  1. Perhaps 2024 will be the year of the girlfriend

  2. Making money over the summer and upgrading to a faster motorcycle

I've had assignments that involve editing a PDF template. So far, LibreOffice Draw has worked for me.

This community is about mildly infuriating: The little stuff that triggers us.

I've never had premium, mostly out of spite after the forcing ads on unmonetized creators and removing the dislike count, once I was able to afford it. But I've seen some other post on Lemmy with the "products you may like" appearing on a premium account.

I've seen people getting a "products you may like" in the suggestions, with premium. There is no way to remove that (other than uBlock origin)

It's not just that, it's also random content totally outside of your interest (I watch gaming and motorcycle content and it tries to feature some foreign holiday celebration videos lol) and worse, "products you may like."

If I pay this kind of money, I expect an API to user-respecting third party apps.

That's what they should do. Allow use of Reddit-style third party apps (before the API debacle) for premium users.

It's not about paying, it's about still getting these stupid featured pop-ups after paying.

This is the true reason why I don't have YouTube premium. This is quite an awful experience for a supposedly premium subscription. Why pay for premium if the experience is better using free methods?

Please corporations, treat paying subscribers well.

When I get a bit more space to myself, I'm thinking of somehow wall mounting a 42"-50" 4K TV and using that as a work monitor. Or maybe I don't need a wall mount. I'd have what feels like acres of screen real estate.

My 2nd monitor. It's some 24" curved 165Hz 1080p monitor that I bought from a guy at my university for $105. While not the best for gaming (noticable ghosting), it's been incredibly helpful for work as it gets more complicated in university. The extra screen real estate lets me fit so much more without needing to alt tab or click on another window.

You probably mean the 13700H, but yeah. I wonder if there's a way to separate the P and E cores in the graph.

 

At least they got rid of the horribly designed all-in-one internet toggle, but this is still a pointless extra click. I have limited mobile data and disabling it helps with battery life. Stop being so pushy, Google!

 

I was watching a video on landscape mode on my phone on YouTube. And then when a wild midroll ad appears, the ad thinks it's a good idea to play a ultrawide-screen video inside a TikTok style vertical phone window, and then puts that in a widescreen video. The whole thing also got smaller to display the CTA at the right.

Which reminds me, I hate how YT ads on mobile try to forcibly cover up the entire screen. It's like seeing a billboard that suddenly expands to fill most of your vision. They didn't used to do that, instead they just took over the video portion of the screen, but you could keep browsing comments while the ad plays.
