What i have to say today is this:

I have noticed that I was so addicted to reddit that even now that I haven't used reddit in months, my fingers would still open a new tab and type reddit.com whenever i need dopamine.

It's only thanks to a site blocker extension that i catch myself and go, Woah there buddy, what are you doing, you're not supposed to do that

This addiction is ingrained so much in me that it's muscle memory now

I've noticed that this happens mostly when i get stuck on a problem. I'd be trying to solve a bug, and I can't understand, and instead of trying a bit harder, my brain would just open a new tab and type either reddit.com or youtube.com in it. And then when they don't open (because they're blocked), i would catch myself, and wonder why did I open this subconsciously, why am i not trying harder to solve the bug?

Even though my tumblr usage has become very less these days, because its banned in my country, i still think its the best platform for when i have smth to say but dunno who to say it to.

So i can just come here and shout it out into the void, and sometimes i will hear back some voices of people saying, yeah, we liked what you said. That's really cool.

Make sure to 'bleed responsibily' when going into the linux rabbit hole

Dont make yourself less productive by using the latest neovim LSPs, the latest packages (pacman -Syu everyday), and jumping to every shiny new config. Doing this made me less productive, not more, and it didn't even teach me a lot about linux (which i thought it would), instead i just ended up being frustrated.

So take things slowly, and use 'kinda' stable software pls, and save yourself from lots of headache.

Battlebit

Things i love:

- Its just 2 GBs, I'm impressed by whatever optimizations they're doing (besides the obvious)

- It runs butter smooth on my potato PC

- The people are really nice and chill, VOIP makes the experience better instead of worse

Things i dont like:

- I have to play on 200 ping cos no South Asia servers 🥲

another reason youtube music is preferable over spotify: it plays the music louder, with no consideration for your headphone lifespan

[papayajuan2019]

and the lyrics section is so much aesthetically preferable. the recommendation algo is so much more fun and crazy too

Sometimes i am just amazed by the existence of smartphones. Unimaginable convenience in our palms.
