  • Filters; opt-out of negativity. I switched to Voyager from Boost because it supports filters and I can just blacklist topics that cause me stress. Anywhere I can just stop a topic from ever entering my perception, the better. A single bad headline may ruin my mood for hours from just a glance, better to never get the chance.

    Subscriptions; opt-in to the topics and news you care about. Find a good source that offers curated feeds instead of a firehouse of everything. You can only care so much, so use that attention sparingly on things that deserve it.

    Avoid algorithms. They are designed to keep your attention on them and outage is good at that. Save your health, find it yourself.

    Community. Find people, groups, or organizations that have a similar mindset and share good content with them. If they share good content in kind, you all can improve your state of mind.



  • Did some investigating on that refresh rate number, it looks like the LED panels use something called Scrambled Pulse Width Modulation (S-PWM). From the little I can understand, it just seems to be a method of splitting and offsetting the PWM signal.

    It’s unclear to me if that means that a single pixel could be updated 3,840 times in a second or if the entire display collectively updates that much.

    Playing with some math, if you had 4 sub-pixel LEDs updating at 120hz and separated into 8 sections across the entire panel that was each offset in time by some fraction, you could say there were 3,840 updates to the panel across a second. That would be quite the bastardization of the term “refresh rate”, but I could see that being the case.
