That is the only thing I like about chat-based communities. It is nice to have a way to catch up, if I want to, from where I left. Cannot be done with modern links aggregators

One of my favorite facts is that while the first pyramids were being built, there were still Mammoth roaming some northern European regions (never checked whether this is true or not but I’ve heard it so many times that I want to believe it is true)

If chapters are available for the video, yt-dlp has a command line argument that will split the video into different files, one for each chapter. Quoting a reddit comment:

you need ffmpeg.
how to convert to mp3: wiki
split chapters: --split-chapters
example naming files after chapters: -o "chapter:%(section_number)s %(section_title)s.%(ext)s"
available chapter variables:

section_title (string): Title of the chapter
section_number (numeric): Number of the chapter within the file
section_start (numeric): Start time of the chapter in seconds
section_end (numeric): End time of the chapter in seconds

as i recall, i don’t use this myself, it will also keep the original file, which naming depends on the regular -o (use in addition to the -o line with chapter:)

--split-chapters will also work with the timestamps mentioned in the description

Nice, thanks for the suggestion :)

Right, I will try to look for some options in the developer settings

Edit: there are a bunch of bt-related settings in the Dev options menu, most of them are about audio codec, AVRCP/MAP versions, Bluetooth LE, and other options, but unfortunately nothing that sounds like what I’m looking for :')

Hmm that’s weird. I bought my Pixel 5 in 2023, the bluetooth devices I own are the same I was using with my previous phone (mostly, four devices: the car’s bt-aux adapter, bt speaker, headphones, cool headphones), and they all used to re-connect automatically. Now none of them does lol so I assumed it was an issue with the phone

aaaah you’re right! The Italian translation was a little weird :)

I am in a similar position, yes. I’ve resisted for so many years, but Instagram right now is the only place where some of the local organizations I’m interested in post. Clubs, town events, even leftist social centers who are usually sensible to online privacy and megacorp dependence sometimes only have an instagram or facebook page.

Right now I have a text note with the urls to the websites of the instagram pages that don’t have a newsletter/RSS feed. And another note with the link to their instagram pages, that I sometimes check out. Luckily you still don’t necessarily need to login to access an account’s recent posts from the browser, so as long as you periodically clear your cookies, a browser will do.

I also have been trying to convince some of these pages to create an account on Mastodon or use Gancio, if available. Even a Telegram channel would suffice. Some of them (two) did, but stopped to update it after a few months because most reach comes from facebook/instagram and they won’t bother to post stuff on another platform

Correct. It’s from https://fedidb.org/, if you scroll down the main page you can find the Software User Distribution pie

Ever since I was a kid, my family had this electric bathroom warmer which has been my best friend for a lot of time. For 15 years, it has been the main reason for me to quickly wake up during school and work days. I needed the warmth and the white noise, even during summer. A few years ago I decided to “quit”, because it started too feel a little like an addiction, and not being able to spend at least 10 minutes in front of this thing would mean ruin the entire morning. Quitting wasn’t that hard, of course, but ever since I quit I have a severe problem with snoozing alarms. I need at least 30 minutes to wake up, rested or not rested it doesn’t matter, I just cannot help myself to step off off the bed as soon as the alarm rings. Tbh I do not see this as a serious problem, cause lukily it doesn’t fuck with my usual daily scehdule, but I will soon try to roll up my sleeves and see if I can improve my alarm2bathroom time

Thanks for sharing. What was your daily usage, while you were consuming? How long have you been off off meth?

Videogames 10 years ago. I was spending time on videogames basically every day. I didn’t see it as something harmful, but during one christmas break I dared myself not to play videogames during the 10 days school break. Lost all interest in gaming in a matter of days, never picked it up since then. I sold my PS4 six months later. A few years ago I built myself a gaming PC with the intention to use it for gaming but I’ve actually never bought or downloaded any game

I still play local multiplayer games every once in a while with I’m over at some friends’ place (eg. party games as Stickbold, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Fifa), or online tabletop games such as hangman, gartic phone, geoguesser or boardgamesarena.com
