I haven’t read any news in about 4 or so months.
Previously, I was glued every day doomscrolling multiple news sources and subreddits a day.
In a way, it’s putting my head in the sand. But to be completely up front, my mental health has benefited significantly.
I’m mostly like that now too and yes, it’s healthier.
This might be appropriate today

I had to work on some spreadsheet stuff this morning. My dock stopped working so a lot of it was done head down on one laptop screen. So now I feel a bit uugh and need longer screen free time than my walk at lunch
My monitor stopped working today so I am also using one screen. Shows that I don’t know what I’ve got 'til it’s gone.
Have returned to Firefox and it was far less painful of a transition than I thought. After figuring out some video rendering issues (stuttering caused by hardware acceleration, and tearing fixed by setting minor frame rate to max) there are only upsides so far!
I returned to Firefox (after years of using Chrome out of laziness) on my work laptop because of Google’s manifestly (ha) stupid decision to block functionality that means uBlock Origin no longer could be installed, which means I had no way of manually adding extra filters to block the garbage AI Overview in el goog search results.
Honestly think I should just switch to Firefox on my personal computer too. I use Iceraven on my phone which is a fork of Firefox, anyway…
This is why I returned, though I was using Edge and they haven’t set a date yet for ending Manifest V2 support. Figured I’d get ahead of it. The uBO team also say it works best on Firefox too.
I use Brave on my phone, because of its inbuilt ad blocker - I can watch YT videos without all the ads before, during, and after the vid lol idk about it’s other functionalities however.
I returned to Firefox a few years ago and haven’t looked back. Still as good as ever.

This is the first morning so far I’ve woken up and thought “it’s pretty damn cold”.

Are you perhaps a polar bear?
At least a little yes 🐻❄️
Anyone can join in. Post your Friday night songs.
I don’t think I’m a fan of posting a song per comment (instead of nesting them as replies). It’s drowning out/pushing down the other activity in here.
If people don’t like it let me know. I’m cool.
Woke up 7 times in 8 hours. Yay…
looks at the date 😧
Ok, quick bedding change when Melbcat briefly got up. Quick cycle rewashing of a forgotten load.
When I get up again I’m going to replace the bin bag, throw out the stuff on the bench and empty the litter boxes.

Okay, I fell for it. And then sent the link to my child to annoy him!
