YouTube premium actually has its own version of sponsorblock called skip ahead, it works really well, so they’re not ideologically opposed to skipping sponsored segments

I wonder if this is related to yellowing plastics? Retr0brighting with peroxide and sunbriting (putting yellowed plastics out in the sun) are already common treatments in the retro community. I’ll have to give it a try on some of my old har

I’ve written a PWA that I use daily on my iPhone, and it delivers push notifications when I’m not using the app to the lock screen. Don’t get me wrong, Apple’s PWA implementation is very limited, but you can definitely have background notif

I’ve not casually browsed reddit since apollo shut down, occasionally I’ll end up on a post from a search, or my wife will show me something she’s seen, but that’s it. I was a pretty heavy user before as well. Before apollo stopped I had se

I started doing exactly this at the start of the year. I'm now working 25% less than my full-time colleagues over 4 days (ie: I work one less day a week, and a slightly shorter work day). I absolutely love it and would never go back. O
