I don't know what I did last night but duckduckgo refuses to serve me search results this morning 😟

scared to hell because of my poor language skills

I 100% agree with this shit

> Gamers Have Become Less Interested in Strategic Thinking and Planning
> Using the starting norm (i.e., the 50th-%tile) as the basis for comparison, the average Strategy score has declined to 33rd-%tile as of April 2024. Or put more plainly, 67% of gamers today care less about strategic thinking and planning when playing games than the average gamer back in June 2015.
> The decline in Strategy clearly pre-dates COVID; it is noticeable from the earliest data collection periods and the trend line suggests it started before June 2015.

> There are many seemingly-related findings in terms of our media consumption habits. For example, over time, shorter YouTube videos have garnered a higher share of overall views. The duration of shots in movies (i.e., between each cut) has decreased from 16 seconds in 1930 to 4 seconds in 2010. The average time spent on a computer app window (e.g., on a Word doc before switching to a browser window) has decreased from 2.5 minutes in 2004 to 47 seconds in 2016.
> In this light, the decline in Strategy is likely not an idiosyncratic phenomenon among digital gamers, but parallels the general reduction in attention spans observed by researchers in different fields.

> Another potential hypothesis is that the increasing negativity, polarization, intrusiveness, and emotional manipulation in social media has created a persistent cognitive overload on the finite cognitive resources we have. Put simply, we may be too worn out by social media to think deeply about things. For example, higher engagement with social media is correlated with lower math and reading scores and poorer mental health among teenagers. Of course, again, these findings are correlational and not direct causal evidence.

I regret in my most depressive area choosing the cope of just peak distraction all the time. Especially with autism my like, mental bandwidth or whatever is lower too, so like, it's very annoying this constant overload low attention span shit people have nowadays. I've made a lot of progress on undoing it, I rather enjoy peace and silence, but I still think I'm too prone to distracting myself when I shouldn't be. It's a lot easier to get worse than to improve.

am I really gonna drink all my alcohol again tonight?
yes

@phnt @rdr @kirby there's very regularly weird parser/sanitizer issues, i've found a few before and as easy as they were i'm sure there's still some easy exploits sitting out there. that said everything i've come across is pretty low severity and i've never seen a serious pleroma issue out in the wild short of flooding someones tl

that's just my two cents. FE tends to have a lot of small bugs, backend is weird but it seems more or less put together

I am using mastodon fron husky

@lain this is powerful

@icedquinn same
not even a laptop though i just wanna take some gear go into the woods and disappear

@icedquinn latvia is very flat and the woods are very clear, easy to see straight through. this makes illegal camping annoying

@lain do they still have mold burgers i crave the mold

@icedquinn @arcana i think they know itd be too risky as things stand but they'll force others to have that. there's already enough anti u.s. government extremist shit in the military ranks and a lot of it is relatively dormant but its pretty pervasive. they know this of course, they're not stupid, but they dont risk to risk that shit especially by pulling in all these other droves who largely have zero interest in dying for this coutnry and masses who just hate the government as it is, who are not just really prone to that same extremist shit if they went in but also just far more likely to cause issue. they're too hated to pull a mass conscription with all these active wars they're doing

@icedquinn @arcana nato american death
i'm so fucking sick of the americans running military policy or using that stuff for extortion of other shits they're not directly in control over. like its their fault we have conscription again now. what the fuck man. wheres the american conscription you faggots

@kaia @ruin she likes me too

@ruin @kaia tf you mean "i'd imagine"

@ruin @kaia im going to fuck your shit up

@ruin @kaia it's clearly fake the word AUTISM isn't even aligned 3dimenshionally

@lain @sun @newt No, it just supports the skins. And tough luck getting it going, last update 2007. But Audacious is down the line of forks of XMMS and actually maintained. Also QMMP supports the skins too which is what i usually use. The latter also explicitly states it's imitating winamp. I'm not sure which is most similar though.

@kaia yeah cuz like if theres more random races than the core one thats diversifying it right?

@kaia A lot of them claim jews/zionists/wtv import racial minorities to make the population less diverse to dilute the threat to them (like cuz i racial conflict takes up the time or wtv)
