  • I have some earplugs I carry on my keyring that I originally bought for concerts. I don’t know if you can wear something like that or noise cancelling headphones, but that might help on occasion.

    Whistling is where I’d draw the line though. That would make me the crazy person that would confront him directly. If he isnt receptive to knocking it off I would escalate to my boss or get hr back in the mix.






  • I used windows 10 on my gaming PC for many years. I “upgraded” to 11, and it felt bad. The UI/ux was tolerable, but between the AI features and everything requiring a Microsoft account, it got on my nerves quickly.

    I literally just wanted to upgrade the firmware on my Xbox one controller (so it’d work in Linux…) and that forced a login. At that point I logged in, upgraded my controller, formatted as ext4, and now I rarely look back.

    Every once in a while a game will crash or not be playable on Linux, but I’d trade that for being in control of the hardware I’ve spent thousands on over the years.

    Very happy with bazzite on my htpc and a kde based distro on my main computer. I pop over to my MacBook for casual computing, but for the real stuff I’ll never use windows again (barring being forced by future employers)




  • that’s awesome! I’m glad it is helping you ease your pain. It helps a lot with my anxiety and sleeping, but I’m a weirdo and I’m in my head a lot, so even if I’m super deep it doesn’t shut off that part of my brain.

    I do imagine if I was being boiled alive it would still hurt a lot, but I’d prefer to be on some strong edibles if that “had” to happen.

    I have experimented on myself quite a bit with THC. It isn’t a pain reliever in my experience. I have had a headache or body pain, used some, and then I was just like “fuck, that’s all I can think about now.”

    It’s great to distract from general malaise or boredom, but won’t help if anything painful is actually happening.




  • They parse the website for feeds, search, etc. It is a java library and it looks like they are using jsoup to parse the dom.

    Using the website and actually establishing a connection to a video are separate things. The search side of things is essentially a headless browser that is just aimlessly looking for videos. As far as YouTube is concerned nothing is played during this process.

    When you decide to commit and watch a video, the NewPipe client establishes a connection to the video stream, which doesn’t count for YouTube stats.

    YouTube counts a view for long-form content when a viewer watches for at least 30 seconds, while Shorts views count each time a short begins to play or replay, with no minimum watchtime. Valid views must come from human users, with limitations on how often the same person can generate views within a short timeframe to prevent fraud from bots or artificial inflation.
