  Exactly. Also, the key word in these type of studies is “linked”, which means that’s only a correlation, with no prove of causality. The way it’s written, it makes you think that the screen time causes anxiety and depression, but there are other studies that suggest the causality goes in the other direction, kids that suffer from depression tend to spend more time in social media.

  Keepass is exactly that. Basically all the client side parts, and the database is a single encrypted file that you can sync however you want.

  Exactly. LLMs don’t understand semantically what the data means, it’s just how often some words appear close to others.

  Of course this is oversimplified, but that’s the main idea.

  This!! Wendell is the best! He actually started designing his own KVMs because the ones on the market didn’t have all the functionalities/support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anything to watch out for with 0.2mm or 0.1mm nozzle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure about Marble and Galaxy, but I would avoid printing the rest with less than 0.4. Most wood filaments recommend 0.6 or above.

  For a YouTube replacement, maybe look into Nebula, it’s a subscription streaming service, but owned by the content creators, no ads. It also has some podcasts.

  Regarding music, I listen mostly to somaFM. It’s an Internet radio with lots of different stations. Mostly independent artists. It’s free, no subscription, no ads, listener supported (you can donate/buy merch to support them).
