I greatly reduced how much news I consume per day and it’s done wonders for my mental health.

I chose 2 sources of news that I trust and then I block news everywhere else in my life. Every morning I read the news from the two sources I picked and that is all the news I will consume for the day.

If I notice that I am consuming news elsewhere I will block/ignore/hide that source.

As an example, if I notice a community here post too much news I will just block it. I use Discord, so if one of the servers I’m in has any political or news channels I will mute them, etc etc.

Doing this, I find that the news I read is more relevant to me because the sources I chose are local news networks. In addition, because I am not getting news from social media, the news I read is much less sensationalized.

It really makes my morning news reads boring and I think that is a good thing.

I will say though that I never thought I’d live to see the day where an Apple laptop is the best bang for the buck laptop. If you can grab a M1 macbook refurbished with warranty (places like best buy in canada or back market in the US will offer warranty on refurbished laptops) it is very likely the best bang for your buck laptop.

I got one myself an I have to say, the M1 and likely the other M series laptops are insane. The battery life is nuts and the performance is unlike any non-M series laptop I’ve used. It feels even snappier than a 2024 Asus G14, a laptop that costs double the M1’s price.

Then you get to the hardware and the entire laptop just feels so well designed. I really hate that there is this much of a gap between Apple laptops and everything else.

I have to give credit to Apple here for absolutely demolishing the laptop market.

Yeah i think it’s a bit deceptive to post this to !canada@lemmy.ca without any context when this was a photo taken of a bag of chips from a US grocery store.

Hmm that is so weird.

Thank you for the kind words!

I can’t reproduce this one at all. If anyone has any additional information on how to reproduce this, please let me know.

I will consider this is all else fails but I also don’t have high hopes this regex would even work.

I was able to reproduce the issue. I’ll have a fix for this in the next release.

This was not intentional and I also cannot reproduce it on my end which probably means this is related to some combination of settings. Can you copy your settings and DM them to me? Thank you. Alternatively you can paste them here as well.

You do not need to include databases in your export.

Wow rude /s.

I think one can make a good case for either style of keyword matching. In any case, the solution here is to add an option on whether to match by word boundaries or not.

LOL. Are you perhaps like me and have a filter set up to filter out any posts that has “elon” in the title? If so its being filtered out because watermelon contains “elon” as a substring.

Me with goodnight punpun /s

This is the intended behavior. I’ll add something to the roadmap to force it to always be on.

Can you post an example to a video that refuses to play?

It looks like you deleted your post. By default, Summit does not show deleted posts. You can enable deleted posts in Settings > Posts feed > Display deleted posts.

This doesn’t convert cleanly to java/kotlin. At least one of the groups is messed up and I am not going to go through 19,000 characters to find each one. I found a library that looks promising and I’ll try that instead.

Interesting, there is some backend logic that prevents links within paren from ending in an alpha numeric character. For instance if I send the comment (https://google.com/), Lemmy auto changes it to (https://google.com/). I wonder if this is done to make it easier to parse links.

test: (https://google.com/)

Urg. I hate dealing with hyperlinks. The reason why the ) isn’t included is because I didn’t want to match the paren in case the url is enclosed in paren. Eg. (https://google.com/). But clearly there are edge cases where it needs to be included.

This is a bug. Thanks for reporting this issue. Will fix for the next release.

I can’t reproduce this on my end. Can you add step by step instructions on how to reproduce this? This will help me troubleshoot the issue. Thank you.
