<p>The thing that helped me tame YouTube was creating separate channels for my various interests. This keeps all my relevant subs in one place and really helps the algorithm. I turn off all the feeds on my main computer using <a href="https://socialfocus.app/" rel="nofollow">https://socialfocus.app/</a>. This prevents me from going down a YouTube hole when I don't want to but my searches and views still tune the respective algorithms. Occasionally, a stray recommendation will show up in the feed and I try to mark it "Not Interested".<p>Now its a real joy checking my channel feeds on the weekend and queueing things up to watch later. I have excellent stuff to chew through when I feel like it - in the gym, cooking, cleaning etc. I really look forward to doing these things now.<p>Switching profiles takes a few clicks but the upside has been totally worth it. It's a shame they don't make this workflow more obvious (You have to go to Account -> Switch accounts -> View all channels -> Create a channel) to set this up.<p>I wish more social media allowed you to bucket your feed into "interests". Maximizing clicks/views doesn't have to come at the cost of scattered attention.</p>

<p>> niche of Mac keyboard users<p>Is it a niche though? Logitech, cheap BT keyboards etc mostly stick to this layout. And it's not just the left side that is the issue - they move fn to the right in place of the alt key.

Thanks for the rec! It's a shame they don't ship to where I am right now. I'll try to pick one up next time I travel.</p>

<p>Why do they never make these with 4 modifier keys on the left side like Mac keyboards(Ctrl, Fn, Alt, Cmd)? Hate not being able to use muscle memory switching between my MBP and an external keyboard.</p>

<p>I wish apple would put a damn 5G chip on their laptops!<p>It makes no sense that you can get a 12.9" iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular but not a 13" MBA Wi-Fi + Cellular. Sure, battery life might take a bit of a hit but I like that compromise more than needing to fret about my phone's battery levels because of the extra drain from tethering.</p>

<p>I think these still stick to 16:10.<p>If you take 74px off the height for the notch/menubar area, you get 3024 x 1890 and 3456 x 2160 which are both 16:10.</p>

<p>This whole article is great, but the first 2 paragraphs really resonated with me: <a href="http://www.loper-os.org/#selection-29.0-44.0" rel="nofollow">http://www.loper-os.org/#selection-29.0-44.0</a><p>Here's an excerpt:<p><i>Sadly, the above scenario is more truth than fiction – for computer enthusiasts.  There is a particularly cruel discrepancy between what a creative child imagines the trade of a programmer to be like and what it actually is.  When you are a teenager, alone with a (programmable) computer, the universe is alive with infinite possibilities. You are a god. Master of all you survey. Then you go to school, major in “Computer Science,” graduate – and off to the salt mines with you, where you will stitch silk purses out of sow’s ears in some braindead language, building on the braindead systems created by your predecessors, for the rest of your working life. There will be little room for serious, deep creativity. You will be constrained by the will of your master (whether the proverbial “pointy-haired boss,” or lemming-hordes of fickle startup customers) and by the limitations of the many poorly-designed systems you will use once you no longer have an unconstrained choice of task and medium.  To my knowledge, no child grows up “playing doctor” and still believes as a teenager (or even as a college student) that an actual medical practice resembles that activity.  Likewise, no one has a fully functional toy legal system to play with as a child, and as a result goes into law.  On the other hand, “adult” programming, seen from afar, is enough like child-programming to set the computer-enthusiast child up for just this kind of exceptionally cruel bait-and-switch.</i></p>
