If I'm being honest, it's no where near as bad as Twitter. But still a dumpster fire

I mean that sounds like a pretty good response to me

I don't think we know it's ruining our eyes, and screen usage probably doesn't affect circadian rhythms unless it's near bed time. But we do know sitting around all day increases your mortality quite a bit.

Also, blue light filter glasses are a total scam.

Artificial sweeteners. Everyone is so obsessed with whether or not they cause cancer that their other potential effects get much less attention. There's a major industry push to keep them on the shelves, and we still have only recently discovered the gut microbiome.

Title. I accidentally close threads halfway down the comments and can't get back to where I was. I'd rather have the gesture disabled if it's too much work to hold my spot (I'm on Android, where back is built into the OS unlike iOS)

Recently got a fountain pen and have been practicing my handwriting with it. Oddly meditative and relaxing

Except most people don't use adblock. I don't even know how they live

I disagree. Firmware originally referred to things in ROM or EEPROM. Basically software that is firmly in place and doesn't change, providing an abstraction layer between the hardware and software.

My only hesitation is, how does it scale? There might be a good answer, but I can't seem to find it. If a specific page gets excessive popularity like /r/memes, is the entire burden of hosting that left to one instance? And can that load be shared somehow, either by adding more physical servers or getting help from other instances?
