To me, the most useful trick was to set my wristwatch 5 mins ahead of the local time. These days, I only use my phone as a watch but the same principle applies. Catching up bus times was my biggest problem, especially when I needed to use more than one bus line.

You'd think it wouldn't work since I know I technically have 5 more minutes but reading the time as 07:00 instead of 06:55 was pretty effective for me.

Same for me. I started using Reddit because I tried Boost and it felt like a good replacement for the RSS reader I've been using. For one thing, I didn't have to look for the content places I wanna add to RSS and most have difficulty showing full-page content kinda defeated the purpose for me.

I made a Reddit account because of Boost. I didn't know web only features of Reddit because I never used web version.

I originally didn't migrate to Lemmy but kbin. Seeing Boost back for Lemmy, I followed Boost.

I'm not too well-versed on the subject but, isn't user interactions with LLM's also train them further? They make it sound like the product has already been matured and they're letting people use it for free.

It's interesting. I always get a pop-up asking about opting in for sending telemetry when installing Firefox. It was never hidden or the option selected for me. I opt out and it stays opted out.
