I've been using it for a few months and it's been great, but I just found out that by default it injects itself into all processes and it gave me the ick (for example if you use Firefox you can see in about:third-party)

The explanation provided seems kinda logical but I don't know if it's legit or not

Sure thing, here it is in a new profile, though for some reason I couldn't get the tab height changes to work without using the browser.tabs.secondaryTextUnsupportedLocales setting

Sorry, it was unclear in my comment. By "it’s actually part of the Mozilla Corporation" I was referring to Firefox, not Mozilla Foundation

for anybody that wants to disable it, go to the settings and search for "Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement"

(or through the dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled flag in about:config)

  • Lights: Switching to light sources/bulbs with lower brightness/warmer light temperature (lower Kelvin/K-value) 3 hours before bed. (Light affects our sleep-wake cycle, aka the circadian rhythm. Our brain processes bright light as "the sun is still up so it's not time to sleep yet")
  • Screens: Gradually dimming electronic screens until bedtime (Computer: using F.lux and lowering the brightness gradually in the graphics card's control panel. Phone: with a built-in Night/Dark Mode option that you can schedule or by using an app like Twilight). // Don't take your devices to the bedroom, or keep them far away from the bed and set them on silent/shut them off.
  • Try not to sleep for more than 8 hours so you'll need the sleep the next night.
  • Sleeping in a closed and completely dark room (including covering LED lights on electronics, or using a face mask) with something that makes a white noise (fan/air purifier/etc.)
  • Food: Having a light meal 3-3.5 hours before bed and light snacks 1.5-2 hours before bed, to not put the body into overdrive digesting a heavy meal or cause heartburn/indigestion, and also to not go to sleep hungry and get distracted by that.
  • If you sleep on your stomach with your head to the side, you can use a thin and narrow side pillow (but firm) along your torso to support your shoulder on the side that your head is pointing to. (you can also use a thin pillow for your head to not strain your neck/spine - there are ones made for kids if needed)

On the humorous side:

  • My Brother, My Brother And Me - 3 brothers giving not-so-serious advice to listeners, reacting to questions from Yahoo Answers (when that was a thing), and later adding other segments, and overall being funny/silly (note: sometimes they make references that go over my head, but they're still enjoyable. These references might be best enjoyed by midwestern Americans who grew up in the late 80's/early 90's)
  • My Dad Wrote A Porno - 3 people reacting to an "erotica" book series that one of the guys' dad published (I would say the books are maybe only 5%-20% explicit, depending on the chapter) (some of the characters' voices can be annoying/grating, and the narrator tends to repeat sentences after they react to them which can be annoying as well)
  • No Such Thing As A Fish - the behind-the-scenes staff of the show QI bring up interesting facts and tidbits from history/nature/etc. (each episode is split into 4 parts where each member brings up a fact and the others react to it and bring up related facts)
  • If I Were You - Jake & Amir from CollegeHumor giving advice to listeners (mostly in a sarcastic/tongue-in-cheek way but sometimes genuinely), mostly about relationships/dating
  • SmartLess - Jason Bateman and Will Arnett (Arrested Development) and Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) interview a famous person each episode where only one of the hosts known who it is beforehand (it gets better after the first few episodes, though some conversations are less funny/entertaining than others)
  • Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend - Conan interviews a famous person each episode (I like the interview part better than the introduction, and similarly to Smartless some conversations are less funny than others)
  • If you watched The Office (US) - Office Ladies - Jenna and Angela from the show reacting to each episode of the show and bringing up behind-the-scenes stuff (some of episodes include interviews with other cast members/staff) (might not be as humorous as the others but still fun to listen to)

I haven't caught up on most of these so I don't know if they stay as good but:

  • My Brother, My Brother And Me - 3 brothers giving not-so-serious advice to listeners, reacting to questions from Yahoo Answers (when that was a thing), and overall being funny/silly
  • My Dad Wrote A Porno - 3 people reacting to an "erotica" book series that one of the guys' dad published (I would say the books are maybe only 5%-20% explicit, depending on the chapter) (some of the characters' voices can be annoying/grating, and the narrator tends to repeat sentences after they react to them which can be annoying as well)

I use Feedbro in Firefox (also available in Chrome/Brave/etc.), and also FeedDemon on Windows which still works well even though it's not maintained anymore

[-] 001Guy001@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No problem!

btw to make the changes apply you need to restart your PC or run CMD as an admin and run gpupdate /force

Pro- the SSD will live longer
Con- the RAM will fill up more, especially when opening resource-heavy pages (though there's a way to unload inactive tabs so that might not be that big of a deal, and especially if you have enough RAM to spare)

Personally I've been using memory-only cache for about a decade (half on HDD, half on SSD) and I don't think I've noticed any adverse effects from that. (though I rarely have more than 5 tabs open at once)

Also, related, is there a way to list communities available from a specific instance? Like if I wanted to see all communities local to Lemmy.world or something (that’s not my local instance), can I do that? If so, how?

Click on Communities at the top of the page, https://lemm.world/communities (make sure the selected tab is Local), though unfortunately it's a paged list and not all communities in one page.

check out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for searching for communities, though not all will show up. You can also use a specific instance to search for communities like - https://lemmy.world/search?q=networking&type=Communities (make sure the All tab is selected)
