I think a big part of it is that when we are young, all of these are new experiences to us. And as such, they carry a lot more emotion and stimulation.

As an adult, you've experienced many things. To some degree, your brain is likely acustomed to it.

Something that helps is breaking out of your routines and experiencing new things. I've heard our neural pathways described as the grooves that form on a hill when sledding. When you first slide down the hill, you're making brand new grooves. Each trip is different and unique. But over time, trails get established and you end up using the same worn trails over and over.

Experiencing new, bespoke things is like breaking out of the trails and making a new one.

At least, that's my understanding! I'm not a proffessional, just someone who can relate to what you're describing :)

Agreed. Feels weird how normalied addictive social media behavior has become.

To be fair, that poster does look pretty awesome.

I’m really curious to see if any of these options can pan out long-term. It’s extremely expensive to host video, and it seems like it could be a real challenge for federated video hosting to take off at scale. I’m hopeful!

arc is developed by The Browser Company. its free, but I don’t believe it’s open source. its basically a UI layer on top of chromium so its performance is about what you would get out of Chrome.

What don’t you understand? Let’s start there :)

Appears to be up for me.

Tears Of the Kingdom! Fully went in expecting to be disappointed, but it just continues to blow me away the deeper I get into it. Truly incredible what they were able to pull off with such old hardware.

When I was little, the Gremlins movies terrified me! Not sure why since they're super campy, but 🤷‍♂️ kids are weird.

seems much faster. nice work!

Dunno. I wasn’t the OP.

There's a lot of great options out there that aren't Gmail.

I would love to help if I can! I am active US eastern (UTC -5) times. Will also give me a chance to bake some admin tools into my Lemmy app Lemon ☺️

Wow I completely misread the title. I thought it was what worlds would you RATHER live in! 🤦‍♂️

Studio Ghibli worlds are lovely so I'd definitely want to live in them :)

Just dropped a tip on your Ko-Fi - thank you for all the work you've done on Lemm.ee! Really hope this instance sticks around and doesn't defederate like some of the others!

I think it’s one of those things that is generally a good instinct, but easy to go overboard and way over index on.

Usually I try to optimize code for “how easy is it to entirely delete this module” - loose coupling is the bigger concern. Sometimes it makes sense to repeat code with this approach. Usually I’ll abstract a shared concern out once I repeat it 3 or so times, but not always.

It’s all about trade offs.

Would love your feedback, @[email protected]! Consider yourself on the list 🥳

I kind of agree. Hard to take too seriously with that kind of verbiage.

+1! I am not an infra guide, but a SWE by trade. Happy to lend a hand however I can.

I really hope we get OAuth support soon. Other fediverse apps (ie Mastodon) already implement this so that should help roadmap a path forward for Lemmy.
