    Citizen EBJ74-1741.

    This is the watch that has been successful in stopping me from buying new watches 😅

    It's perfect for a daily watch. It's a HAQ watch (only 6 seconds late in a year, the last time I checked). It's solar powered. It also has perpetual calendar feature.

    Pretty much a set it and forget it watch, but very accurate time keeping.

    I bought the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I've never really tried recording and editing videos before. I'm more of a photography person.

    I've gotta say that video is fun too. I can do simple edits now, but still pretty much a novice.

    What surprises me is how much I'm learning with the help of "AI" too. I can select a few videos in some video editing apps, then the app will automatically edit and create a highlight video. After doing that a few times and taking notes. I started to edit the recommended edits and became a bit more confident in editing the videos myself.

    I bought Legends and Lattes because of the list. It looks like it's going to be a comforting read.

    appear to be photoshopped

    It may or may not be. It might be simply because in that particular frame, some objects are just simply so much brighter than the stars (the earth for example).

    During the pandemic, when a lot of us had to spend most of the time at home with our spouses, me and my SO fought often.

    Found this book , and noticed that the book explained a lot of the same problems.

    Got diagnosed with adhd (not the hiperactivity part) as an adult in my 30s, got some medicine, but honestly I don't really like it. I'd like to try other medicine but methylphenidate is the only thing available here.

    Found that caffeine helps a little bit (for me). So most days I drink coffee now, and drink the medicine only when I feel I'd really need it for the day.

    For that use case, you might be interested in toffeeshare as well. Not open source though AFAIK.

    Reddit said Wednesday that the platform is revamping its privacy settings with an aim to make ad personalization and account visibility toggles consistent. Most notably though, it is removing the ability to opt out of ad personalization based on Reddit activity.

    The company said that it will still have opt-out controls in “select countries” without specifying which ones. It mentioned in a blog post that users won’t see more ads but they will see better-targeted ads following this change.
