  • I was looking into this earlier to try fixing a display that was being offset on an old tv screen. The display was going off the left side of the TV, causing a black bar on the right side.

    I was trying xrandr, and fixed it somewhat by offsetting the display back, but somehow it did not fix the right side - it seemed as if the display had went under the black bar.

    But yeah you can offset, stretch, skew and rotate with xrandr




  • My guess would be the sense of fulfilment.

    At work you have a purpose, and so you fulfil it.

    At home, to motivate myself to do the chores, is to find a rationale for it to be done.

    • Laundry? So I can wear them to work / be ready to look nice when going out.
    • Dishes? So I can have nice big servings of meals and be able to cook.
    • Cleaning? So I can enjoy a nice, cleaned house without getting dirty when I walk around (walking barefoot inside is a good indicator when to clean)

    Etc. Etc. Plus it helps to enforce the thought that I’m “adulting”, like the kid in me and others would say.










  • Okay, good on ya. Hate Google on as much as you want.

    I don’t have an infinite supply of income to be able to support their lowest monthpy subscription tiers of all my favourite creators, which ends up being the same financial issue with paying for multiple exclusive platforms, but for creators instead.

    Even if I do support my most favourite of the most deserving creators, I don’t have the time to reap their benefits (eg. WIPs, streams, etc) as I already am consuming and enjoying their works that they publicly release. The only exception to this is exclusive content that isn’t posted on Youtube - which even then some creators do release them eventually.


  • Youtube Premium? The creators do get more than the standard ad-supported viewer and you don’t get any ads.

    I get that we’re all trying to not see ads without paying money but I do acknowledge their infrasturucture and the feats they have accomplished trying to turn a profit. When youtube vanced was pulled, I did try reVanced for a while but eventually went with Premium.

    I’m not saying you should get Premium and give up the fight, I’m aaying consider your usage of Youtube and whether if you can drop it or not. In my case I don’t watch TV or movie streaming platforms (not even on demand) and so Youtube is my primary video consumption platform and it made sense for me to pay.

    Whether if I’ll switch to another country’s pricing by using a VPN or not, that’s for me to consider.
