Hey, no problem. I was just procrastinating doing actual work ><

I also just found the original cat png so I added it here. Its a bit more detailed and would probably print nicer.

Sure, why not?

Imgur again, just in case

Here is my cleanup attempt. I tried to make it work if printed centered on A4 paper,

Imgur link for insurance

Edit:

Just found the original png[1] so here is a version with more detail

What is lesswrong and why should they avoid linking it? It looks like a forum of sorts with a somewhat pretentious code of conduct but nothing to avoid on principle.

Best thing I did for my phone induced stress is get an old Pebble smartwatch, choose the few apps/contacts I want to get notified instantly to vibrate on the watch and set my phone itself on silent permanently.

We used to just get up and do the dishes while whatever injected nonsense interupted what we were watching on TV. And when it became too much we turned to DVDs or piracy. Then streaming was the “savior” until whoever funded it realized that more users do not equal more money. And now we are almost back to square one. This is just played out at this point. Google/Yt/TIktok etc are just betting on the addictive nature of instant gratification to survive.

At some point, I think, all the effords of adblocking (grayjay, newpipe, sponsorblock, ublock) will seem impractical when a download (and maybe now scan to cut out ads and sponsor segments) will achive the same. And then peer to peer is the most practical way to share that instead of redoing all the work.

Until downloading is hindered too much and someone somewhere just has OBS with some adhoc script on top running 24/7 to capture youtube videos. The conversation of when is adblocking piracy etc seems to me to be coming to a natural end (at least as far as legalilties go).

One saving grace the internet has bestowed on media is that it is easier to follow creators and fund their work (if you can afford it).
