Fellow fan of the Namid Desert waterhole here! As it happens, I made this wrapper for it https://waterhole.genmon.partykit.dev This single-serving waterhole: - makes the YouTube stream fill the browser for an Immersive Experience(TM) - shows how many people are watching in real-time - provides ephemeral chat with other people present I know at least one team at an unnamed big tech co who would all have it open on the…

Speaking of Namib Desert, yesterday I was in a nature museum and saw the Namib beetle, the fog collector beetle! https://imgur.com/a/UbIefte I love nature, and I am seriously thinking of changing careers completely away from technology and getting into a nature-related field, or at least something to use my technology background but spend most of the day with animals and in nature. I just don't know the whats and how…

Fun thing about these beetles is they do their territory call by knocking their abdomen against rocks or hard surfaces making a distinct TokTok sound.

As kids we used to have great fun knocking rocks together around sunset to get them to call back. Kinda like beetle bird calls.

how often does it rain there? I seem to have joined the feed just as a shower started

Same

It made me think of The Who - Love, Reign O’er Me.

  Only love can bring the rain
  That makes you yearn to the sky
  Only love can bring the rain
  That falls like tears from on high

Less youtube is my next big thing. My screen time is too high.

I had this problem for a long time, the only thing that worked was installing an ad on that removes recommendations. The only thing I use youtube for today is intentionally following ASL (starcraft broodwar) in korea. The ad-on makes the home screen completely white/empty, meaning I just get reminded constantly ohh, yeah I am not supposed to use youtube unless there is something particular I want to watch.

I use "Code Injector" extension which is available for firefox and chrome. You can add custom javascript and css to any page. I usually inspect the page, find the classes or ids of the elements I want to get rid of, and do a display:none on them.
