Are attention spans actually shortening? in c/[email protected]

Yes I forgot about the vertical too. I guess it's because the video isn't worth the effort to turn the phone horizontal.

How does this work? You watch 100's of ~10 second videos in a row for hours? Trying to understand because this seems to be a common thing these days.

I have never tried tiktok and only saw some YouTube shorts. I see one or two and it annoys me because it's clipped badly, gives bad information, or just shows something meaningless. Random loud music. The same video keeps playing on a loop as I try to think.

Even if it was great content, my brain just couldn't stay focused beyond a couple videos. The constant changes to a new video would be exhausting for me. There's also no time to think about what you just saw.

iPhone users, what app do you use to browse Lemmy and what is the main reason you like it over others? in c/[email protected]

Boss forced everyone to come into work because she was tired of using tech. Wanted people to come in and eat ice cream while brainstorming with post it notes. Said anyone not there is fired.

Well she didn't put any effort into planning it, and it was very inefficient so everyone ended up using their computers like they had been doing at home. Just with more distractions and needing to commute. Not much work got done so everyone needed to work from home that night after hours to meet deadlines.

Well it turns out the guy passing out icecream was also passing out covid. Every single person on the team got sick. None of the projects were completed by the deadlines and the entire department was shut down. Everyone lost their jobs.

The boss herself is still unemployed over a year later because she is now disabled with long covid. Has a heart problem from it where she can pass out at random times. Can no longer taste ice cream.

This is surprising to me, I actually experienced the opposite. Reddit had a lot of teens but Lemmy seems to have older posters who are more thoughtful about what they post. In my 30's myself and wasn't able to get anyone younger than 34 to join.

It could just be the communities you subscribed to?

Most search results were putting Reddit links at the top and I kept accidentally clicking them. Even when I remembered not to click them it was very annoying.

I recently discovered ublacklist and wanted to share it with others who are trying to stop visiting Reddit. I know it's available on iOS, Firefox and Chrome.

Not sure if it is on Android, but probably is or an alternative should be that hopefully someone else can share.

It isn't only for Google, seems to filter most if not all search engines.
