More than 15% of teens say they’re on YouTube or TikTok ‘almost constantly’ in c/[email protected]

I've spent over 2,000 hours on YouTube this year alone and am in the target demographic of this study. I watch a lot of videos in the background while I work, commute, or just chill, to keep myself stimulated.

Although not all of the content I watch is necessarily educational, a grand majority of it is. Whenever there's a science video in my feed, I'll probably click it. I'm subscribed to Veritasum, TED, Vox, No Boilerplate, etc.

Try ente.io out. It's much closer to the Google Photos experience.

Usually the plan is to go to China and then flee to a friendlier country. There are also people in China who work with North Koreans to help them defect.

I think it's awesome that they paid the dev. More companies should do that for open source projects

Best time to trade in pixel for an upgrade? (self.googlepixel)
 

I have a Google Pixel 7 right now and I think I'll want to upgrade to the 8 when it releases. I checked current trade in prices and they're honestly underwhelming. CA$265 for a phone I bought 10 months ago?

I've seen people get upgrades for $150, so what's the secret? Is there a period where trade in prices increase?

How long does it take for you to fall asleep? (self.asklemmy)

How do you facilitate remote access? (self.selfhosted)
 

Right now I’ve been using Tailscale because it automatically adapts to my network conditions. If I’m at home, it’ll prioritize local network connection, but when I’m out and about, it’ll automatically beam a direct connection or use a relay.

One gripe I have about it is I can’t run it alongside my normal VPNs on my mobile devices. I have to choose between one or the other.

I have tried Cloudflare Tunnel before, but using it for streaming, like Jellyfin, is forbidden. There’s also the added latency and slowness to having to hop through multiple DCs to reach Cloudflare and back.

When swiping to upvote or downvote a post, and then retracting the swipe to cancel the action, it still registers as an upvote.

App to create custom share actions? (self.askandroid)
 

Is there an app to create a custom action in the sharesheet? I want to create an action that takes a link or some text and transforms it into a new URL. For example, I highlight some text, click share, click Search with (custom search engine), and that action would append the highlighted text to the search engine URL.

Do startups actually use agile/waterfall? (self.cscareerquestions)
 

I've been working at my tech startup for almost a year now and it's been pretty smooth sailing. Everyone does their own thing. You take on a feature in Jira, create a PR, address the revisions, merge and that's done. There's not really a "manager" as we work as a team towards the same goal autonomously.
