TIL the word "vamoose" is an Americanization of the Spanish word "vamos" for "let's go".

  • Same with "mosey," I think.

    • Cities: Skylines 2 devs warn players of performance problems: 'we have not achieved the benchmark we targeted'

  • Good thing I upgraded my setup not too long ago. But I'm gonna hold off on the purchase, for a few months anyway. Wait out the first few patches and mods that will truly push the game to the next level. I like the things I've seen and trust in their long term commitment to the game but experience tells me it's not going to be all it could be straight away.

  • Thank you for your response, but I was thinking more about the desktop implementations. Resolution is fine on my phone but I would like to max out my 37" WQHD screen.

    • Google Maps partners with TfL to prioritize safer cycling routes in London

  • That's a great change which I would love to see implemented everywhere. I just hate having to bike near heavy traffic.

    • What are your morning routines and reset routines?

    Jump

  • I don't have a morning routine (although I probably should have one) but setting an alarm and getting up when it sounds is working quite well for me. To reset my brain, I take naps. Sometimes several a day, although they are mostly short (30min). Here, too, setting an alarm helps.

  • Thank you all for the great suggestions. I've been using NewPipe on my phone for a while now. Do any of these YT alternatives come with support for 1440p resolution? I noticed Invidious is capped at 1080p and sometimes struggles to maintain a stable nitrate at high resolution.

  • Not enough Comic Sans.

    • Do you interact more in Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Same here. Never could be bothered to make an account on Reddit in all my years of lurking there, but here I am.

    • I'd like to find documentaries that are stylistically very different than the apparent norm.

    Jump

  • The documentaries by Frederick Wiseman are very good if somewhat old now. But he had this extremely "neutral" style where it always seemed as though he was just showing things as they were, without even commenting on them. I liked the one about the hospital best, but Blind was also quite good. Otherwise, if you can stomach serious subjects, Claude Lanzmann's hours-long Shoah is one of the most poignant and simultaneously "dry" documentaries I have ever seen. Or so I remember; it's been a while.
