Reddit has an Al now?

Ok, fits the enshitification I previously observed while still being active there.

Well, I first have to find a way out of this invisible, soundproof class cage somehow...

No, that's just blocking with a twist.
Better do something that is not connected to the device you long to use, at all.

Chance to get addicted to something useful at least!
Two of my substitute actions:
Doing a short lesson on Duolingo or standing up for a minute, juggling.

Blocking doesn't work. I nonetheless tried that with other addictive stuff. Naturally unsuccessful.

Better way is to find a positive substitute action you do each time you feel the urge to open youtube.
Retrains your brain.

As it should have!
It is more of a satire grounded in present reality.

It's not only that.
I have the feeling that US mainstream media style is replicated in the comments, aimed at maximizing polarized drama instead of having balanced and grounded discussions.
I can't stand that type of talk.

IDK what you mean?

This word is perfection!

One of the first things I realized I had to do after joining Lemmy, was blocking some "politics@..." communities (and some people active there)

Completely unbearable.

Rest of Lemmy then turned out to be totally fine and enjoyable folks!

That's essentially a perfect anti-meme.
I love it!

New legislation also adds power rating labels for cables

Finally!
Buying cables is a total gamble at the moment. Doesn't even correlate to price point.

The article focuses mainly on the renters. But increasing prices are also bad for most owners.
It gets harder to become an owner in the first place.
And if you already are, price increase of the house you live in is just a book value, while some running costs like insurance rates scale with this value.

It is a loose-loose scenario except for the very wealthy that use houses as speculative investments.
