I feel like I've said this before, but I want a social media feature where you can temporarily suspend yourself. This would be to help you self control internet addiction.

The idea is, you have an option to suspend your account for X days, and as soon as you click apply, it would log you off, and any attempt to log back on, would just give a message "you still need to wait X time until you can use your account again". Until the time expires, at most you could look around in your settings, but you can't view the timeline, you can't post, you can't search for posts etc.

This would be useful, because even the worst addict will have temporary moments of clarity, where he could think straight for a few minutes, and gather enough willpower to enact such a measure.

The only alternative right now would basically be to completely delete the account, which is far too drastic for most people. I think it would be much easier for someone to suspend their own accounts, to give themselves some away time, knowing that everything they had on it wouldn't be lost forever to them.

When I think of RTX, I instinctually want to jokingly associate it with a game who's main thing is NOT having realistic or fancy graphics, to emphasize how shallow the push for it is. But then I remember Minecraft RTX is a thing, and I feel like I'm stuck in a world were satire became reality. I can't even use retro games anymore to make my point, because Quake 1 RTX is getting released now.

What even is this timeline?

I think recently Linus has managed to find things even more petty than 1st world issues to complain about, and it's starting to annoy me ever so slightly.

@Gronsak As a Canadian, I am legally allowed to tell anyone to kill themselves at any time. It's not bullying, it's not hate speech, it's not cruelty - it's literally just telling them to seek medical treatment for their illnesses

Unpopular opinion:
Saying "Hitler did nothing wrong" is not that edgy anymore. You should be saying "Biden did nothing wrong" to actually be edgy and get offended reactions.

I've been pushing my brain to come up with a ridiculous phony audiophile product idea. It seemed like everything was taken already. And it just hit me. Why not an audiophile screen? We're used to gaming monitors, why not an audiophile one.
Now I just need to think how I can advertise a better screen improving audio quality.
