A lot of UI/UX changes of recent years have been geared toward simplifying interfaces for touchscreens. Bigger and bigger buttons for big hands. Can I get the opposite? Changes that utilize the precise movement of a mouse cursor more?

    It was alright. Great art, but the pacing made it very hard to follow.

    My first exposure to GITS was through Stand Alone Complex. I don't think anything's gonna change my mind on which adaption I prefer at this point.

    Reddit's what got me into RSS in the first place. Adding different subs to my reader let me go through posts on my own terms instead of relying on refreshing browser tabs. These days Reddit is dead to me because their feeds are rate-limited to the point where they're unusable.

    That's why I switched to Lemmy doing more or less the same. Feeds organized into folders, filtered and tagged in my reader which I usually just check once a day.

    I also self-host RSSHub to generate feeds for sites that don't provide them.

    Basically I treat my RSS reader as a web browser. I get everything web-related through it, only opening Firefox for quick searches or to find new feeds. It helps that I use Thunderbird as my RSS reader, so I get email and feeds all in the same place. I also have it configured to open links with different applications so I can open media links directly with yt-dlp, gallery-dl, etc...

    I already download all my media so I have offline access.

    I'm honestly sick of social media. I mainly just view it as a news source, only commenting on Reddit Lemmy threads because its convenient to do so.

    How is #4 going to work if I use Linux on my primary devices?

    This seems simultaneously overkill and extremely minimalist at the same time.

    Firefox can open videos, but if I try to skip ahead on a HEVC encode I only get audio and there's performance issues in general. Also no way to change audio tracks and no subtitles.

    I subscribe to enough channels through RSS to the point where I have too many videos to watch, honestly. Just by paying attention to other people's recommendations through threads like this, videos friends send me, crossover videos between channels, and looking at the channels featured by the channels I already watch was enough to get my feeds to their current state.

    KBash and Jason Graves are my current favorites. Highly recommended if you're interested in video essays on retro and obscure video games.
