One thing arduinos don't do is things which require a GPU. So if you have a project which you want to output to a display but you also want it very low powered, because it e.g. runs 24/7, a PI is IMO the best device. Something like a Home Assistant dashboard display or a DIY smart mirror for example.

The killer feature from magit which this seems to be missing is the ability to stage only a specific part of a hunk. When I make a bigger change and want to split it into different commits, magit is simply the best way to achieve this quickly. Other than that it looks great.

To me at least the sponsorblock extension is completely ethical when you are using youtube premium. The creators get paid extra for a premium view anyway, plus I don't think advertisers for in video ads pay per view of that segment (if there are even tools to detect that metric) or anything like that so you're not even hurting the creator. But I agree that something built in by youtube for premium users would be nicer. Would get youtube more premium users too I think because I was e.g. initially hesitent too of buying premium because I knew I would still be getting in video sponsors.

Feel like an idiot for at first thinking that the seconds were WAY too long. Only after a while I realized that every jump equals 5 seconds.

I don't know if you are interested in this, but for anyone who wants the audio quality of wired headphones while also using bluetooth, I can highly recommend a bluetooth DAC, like the Qudelix 5k[1]. It has excellent audio quality and their app is quite nice and allows for some very in depth customization.

A TL;DR from one of the founders on godot's subreddit:

New company independent from Godot, funded by venture capital (so has enough money to build products until it can actually make money).

This company will build products and propose services which are yet to be announced - there's a hint that one product will be console ports.

This company will provide funding to the Godot project so more contributors can be hired, and will also donate its own employees' work time for significant contributions to Godot (we'll soon announce some).

But as importantly, it will provide the level of commercial support that bigger studios need to be able to switch to Godot.

What I find most sad about this is that LG appears to be the only manufacturer who makes phones with both wireless charging and a headphone jack. Somehow these features seem to contradict themselfs for other manufacturers. Wireless charging is seen as a premium feature, while headphone jack is seen as a budget feature. I unfortunately have gotten so used to both that I don't want to give them up. I love my wired headphones and my phone is pretty much always at 80% (Battery limiter) since it always charges when I'm at my desk. Right now I don't see a reason to upgrade my V30 but when that time comes I hope someone makes a similar phone (my biggest hope is Sony as they at least appear to be interested in headphones, now they just need to add wireless charging)
