6 Days,
Life So Far Without Personalized Feeds
This has been a week. I haven't had constant exercise or sleep for this week, and as such I feel kinda like crap. I have wasted the same amount of time, but this time it is all concentrated on Deadlock (a video game) instead of scrolling. I enjoy this much more, even if it is the same amount of stimulating. At least I get to use my head. But that being said, I also feel good. Today I have been really enjoying walking and thinking even if earlier this week I was ignoring my thoughts. I enjoy the silence today. I don't know if that is just from being off of personalized feeds.
I Need a Better Name for This
I am starting to realize personalized feeds are a bad name for what I am doing. I still look at my YouTube subscriptions because they are stuff I actually care about and same with my RSS. I don't think calling the bad ones algorithmically generated helps either because the one for bear blog is not personalized and I find it beneficial to interact with. I think the biggest problem is the combination of the both, but I think that personal algorithmic feeds sounds bad. I would like it to be a bit catchier. Perhaps P.A.F could suffice. If you have any ideas of what I could call it please email me. neighborezekiel@gmail.com
How It Is Going
Of course, this has not been a perfect week. For example, unhook does its best, but sometimes when I launch the browser and YT is open, the home feed gets shown. I don't generally look at those, so I am fine there. The big thing though is that at the end of videos, it shows 3 other ones I could watch. Unhook failed at getting rid of those. Perhaps I just need an update for it. I watched a couple of videos on those too.
I need to figure out how to make windows go black and white after 11pm. I think I would get to bed on time more often if I did that.
