Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore.

Republican politicians have used the conspiracy theory to discredit the Democrats, falsely accusing them of inviting migrants to the country who would then give the Democratic Party an electoral edge.
List of proponents: Elon Musk.

Practicing touch typing.
I don’t know how many times I’ve absent-mindedly “strummed” my fingers by tapping out “This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a test. In the event of a real emergency…”, a TV memory from my childhood.
When I first learned touch typing, I did consciously practice this way. ASDF, JKL;. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Chisanbop or chisenbop (from Korean chi (ji) finger + sanpŏp (sanbeop) calculation 지산법/指算法), sometimes called Fingermath, is a finger counting method used to perform basic mathematical operations.
You might be already doing this. If you strum your fingers of your right hand by pressing your index, middle, ring, and pinky to your desktop, and then do the same thing again starting with your thumb, you’ve just counted from 0 to 9. Do the same on your left hand and you’ve gone from 00 to 90. It’s really easy to do simple math this way by counting on your fingers.
For stimming purposes, you might just start by counting up or counting down, then maybe counting up by twos or counting down by threes.
This is the approach that I’ve known for many decades now. I’ve seen YouTube videos of kids doing amazing fast calculations like multiplying large numbers using what looks like a different method in that their hands are in the air. I’ll leave it to you to Google the other approaches if this direction interests you.
That fixed the problem, yes. I discovered it when I tried to toggle and save that setting and was told there was trouble saving to my account.
Here’s my additional feature request:
Allow me to scroll until all posts are read.
I assume that this would be accomplished by letting me scroll past the last post.
If you felt uncomfortable about the empty screen (I don’t), you could add some simple background effect or even a dummy “you’ve reached the end of the internet” post or two.
Context: I don’t want to be scrolling Lemmy all day. I want to be able to view the top posts of the day, scroll through them, get to the end, and know it’s time to stop. If I open Boost again later, I don’t want to see anything that I’ve seen before.

As I scroll, the posts I scroll past are dimmed, based on the dimming setting.
But they are still there.
Even after a refresh.
My account setting has Show Read Posts disabled, and that’s been working for some time in other Lemmy apps.
Yes, please. I need to be able to get to the end of the internet. I don’t want to keep looking at the same posts over and over.
Wait, is that what Top Day does?
I want to use Boost like a feed reader where I can get to the end of the feed and be done. In a feed reader, I can set a limit in the RSS URL. I’ve been trying to use Feedly with Lemmy feeds. The limits work but the display of graphics is inferior.
Anywhere, yes, it would be great to limit Lemmy feeds to a certain number of items, or a certain time period like posted in the last day.
Combine this with scrolling past marks posts as read and read posts are hidden and then I can finally clear my inbox … reach the end of the internet.
Yes. I came to this community just to make this request.
It’s a feature of Feedly that guides me towards using Feedly as a Lemmy RSS reader. I want to be able to scroll through what’s new on the internet and be done, not seeing the same items again.
Yes, thanks. I have found that. But a long press doesn’t save a lot of time over a short click. I’m looking to scroll right by.
