Took me a minute to realize this is about human behaviour and not actual programming.

I would probably say not needing to fill a social ‘need’ to be sane in life. I enjoy my time alone more than with others.

You go to sleep and you never wake up.

Instances removing downvotes is the same as YouTube hiding downvotes on videos and comments: It doesn’t help viewers, just protects the poster.

I wouldn’t want to be a part of such instance.

Planet Crafter. I may have hyper-fixated on it for a good few weeks to finish it. I don’t know why, but it was very addicting to me.

2 random words i thought of many years ago.

Probably not, unless something major happens.

ffmpeg. It can extract video streams, audio, images. It can encode and decode video and audio, can split video files by chapters, can encode subtitles, etc.

Livestreams of installing Linux and ricing the desktop. It’s like c/unixporn but longer and better. The buildup into the final result would be way more satisfying than just a still image.

I never open Windows regardless of season.

I like the fresh scent of Mint in my house instead.

Lurk first, then respond. You might find more context in the replies.

A nice, cold, cloudy day is what I enjoy. Bonus points for rain or snow. I can’t stand the heat or sunny days: too bright.
