I love Jellyfin, though it often struggles with subtitles embedded in the container. They are recognized, but it fails to load them. If I retry it two-three times, it usually manages to do that.

Also, recently discovered it has plugins too, like syncing status with Trakt.

So you exclusively used GDScript? I find myself kind of on the edge of trying it out. I have experience with C#, so just wondering if it would be worth it.

I think it's universal. And not always in a consciously aware way. It seems natural to try to raise your kids the way you were raised (if that formed a good image in your head), or to try to do the complete opposite (if that left a bad image in your head). And both can go to very extremes.

In my case (I'm from northern-eastern EU), my mom was very overprotective and over caring as well. With the years, I realized that, and was trying to "ignore" it as much as possible. However, she didn't really see my "ungratefulness", and was continuing all the same. Me being a shy kid, and having this level of care, had a big influence on my independence/self-confidence. I stayed at my parents until 28. This was last year. For the past year I was having angrier thoughts, bad thoughts sometimes. I finally mustered the courage and got my own place in another city. My mom was pretty sad with this, and was rather asking me to get a bigger house where we could live together more spaciously (we lived in a smallish flat). I thought she's joking, but she was not, she would even send me house listing ads. Anyways, this decision was the greatest thing so far in my life. I've been on my own for over a year now, learning the ropes of being a self-sustainable adult.

I never miss my parents. I do visit them once a month for a few hours. Recently, I've talked with my mom about how her behavior was only pushing me away all these years. The good thing, I guess, is that she understood. We cried a bit together. Her reasoning was that she didn't have much attention as a kid - her mom was always working. So she tried to recoup that with her kids. I told that it's the opposite of what I needed, and now I feel very little emotions towards her. I guess I could've told that sooner too. But better now than never.

A bit related - do you ever go from PR comments to DMs? Sometimes when discussions are needed, it feels much easier to just chat 1 on 1. Especially if it's a small team and everyone's close. Though that prevents others from experiencing the "interaction".

What about clarifications? In a sense when you're not sure if this is good code, and would need to get more details. I sometimes just ask directly ("Why is this there?"/"What does this do?"), but other times I just don't bother and let others review.

In my country (Lithuania, EU), the severance is governed by law, I think the minimal value is 1 month's pay, and the minimum scales with the years you have worked. From my past workplace, all of us were laid off last year. Severances ranged from 1 to 4 months I believe, nobody complained. But I'd say the situation is that you don't think about it, as even in the worst case, finding a new place is easy, so it feels more like a unexpected "bonus". But some companies might try to talk you into making "deals" where you sign a document saying you quit voluntarily. These are usually done with social pressure and don't provide any benefits.

I startedd to feel something like that too, basically a few weeks from the quarantine. The thing is, I actually thought I would like being closed up, because I'm pretty introverted and don't mind staying at home after work. However, the last couple of years I've started going out more, meeting new people, and trying various activities, which really opened up my view and felt good. But I didn't imagine that cutting these things off would affect me that much. Now I don't even want to work, don't want to play games either, can hardly force myself to watch a movie too. That subtle "background sadness" is a pretty accurate description.

I really liked HeidiSQL when I was working on Windows, but after switching to Linux I struggled to find anything with similar UI and workflow. DataGrip was a really nice discovery, though I still haven't gotten fully comfortable with the UI, it's quite a bit more complex.

Polished as in having a more "modern"/user friendly UI? I'd say the UI is the least important part of a password manager. Especially if you use an extension for autofilling/autosaving, you barely ever see it.

Anyways, there is a more stylish web UI for Keepass: https://keeweb.info/

That's me as well. I've used Pocket since it was called Read It Later and probably have opened my saved list only a handful of times.

What I've started using some time ago, though, is Reread.io – it sends you emails containing random articles from your saved list, on specified intervals. I have it set up to send me a couple each week, that way it doesn't feel "forced", and better than having them forever forgotten.
