Lock screen

Home screen (i applied a black tint since i had trouble reading white text against it)

I got them from lurking r/wallpaper though I wish i knew more of their original sources

Agreed. First LMG needs to clean house to make it a mentally safe work environment so there is never a repeat of Madison’s case … cause wtf. Second, an apology to Billet Labs … cause wtf. Third, they need to slow down the pace of work so the employees can focus on quality and accuracy.

The rate at which they pump out content is, in my opinion, unsustainable for the employees and unsustainable for the semi-regular viewer as well

I’ve noticed my recommendations have largely stopped showing me LTT videos over the past several months, probably because youtube recognizes that im not watching a large % of their videos, so why would youtube recommend the next one? i feel like their pace is thinning out their semi-regular viewers and leaving a highly devout community. To me, the semi-regulars are what add balance to the community rather than it becoming an echo chamber.

I think by slowing down, LTT will be in a much healthier happier place in the long term, even if the numbers don’t obviously show it. That said, idk if I can see their videos in the same light knowing what’s happened behind the curtains. I think for rn, that might be it for me.

There’s not enough symbols on my keyboard and I want to type ¢ © ÷, so let’s invent a system so we can write them and other symbols!

1. lets say & means start of code
2. and say ; means end of code
3. Between the start and end is the code

Now let’s make some codes

• ¢ can be ¢
• © can be ©
• ÷ can be ÷

I want to tell other people how to use our new code, but if I tell them to “just write ÷” it’ll turn my message into “just write ÷” !! So how can we fix this?

What if we make & its own code?

• & —> &
• ÷ —> ÷ ???

Yes! That’ll work :)

This is how & came to be, and it’s specifically used in HTML as a way to write those symbols above (and escape other a few other symbols for similar reasons we did with &)

As for why & shows up as &, there are 2 main places I can see this happening:

1. The editor you use to write it automatically converts an & —> &. But the user typed in & (making it &). I think this is most likely. I’m guessing the title of posts automatically do the conversion, but the post body and comments do not because it uses a raw markdown editor
2. In some contexts the & specifically doesn’t get converted? like how you can write `&` to get & as opposed to seeing ＆
