I don't watch much YouTube, but I do heartily recommend Georg Rockall-Schmidt
Depressing politics/economics, but in a sarcastic, humourous, ironic, meta, Pratchett/Adams sort of way

I've always had a sort of low-level hatred and appreciation for LaTeX. I've been thinking recently it would be cool to just write maths in plain-text, I've even made some diagrams and whatnot with ASCII.
Turns out Plan9 has some hotkeys for unicode stuff, including some maths symbols!

I have become an expert at setting up Firefox. My procedure is:
- Remove all the random stuff from the toolbar (i.e., profile, spacer)
- Remove all the spam from the home screen
- Add English GB to the languages
- Disable smooth scroll, video controls, and "recommend crap as you browse"
- Enable autoscroll
- Privacy on strict, "Do Not Track"
- Block all requests for notifications
- Disable data collection
- Install UBlock Origin (and unpin from toolbar)
- Use DuckDuckGo, kill Bing

You are intelligent. The fact that you have made it this far is, by any conceivable metric, proof of your intelligence. There is no reason to believe that you will suddenly become "not intelligent". The human brain is essentially unlimited. You can always make more synapses, more pathways, more knowledge. We, as a species, have comically massive heads. That's a lot of room for the little grey cells
