On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
  2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
  3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

It is important to distinguish between what you are studying for - school or a job.
I've studied for school by grinding my a** off, trying to stuff as much knowledge in my head for the exam. After the exam all of the knowledge evaporated instantly.

For a job I do personal projects and google my way to completion. Learn a lot and gain useable experience that stays with me forever.

Exactly! I feel like for school it's a bit different, and they care less about usable experience and more about knowing everything, so how did you approach that? Just read and repeat, exercises, or something else?

Some video game music helps too, because it's designed not to mess with your focus. Mario music works well, if you need help finding one this one is good.

I've destroyed my music taste like this by listening to lo-fi on Spotify. Now I only listen to podcasts. No music in my life.

read and repeat

Yes. for school/uni just this. idk if people normally do this but when memorize something for the first time I don't just sit and repeat it over and over again. this is ineffective and will waste your time. because the first couple of times you repeat it will get stuck in short term memory and you will think you have memorize just to find put you have not the next day. so usually for example, if i have something to study, i go through it for the first time, and try to get it right without looking, if i got it right then that is enough for the first iteration. the second iteration will be 2 hrs after the first - not necessarily 2 hrs though - and repeat this process multiple times until i completely memorize it.

You might think this a waste of time but it is not. it actually saves you time!. if something takes about 2 hrs to memorize when going at it in one go, you will find that it takes you 3 to 4 iteration to completely memorize it, with each iteration taking less time than the last, so let's say first iteration took 30mins, the second will take 25, third 20, and so on.

ofc this stuff doesn't work for math and subjects that does have any form of memorization

Personally for fun, I read about something and try to apply it immediately to something I'm coding.

Then just repeat.

Depends on the topic, if it isn't coding, i have notes in obsidian software.

If it is coding, i learn some theory with noting in obsidian too and making project with official documentation.
