If I was still young and ambitious: work on certs and resume building.
Now that I'm old, burned out, and planning to retire (financially ready or not) I primarily work on game prep for my tabletop RPGs hobby.

Smart Tags for us Android peeps. They work well.
I second the Kobo. I've owned 3 different kindles over the years, and I like the Kobo better than any of them.
I haven't purchased anything for a while, but I think Amazon still lets you download your digital album purchases as individual mp3 tracks.

You know you're right, we're nothing like reddit!!
Health insurance company I worked for would automatically reject claims over a certain amount without reviewing them. Just to be dicks and make people have to resubmit. This was over 25 years ago, but it's my understanding many health insurers still pull this shit. They don't care if it's legal or not. Enforcement is lazy and fines are cheaper than medical claims.
Obviously this is in the USA.
Tastes vary widely of course. There is more content now than ever, and the majority of content has always been crap. Finding gems has always been a challenge, but they are out there. Some of the best streaming shows I've ever watched in my life are recent ones.
Movies, I don't watch much anymore, but with some effort I can usually find something I enjoy.
Games, I'm older, so don't enjoy them very often, but I had an absolute blast playing some sandbox games on Steam not too long ago. And I had even more fun playing OpenXCom. (Which is a very old game, but it's been updated.)
And there are thousands of great books to read. That's one antidote for short attention spans.
I know Lemmy hates AI, but ChatGPT pretty decent at suggesting titles from all of these forms of entertainment if you tell it your likes and dislikes.
