I doom scrolling Flathub

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think that’s just regular scrolling.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomscrolling (emphasis mine):
Maybe but I did scroll and install/testing softwares for 3 hours, I also learn how to compile simpler software from sources that don't have any build instruction because some of the stuff I found only available on flathub. There's a few vibe coded softwares too despite Flathub banning ai generated code
I mean, you found useful software and learned something new? I'd call it nascency scrolling or smth
I mean I find useful information on TikTok too but I would still call it doomscrolling
I think the meaning has shifted a bit (at least from my experience) to basically mean "spending an excessive amount of time on some digital content (usually rapidly switching from one piece to another)".
Of course this depends on the person I'm talking with but it seems to me that a lot of people are using it as I described above.
So Lemmy?
It's doomscrolling if you're a fan of appimages and static binaries like myself
