Are you my 30’s?

Thanks for the reply and info! I’m excited to hear links are being considered. I’ll keep an eye on it. Best of luck!

Yup. “Capitalism values only what it can count, and it can only count dollars. Every capitalist wants to invest as little and profit as much as possible.”

Kudos on the release! And respect for using codeberg.

I’m always on the lookout for a FOSS replacement to my biggest proprietary dependency, Obsidian (some exist, but too many tradeoffs so far). I didn’t see any mention of wiki-style links, is that out of scope? I imagine the encryption makes it complicated.

Also, on the dev side, how has your experience with Tauri been? Have you tinkered with any other rust frameworks? How have you found their documentation?

If someone I just met uses my name regularly I feel like they’re trying to sell me something.

I’ve heard cannabis described as a multiplier and I’ve found that to be true. For me it makes allows me to notice what I’m feeling more (physically and emotionally), food tastes better, I write more, my mood seems elevated, but it has it’s downsides. Around people and in public my anxiety is much higher and like others, my executive functioning and memory gets worse.

I also find my thoughts feel more “linear,” in a way: slower and easier to trace how one thought led to the next (if I’m able to hang onto that thread). It’s easier to observe my thoughts. If I have one thing to sit down and focus on, it’s fantastic. If I’m interacting with a lot of people and having to task switch a lot, it’s a nightmare. Again, that multiplier effect, as I’m quite introverted.

I also don’t get tired from cannabis. I can’t do sativa. Too much anxiety. I go for heavy indicas and even that can light up my brain. If I’m in a space (physical and mental) where I can relax, it can occasionally help. I go for edibles, usually 1:1 THC:CBD; 5mg of THC. I use about once a week in the evening when I have a project I’d like to spend time with and I won’t be bothered.

I was doing that 3 days a week at times. I took a 4 month break while I started my medication for ADHD. Started back up recently. Honestly, I think the cannabis might have a better overall impact. Correcting more data, but I might need to change my meds.

“This isn’t a business. I’ve always thought of it more of a source of cheap labour, like a family.”

December vibes. More places should just take the month off. Surely the data shows how unproductive most are. Now’s the time to get cozy and rest.

This is a great idea and I was excited until I remembered how hard it is to think deeply while my anxious mind tries to register everything around it.

Even in death they’d be causing sea levels to rise.

They define them in 43.21(7), albeit, still quite loosely:

(7) “Obscene device” means a device including a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.

So maybe a devices like the magic wand is in the clear since it’s marketed as a massager. I wonder if a vibrator could simply be repackaged and marketed as a massager, as well.

I think about this often-- followed by Homer Simpson’s voice saying, “Better say something or they’ll think you’re stupid.”

right? holy jpeg artifacts! Is this the record holder for “longest chain of screenshots-of-a-screenshot”?

I’m with you. Another perk is a sense of where you are on the planet. If I get up with the sunrise at 22:00 somewhere, then travel somewhere the sun rises around 18:00, it’s obvious the sun is hitting this part of the planet sooner.

If UTC were widely adopted, it’d be interesting to see what employers near time zones would do. EG start work at 19:00 or 20:00? 19:30? Flex-time with mandatory core hours from 22:00 to 02:00? Maybe I’m over optimistic, but it seems like it would encourage more flexible work hours.

For the curious, this is called the windshield phenomenon.

Dang, that’s rough. I’m glad things turned around. Speaking to my own psychology: It’s easy to internalize a string of bad luck. Then when other people go through it-- whether in group therapy, a global pandemic, or a massive recession-- it shows how random or circumstantial life and luck can be. It helped me internalize it less and get out of my own way.

I was unemployed, isolated, and anosmic-- then covid hit and I was like, “hey everyone, welcome to the club! Yes, it does suck but at least now there’s people to empathize with.”

It’s available to whoever is willing to pay. Consent is given when users agree to privacy policies and ToS. Unfortunately, unless you’re in the EU, it’s legal, and when companies violate permissive laws or suffer a data breach, the penalties are often inconsequential. The original comment was vague and didn’t specify the case. In the context of linux users vs MS and Apple, I’m leaning towards a distrust of big tech and “readily available for anyone” being inclusive of a multibillion dollar ad industry and the ecosystems developed around it. Though, technically not anyone can access every piece, so I guess we could dismiss it as a thing of the past.
