I feel very broken, useless, pathetic, inadequate.

I feel like a burden, undeserving of help.

I feel... the others are doing ok, why do I struggle so much? Why would I feel my struggles are "more important" than Joe NT Smoe being exhausted after work?

I'm so brilliant, I have a high IQ - but can't do basic shit?! wtf!

Just... a lot of negative headspace around what I'm struggling so much with.

😭

I’m still not over the denial of reality by large swaths of society. It still gets to me.

I just totally noticed this because I reinstalled Linux and I got my Nostr browser extension set up with 3 npubs in about 2 minutes and could immediately log into all my apps (like GitWorkshop and Nostrudel) and just start working and then I had to setup Slack, Thunderbird, and GitHub and it be like *inner groan*.

That shit's so fucking annoying. Excuse my French, but fr.

If your product needs third-party accessories, your product design sucks.

why they're all made of the slippiest glass going is beyond me. I suspect it's deliberate to stimulate sales after accidental drops.

People wouldn't need to buy cases if the outer components of each phone were easily and cheaply replaceable anywhere.

Cases are the proof of a product design flaw.

Cloud doc there’s probably lots of options whatever works, open source anything?

GrapheneOS devs claim when airplane mode is on, all the radios on the device are dead. People make use of this to try to stay as anonymous as possible by only connecting through Tor and WiFi spots. I would imagine this should apply to all Android devices, but I wouldn't count on it with an extreme threat model... Recommend researching yourself on a device an OS basis. The baseband rabbit hole is quite wild.

SimpleX uses a relay server model with no metadata including user identifiers. Self-hosting is possible, but not necessarily beneficial for privacy imo. Tor is well supported. Read the website, it's all pretty well explained there.

The app does still need some polish for mainstream appeal though, but it's getting there... Beating the network effect will of course be the biggest hurdle, but it's the messenger with the most potential for such that I've seen so far.

any actual food scientists here?

curious about this claim here nostr:note155skj62pff3mrpd8twuk28pufvzw8phx3y7pgnm2pd2zcdl6rmtsummlxe

TIL what imaginary numbers are

or aren't

yes

Can you guess that?🫠

I think like LIV said it's difficult to discuss this in a thread

I think democracy is a scam, I think it's backed by dictatorship, and therefore dictatorship is reality and we should just be open and honest about it
