  • What Keeps you up at night?

    Jump

  • Mostly economic/health anxiety. I live in a country with no safety nets and barely make a living. I already have health issues so I'm afraid if things get worse I won't be able to afford to get healthcare. But I tried lately to have a healthier lifestyle and it's helping a bit with the anxiety

  • What are little/big things you do that make you feel pride everyday?

    Jump

  • The past few years I've been struggling a lot and isolating myself. I sometimes spent weeks without even going outside and developed intense social anxiety. A little over a month ago I had a health scare where my diabetes meds weren't working anymore and blood sugar got so high I had to go to the hospital. After that I totally changed my lifestyle and started going for long walks everyday and doing some workout at home. My mental health is much better and my blood sugar level dropped to a normal level. I feel more energy and stamina than I did in years. It did take a health crisis, but I'm proud I made such a change. I wouldn't have thought it possible few months ago.

  • Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys.

    Jump

  • Damn I can't believe people have this and don't take advantage of it. As someone who lives in a developing country, even in a big city we don't have the concept of a public library. I can't even find books I want anywhere and shipping costs more than the book itself, which is huge if you factor in the difference in currency. I just read digital books now but it's tricky especially for complex philosophical books where you want to go back and forth. Paper books make engaging with complex books easier.

  • This is not a good look for brave.

    Jump

  • I don't use Brave but did you take this screenshot or find it somewhere? I can't find this "tag line" when searching for Brave in the Playstore.

  • Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Bluesky is more similar to Twitter and has what most people were used to, like an algorithm, quote tweets, etc I found it extremely boring, but tbh it's a more polished experience. One of my biggest annoyances with Mastodon is how threads and replies look weird. Sometimes I see the reply to a post before I see the post, especially in the "lists" view. Also not having an algorithm is both good and bad. It's great because it's organic, but it also means many posts get buried and it's dependent on the time. As someone not living in the US and Europe, it's tricky because sometimes you'll post something when most people are asleep and no one will see it. I ultimately love Mastodon more because of the openness and the federation. But most people will find Bluesky more approachable

  • So many questions, so much headache

    Jump

  • What is the filesystem in that hard drive? I've used Calibre with multiple installs of different distros and never had any issues with it reading my library.

  • Kindle's screen is partially frozen with the screensaver, the rest of the screen works normally. Already reset it and factory reset it, does anyone know if I can save it somehow?

    Jump

  • it happened to me before and I ordered a replacement screen and paid a guy to replace it.

  • Is there a better way to browse man pages?

    Jump

  • Still waiting for someone to create Woman

  • Do you use Pocket or other Read Later App?

    Jump

  • I self-host Wallabag

  • Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects?

    Jump

  • I wish I could donate to many software projects I rely on regularly. Unfortunately I barely make a living now and being in a developing country makes donations hard to do with all the fees and regulations, as well as the difference in currency (1 dollar is 7-ish of our currency). I still feel guilty about not being able to do that. But maybe in the future I'll be able assuage that guilt. I am learning how to code though and can already make some things. I'll look into contributing code when I feel I can do that.
