it would be nice to have a search engine that intentionally omits or devalues results with a lot of seo

everyone remember that all microsoft software has alternatives that are better, communally developed, and free

the middle one is definitely playing the theremin.

very true; i wonder if it’s related to the rise of public performativity caused by the internet/global real-time communication. if in the past men were primarily performing masculinity and upholding male gender norms for the people around them, while learning masculinity from celebrities and men around them, it seems possible that modern men have formed a new defensive, emotionally suppressive attitude towards performing masculinity on account of the sheer quantity of people they’re now performing for and learning from.

not sure if it’s technically correct to call it a gender norm per se, but the way in which cishet men are conditioned to approach personal relationships with other cishet men in general can be very frustrating. i think it’s sort of a compounding effect of various societal norms regarding what is considered “masculine and respectable” that causes a lot of friendships amongst men, and amongst cishet men especially, to be very shallow and impersonal. relationships like this are often more socially draining than anything else, and it just creates this depressing culture of emotionally illiterate men who only talk to other emotionally illiterate men.

on a personal level, it’s straightforward enough now for me to recognize shallow friendships and to build deeper ones, but i fear that because i grew up within that culture prior to gaining awareness of the patriarchy or the privilege i have in society, i have internalized enough of it that i still haven’t learned to open up enough and be as good of a friend as i want to be.

on android it’s RiMusic, Thunderbird, Firefox, Feeder, Breezy Weather, Showly OSS, PipePipe, and Simple Keyboard. all available on f-droid

i have one of these it’s very reliable and i would use it as a steering device in a properly built submarine

why? protovpn package has been working fine for me on nixos

edit: nevermind, in a server environment you should configure openvpn (i just use protonvpn on my desktop)

Rationalreviews and i’d make 2 or 3 lazy anti-woke video game reviews before permanently pivoting to making only 30-minute-long, barely-edited, and completely impromptu “video essays” centered exclusively around youtube anti-sjw drama.

Detroiters got cancelled after only 2 seasons but is still well worth the watch

i havent played it much but it’s a really cool project, and has definitely come a long way in a few years

I bought some notebooks specifically for this recently, so I’ll see how that goes.

The motivate-by-anxiety tactic of semi-purposefully procrastinating things until I have absolutely no choice but to get them done efficiently is how I (barely) got through high school. These days I generally try to be more proactive and self-motivating and whatnot but my success rate in doing so varies.

Same here for sure. I try to make to-do lists as much as I can because they seem to help keep me on track with things, the only hiccup is that I have not yet succeeded in making a habit out of it, so I most often just forget to make a to-do list until after it would’ve be useful

It would be great if Plasma gets a kiosk mode option some day, that seems right up KDE’s alley as far as the “simple by default, powerful when needed” philosophy goes.

I’m blaming Hexbear.net no matter who wins
