i wonder why big operating systems like Debian-derivatives are used instead of smaller ones like TinyCore linux. smaller codebase ought to be simpler to maintain completely?

adding this litterature next to Martin Luther King for my re-take on christianity as something good.

i feel you! though not for relationships, in fact it's principally discouraged (i moved off the website and met my long-distance girlfriend here however) the open-source "chat with random people" website mero.chat is a curated space for all people that are lonely!

explicit awareness and pro-active curation has fostered a really wonderful community. i highly encourage you to chat with some people on mero.chat and just see if you feel less lonely =)

that's the good part of my comment. the bad part is i felt like you did for years, it's alot and i feel you. there's guaranteed to be people just like you feeling just as isolated- so glad to see you post about this because of that!

i haven't started but my grandpa told me about making a fridge without electricity, like houses here used to have before electricity & cars came during the middle of the 1900-hundreds.

the concept is a large pipe going between the fridge-room, deeper below the ground and out several meters away from it, then up into the air in a stand-alone chimney. insect-nets on both sides of the pipe.

concept is: when the air is hot the earth deeper below cool. air that travels through the pipe turns cool and flows into the space.

i just use Wick editor for mindmaps

i'm growing legumes of all kinds. thankful to grow, good for the soil, good for protein. a field of food-grade hemp also binds more CO² than a forest! ask me to share sources and yap on about it and i will lol

swedish socialist childrens cartoons. also the soviet ones. those show collective competence and revolutionary optimism. finding others who get what these cartoons are all about.

all i come to think of from the top of my head, ask for more and i will gladly look further~
also ask for translations and i will translate subtitles. DMs open, i read & reply to every message. enjoy my scandinavian cultural heritage <3 they're for all to find comfort in

further help;

• looking at social media and stuff skews perception into doomerism, staying with LGBTQIA+ friends and watching movies & series such as i've listed cheers you all up. anyone who doesn't have anyone to watch with is welcome to watch with me: i can stream and chat all day, every day, since i'm on sickleave indefinitively. (note that i am a really autistic transgal and yap alot)
• curated posts like sticking to PieFed.social and PeerTube instances etc. help stave off doomerism.
• blue light itself lowers serotonin, the hormone which makes us feel meaningfulness, also numbs negative emotions.. makes it disorderly when negative emotions return.. which become overwhelming.
  ask for sources on screen use, i won't write more on that pre-emptively since it's a laundry list of sources (i made a lil space for it 'c/screen_addiction')
• Mero.Chat is a curated "meet random strangers" website, i met another transgal who became my girlfriend there just earlier this week (raised both of our mental health to max that's for sure!!!) it's non-profit, free libre open source, takes a decisive stance against creepy strangers online. flirty chats are principally not allowed (me and my girlfriend moved to Signal and DeltaChat instead (also free libre open source), the latter has mini-games in-chat! lovely for long-distance to play mini-games while chatting TvT~)

did you take these pictures, OP?

who is that?
edit: looking through these https://zed.dev/team
okay.

it's not out of necessity- but enjoyment =)

edit: i see how this can come off as contradictory, as i went with your word of 'need' in my first reply. it may seem counter-intuitive but ne needs enjoyment too. just following necessity is not feasable.

i for one need to see the (whatever you just called them??) so we're -1+1 now, Ruaidhrigh >=)

i hope BoP does more of this! never encountered them before

this is just the kinda stuff i wanna learn in just the low-affect and lowkey hyperfixated way i wanna come across it

damn i'm so glad for finding this public educator, thanks!
