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

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.

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

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.

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

Still waiting for someone to create Woman

I self-host Wallabag

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.
