I like trains.

Whats that icon pack? I really like the obsidian and firefox icons

Currently learning dutch through Memrise on my phone and spaced repetition on obsidian.

Its slow going due to being swamped in school work. But i’ve found it more effective than my highschool french class ever was.

Dang most of these resemble my old reddit favourites.

I could never get into Thunderbird. It would always crash out from the shear quanitity of old emails in each of my accounts.

/Factorio

The instant I’m out of school im deleting my windows install. I also have the sleep mode being useless because windows just wakes up sporadically.

I practice polyphasic sleep and reducing blue light is pretty important there to avoid messing your circadian rhythm.

The community recomends wearing the orange laser protection glasses, the same ones laser cutter operators use. Because that’s what glasses actually have to look like to filter blue light.

Oh that’s me. I’m tired and bored so I’ll share my story.

I was “depressed” because of working an abusive toxic job and commuting 2 hours a day for dimes. While at the same time spending my free time in the doomerism of r/fvckcars

Filled out the doctor’s questionaire and was diagonised with anxiety, and depression. I even had the bottle of pills before the hour was even over.

Lost the job, and swapped my pass-time from pessimistic r/fvckcars to more optimistics YouTube/notjustbikes

No more depression, never needed those anti-depressants because it was never a proper chemical depression.

To many doctors just want to medicate the symptoms and never bother to consider the sickness underneath.

Not OC, but some ways to “reduce consumption” are reducing our usage of inefficient technology by replacing it with more energy/resource efficient means.

Examples include replacing individual automobiles with mass transit, building more dense cities to reduce consumption of construction materials/ vehicle miles, and not training massively large language models in facilities that consume more energy than an entire small country.

Apple is highly restrictive on their OS and over priced. They are extremely pro consumerism with heavy marketing and engineered obsolescence to ensure you are always pressured to buy their new tech, and they are historically very strongly anti-right-to-repair.

Microsoft is bad. But at least they are primarily a software monopoly.

I’d probably spend my time learning IT, computer hardware specs and maybe networking.

Maybe build a private file sharing | streaming service for my apartment, and start a website blog.

Perhaps also persue digital art and finally learn how to use vectors.

Maybe also make a YouTube channel and spend my time educating others.

But alas, im bound by my need for an income and will spend the next few years trying to persists as a (almost) new mechanical engineer bachelor.

Not too bad. It was 4.5$ for one of those smallish bottles last I checked.

Oh the reference. That was my introduction to minecraft mods. Better than wolves was so good for the time. I miss the feel of the early modding scene.

Trying to learn a new language and my friends keep recomeneding duolingo. But my zero tolerance for ads makes Duolingo dead on arrival.

Slurp + grim.

Cool something similar happens with my 4a. Googles phones are so reliable.

Okay, I assumed you didn’t as most of the video was centred on the player, and day/night were cycling.

Still not bad for a first timelapse. Keep it up!
