For your own mental health, if an app has a "streak", you should break it at least once a week as a habit.

The longer they get the more unnecessary stress it'll give you.

They use it to drive numbers and cash flow, it's absolutely not a good thing and doesn't benefit you at all.

Drugs prescribed for ADHD, high blood pressure & underactive thyroid all impair our ability to regulate body temperature & cope with heat. Others (including St John’s Wort, not mentioned here) make us more sensitive to sun.

Keep cool & cover up, friends. @actuallyadhd @actuallyautistic

antisemitism on fedi is endlessly frustrating for me as a Jewish fedi admin but it is extremely hard for me to find even a sliver of care for white passing, cis Jews who turn around and are transmisic, misogynistic, and racist when they (validly!) complain about antisemitism on here.

honey, I feel as unwelcome with you as I do with them.

this is why I detest the whole “tribe” thing sometimes. idk.

it’s so condescending to me when I’m having a conflict with a cis Jew over something like transmisia or misogyny and they see it as a “it’s just a fight within the tribe/family” type thing.

To cis Jews: goyische trans people are as much my “family” as you.

It’s complicated and nuanced, but I just get so angry seeing people who I can actually fully understand what they’re going thru re: antisemitism on fedi but then they are like completely trash when it comes to treating women, fems, and/or trans people with respect. It makes me just not even care what they’re going through, to a fault tbh.

Jealous of how cats can just like, flomp over and instantly snooze. Like no big deal. Boom. Nap time.

You know, for the difficulty level I’m playing life on, enemies should really be dropping better loot.

Friday positivity! 😷💖

tbf if someone from mastodon recognised me I don't think it'd go like this. they'd shyly introduce themselves like "hi I'm Amy at shadowgecko.lizards.space but my username is currently '(massive stack of) French Toast In A Trench Coat'" and we'd stand there for 15 minutes cycling through all the avatars they've had over the past 6 months until I understood who they were

Interesting paper about #adblocking that I just found out ​​

Energy Conservation with Open Source Ad Blockers

This study, although preliminary, clearly showed enormous potential for open source ad blockers to reduce consumer time waiting for Internet ads to load as well as the electricity needed to run their computers (and other electronic technologies) during that time. In addition, the externalities (including premature fatalities) associated with fossil-fuel-based electricity spent using computers by eliminating ads during Internet browsing and video streaming would be reduced.

Is that even legal?

I love itch.io as a platform, and I can understand if they need to serve ads when people download stuff for free, but this is not okay -- they are serving what's most likely a type of malware in an ad that's designed to trick people who are trying to download the project. I honestly don't think I can stay on the platform if they keep doing this -- I don't want to put people who download my projects at risk.
