  Facts right here. Learn how to let people have their own space. Sometimes a thing isn’t meant for you, and that’s okay.

  Brave does some cool stuff, but I just can’t bring myself to trust “privacy-first” software that was funded by Peter Theil’s circle…

  They want to track you, and if you don’t let them (VPN, 3rd party client, VM, etc) then they pull this shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half a million Spotify users are unknowingly grooving to an AI-generated band⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I began noticing this on my discover weekly, some particularily bad AI slop was showing up (I listen to a lot of ambient) and that alerted me to audit the rest of my playlists.

  Look for artists that:

  • release an absurd amount of music per time period

  • have only released music post-2023

  • use obviously AI generated album art

  • have no photo of the real artist or description

  Found about a dozen offenders.

  Yep - are you apologizing for them, or for yourself?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How good are amphetamines for brain fog?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds like a sleeping disorder, imo.

  And no, ADHD medications do not make you immune to brain fog. In some situations they can make it worse, especially when they wear off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL my decision to drive a 22' full cab pickup truck and vehemently oppose urban zoning reform makes me a defender of social justice, a warrior for the downtrodden, and more progressive than 99% [cont⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate where you’re coming from, but understand this is a very personal issue for me. I’ve been dealing with it for the majority of my life.

  I’m not going to challenge the specific merits of food delivery. But everyone deals with their disorder in their own way. For example, I solve this issue by simply living next to a grocery store in a walkable area. It’s something I’ve worked towards over time.

  What infuriates me is someone trying to code something as “ADHD-adjacent” - and in this case, pass it off as though exploitative gig service delivery apps are some kind of accessibility measure. We are particularly susceptible to the weapons of the information age, which has engineered easy dopamine hits within the reach of our fingers at all times. They are NOT there to make our lives better. They are there to exploit, profit, and manipulate.

  Believe me, I’m very familiar with the concept. I simply despise the idea of someone categorizing food delivery apps as an ADHD-specific service.

  Never used a delivery app in my life. This person is just using ADHD as an umbrella term for “impulsive decisions”, which is an inherently shitty thing to do.

  Literally nothing.

  Shitty people will associate ANY impulsive decision with ADHD because they get all their mental health information from short-form content.

  Dated a string of people who didn’t deserve my trust, so I know that gut-wrenching feeling all too well. Life is more peaceful without it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quit discord last year. Moved my core friend group onto Signal.

  Potential alternatives and their issues:

  • Guilded: owned by Roblox, faces same data/privacy concerns
  • Discourse: backed by venture capital, same as above
  • Revolt: slow development, no game streaming, otherwise decent
  • Matrix: high technical barrier of entry, but promising.

  If you’re looking to kick discord as well:

  For game streaming, try Parsec (with their echo cancellation trick)

  For movie/video streaming, try Hyperbeam.
