The thing about Twitter/X is that the algorithm has always been tailored to get the most interactions, which very typically leads it to feed you things that get you angry. I can’t imagine what it’s like post-musk ownership.

Facebook & Reddit are the same. I’ve never really used Instagram or TikTok so can’t really vouch for either of those.

I’ve seen people I’ve known since childhood whom I always thought were really lovely post really xenophobic content. I’ve watched others fall into the traps of “real social dynamics” and the likes of whatever crap Jordan Peterson was spewing at the time. Heck, I’ve even seen people whom have always been quite chill “go with the flow” types try to start arguments on these platforms.

I realised that a lot of things are posted very deliberately to enrage you. Depending on who posted it, they could also be attempting to control the way you think, too. Getting people angry is the best way to coerce them into compliance.

If you find yourself getting angry at something you’ve seen on social media, think about why that might have posted in the first place. I generally find that the angrier people are in the comments the more likely it was posted to influence how you think about the subject.

Maybe they didn’t expect the towers to actually fall?

Copying one of my favourite (and last saved) comments from Reddit:

The most precious commodity we have is our time on this planet, and we have far less of it than we realise. The time we choose to spend together is a gift we give to each other.

Appreciate the gift of their precious commodity that they give you, don’t expect more than they are willing to give, but don’t squander your precious resource with someone who doesn’t appreciate your gift.

I guess this game just doesn’t exist, but remember that tweet of the guy who had a dream about an open world pirate exploration game with Waluigi in it?

That game.

I haven’t used it myself, but try boatswain? It looks a little more fully featured.

It’s on flathub, I know that much!

That’s more point in time location sharing rather than real time.

I see “real time” I think it updates where I am on a map for as long as I’ve specified, similar to what WhatsApp and telegram do.

It’s a feature I’d really like in signal, though.

The one anti-spam module in the server code and… what else is proprietary?

FCM? The thing they need to give android users (with Google play services installed) notifications?

You’ll want to look into the *arr apps.

Specifically… sonarr, radarr and prowlarr.

Wiki is: https://wiki.servarr.com/

Also, jellyseerr looks like a nice requesting front end https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr

I haven’t used jellyseerr as I use a VPS that only offers Ombi, but that’s pretty good too.

It’s most likely easiest to use docker to spin everything up.

This would be a lovely thing if signal also enables the interoperability.

I can’t remember where I’ve seen it, probably on the signal community forum, but I don’t believe signal have any plans to integrate the interoperability stuff; specifically because they can’t guarantee their users won’t have metadata collected by third parties like Meta.

I’ve definitely done this before. They get angry at you. It would be funny if I wasn’t so tired of repeating myself.

As a Brit who looks eastern Asian…

“Where are you from?” And when I tell them, the follow up: “Okay, but where are you really from?”

They’re asking my heritage, but it comes off as really presumptuous; as if I couldn’t have possibly been born and raised in this country.

I’m still getting over some heart break nearly two months on. It doesn’t hurt as much anymore, but there are still days where one reminder is enough to ruin me emotionally for the rest of the day.

Hanging in there though and surrounding myself with my friends who have been really awesome to me over these last few months.

Therapy also seems to be taking a turn, so hoping things are on the rise now.
