    Dude take the time to curate your experience, any “all” section is going to provide you theses feelings especially when the world is hurting. The human brain imo was never supposed to be exposed by such esoteric kinds of news, from everywhere, at once, and is maybe telling you something through theses feelings.

    And no, this isint an “unplug yourself from the internet”. It’s about taking the time about considering WHAT you are doing on the internet in the first space, WHAT you want to accomplish. Living on the internet without purpose, perpetually bored and looking for something without knowing why, without at least <u>selecting</u> what information you are consuming, digesting, integrating (whether you want to or not) into your everyday life.





  • I ignore news that don’t concern me, my family, city or country. The rest is labeled under “societal spectacle”, drama that I cant change unless i have to stop working and dedicate a whole life to fix that problem. Its ok to admit “bugger this” and just turning off the news, if only a while.

    Its good to stay informed but I can hardly point at a piece of “news” that absolutly changed my life, career, relationships etc…

    It feels like you have to build a skill that sorts news into “I cant do shit about this, (because of valid reasons)” and “wait what are they gutting from my social services that I paid for most of my life through taxes?”.








  • Enshittification is a phenomenon that relies on the human’s laziness to change: thanks to this flaw, the parasitic buisness man is capable of squeezing more profits out it’s clients by slashing quality, labor costs (and service thus) or by raising prices and adding ads. It is the mark of a shit buisness that does not mind dissapearing while clawing any money behind; it is the mark of an organisation that has likely never provided any value or never intended to to their customers.

    If you spot a buisness doing this, make sure to boycott it, or the practice becomes the norm: eg see US government.








  • I second bazzite. I tried arch since I heard it was so customizable that you gained performance but after numerous headaches of tring to connect to the internet, downloading packages one by one without even knowing what I was doing since Im still not even that familiar with the linux ecosystem, i just downloaded bazzite, used rufus to put it on a key, and it worked first try no hassle. Im a bazzite boi now. Im actually impressed with how well nvdia is slowly becoming useable too on that distro, half a year ago you couldnt even use wayland and had to still use x11 but now it works (DISCLAIMER FIDDLING IS REQUIRED WITH NVDIA I HEARD THAT WITH AMD IT JUST WORKS)
