  • Look for free services, there are not many but some. That’s what I did at a point when I needed it as a Uni student.

    As for jobs, if you are a web dev try creating a portfolio. Doesn’t need to be full blown from day 0, or ever. Look for good first issues on github. And reinvent an app in the way you’d like to just for the sake of it…

    If not as personal investment, do it for the activity.

    Oh, and do some sport. Like 3-6 hour of physical activity per week will keep you grounded.

    Simple gestures keep you from falling in downward spiral…

    Creating this post is a huge step. Congrats!

    PS. Yes, applying for jobs sucks SO much. Check if there’s any event or conferences nearby… networking matters a lot, maybe even more than having an impressive CV/ Portfolio. Good luck! You deserve better :)



  • I use FreeTube on desktop (it’s on f-droid too!) because you can create subscriptions under local profiles (e.g. some of mine are: music, diy, news, etc.) and it allows to export or import subscriptions so you could sync devices every once in a while. Oh and a whole export holds all your profiles.

    May not be perfect but I like switching front pages with these profiles…








  • virtue signalling online is not ‘opposing’ genocide… victims are still there, they couldn’t care less for your comment(s). That was my point, you’re not doing anything meaningful, except for yourself and making you feel “superior”… for a ‘daring’ online speech…

    Can I join you?

    F*ck settler colonialist!! Death to all Nazis!!!

    :)








  • I just wanted to clarify the confusion that was in my head for a moment after going after the truth and fact checking. If I buy a pizza with Bitcoin and Lightning Network (which is the only one in use at most legal places), it’s not like I’m using 1600 kWh… The original message is misleading in that regard… Practical and concrete reality are different. But theoretical, if that pizza wanted a normal transaction it would use such amount of energy and take days (that’s why they wouldn’t use that)… So… There’s that.

    Anyway, the dichotomy ‘AI or Crypto’ is false. I am not taking sides. But you do you, enjoy.
