Sure, I imagine if someone isn't already lonely, being put into such circumstances could make them lonely. But loneliness exists in conventional workplaces too! I work in an open office every day, but I'm still extremely depressed

Isaac Arthur is my absolute favorite. Every Saturday morning after I make my coffee, I sit down and am enthralled by this week's video.

It doesn't cost me anything, the new terms are perfectly clear and sufficient, and hopefully the new language causes less duress for other people. This discussion always seems to go bad, but changes like this are innocuous to the langu

I don't think this takes into account how helpful an action plan can be. I would never, ever go to a gathering without forthought, self coaching, and some tips for myself lined up. There's way too much social pressure and too muc

As an aside, some games on Steam are DRM free and/or can be run without steam. Stardew Valley and Kerbal Space Program spring to mind. There is also GOG, which sells DRM-free games. I just keep backups of my games on my NAS.

I love Firefox! The performance is great, it feels zippy, and I love their reader mode and straightforward ui.

This all hits home, and I agree with a lot of the points on social media. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as just quitting. When I stopped using Facebook at the start of this year, my loneliness got much higher. There's less ways

There's always the GalliumOS project if you want to swap out ChromeOS. Compatibility with chromebooks overall is pretty fair. I had a collegue who got Arch linux for Arm working on a Chromebook with some caveats. Of course, the average

I prefer bangs over browser shortcuts, personally. I can expect it to work the same in every browser, so I get consistency over all my devices.

The inclusion of Ponysay over cowsay is dubious at best. Let me be clear: Ponysay has its niche. But with the Ansible stack providing great out of the box integration with Cowsay, it's clear which is the tool of choice for modern workf

I imagine the latex of the balloon has a lower rate of loss as stretching decreases. As it deflates, the relative weight of the balloon vs helium also goes up.

Depression. I have a lot of social anxiety and I feel really isolated, my best friend passed two years ago which didn't make anything better. Isolation makes depression into a feedback loop, and it feels like you keep sinking deeper an

I have private insurance in the USA, but I'm only permitted to see a therapist once every three months. Mileage may vary, this is an anecdote, etc. But as an otherwise healthy, young individual, I really just want talk therapy to proce

Ah, that's good. I have a degree in an unrelated field and it's nice to know there isn't a true cap to self-taught development. Still, going back to school for CS is on my "someday" list.

Admittedly this is a more relaxed definition of social media than I have accepted, but I see your point! I still use Discord and Github, and the social interaction there doesn't cause the same feeling that Facebook or Twitter do. Howev

How would an individual go about doing this? Would they need a good degree? I have a junk degree and currently work as a dev after teaching myself programming.

I don't think that there is a solution as easy as moving to $SOCIAL_NETWORK or $ACTIVITY_PUB_SITE. I feel currently that the issue with social media is it's hyper stimulating. Speaking from a recovering social media addict point o

I use a graph paper notebook for planning, a blank paper notebook for design and software notes. When I need to take longer or more important notes, I use markdown and vim. I keep them in ~/Dev/notes/

FOSS android user here (I'm on the HN Materialistic app now actually)! I had the same issue with my bank, but I resolved it using the F-Droid app "Yalp Store", which wraps the playstore. Now I have my banking app on my phone!

To me, the article reads like Steam Play could be a wrapper over WINE and maybe DXVK (or similar). That would be awesome! Tools like PlayOnLinux and Lutris already exist, and are met with so much love from anyone I introduce to them. The co

Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate the "I've been there, here's what worked" outlook as well. I'll start working to implement some of these practices in my life. Finding a good organization sounds li

Entirely fair criticism and I am aware that the isolation I am in is self imposed, at least to a degree! Thank you. I am reasonably good at pushing myself at other things, like my career or learning new things. I just need to take that step

I'm 21 years old, I grew up online. I started on myspace and chat via gmail, eventually moving to Facebook. Fast forward through an early highschool graduation, and taking most college classes online: I have no idea how on Earth I am t

This is just a silly idea and doesn't fix all the problems, except heat. Could we position a sheet, or a carpet of asteroids in a Lagrange point around the Earth, or as a sort of reverse Dyson sphere? I heard that such a thing could be

I relate to this comment. I've been using an old HP 8460p for the past few years, and almost always prefer to use the keyboard. Even without i3 there's things like tmux that make it much easier.

I would recommend it. I've used it at home for a bit, I only recently switched away from it on my workstation to Antergos. I still feel that 16.04 was a bit more traditional, and I liked that a lot. If you're happy with 16.04, I&#

Hey Frey Team, I'm having a hard time reading your content with Firefox on Android! The text containers are overlapping on my phone, so I can't make out what it says.
