Huh, then I wonder if I may need to go older. Ironic. Well, I’m just using Bluetooth for now lol… I know, not the best…

so i use a fork.

Which?

Then mecha it is!

Thankfully, the right-to-repair movement is growing as wins stack up.

I could not get that thing to transfer files… but I also see it’s had multiple updates this month, so maybe it’s resolved my issues…

It’s not really my jam

I watched someone’s entire playthrough of it on YouTube, which I find to be a decent middle ground. In fact, someone else I know doesn’t even game any more and just watches playthroughs; better to see an expert do it with insightful or fun commentary than to get frustrated from not knowing what to do, etc. when we have such limited time in our lives anyway. Maybe that’s why I generally prioritize roguelites nowadays; if I’m gonna play something, I wanna ensure it’s a unique challenge that possibly not even the devs have ever exactly seen, and not simply be treated like a rat in a fixed maze to figure out precisely or struggle otherwise when other people have done it.

Anyway, I digress; Infested Planet is $1.94 USD for another recommendation, and it’s awesome. The trailer undersells it if anything.

I don’t know, but I don’t think we should judge in that way; maybe he ran out of money for therapy or something.

Hmm. Thanks, though I’m seeking universal /offline so if I get URLs in other platforms, I won’t have to turn to the browser to purge them of junk. Or maybe this could be converted into a standalone program…

Interesting. I’ve often wondered if I should try to learn SQL… I suppose it can’t hurt to git gud.

I didn’t mean to dismiss them; maybe my wording could have been better. I’m curious about where it’s being seen; sure, I don’t need to know, but I want to know.

It rarely ever does anything in my experience.

Anyway, I built a URL-cleaning script in AutoHotkey, but that’s Windows-only; I, too, am on the hunt for a Linux equivalent. Maybe this could be done in SikuliX or Espanso, via a Python script, but I suck at Python so far.

Are you talking about Lemmy posts? I think you may have to build your own table of links.

Weird, I had no idea that there was such a sharp restriction on the Linux platform! Well, what about using scrcpy to access your phone on the computer?

Oh, I had read that post earlier. Yeah, that’s definitely not a good upbringing to have experienced. Sorry you went through that. Thankfully, not all people are bad, so feel free to reach out to any of those contacts and see if you can get something going through lunch or a hobbyist meetup; friendship-building takes time (months of repeated hangouts). If people don’t take the initiative for invitations, then it’s up to us. A lot of people are reactive but not proactive. It sucks but you get used to it.

However, I don’t think that on average you would be able to make a friend that fast to a depth appropriate for wound care, unless I suppose you specifically befriend a nurse or other medical professional, which is not exactly easy to engineer as opposed to happening to just stumble upon someone.

If you were in the Milwaukee area near me, I would be able to refer you to some contacts. Maybe post about this in groups focused on your locale, like a Lemmy community here or a local subreddit or even Facebook group.

Huh? OP said:

meanwhile in therapy i realized i avoid intimacy really hard

what do you mean by “in my life”?

I mean your social life; are there acquaintances who you had met earlier who you could message, “Hey, it’s @fuckyou1@lemmy.world from (wherever we had met)! How’s it going?” I’m talking about the building blocks to friendship.

it seems like part of me doesn’t want any social connections.

Don’t you ever get lonely? What do you do in your free time? Was there some kind of traumatic event in your history that led you to develop AvPD, possibly?

I also notice that you talked about others giving you benefits; what about the other way around? Have you ever helped anyone and felt good about it as a result?

I don’t know where you’re seeing this and why it’s such a concern. In general, Lemmy denizens are more down-to-earth than redditors, in my experience.

Due to their security focus only very few messages can load from your phone

Source? I’ve never heard of nor experienced this. In my experience as a longtime Signal user, it’s Signal Desktop that sometimes misses messages while phones never do (unless you botch a transfer).

What kind of boundary do you mean and why is it so strong as to prevent friendship? Does it even prevent acquaintanceship? Do you at least have non-strangers in your life?

I thought they were Southeast Asian, or maybe I’m recalling incorrectly.
