I think it depends on what you are expecting out of the conversation. The chances are they will be excellent listeners. Buf that’s about it unless something is wrong with them or you.
I hope you all are having a good day. I would like to start by saying that I’m the “can’t take compliments” guy who posted a while back about how he “can’t take compliments”. I’ve been thinking about something for a while. That being the situation in the title....
I’m an extrovert, and I was a gifted kid. I haven’t been gaslit about my abilities, and I was supported and encouraged as a kid. I know what I’m capable of, and I know my limitations. I love myself, and wouldn’t choose to be anyone else.
I’m the exact same. Well, perhaps saying “exact” is too much. Let’s just say “similar” instead. I love myself so much.
To me, compliments feel like someone passing judgement on me, like they’re putting themselves in a place above me so they can judge me. I’m aware that’s not what they’re doing, but that’s always been what it feels like to me.
While I personally think they aren’t judging me, I sometimes feel like I’m doing exactly what you have described when I compliment people. I try to compliment people whenever I can in order to make them feel good and while it works, I feel like I’m above them for doing so.
While I did not go through any kind of things that you have, though I did meet a few people who tried to use my own abilities against me in order to feel above me, sometimes I do suspect if the compliments I’m getting are genuine or not. I just toss those kind of thoughts away immediately. Most of the time it doesn’t even come to suspecting the compliments. I disregard them.
I think because I don’t believe them. But there a number of people that I respect and value the opinion of. What they say about me is absolutely true. But I still act the same towards their compliments.
I’m usually cheerful around people but when they compliment me out of the blue I just get quiet. I’m not thinking about anything either. My mood decreases. It’s not that I devalue myself. Deep down I am disgustingly egoist. However I don’t inflict any of that on others. People wouldn’t classify me as an egoist at all. Perhaps it’s my ego that’s causing this? I’m unsure.
I’ve been wanting to move from Mixplorer to Ghost Commander for a while now, but whenever I move an image, then it stops showing on Aves (fdroid) and whenever I move an audio file then the same happens with vinyl....
I have been using Material files for quite a while now and I really enjoy it. If I want “dual-pane mode” then I just use the “New window” button and split those two.
So i recently got my first android phone after having been an iphone user for years. So far i am really happy and especially enjoy finding foss alternatives to as many apps as possible....
Retroarch? It’s basically an emulator haven from what I’ve seen. I’m not an expert when it comes to emulators though. So if there is some kind of technical problem, disadvantage, something that makes Retroarch inferior to alternatives; I’m unaware of it.
I made a comment somewhere else a few days ago so I’ll just copy paste.
Les Misérables is easily the best book I’ve ever read in my entire life. A few years ago I read a shorthened version of it and even then I was fascinated by it. I finished reading the full text two months ago and oh my fucking god this book is the best thing ever written.
I’m Turkish so I read the Turkish translation (will read the full text in English and French when I learn it) and on the back of it, it says something along these lines:
“… Les Misérables is the third and the most majestic collumn of the author’s novel trilogy that tells of the society…”
And I completely agree with that. This book is simply timeless. The characters, situations, unjustice, inequalities, all the suffering in it could be applied to any society. This book is real.
The messages that it sends are solutions to topics that seemingly anybody with a functioning brain should be capable of thinking and realizing. And yet, these solutions are ignored and refused because of greed, revenge, bloodlust and most important of all, ignorance.
The main character of the book, Jean Valjean is the embodiment of redemption. His entire arc teaches us how to treat criminals. Some countries today are taking these lessons and applying them. The lessons being; treat them as human, rehabilitate them. The result? They actually do heal and return to society as normal human beings.
And yet you see people against this practice. Those kinds of people are blinded by bloodlust and revenge. They are the same kind of people that were racist, sexist and much more back in the day. The arguments that these people bring don’t hold up either. The most common one I see (at least from my perspective) is this:
“You wouldn’t react this way if they hurt one of your loved ones!”
The fact that these people don’t know anything about me aside, this argument is pointless as it implies that I would be blind to fact and logic when I’m in pain. And while that is true, me being angry over an apple falling onto my head won’t make gravity any less real. In other words, so what?
The biggest victims of this mentality are pedofiles. Not the ones that do engage in action. But rather the ones that don’t harm anybody are aware of their issue. For instance, if a non-engaging pedo went to a therapist and told them of their issue, what would the therapist do? Call the police of course. And what would that do? Their life would be pretty screwed from that point forward. Assuming they are the non-engaging type, of course. I don’t believe this to be the correct attitude towards these kind of cases.
I would also like to dive into other topics that the book covers (and perhaps extend on this one) but it would be way too long for a comment. Thank you anyone reading this far. I would like to hear your opinions on the matter and discuss even!>>

I can’t speak for the privacy scene but in my country it’s pretty popular merely because of anonimity (which boils down to not having to use a phone number) and Discord-like server/groups. For porn and other NSFW content, it is pretty popular.
I personally think that this merely a miscommunication on Leah’s part. If I were you, I would just let it go. From what I understand, Leah remade the patch herself so no work was stolen?
Sure you might feel wronged for being told to wait for a week and that’s natural! But as I stated, this was just a miscommunication in my opinion.
This situation is not worth stressing yourself over. You’re salty over Leah calling your work “shit”? Work/study harder and improve upon yourself. If I were you, this is what I would gather from all this.
Also, Leah saying “Accepy my authority” is pretty ironic for someone in the FOSS community.

Firefox for Android does not support Material UI, has a low minimum API level, and generally seems lacking in features. Why is that?...
