Second time my drafts have completely vanished on @ivory

I’m this close to exploding

@ivory is there a way to throw it into offline mode or something so drafts are just local / don’t attempt to sync up or whatever? What is causing this / is there anything I can do to minimize this?

Why does it feel like Signal will just fall down the same enshitification hole that Telegram did?

“Free” service…gonna need to make some real money somehow eventually.
It’s got leg up on TG now but really not in the mood of jumping platforms again. (That and I barely use TG anyway, just a few friend groups that aren’t elsewhere).

Feel like I was the last furry using Pidgin for YIM, Gtalk, AIM, MSN, and Skype… avoided TG as long as possible until everyone was there and gone from other services.

@arch read that when it came out.
Non profits don’t mean no profit, there’s certainly still an impetus for money (and we all know what happens w/money and humans). Hell for example, non profit hospitals rake in fuckloads of cash and the special few pocket difference. Even Mozilla CEO draining foundation dry.
Eventually board members will change, ideologies will change, protocol has its flaws and doesn’t seem like worthy successor. Not in current state anyway. I’m skeptical about their long term.

Automat action. @fattykun would approve.

Croquet log thing that I can only describe as filled with country gravy, or something just like it. Tasty and instantaneous.

Well that took all fuckin day but I think I got the ups/nut configuration working again. Update broke it awhile back and have grated my face on it previously but now it's crunch time and finally got it done.

Full test would involve draining UPS battery too and seeing what happens and verify things happen as expected / quick enough but really rather not cycle those batteries more than necessary, it never likes that.

Also proxmox notification stuff prev upgraded and finally got that working too.

Got all the VM/container upgrades done yesterday. So far everything’s seemed stable. /knockonwood

Would've been nice to get some IPMI/KVM over IP device going but ship date just way too far out.
Just really don't want any major issues when gone for quite awhile. Hoping for best. Should be fine.

This fucking hurts to read.

Technology was meant to help us, serve us, make our lives better. When did it become the other way round?

We need to take back ownership of the technology we own.

@eonity healthcare and science were supposed to help/save us too.

Turns out the 1% have other plans. Whodathunk.

ADHD medication experience Day 4. This morning's dose taken a little late for mundane reasons. While waiting for it to kick in, did a few tasks and found it difficult going. Continued those after brain switched on, and found though I was in a fine working state, I couldn't retrieve memories I should have had from this morning. Fleeting ones after dose were still immediately findable though.

@NanoRaptor this 100% reminds me when I installed an addon that limited the number of browser tabs I could open.

My short term memory absolutely could not cope.

Can't tell ya how many times I need to type something down asap, like within 5s or the thought is gone. Guess I could've trained myself to type it elsewhere instead of trying to open a tab but it was wreckin me. Addon deleted and my extreme anger from forgetting things subsided.

I wonder how this'd go now that I'm on vyvanse.

@NanoRaptor also I tried cmd+shift+w'ing right after reading that (blindly, didn't know what it did, thought it was some magic trick for productivity) and then had a lil panic attack when my browser just poof'd (no fear, right? ctrl+shift+t to reopen... that didn't do anything. but thankfully History > Recently Closed Windows did work).
