sky,

You can use the left scroll wheel on your steering wheel to adjust the wipers once you’ve pressed for a single wipe. Just click it right for more, left for less. No need to look at the screen at all really. There’s a little graphic on the wiper controls showing you this.

sky,

Thank you! It’s a fine mouse, the battery lasts legitimately months of use, and it recharges enough to use for the day in a minute. People just like yelling about Apple.

My G Pro Superlight has a charge port on the front and I never use it while charging because it isn’t pleasant to use that way, with tension from the cable. I just go pee and come back and it’s charged plenty.

My therapist recommended this for me, or esketamine which my insurance may cover, but my doctor thought trying a regular antidepressant first was best, despite having tried many before.

I am doing better than I was, for sure, but I do wonder if I could be even better. I’m also honestly lucky to have made it through the dark period before the meds kicked in.

sky,

I managed to snag a refurbished Pixel 6 Pro on Woot for $250 or so, and it’s been wonderful running GrapheneOS. Definitely some learning curves after being on iOS so long, but it’s great.

The only thing I miss is contactless payment, but I’ve gotten used to it.

sky,

I hadn’t considered it might be quitting weed since I started an antidepressant around the same time and had been assuming it was that. It’s been a little over 5 weeks and I’m having awful nightmares every single night. Not interesting, just unpleasant and rooted in my various traumas.

Not ideal, but all the other positives of sobriety are worth it.

sky,

That sounds terrible, I’m sorry! I have to admit I liked not dreaming at all.

sky,

You’re not unlucky, in the U.S. any charger that isn’t made by Tesla is unreliable. It’s been getting worse over time, and the only real hope is that every manufacturer is switching to Tesla’s charge port (now called NACS) and getting access to their Superchargers.

I had a non-Tesla EV and eventually got a Tesla because I need to road trip regularly and can’t handle chargers being down.

sky,

They are genuinely more reliable. Having more stalls does help for when there’s issues, but they have 99.96% uptime across the entire network. I’ve had to move stalls once in my almost 3 years of ownership.

They also have their own service people that travel to chargers to fix them, where Electrify America hires local electrical contractors that may not be experts on DC Fast Charging equipment.

Edit: ran some numbers and I’ve charged 109 times on Superchargers. One failed session. I live in the rural Midwest/South so it’s not like I’m in EV heaven either.

sky,

What car do you drive where charging stops are that long? My average Supercharging session in my base Model 3 is 9 minutes. That’s barely enough time to go pee and walk my dog.

I strongly prefer road-tripping my EV because the natural breaks mean I arrive more refreshed and less sore.

The natural outcome of vibes-based politics is “if we engineer the right slogan they’ll totally stop the genocide”

sky,

Take care of yourself! Thanks for your work here ☺️

sky,

Oh this will be nice, I loved having this on iOS. I used it for things like sign in codes from TV apps or whatever. Hopefully it works offline like voice does so I can continue using GBoard without network permissions.

sky,

I don’t think you understand what Apple Fitness+ is? You don’t have to pay for access to any health data?

It’s a service with workout videos lead by instructors, like what Peloton offers with their app. It’s pretty good, I enjoy the yoga classes on my Apple TV.

GrapheneOS BIG NEWS For Memory Tagging With Pixel 8 Devices (grapheneos.social)

Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are ARMv9 devices supporting hardware memory tagging. Stock OS currently has a very primitive experimental implementation available as a developer option. We’re going to be deploying a more advanced implementation for hardened_malloc in production soon....

sky,

ooo I didn’t need another reason to tempt me to upgrade but here we are

sky,

to be fair the shit is expensive and insurance won’t often cover it

sky,

Do you use Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1)? They block it because they remove some trackable information from requests.

sky,

Yeah, I get notifications on my phone every 5 minutes until I change the laundry, it’s been very helpful honestly.

sky,

You can run any Linux application on them… Not a computer though.

NVIDIA R545 Linux Beta Driver Brings HDMI Deep Color, Night Color & FB Consoles (www.phoronix.com)

There are a lot of good improvements and fixes in this release. As a remorseful Nvidia on Linux user, I am extremely excited that GAMMA_LUT is finally making its debut in the Nvidia driver. This means I can actually try to use Gnome Wayland at night with the night shift feature, assuming other Wayland issues are also resolved.

sky,

oh thank god I have been dying without night light

sky,

Such a wonderful phone! The pop up camera is so nice for privacy. I got a new phone and gave it to a friend and they still daily drive it happily.

sky,

Are you me? 😅 I haven’t been able to work for 4 years because I burnt out so hard working in politics, a field I loved.

I agree with a lot of what the author said, but sort of feel like they could do some more work on not feeling pressure from neurotypical society? I recently finished reading “Unmasking Autism” by Devon Price and really found it helpful in this regard.

sky,

I’m not sure if this is backed by research but my therapist has said that CBT isn’t very effective for autistic folks.

It wasn’t very helpful at all with my precious therapist so it checks out anecdotally for me.

sky,

Ooh I’ll finally have to switch! One less app sucking up battery in the background 😍
