  • I use Element (not X) daily, but a major frustration is that sometimes messages that you’ve received won’t show up until you restart the client. In the past a lot of “Waiting for this message, this may take a while” also appeared. In the android app there is also no search function.

    Don’t get me wrong I love the concept and the app so far, but it isn’t nearly as polished as Discord is (which I also use daily)






    • Started using Mastodon and Lemmy
      • Deleted Reddit account
    • Changed a lot of my apps to FOSS alternatives using NeoStore
    • Got a text-based launcher (Lunar Launcher)
    • Started contributing to community projects
    • Set up a JellyFin server

    Probably some more but I forgot. My case fans are really loud though when I keep my pc on at night to keep running the JF server for my users. Perhaps I should have bought a P600S case with the dampening foam. Looking into buying a Pi 4 this year to run services on instead of my main rig.

    Really am enjoying using FOSS software, even though it can be a little limiting in some ways. AAAAXY is a really fun game btw!

















  • I might be too young for these kind of threads, but yes. I was really depressed during my teenage years but since I’ve started college I’ve been feeling and doing better. I’m currently in my early twenties and starting to feel like a human again.

    I may have less friends now than when I browsed Twitter 24/7 but now I have met some core people I can trust, which is to mee better than a lot of casual people I barely talk to

    Part of me feels like it’s because due to college I’ve started meeting people with the same interests as me. I am no longer having suicidal thoughts every day and I start to look at the world as a bit more of a beautiful place.
