This reminded me of an episode of Mind Field, which shows significant improvent in cases of ADHD, Migraines, and a skin picking disorder in kids just through the placebo effect.

They use elaborate set ups and suggestions like a turned off MRI machine, fake nurses and doctors in lab coats, etc. And the kids are actually told, that it’s their brain doing the healing, not the machine.

The original comic is by George Alexopoulos. He is right wing and has drawn some questionable comics. Source

Personally, I’ve been really enjoying the technical side of vanilla minecraft. Like building farms, machines and automation. So after I saw you mention quarries, I wanted to share my recent project. This machine destroys over 5 million blocks in total, and it’s so satisfying to see it run.

Currently in the process of installing Lineageos on my brothers redmi note 10 pro.

Its a huge pain compared to my phone, mainly because unlocking the bootloader requires an account with his number connected. Then I had to install Windows to use their shitty unlock app, which the requires you to wait up to 30 days for seemingly no reason. Luckily “just” a week for us.

But yeah the hardware is amazing.

If you just want to change your IP, there is no reason to use Mullvad. If you care about your privacy Mullvad is great. You can pay in xmr or even in cash by mail.

Yeah. I don’t know why but I also can’t open it, shared it using Jerboa. But the reason is basically AI scraping and that AI/LLM’s can spit out their training data so that notice could show up there.

Get a sharpening stone, brand doesn’t matter imo. I have one with 1000 grid for rough sharpening and 6000 grid for making it really sharp. It does require some learning tho.

If you want to harden Firefox, use ffprofile.com. It makes creating a custom profile very easy, and it should have good defaults. This should provide you with decent privacy and also allows you to remove annoyances like sponsored sites.

Or if you are lazy, use LibreWolf which, as far as I know, basically does just that, but preconfigured for you.

For addons, I would go with: uBlock Origin, CanvasBlocker, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes.

Finally you can test your setup with Panopticlick.

You should consider switching your user agent. It is often used to track and identify you, by sending stuff like OS and browser version.

You can find a better explanation, and your current user agent here: https://whatmyuseragent.com/

I think he’s saying that he just learned about av1 and made it his favourite video format. Like this perhaps: “How did I not know about this thing?”.

I also have the same WMF peeler. It’s really nice.
