What do you give a shit about?

Sometimes finding anything to care about when you are depressed, but if/when you find something you care about beyond feeling better, you should really think about why, and if it’s healthy, lean into it.

Some people care about creating, some about building, some discover, service to others, analysis, working with their hands, being in nature. What do you gravitate towards? Some people go down a path they don’t care about, because of external pressures, or comfort, or just trying to get by.

If you don’t care to advance the career you are in, maybe it’s time to think about why.

I trust that if you know yourself enough to admit in words on the internet that you aren’t helping yourself, you are damn self aware enough to think about these things. Don’t worry about the stress of changing careers or losing progress or what other people think. Just figure out what you might care about, which paths you could see yourself going down, and mentally explore those and see what you give a shit about. Find some intersection between stuff you give a shit about and what is productive, and motivation comes. Motivation is a by-product, a secondary effect, of having something motivating to work on.

Zero knowledge and multi-party computation, and technologies that allow, like TLS Notary and proof of email

I could think of a few dozen on the top of my head, but I imagine it’s one of those things that as the collective "me"s got used to it, we could probably all use an extra hand and it would quickly get into the hundreds

A lot. It would be quite a few just to fully get into the hobbies I have, and quite a lot more to pursue all the things I’d like to learn.

Discreetly https://github.com/discreetly/

It’s a federated anonymous chat system.

In alpha now. We will be pushing some big updates over the next few weeks.

We broke a bunch of endpoints last night but it should be back up by the end of the week. If you want to try it out DM me for an invite code.

Tooth and Claw! I haven’t seen that mentioned. Awesome podcast about animal attacks and animal facts

TLSNotary.org its a way of proving the result of a tls session to someone else. So for example you could prove your bank balance to someone else without giving them your login credentials or you could prove you received a DM from someone.

TLS Notary

Idk about rhinos but hippos can be pretty grumpy too

I would love quake 3 remastered, that was so much fun back in the day

Totally fair, the movement and customizable UI is great, but yes, some other areas were not so great. And the player base is just not big enough.

Have you tried Diabotical

Definitely my favorite cooking YouTuber. His pizza videos are great!

And regulated and inspected for abuses of power

YES this. We should start a community. I hate advertising, absolutely hate it, and do everything I can to avoid it. Pihole ✅, YouTube premium ✅, sponsorblock ✅, Firefox ✅, ublock origin ✅.

What else am I missing, I want it all blocked!

People watch the super bowl FOR THE ADS

Internet companies that are forced to take people’s personal information could do it at their cost

There technically is, but it’s going to be a while until the government is ok with it. It’s called zero knowledge cryptography, where a user could prove they have an identification that is government issued, and that they are of age, without revealing any other information.

https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview it’s proprietary, but it has a lot of features geared towards writing novels/screenplays/etc

It’s not that easy for corporate environments, but yes, IT departments need to push back, this is pretty fucked up
