Again, I'm not saying it's a good thing. But the original person said they paid Google for getting GrapheneOS on their Pixel and thus they should get GrapheneOS, all of which I'm saying is that they did not pay Google for that and thus this specific argument is invalid.

    But that's the thing, this only affects GrapheneOS, GrapheneOS was never even implied to be supported. The Pixel default OS still works perfectly well and is getting updates and everything.

    But again, in my opinion, if you don't know what you enjoy or what you're passionate about, just do stuff that vaguely interests you anyway. I'm sure you've had a passing thought of "that seems kinda interesting, but on second thought, naah". Just convert that "naah" into a "yea". Maybe it does really suck, but maybe you'll find something amazing for you to do. Once you actually do something and get involved with it, it may actually become more interesting than it seemed at the start.

    In my humble opinion, ADHD meds aren't really amazing. They're there so we can survive in a world where we "need to get shit done", i.e. be productive for capitalism.

    If theoretically you didn't have to work, would you really "need" the meds? What does it really matter if those tasks you're talking about take 2 weeks to do, if you have 2 weeks to spare?

    In the end, what you're asking here is the age old human question of, what is the meaning of life? Because you're asking what to do with your time on Earth. And so naturally, no one can answer you. Meds or no meds, what you do with your time you have in this life is for you alone to figure out.

    The person said

    paying money for something should get you the thing you paid for

    what exactly did you pay for when you bought your phone is my question. The Pixel keeps working doesn't it? Did the purchase contract state that you get perpetual open source access to any further updates of the Android operating system?

    I'm not saying that Google is doing anything good here. I'm just saying that the argument of "get the thing you paid for" is not applicable here. You paid for a phone, you got the phone. You can still put any software you want on it. You just don't get the newest development in an open source form, which was always just based on Google's goodwill and never part of any purchasing agreement.

    Relying on Google was always ridiculous. People thought they could have their cake (a device with cutting-edge hardware) and eat it too (not be spied on for ads to support this). It was always clear that Google will eventually fight against custom OS on their phones.

    I fear this is a problem that may never be solved. I mean that people of any intelligence fall for the mind's biases.

    There's just too little to be gained feelings-wise. Yeah, you make better decisions, but you're also sacrificing "going with the flow", acting like our nature wants us to act. Going against your own nature is hard and sometimes painful.

    Making wrong decisions is objectively worse, leading to worse outcomes, but if it doesn't feel worse (because you're not attributing the effects of the wrong decisions to the right cause, i.e. acting irrationally), then why should a person do it. If you follow the mind's bias towards attributing your problems away from irrationality, it's basically a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Great article.

    Release 1.3.0

    • You can now add multiple secondary instances: so if you, like me, also have an account on lemmynsfw.com (or of course any other instance), you can add that there and not have links rewritten for that instance
    • You can manually enter your home instance. Useful for self-hosted instances that didn't show up in my instance list.

    Full Description Below:

    Description

    Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance.

    Also works on Firefox Android with the Tampermonkey extension!

    Features

    • Rewrite links to Lemmy posts/comments to point to your home instance. Only after hovering over them, because getting home posts/comments links require communicating with the Lemmy servers, and we don't want to spam the servers.

    • Instantly rewrite all links of community or user links to Lemmy/kbin on all websites everywhere to your new instance! The rewritten links will have an icon next to it, and hovering/touching the icon will show you the original link, allowing you to go there if you want to.

    • If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header.

    Settings

    If you want to change your home instance or add secondary instances in case you have multiple accounts, simply go to the script settings, accessible within Violent/Tampermonkey directly, or alternatively within any Lemmy instances' settings.
