  • I’m going to take a slightly different approach of what productivety means here; for me it’s literally just making my things in my life less time consuming, easier to access and return to.

    With that in mind, I use Google photos to automatically back up my photos, this could be anything from wiring diagrams, patio brick layouts, a quote in a book, to a mushroom I’m wanting to identify.

    I use the app plantnet if I’m wanting to identify a plant.

    I use the app seeker to download music from soulseek

    I upload any research papers/books downloaded from scihub/libgen to gdrive for easier access in the future.

    This is of course ignoring all of the notes/timers/reminders I use my phone for as well


  • I kind of agree with other person who said it’s basically just antidepressants… though I’ve shyed away from the one that made me deeply content (yet somewhat dysfunctional) in exchange for one that leaves me more functional in exchange for a bit more (healthy) strife.

    I’d be quite curious of a world where everyone is on universally functioning antidepressants.

    Is this society a functioning dystopia or a dysfunctional utopia?

    Also OP have you ever played the video game ‘We Happy Few’, a key feature of the world is that everyone takes a mild psychedelic called Joy to stop them from remembering the past.

    Another story that I seem to recall using a similar plot point is Brave New World and their drug Soma (IIRC)






  • Recently it’s been Obtanium, basically it allows you to add apps which are hosted on GitHub/other app sources which don’t have auto updating, and have them automatically check and offer to update!

    It’s been really useful for Lemmy clients (liftoff/Jerboa)/any android apps from:

    GitHub

    GitLab

    Codeberg

    F-Droid

    IzzyOnDroid

    Mullvad

    Signal

    SourceForge

    SourceHut

    APKMirror (Track-Only) APKPure

    Third Party F-Droid Repos

    Jenkins Jobs

    Steam

    Telegram App

    VLC

    Neutron Code

    “HTML” (Fallback)



  • Quite literally self ‘Annihilation’, I think the shimmer itself is more analogous to cancer (continuously expanding, with random distorted outcomes, most of which are agressive towards anything untainted by the shimmer), but fundamentally each of the characters are there for their own different reasons for self-destruction with the hopes that it benefits others, as they effectively know it’s a suicide mission).

    The bit that I cannot recall if it was explained is why did the special ops guy go if he had a loving wife at home; what was his reason for self destruction?
