Hi, i’m into programming, sexual transmutation and psychedelics!

There’s Bitcoin and lightning network :)
I’m actually curious on Rust, i don’t like how dispersive can be JavaScript, i prefer to build smaller, maybe uglier things, but that work and are nicely stable, scalable and can be integrated on multiple different platforms. Also i love that almost everything runs on Cargo and i don’t have to choose between 100 things that essentially cover the same target. I also think the Discord idea is quite good, i just want to find someone who is on my same level to grow / build cool things toghether, or small projects on which i can actively partecipate, there’s also an association near me that promotes opensource projects and give free code lessons, i might give it a try as well and see if i meet someone there. I’m gonna give it another try before deciding of giving up, i think it is deserved.
And how you deal with that, how do you choose what to do and what not to do?
Honestly when i first got into coding i liked the fact it could give me jobs i could do from every part of the world, that is still on demand and that gave a certain freedom on how you approach technology and customize it to make it your own, i always liked to tinker around with computer and i even have a small home server i use for several stuff. I loved how useful internet was to find informations otherwise unreachable and share stuff without censorship woth everyone, as i said i love the story of the cypherpunk movement, i see bitcoin as a real solution to our obsolete economy, and i thought i would have liked to have a role into changing this shitty system paradigms, my target was to work with lightining network or similar protocols maybe one day. However i feel like i’m changing lately and i’m lacking human interactions so much, there’s no point in building something toghether if there’s no emotions to share with others before, during and after the process. Maybe it’s just how i’m made, but i cannot stick to it, i just get super depressed and i see no point in doing it. Maybe i’m just lazy i don’t know, but it is like that.
Adding the fact that sometimes i feel like technology controls me, and not the opposite despite all the efforts i make, feels just super wrong and not how i want to live.
I’m studying webdevelopment so i’ve had the opportunity to work only on simple stuff so far, but it already feels super overwhelming, sometimes i get lost just in setting up my coding environment, just to realize it will only be one of many i’ll need to learn how to work with.
Okay then, i think i’m buying a new guitar
This is actually something i wanna get more informed on, for example i see that e/os is still supporting the first google pixel (from 2016), it’s already 7 years of updates. However i think that applies just to the OS update, not the security patches, am i right?
If you search it online you can find that people have some issues with computer running amd ryzen processor and the adb and fastboot commands, i don’t know if it’s the case, but i couldn’t find any other reasons on why a TWRP nandroid backup that was completely fine when i took it and didn’t prompt any error couldn’t be restored.
It’s not a disk image, it is a particular type of compression that packs up different parts of the system (system, data, vendor etc…).
I also tried to enter the backup by using a tool that converts .ab backup in .tar, but i didn’t manage to do it.
Anyway i don’t really care if i lost that particular backup, i just want to avoid it to happen again
The vpn thing worked!
Thank you!!
How do you sandbox google apps in android?
Yeah the web version is cool but it doesn’t give you the navigation and can’t find your position, usually i wouldsearch for a destination in webview and open it in another nav, but that doesn’t work well if you are by foot for example…
But that might actually be the case tho, because i don’t get any position without my cellphone data active (only with GPS it can’t find a position) that might explain why it gets so long sometimes.
Yeah but with graphene at least you can limit the permissions google maps has and treat the app like every other normal app, isolated and not able to grab informations if you’re not using it, i wonder if there’s a way to use it with an anonymous google account just like Aurora.
Yeah sure planning ahead helps, but it’s difficult when everyone else you are with has a different workflow or if something unexpected happens…
I will try osmand again for public transports, but the problem is sometimes with the mozilla geolocation services (default in lineage) you get your position after 10 minutes (or you just don’t get it sometimes) and it isn’t precise at all, in my experience it was working well with car but by foot it just can’t sort out where you are…
For the google phone it’s not just the thing of giving money to google, it’s also that i’m tired of phones you cannot unmount, change battery or other basic pieces like the screen, i would get a fairphone, but i’m not really sure the price is worth it.
I tried osmand, but was working even worse with finding my position and getting me to places
That’s actually a good option, but i guess i would need to install Gapps and google geolocation service too, is it possible inside shelter?
It does work for maps, but doesn’t get your location so it’s not very good for navigation
If we’re talking about value as a monetary system: yeah crypto is, bitcoin isn’t
Yeah i have microg but some of the apps don’t work very well either
I wonder why we don’t have AI browser extensions that can recognise and obscure possible ads / unwanted content yet
