FOSSdev, poetry, post-postmodernism. Making distraction-free and privacy-respecting software. Neovim/Rust/Gentoo/Alpine enjoyer. Rarely posting introvert. Anti-"anti": I believe in focusing on what we are rather than on what we are not. Otherwise we become what we are not. ────────────────────────── I enjoy chilled intellectual conversations, preferably dialogues rather than debates 🧠 If we're debating, I care that none of us is overwhelmed by our own stress, care that we're not debating out of our hallucinations about each other's positions 👾 Otherwise, we're engaging in rational debates imitation. We're not on some legacy media platform; nobody can ban anyone, so naive traditionalist-ish ethics don't work here. We're damned to learn how to communicate effectively here without unnecessarily harming each other 🫂 I haven't yet encountered any -ism that would be sound enough with my belief system. If I refer to whatever p

#CakeWallet collapsed for me pretty quickly 🌚 Also, the selected Dart + Flutter tech stack is somewhat creepy. Are #Dart devs aware of what they are running? The build system attempts to send some telemetry by default + write things directly to the flutter directory. Looks like Google decided that all these are acceptable. It fails to build as a Gentoo ebuild, thanks to its sandbox: flutter is a completely different package, and the network is not available during the build. There are also attempts to establish port 80 connections in some dependence(s), which are impossible on my system, where all outgoing port 80 connections are disabled due to abusive ISPs interceptions with their ads/malware:

I normally stay away from explaining what my amateur art means. Because I believe this imprisons a reader in too narrow interpretations. I myself might not have unpacked all the important relevant interpretations from my unconscious yet. But sometimes the explanation is needed. #grownostr #poetry #art #therapy This one can be seen as either pessimistic or optimistic, depending on what you prefer to be buried: yourself as is, or your pejoratives. Whether you're willing to finish your life as one of the other passive-aggressive nihilists at some point, or you're willing to drop the shit and move forward today. Bury yourself as a potential warm fren to many relevant people you have and will keep hurting, or bury the limits of your current worldview and become more fulfilled with yourself and others. You're a free person. You choose what you prefer. And not choosing anything means the default choice, which usually feels pretty crappy. View quoted note →

I randomly decided to check out how #firejail is doing and discovered something as mysteriously creepy as this: These might be unrelated to memory safety in particular, I dunno, but still, please, please, please don't start new #security critical things in C anymore. This has nothing to do with programming language cults; it just becomes overwhelming for OCD'ed guys like me to involuntarily audit things written even with much more recent stacks than this. I guess #hostapd will be one of the next ones. Wish there was at least A SINGLE alternative implementation in whatever better language. Not another coreutils, not an entire OS or something. Just the WiFi hotspot thing through which you're probably currently connected right now.

This poetry is especially relevant for those who experience a trouble of understanding semantic (in)compatibilism (specifically between subjective and objective perspectives), a concept I learned from #NonReductionistPhilosophy. Not understanding this leads to weird stuff; a lot of people in academia fall into this trap. #philosophy #meaningcrisis For example, one may confuse an illusionary subjective free will with its total, absolute nonexistence: it's possible to predict our choices with objective EEG/etc.-based measurements before we experience the making of the choices; therefore, free will doesn't exist in any meaningful sense, one may think. This is almost right, except it's wrong in a broader, closer to an absolute sense: free will still exists as an illusionary subjective experience, and it still *affects* our behavior. When somebody concludes that free will doesn't exist in an absolute sense—this, for example, may become an excuse for irresponsible behavior. Or even worse: one may conclude there's no such thing as subjective experience at all—"solipsism without a solipsist" kind of worldview. A teenager that accommodates a similar faulty worldview might become unnecessarily nihilistic or suicidal. image The absolute is much greater than the poor single objective (or subjective) perspective. Yet the absolute isn't necessarily identical to what New Agers or Buddhists suppose it is. This is too complicated for many many adults to comprehend. Those of us who come from STEM often see legit psychology and spiritual practices as escapism or a delusional scam; and those who come from softer stuff may have the opposite bias, usually towards the particular idealist-based worldviews. Is there something in between these extremes? View quoted note →

Passive-aggressivists kept cooking their lives Nihilist insights were signed with their bytes Randomly dropping the best of pejoratives Partial worldviews will be buried with all of them. #poetry #meaningcrisis I remember I've noticed a peculiar dialogue here: some guy told they've watched some Reiki video and they felt better. And somebody, who I believe understands psychology relatively well, responded with something like "this is a placebo nonsense". You know what's odd with this response? The cynical "nonsense" word. We've been learning how to distinguish a drug effect from placebo, which clearly shows how important the placebo effect is, but ironically many of us disregarded it as some annoying unnecessary noise that confuses researchers. What's worse, many conflated and keep conflating placebo and other stuff that relates to subjectivity with New Agey magical-smegical ideologies. This is so stupid. At some point I expect to record a video on transcending the New-Agey (")Nonsense("), as I'm sure it's incomprehensible to discuss it in text posts properly. At least I don't have such a capacity. There's such an enormous layered confusion and self-deception literally on all sides of the idealist/emergentist spectrum. #Metamodernism barely touches this issue but doesn't really dive into it, while #NonReductionistPhilosophy and #IntegralTheory guys are basically trapped in their biases. All this stuff is also echoing here in some way. And it becomes a bit tough to read some of your posts, guys. Embrace some fucking epistemic humility when you mention whatever you believe a "Magical New Age Cult" until it becomes an anti-intellectual delusional humiliation, which only traps you even further. It's so ironical and painful to see that specifically those who were and are projecting this stuff on legit psychology and meditative practices in particular appear to have cooked their lives already to some degree, as far as I got them.

Eventually you can find bizarre, not necessarily in a negative meaning, kinds of people here, nostriches. Those who say we're all about crypto/privacy/etc.-only haven't dug deep enough. I wonder what you think about literal contemporary #freemasonry guys? Could we be frens? Does it feel off in any way? #asknostr I mean, there's obviously a lot of conspiracy around this community/movement, especially about the highest degrees. And the lowest degrees most likely have no idea what exactly the highest are about, whether they are actually ethically mature guys disconnected from politics or they are abusive psychopaths or whatever else they might be. I mean, their social interactions outside their lodges in particular—who knows what they do together. I personally still have no well-established opinion; I've never thought very much about them, tbh. Yet I'm open-minded, not xenophobic. At least as soon as they are at the lowest degrees (of the authentic lodges), I interpret them as a part of an innocent self-development community, and unless they demonstrate some enormously suspicious/manipulative/abusive behavior in some way, this should be fine to deal with them. Not to mention a lot of us are pseudo-anonymous here, and who knows who we are IRL. #freemason #masonic
