I've been fine for a while, then as soon as I read this post, I start getting the warning. Time to move to an alternative. Might try and revitalize my old newsboat/yt-dl set up again

I hope it works out for you! If you're Linux based, I recommend jrnl. It's a lightweight terminal tool that handles logging and accessing your journal entries and has an encryption option built in. Through the config, you can use whatever text editor you want. I'm using vim because I hate myself!

As for the experience, it really takes some time to get used to. When I first started, I found myself "faking it" for lack of a better word. I wasn't actually writing what I was feeling, I was writing what I'd want someone else to read if they found it. After a while, that became less of the norm and I started treating it like a pen pal that I never heard back from. It lets me kind of put things into perspective and really dig into why I think I'm feeling what I'm feeling. Writing that you're mad won't make you not mad. Writing what made you mad, why you think it bothers you, etc. Won't really make you not mad. The latter helps you understand what's going on better and then you can work on regulating yourself from there

I do. Not as often as I'd like sometimes. I treat it like I'm writing a letter to someone who doesn't exist. It helps me vent whatever I've been struggling with, or take some pride in the things that have gone right for me. I feel weird talking about stuff like that with friends and family, so this gives me an empty void to talk into without worry of judgement. I started doing it a while ago after going through some therapy and it's been the one thing that's actually helped post-therapy. My journal lives in a Linux partition on my main PC through an encrypted file that has a different password than any I use elsewhere. No one that has access to that computer can navigate how I have Linux set up, nor would they know how to go through the terminal to decrypt the file. These protections are in place to ensure that no one sees anything they shouldn't. If you do journal, I recommend taking similar precautions, but I'm also not mentally well and paranoid to boot, so grain of salt and all that

Please no, I can't handle anymore heartbreak like that!

For real though, I'd be super excited to see more, especially as someone who hasn't and won't play the game

Well this is strange, I actually own that book IRL lol. I got it when I got my kitten and my AR-15, seemed like some smart reading. If you actually dig in, it's a ton of propaganda, but it's more fun if you just treat it as satyrical

I imagine we're going to see a lot of postings for jobs with salary ranges from $1 - $999,999

More so marvels punisher, but good try

Ideally it wouldn't be an additional browser, but a replacement. I'm fine with completely text based web browsing

Is that really all that bad of a thing? For the most part, your web browser choice is Firefox, or some chromium garbage. If there was more on Gemini, I'd switch completely and ditch the world wide web

Sorry for the late reply, sync doesn't seem to be handling reply notifications very well at the moment. In theory, you could power this display through something like an Arduino. For something like this, you'll want to use the driver board to control the display. The data sheet goes into a lot of detail about how the display works using the serial input and explains a good bit how the signal would be interpreted. The hard part is going to be handling the translation between what you want displayed and what the display needs to receive to show it. That's where your homeworks going to be. I'm more of an old school hobbyist who never graduated to microcontrollers. The Arduino is going to handle the translation for you, but I don't know enough arduino-fu to be helpful there. I'd recommend looking into using an Arduino with similar displays to see how other people do it, and then ruthlessly cannibalizing their code to fit with your needs.

If you have any other questions along the way, feel free to send a message my way. I can't guarantee I'll have the answer, but I'm happy to lend my experience where applicable. Best of luck to you bud!

Tell them to message me, I'm down for their survey
