The moment has come and he retired very quietly. None of the tennis greats have attended, nor did he have a great send off video. The final on-court interview wasn't in English either.

Tbh I liked this way tho. It was very simple and I would have cried hella lot had it been done like the Roger Federer's retirement. I got to watch him fight for one last time and his fighting spirit was shown again in 2nd set. Thank you Rafa for the memories.

This interaction of Okarun not to interact with a girl who really talked with him literally a day before, is something I used to do or maybe even now.

So what is this behaviour? Introversion? Social anxiety? Shyness?

I enjoyed the scene because it's relatable but also it got me thinking why do I react the same way.

Did you relate to this scene? Did you grow-out of that phase of ignoring girls unless they interact?

(I know all of this little cringe to make a post upon, I'll delete this if it doesn't fit here)

I have quit ranked/competitive gaming and do only casual gaming whenever I get some interest. Honestly I was happy that I've quit gaming as a whole because it was a real addiction. Countless number of times I have uninstalled games only to get so tempted that I would download them again despite them taking 1hr to install.

From that kind of situation to come to this situation where I only play whenever I want to, is a great progress I felt I have made. I have got lots of time on me as expected, but I don't spend it wisely and infact in more "brain-off" fashion eg scrolling, chatting on discord, youtube etc.

Now I feel whenever I come across anything that needs my brain to be spent upon, I feel so reluctant to do high brain activity. I feel there's lot more difficulty concentrating and being patient with my task.

Is this because I have quit gaming? (sounds crazy I know) that my brain has become rather less active than usual?

I recently come across a random study on surgeons that game a bit during the week are doing better at their job than the ones who don't game. Not sure how of it is true but I sure have come across concepts like gaming keeps your brain active and make you perform.

Take this entire assumption as a grain of salt because I haven't done any huge experiments nor do I have any conclusive evidence but a small hunch that I just came across. I just wanted to know your experiences after you quit gaming.

I just want to extract text from images accurately. That's it.

(I know many of you already know it but this incident I experienced made me so paranoid about using smartphones)

To start off, I'm not that deep into privacy rabbit hole but I do as much I can possibly to be private on my phone. But for the rest of phones in my family, I generally don't care because they are not tech savvy and pushing them towards privacy would make their lives hard.

So, the other day I pirated a movie for my family and since it was on Netflix, it was a direct rip with full HD. I was explaining to my family how this looks so good as this is an direct rip off from the Netflix platform, and not a recording of a screening in a cinema hall(camrip). It was a small 2min discussion in my native language with only English words used are record, piracy and Netflix.

Later I walk off and open YouTube, and I see a 2 recommendations pop-up on my homepage, "How to record Netflix shows" & "Why can't you screen record Netflix". THE WHAT NOW. I felt insanely insecure as I was sure never in my life I looked this shit up and it was purely based on those words I just spoke 5min back.

I am pretty secure on my device afaik and pretty sure all the listening happened on other devices in my family. Later that day, I went and saw which all apps had microphone access, moved most of them to Ask everytime and disabled Google app which literally has all the permissions enabled.

Overall a scary and saddening experience as this might be happening to almost everyone and made me feel it the journey I took to privacy-focused, all worth it.

Why YSK: I have seeing been a lot of general posts on various communities where they don't belong. There is a perfect community for this.

Posts like:

"Feels like I am spending less time on social media after joining lemmy" on ShowerThoughts community. This is a not a shower thought. This is more of a general thought which belongs in [email protected]

"This is not a shitpost but I am loving lemmy" on lemmyshitpost community. This is not even a thought sharing community yet it has been posted and been upvoted to frontpage. This belongs in [email protected] too.

I hope the moderators of all communities tighten up a bit and help posts go where they belong.

PS: Over multiple accounts

With Wimbledon starting today, I can feel this community could getting a bit of traction. We should pump up the activity here as much as possible using this Wimbledon as the catalyst to grow. Keep talking tennis!

That being said, Novak gonna wipe the floor again this time.

I heard about all the ways that you can do this with shreddit, redact, power delete suite etc but heard users say that their content just respawned days later. With only a day left before api change, I need a proper way to edit and delete my content on reddit.
