paranoid linux sadgirl with imposter syndrome
that’s called having a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact and living in the US where they shut down all the 3g towers and all the carriers, including MVNOs, blacklisted its VoLTE capability >:[
—passive aggressively typed on the dinner plate of a phone that i had to replace my nice tiny XZ2c with
something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike one single book :]
Cannery Row by Steinbeck
Steinbeck’s style is incredibly immersive. It has the perfect balance of illustrative/poetic/flowery descriptions and cerebral/analytical language. I love the characters and their antics, and how relatably they’re written. I can identify with their feelings and motives even though I’m the furthest thing from a bunch of 1930’s Californians.
My mom bought it for me to take on my high school band trip to San Francisco (which involved a long flight and some long bus rides). I think I remember more about the book than I do the trip :)
Ratchet & Clank Kerwan Metropolis is a nostalgia bop
looking forward to the day Oddysee isn’t mainly alt right weirdness (I’m not a fan) and tinfoil hat level privacy nerds (I am a fan, but I have other interests too…)
I tried tapping the top area of a comment. It displays a gray bar as click feedback but doesn’t seem to collapse anything. Am I just being a noob?
Edit: updating fixed it :]
I would say start with hobby-based circles. Look for local events and meetups (concerts, games, hobby shop events, etc.) as a way to meet people.
If you happen to like TTRPGs, in my experience that’s a fast track to very close friendships that tend to have the deeper level of connection you’re describing. My guess is because TTRPGs require good communication, the comeraderie tends to come naturally faster than any other given group of people. It’s never a guarantee, but it’s certainly worth a try if you’re already into tabletop games or are curious to get into them
I hope you find excellent homies ASAP, wherever you find them :]
I was also having the Jerboa startup crashes starting yesterday. Version 0.0.35 fixed it for me (it’s not on vanilla F-Droid yet but it is on the IzzyOnDroid repo)
