Maybe I’m wrong then, but I just kinda assumed that when I log into some government platform by scanning my ID with an official app all it does is it confirms my identity and sends some kinda encrypted token to the api of whatever platform I’m trying to access.

Although if that’s not the case then yea, I guess that wouldn’t be very anonymous either.

my id has an nfc chip built in, I can scan it with my phone to confirm my identity. if only online services could implement an identity check that way.

the three humors

I can play some Zelda songs on the piano, not very well, but I enjoy it

was it perhaps the first episode of the show Testament - The Bible in animation titled: Creation and the Flood?

it seems pretty close to your description

so the numerals we used actually originate from India, first they got adopted by Arabic mathematicians who then brought them to Europe where people started mistakenly calling them “Arabic numerals”

I’m using Valve Index, slime vr trackers and a giggletech puck. I guess it’s possible to get all of that to run on Linux but it’s probably going to be a pain to set up.

my biggest concern is getting vr to work on Linux reliably. if not for that I’d have switched long ago.

God I hope not. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone

I’m kinda aware of my perfectionism and I’m trying to do things regardless of it, but I just can’t stop thinking about all my flaws, real or not. Wherever I am I’m constantly thinking about what others may think of me and I know it’s bs and most people don’t give a shit about me but I just can’t help it. It’s like I’m just unable to do anything for myself anymore, no matter what I do I’m always thinking of other people’s opinion and hoping someone would praise me for what I do. I’ve been nothing but constantly criticized by people around me and I no longer know if I do things correctly, because most of the time I get told I’m wrong.

the worst part is that even though I’ve been working on myself for the past two years with therapy and meds I still feel like a complete failure.

this shit never ends

2 hits home for me. I always feel like I don’t deserve to be loved because I hate everything about myself and until I fix it I deserve to be alone.

I just dropped my 600 streak in duolingo because it just made me feel like clicking through a chore instead of putting genuine effort into learning a language. I’m looking into some alternatives now
