Good things that I experienced after leaving algorithmic Facebook, Instagram, Google, Snapchat, and YouTube:

1. I'm back to reading books.

2. More focus and attention in my life.

3. Less anxiety attacks.

4. No doomscrolling.

5. No reels addiction.

6. Better tasks achievements

7. Way less purchases from online shops.

The latest version v6.4.0 of the open-source application "Color Ramp Formulator" is now available, fixing an odd bug: the "Apply Color Map" child window would not open when the application was unpackaged.

Is it #weird I don't like the #fact that I turned 30 a couple years back?

Does anyone have #midlife #crisis #points in their lives anymore?

I still don't #feel I'm over 25.

I #think #age is just a number but the more I'm #forced to prove I'm over 18, the less I feel like I am #confident with the age #bracket I fit into.

And it's not because I would get #specialized #attention or because I don't. But because, I don't want to #remember looking back and #appreciating the #future that feels more #distant than ever now. Especially when considering that I didn't know back then I would have come to #exist as me today.

I #hate #government #reminding me how untrustworthy it thinks I am because of its #algorithmic priorities that are so far above and beyond mine, that it's laughable, totally absurd and absolutely #real sad to say.

I miss my 20 something #self really bad.
