I’m certainly not naive enough to ignore that this happens. I do personally believe that these people are outliers and not the rule. But I talk with people who are misdiagnosed all the time. I personally have bipolar with a trend towards mania, and I talk with people who tell me they’re bipolar often enough and they don’t meet the requirements for the diagnosis at all.

And lastly, the stigma of mental illness is fading which is great, but what isn’t is people are self diagnosing themselves left right and center. They then use this self diagnosis as a crutch. Which in my belief is the opposite of what a diagnosis should be, a tool to help you improve your life

I mean I think that part of it is the loss of connection in the digital age.

The improved quality of diagnosis.

I also think that we may be misdiagnosing people who aren’t able to have the resources to survive as depressed. Like “huh you’re sad all the time and constantly stressed, gotta be depression and not that you have to work 2 jobs to live in a shithole and be one car accident from losing your home” I say this not as someone who wants to dismiss depression, but as someone who works with mentally ill addicts and sees that a lot of people are perhaps not chemically depressed but situationally, and they’re never given a chance to leave the situation.

It depends where you live.

If in the USA, then you’re fucked. VOLTE is required for calls and no one really seemingly has this concretely working.

If you’re in Europe, possibly other parts of the world (I shamefully don’t know as much about their cellular configs) you can pick up a one plus 6t and put Linux on it. There’s sailfish, postmarketos, or mobian. Good luck

I mean, yes and no.

I have two childhood best friends, we all talk every day. We’re in our thirties now and in some ways have sharply diverted. I had a kid, one got married and a vasectomy immediately after. And the other is still a bachelor who enjoys time alone. However we’re all still working in Tech, we all still hold the same values for work life balance, we all still would be considered far left, and we all love each other and are very much there for one another

Voice over LTE, meaning in the USA we don’t have 3g anymore so the phone has to support voice over LTE

Shocker. I do however wonder what prevents someone from downloading and installing the apk to their phone. Am I wrong in believing this is a real way to bypass them leaving a market?

I mean someone’s gotta be in charge of MDMA, and or Ketamine at those therapy places. I do love the idea of someone coming to my desk for 1 drug please

Oddly I’ve only tried MDMA a few times and it never really worked. There’s some anecdotal evidence that it doesn’t work for those with bipolar which I do have, that might be the one drug I could be in charge of with no temptation actually

Not yet.

I probably could, but I’m also a recovering drug addict and my partner is pretty hesitant about a second device as it’s another way to hide things. However I’m the head of the MDM team so I’m not really nervous about what the company can see

I mean yeah honestly probably the best, but I’ll take any chance to rant against the idea of walled garden tech

No doubt. I’ve gotten to the point where I have like 6 apps on my phone and it’s in lockdown mode on iOS. And I’d be on grapheneOS if I wasn’t required to use iOS for work.

And this is why having 3rd party app stores is important. It’s why it matters that Google is killing side loading, if two fucking companies get to decide what you can do on your phone, we’re in a bad spot technology wise

What sucks is in the USA you need VOLTE for the phone to work, and I’ve not found a phone that clearly supports it

This is maybe a dumbass idea but god I wish a blackberry was still possible in the USA

Waiting for sailfish OS ports to get VOLTE working, I’d love to use a oneplus 6t with sailfish in the US

Honestly signal, I however don’t usually share anon outside of torrents

I misread this as immortality and was immediately curious what they knew that I don’t

Hell no, I was far more popular out of school, I went to a small private school and was the poor kid there. I was also mentally ill and and addict, so at a Christian school I was reviled. However in my neighborhood and other areas I was well liked and did well socially.

Now I’m sober, and mentally stable and would say I’m popular within our recovery community

Welp, it’s over folks.

It was, I read that like a beautifully worded rebuttal. And yeah once you’re really in that subculture you kind of learn to buy and sell and it mostly washes out as a free hobby. I buy a handful of lower end shit on Aliexpress during a sale, get to try stuff out, put Cfw on it and sell for a small profit, I then use those profits to buy other shit
