- Is there a way to get an atom version of the “for-you” feed? I’m guessing this is complicated by needing to be authenticated.

replied to:

Exactly, it makes it way more complicated that's why it's not there yet. Not against the idea though.

对于整个互联网历史，我可说基本上是一个旁观者，我一直在消费内容，但是没有生产过什么内容，互联网上没有我的痕迹，这是意外后果，因为中国的身份和内容政策

Regarding the entire history of the internet, I can say I've been largely an observer. I've always consumed content, but I haven't produced any. There's no trace of me on the internet, which is an unforeseen consequence due to China's identity and content policies.

我不太明白中国的“防火长城”是怎么运作的。比如说，你到底是怎么访问这个网站的？（我是在通过翻译软件和你交流。）

I don't quite understand how China's "Great Firewall" works. For example, how exactly did you access this website? (I'm communicating with you through translation software.)

Hmm, its a ticking time bomb then.... what do you need to say and need help with?

If anyone can give me a ProtonMail or Tutanota email account, I would be extremely grateful. I have no way to receive verification codes.

replied to:

I've received it. Unfortunately, I'm in China and can't access ProtonMail, but I still want to say thank you very much.

As a homeless person without an ID, I don't have any way to pay for a VPN. Also, using a VPN to access the internet in China without government permission is illegal.

Genuinely, I’m grateful we have such great choices when it comes to programming languages.

It’s just sad the whole corporate world runs on Java, Python, C++, C#, and JavaScript so I just look in envy at what I could be using

moved to a new city recently and going to a Movie club meetup tonight. nervous cause I'm a huge introvert but I gotta make friends some way.

replied to:

How did it go?

replied to:

It went really well, thanks for asking! I met some folks I could definitely get along with long term and had some overlapping interests apart from films. We watched T**** Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, that was a trip. (there's apparently a content filter)

Tried some after a long time again today. Couldn’t hold my thoughts for 15 seconds. I used to be able to and blank my mind for 5 to 10 minutes. Need to practice again, I remember how beneficial it was to my when I did it in the past.

replied to:

I've heard it said that every moment you realize your mind has been wandering is a moment of clarity. So uhhh.... a moment of clarity every 15 seconds sounds pretty good :grin:

replied to:

Mind should not wander. Mind should obey. :p

Personally, I think I found good framework/vocabulary to help with meditation in some discussion by Jiddu Krishnamurti. Here is one in which he works it out with kids There was a short, to the point lecture where he basically walks you through observing thought, which profoundly changed how I approach meditation but I can't find it for the life of me!

replied to:

I'm in a similar spot. I haven't maintained a regular practice since I had kids. I can observe the absence of the benefits I got from my practice, too. I'm more reactive and less focused in general. I think that my practice gave me the tools I need to stay present with my daughters, though, so I'm grateful for having retained that.

I recently made a 10 foot sailboat and took it on a fifty-mile adventure in the Salish Sea. I can still feel the way the wind pushed the boat over the water. I kept imagining the way that our progress was the sum of the vectors of wind, current, and gravity.

replied to:

Sailing feels amazing. Wind, current, and gravity are pretty good analogies for our path in life. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your future sailing trips.
