  • It’s an Android setting. Assuming you’re in the US, you can disable all warning channels (including Amber alerts) except the National one, which I believe has to be on by law, but is only supposed to be used in apocalypse level emergencies. The Hawaii thing was triggered by accident, iirc.

    On my S24, it’s in Settings > Safety and Emergency > Wireless Emergency Alerts.

    I don’t know if it’s even possible to disable the National warnings, but you’d likely have to use adb or root your phone to do it.




  • The amount of anxiety I’d get just posting comments on reddit was insane. I’d spend a stupid amount of time rereading and editing my comment, and then there was still probably a 50% chance I’d discard it anyway. On Lemmy, after an adjustment period, it’s much easier. I don’t think I realized how hostile and toxic a lot of online spaces really are.







  • So I took a look as I’m always looking for good FOSS alternatives to apps that I use. I’m super stoked about this app! I don’t have a baby to track anymore, but we are planning on kid #2, and an app that doesn’t require anything is a plus.

    The first thing I see that you might want to change is that the button to start/stop the feeding timer needs to be big. Like really fucking big. When I was nursing I was starting my timer one-handed and I have small hands as it is. My kid also wasn’t the best at nursing, so I’d often spend a lot of time in the beginning getting him positioned/latched. I could see the “small” button being a problem.




  • My depression and intrusive thoughts actually got worse during the redditpocalypse. But that was, at least in part, coincidental. A lot of life stress stuff started happening at the same time, and my usual coping mechanism for when things would become too much (scrolling through reddit) was seeing a rapid drop in quality. After approaching a new low, the stressful stuff started subsiding, and things are mostly better now. There are some aspects about yourself that you can’t change, but you do ultimately choose how you react to, cope with, and manage these issues. I will have depression and ADHD for the rest of my life, I but I can choose to manage things in such a way (taking more time for myself, having a better diet, being more active, etc.) that these “attacks” are less frequent.
