    Internalizing those thoughts on yourself I’d say apathy and avolition. If you’re actively worried about people not caring about you, its more loneliness and self shame mixed with general anxiety.

    This isn’t necessarily what one ought to tell a depressed person, but I believe to some degree it’s actually kinda true. Like, people act like they care but very few people genuinely want to help others through their depression. It’s rough. The isolation is self perpetuating. But who can blame other people, they have their own issues to deal with, they don’t need to handle your burdens on top of that.

    That said, some people do actually genuinely care and it might be hard to tell at first. But, as cliche as it is, you’ve gotta care about yourself first. Which is also hard because there is that voice in your head telling you that you suck and nobody will ever love you. Or that you’d be better off if you swerve into that oncoming truck. When you wake up, when you’re trying to fall asleep. When you make a mistake. When you do something well but you can’t even accept that win because reasons. That voice is there.

    Figuring out how to block that voice, or overcome it long enough that you can enjoy little things is a first step. It doesn’t get easy, but it will get easier.

    Starting in June 2023 and Chrome 115, Google “may run experiments to turn off support for Manifest V2 extensions in all channels, including stable channel.” Also starting in June, the Chrome Web Store will stop accepting Manifest V2 extensions, and they’ll be hidden from view. In January 2024, Manifest V2 extensions will be removed from the store entirely.

    Google says Manifest V3 is “one of the most significant shifts in the extensions platform since it launched a decade ago.” The company claims that the more limited platform is meant to bring “enhancements in security, privacy, and performance.” Privacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) dispute this description and say that if Google really cared about the security of the extension store, it could just police the store more actively using actual humans instead of limiting the capabilities of all extensions.

    The big killer for ad block extensions comes from changes to the way network request modifications work. Google says that “rather than intercepting a request and modifying it procedurally, the extension asks Chrome to evaluate and modify requests on its behalf.” Chrome’s built-in solution forces ad blockers and privacy extensions to use the primitive solution of a raw list of blocked URLs rather than the dynamic filtering rules implemented by something like uBlock Origin. That list of URLs is limited to 30,000 entries, whereas a normal ad block extension can come with upward of 300,000 rules.













  • Being able to use Google maps (which is constantly updated, integrated with my contacts, and actually had a UI/UX team design it’s interface) on the tablet sized vehicle display and car stereo system, in addition to whatever music apps, is pretty nice. As well as Google search via steering wheel controls for managing navigation.

    Yeah, I could play stuff with Bluetooth or use the integrated GPS system but the quality of audio is noticably worse and the GPS is absolutely shit but nice to have in a pinch.

    Honestly idk what other apps integrate with AA, music and directions pretty much do the trick for me.
