@bx if you're curious, one of them is https://liberapay.com/aloo_shu, who literally lives in an abandoned village on like, 500 euros per year
his style is doing things in a highly self-sustained way, but also does extremely lo-fi computing from second-hand tablet someone threw out taht he put termux on (which is how i met him in fact)
he likes to sit in irc because he managed to get like, 50MB of data per month, and it's a way to really just maximize the socialization you can do with such a low limit
@bx based on the existence of the tech-hermits i know of, it's fun how likely this actually is
@cinnamon oh! good wake~
@noiob hahahah wowww
@bx hahaha, exactly!
(you are so good at this wtf)
@bx the phone with nine lives~
@cinnamon these rule!
i know this is literally just mindfulness, but it turns out for me, that extends far beyond just the circumstantial ways that i've always assumed to which it only applies
or like, having a sip of coffee! i don't know the last time i really paid any actual attention to that entire experience. it's just become a "thing that i do" while some tiny part of my subconscious brain acknowledges that "cofe gud"
like, if i'm in the shower and i turn up the temperature just sliiightly more than warm, everyone seems to acknowledge that feels nice, right? but it's actually amazing how much that appreciation changes if i actually pay attention to it, and not just casually disassociate the entire time
something i've been doing recently is really trying to pay attention to things i take for granted
turns out a lot of extremely mundane things are actually incredible, but my brain just backgrounds them; ignoring how mind-bogglingly satisfying they are because of how "expected" they've come to be
i've literally robbed myself of this appreciation for so long that i forgot it existed--things that, if you you mentioned them to others they'd probably roll their eyes because they're doing the same
@cinnamon i feel like anything that you can get self-conscious about is worth it tbh
because that's basically just a low-key indicator that you actually want to do the thing, but are stopping yourself

@cinnamon i like how both of you got ink armor too
something i'm literally going to rehearse saying out loud
