Glad to hear Brave isn't awful. I haven't tried it as I'm trying to avoid Chrome entirely for now.

I've been using IceRaven/Mull on a very old (out of support) LG phone, and I'm not sure I entirely understand the "pauses" thing? I don't see meaningful pauses when I switch tabs, other than the page reloading if it was purged from RAM. But like. That happens in Safari on iOS on a brand new phone, too, so it's not entirely an Android-specific complaint.

Honestly, all mobile browsers are UI train-wrecks of one kind or another. For me it was this exact process of elimination to decide which I like least, and then from there deciding which inflict the fewest paper cuts. For me, FF sync (settings mostly, but also tab sets) was more important than whatever memory problems Mozilla rebrands might have. :(

I don't follow the rules only because I don't drive at all. Otherwise, yes, you are correct, I don't follow rules which endanger my life. Just weird that way.

I love how the meme assumes everyone trusts everyone else's driving. Utopian ideals, man.

Indeed, I'm on Mbin, and I should've specified. I can definitely do textual feedback (matrix), I was just thinking GitHub or some other ticketing system was involved. (I can use them, too, not a big deal, I just don't have a lot of energy, so. I try to use it constructively where I can. :)

PieFed API explosions: yiiiikes, that sounds really unfun for the time being!

I'd be willing, though I'm still on Android 12, and am not a terribly heavy user. Do you have any specific requirements you're targeting? What kind of bug reports/tickets were you wanting to generate, if any?

Edit: ah, I see in another thread it's probably "lemmy-only", which counts me out. Bummer.

I've tried off and on, myriad types and duration for over a decade, not just for my ADHD, but because I'm a seriously anxious person with some complex-af PTSD. But also because doctors kept harping on me for not "doing enough mindfulness".

I tried a minute a day for several months after three was too much, but only made it through 30 days before I had to stop even that.

This is especially true for people with PTSD/cPTSD/depression/AuADHD, but if meditation makes your mental health worse, don't keep doing it. Seriously. Talk to someone about it.

For me, it makes everything worse. I feel like this is something people should know to watch out for, especially in the modern times of "mindfulness" being tossed around like it's a positive for everyone. It isn't. Some of us spend way too much time ruminating as it is, and need to spend more time working on how we think rather than how much.

A really good suggestion (which won't have the desired result for everyone).

Personally, I find meditating makes my anxiety really bad. Like almost immediately. I wish I was joking, but I'm not, I've tried all kinds, guided, monaural, free-form...sitting with my thoughts is just really bad for my mental health, oddly.

Every therapist and GP I've mentioned this to has laughed and said, "yeah, that's one thing they don't tell you, meditation and self-care aren't synonymous for everyone. For some it will make things much worse, especially if you try to force it. If that's the case, don't do it any more."

For me, trying to combat the negative self-talk and bad thought patterns is so much more helpful than sitting down and forcing myself to be still when that's the last thing my body and mind want to do.

Oh yeah. I'm diagnosed with adhd and waiting is actually physically painful, which isn't something most people understand, I guess?
