nah I found cannabis to be counterproductive in my case. It was never only a "tinge" of paranoia. It always comes up in bouts. And it was a slippery slope. I'd often keep getting distracted with other things like YouTube, games and social media to keep the anxiety and paranoia away.

Took a while to kick it out.

Re:It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox on Thursday November 23, 2023 @01:03AM (#38389849)
This. FF and DDG work so well together that I hardly notice any downsides moving to it. DDG is my default search engine now and I rarely use google for sports updates. That's it.
I moved from Reddit's official App to Apollo about 2 months ago because of huge battery drain and haven't looked back since.
Re:Harvard: The Effects of Noise on Health on Tuesday April 25, 2023 @02:14AM (#35697100)
Add to it the ridiculous sounding honks in trucks and other big vehicles, it really is causing a huge menace. I literally have PTSD for several honks we have over here in India.

Very strange that the Government here that is proud of its Bharat Stage(BS) regulations, does not factor in regulations for honks and the noise pollution that it is causing by and large!

Check these links. Might be useful. Some of them are paid but are worth it. :)

Ohh,I had too many problems with the unstable distribution. I guess I'll wait then for the stable build then. Thanks!

Does it come for Linux Distros too?

> It would be much better if that question could go directly to my friends who have lived in the area I speak for.

Good point that. Adding real-time photos and location details to a particular query can go a long way.

The desktop web is still being used, yes, but then the use-case of Jelly seems to focus more towards hand held devices to ask queries on the go. :)

I'm primarily a PHP person. New to Ruby. Didn't want to restrict it to a particular domain. That's why didn't include my tech capability. :-) Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks! Will surely look into it. :)
Lovely :)

Re:That's a fun trick Google on Monday November 25, 2013 @12:51PM (#6795588)
LOL.
Woah! Didn't know about this at all.
Yeah, true. OP expresses his concern over Facebook's ad revenue system, the clutter it creates and how it spoils his entire Social Network experience. Path, on the other hand gives a user a rich and a personal experience. I guess that's the trade-off there. For getting recommendations based on location and interests, I use Circle(discovercircle.com). Works fine for me. :-)
I find Path(www.path.com) to be promising. Pretty neat and intuitive.

Brilliant stuff! Would've been better if it had the names of the places. Kinda like a virtual globe. ;)
