I made some awesome banana pudding for $6 last night, but for some reason Librem Social won't let me post a picture. How sad. But I assure you, it was delicious

I cut caffeine off about a week ago (going from a lot of sodas per day to zero), and had no issues. Even felt slightly better, and it seemed to help my natural sleep cycle, cause I can wake up earlier and feel better.

Then I tried to cut off sugary foods, and it has been HARD. Especially since there are always a lot of cookies at work, and a gas station within walking distance with lots of candy. But worse, I've had this hunger that won't get satisfied till I have a sugary drink or something.

Yesterday, me and my coworker were discussing philosophy (specifically, the convo started with me saying that "I think, therefore I am" is stupid). We ended up talking about the nature of sentience and free will for about an hour, and it made me realize how much I miss having someone to discuss philosophy with at odd times.

In a plot twist for apple, the iPhone XR (the cheapest of the newer iPhones) is their best selling one by far. Apple was surprised to learn this, claiming "Money? Money money money money?" This is believed to be translated to "What? People won't spend whatever we want them to on the best specs?", but our resident Apple translator was sick and possibly hungover, so we can't be sure.

I would love to have a FOSS programming IDE for android, since most of my time is spent away from my computer. I would need to edit .rs (Rust) files (with syntax highlighting), and maybe .c, .cpp, and .h. Ideally one that could sync with git would be lovely. Is there any such thing before I put myself even further behind on my projects writing one?

Dear mr. Dr. Prof. Sir Lunduke the Wise,

What steps do you think LBRY would need to take before it could be a major youtube competitor? I am concerned that one thing they might need is ad revenue, because one of the major upsides to YouTube is that viewers can (sometimes) support channels financially just by watching their videos. Do you think the built in "send a tip" feature would be a viable replacement for content creators?

P.S. I use Artix (which is basically Arch with OpenRC)

Just watched the Linux Gamer's video on "Stop Theming My App". He makes a comparison how, if distros started repackaging ffmpeg to work in different ways, everyone would freak out, and that it's the same with GTK3 apps. The big issue with this is that it would only make sense, if every ffmpeg competitor had established that distro specific changes were normal. In every GTK3 competitor I know of, theming is the established standard.
