As a Linux User, I Needed to Download Windows for Someone and It Was Frustrating

During the installation, I kept running into different loading screens that took forever. It was incredibly annoying. The whole process was so slow, constantly downloading things and asking unnecessary questions. On top of that, I couldn’t even continue without signing into a Microsoft account. It was a terrible experience, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Ucuz Americanom ve mutsuz ben

Ne yazsam bilmiyorum ama son zamanlarda içimi dökmek birileri ile paylaşma isteğim vardı. Ben çok çevresine dert yanan biri değilim kendi içimde yaşarım hep ama son zamanlarda hiç olmadığı kadar kötüyüm. Durumu fark edip psikiyatriye gittim ve ilaca da başladım ama içimdeki stresi, kaygıyı ve depresyonu atamadım yine de. Ki ben iş bulup kendi evime çıkana kadar da sıkıntılarımın geçmeyeceği kesin.

Üniversitemden geçen temmuz mezun oldum. Ailem mezun olduğum ikinci günü aile evine döndüğümde iş bul diye baskı yapmaya başlamıştı ve aradan aylar geçti şuan baskılar çok daha kötü kırıntı gibi yaşıyorum tek kuruş onlardan almadan.

Aile evi benim için yaşanılmaz ve katlanılmaz bir seviyede. Stresin, kavganın ve huzursuzluğun eksik olmadığı korkunç bir ortam. Psikiyatriye gitmemde etkisi büyük çünkü huzursuzluklardan anksiyete atakları geçirmeye başlamıştım hala da bunun için ilaç kullanıyorum.

Bu sorunlarımın mezuniyet ve iş ile alakalı kısmı. Ayrıca son zamanlarda çocukluk travmalarımı da yoğun yaşıyorum aştığımı sandığım her şey şuan üstüme üstüme geliyor bütün yaşadığım korkunç deneyimler.

OKB hastalığımın da bu ruminasyon düşüncelerimde etkisi büyük. Üniversitede daha kontrol altındaydı rahatsızlığım kötülenmesin diye 4 yıl aile evine yazları dışında dönmedim. Şuan burada olmam her şeyi daha da kötüleştiriyor. Gün geçtikçe gerçeklikten kopuyorum kendimi kaybediyorum.

Kendimi toparlamam ve şehir dışında iş aramaya ve ayrı eve çıkmam lazım. Ailem bu konularda maddi açıdan sıfır destekler. Uygun kira bulabileceğim ve beni idare edecek maaşlı bir işe ihtiyacım var.

Mezun olduğum bölümü aile zoruyla seçtim. Benim hayallerim başkaydı ama işsiz kalırsın diyerek engel oldular keşke sevdiğim bölümü okusaydım diyorum. Okuduğum bölümü yapamıyor değilim hatta iyiyim de baya ama ben ömrümü bu meslekte geçirmek de istemiyorum.

Fazla bile konuştum sadece içimi dökmek ve başka insanlarla paylaşmak istedim. Bunu gerçek hayatta kimseye yapamıyorum yapabileceğim insan çok ama yapmayı sevmiyorum. Bugün benim için bir istisna oldu bugün burada bunu yazarak. Kahvem de şimdi bitti yazmayı da burada bırakıyorum.

[Misc] Is a truly physiological moisturizer possible?

The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of our skin, is mainly composed of corneocytes and a lipid matrix. The lipid matrix itself consists of ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids, while the Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) inside corneocytes include components like urea, sodium PCA, and amino acids.

On top of that, squalane is basically a stabilized, non-comedogenic version related to our skin’s natural sebum.

So my question is: wouldn’t a moisturizer formulated mainly with lipids + NMF components + squalane theoretically be the safest and most universally compatible option for most people?

Is such a formulation actually possible, and does a moisturizer like this already exist? If it does, I’d genuinely love to try it.

[Personal] The skincare industry is nothing but a marketing playground and a dumpster fire

Products are not transparent at all. Labels are completely marketing-driven, yet none of them are clear about their ingredients, and most of their claimed benefits are not scientifically proven. The whole industry is a mess. Some cleansers actually damage the skin more because of pH imbalance and heavy fragrance, and many moisturizers do nothing for the skin barrier.

When choosing my skincare products, the first things I look for are whether they support the skin barrier and whether they are harmless to the microbiome. I make my decisions based on the skin’s natural physiology. For cleansers, an ideal pH, gentle surfactants, and basic moisturizing support are enough. Active ingredients only really make sense in leave-on products. I also find the use of active ingredients in moisturizers somewhat pointless, since brands usually don’t disclose the percentages and their effectiveness becomes questionable. I mainly just pay attention to whether they contain ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids.

For sunscreen, all I care about is high quality and a comfortable finish with no unpleasant feel on the skin. Sunscreens are absolutely critical for preventing almost every skin-related issue, so performance is the only thing that really matters to me there. If I ever develop a specific skin concern, I prefer to address it only with targeted serums, which I think is the most functional and logical approach.

The products I personally use and why:

Cleanser:
Bepanthol Derma – Gentle surfactants and a good pH level, nothing fancy.

Moisturizer:
CeraVe Lotion – The only decent ceramide option in my opinion. I might try G&G Happier Barrier at some point, but CeraVe is simply cheaper.

Sunscreen:
Avene Intense Protect – Large size and good price/performance ratio. I’m satisfied with it.

Lips:
Bepanthol Repair Ointment and Bepanthol SPF30 Stick – I use them because they contain petrolatum and panthenol, and they work well for my lips. I normally want Eucerin Aquaphor, but it's not sold in our country; as an alternative, I use this since it has similar ingredients.

Right now, I don’t have any skin issues, so I’m not using any active serums at the moment. In my basic skincare routine, I only prefer products that help optimize and support the skin. However, I’ll probably add a retinal serum soon, and I don’t feel the need for any other active ingredients besides that since most of them are marketing ingredients. If retinal ends up damaging my skin barrier, I’ll just add niacinamide or panthenol.

Can't I use Fedora to install GrapheneOS on my Pixel 9a?

It will be my first time using a custom ROM on my phone. Do I really have to use those operating systems?

I think the Goddess was actually a demon mage who lived during the mythical era. I’ll present the main reasons that led me to this idea.

Reason 1: A passage from manga Chapter 108
“According to the memoirs of the great mage Flamme… there is a world of difference between the magic of demons and the magic of humans. The magic of the demon race, with its superior talent, is said to have made even experienced wizards say… that it was like ‘magic’ from a fairy tale.”

As mentioned in this part of the manga, demon magic is far beyond human magic systems and includes types of magic that cannot be explained or proven through human understanding like Zart’s “spatial teleportation” spell.

These descriptions also align with Goddess magic. Compared to human magic, Goddess magic resembles something out of a fairy tale. Frieren’s time leap is also a form of Goddess magic, and it’s still something that the human magic system cannot analyze.

From this, I infer that Goddess magic might actually be demon magic from the mythical era.

Reason 2: Based on Chapter 120
As time passes, the portrayal of legendary figures changes. For example, Flamme is depicted as a middle-aged man, and even within just 80 years, Himmel comes to be portrayed as a middle-aged, aristocratic-looking figure.

This part of the manga may be hinting that the Goddess’s image could have changed over time as well. Rather than worshipping a figure with a demonic appearance, people may have reshaped her image according to their own beliefs.

In short, I think the Goddess might actually be a demon. The manga could be setting up a plot twist like this.

Daha önce hiç ikinci el telefon almadım. Ayrıca Türkiye'de resmi satışı olmadığından tümü yurtdışından. Alırken nelere dikkat etmeliyim? Tavsiyeye çok ihtiyacım var. Google Pixel almamın sebebi de GrapheneOS kurabilmek.

Currently, I've chosen each service from separate providers. But this has started to frustrate me at some point. Email with Tuta, email masking with Addy, passwords with Bitwarden, cloud storage with Filen, notes with Notesnook...

Although this approach is much better on the privacy spectrum than a decentralized setup, I'm torn about whether to switch to the Proton ecosystem or not. I want some convenience now—I don't want to keep dealing with this. I'm not sure if, once I switch, I'll just end up using Proton applications entirely.
