living alone can be mentally exhausting

How?

I have a family in a village like that. But I don't know if that's still the case.

First it was uncle chuckling at my dad when he locked his car.
Then a neighbor came there telling my uncle his (uncle's) car was in front of his gate, and he wanted to leave with his car.
Uncle told him something along the lines of "Eh, sorry, just re-park it elsewhere."
After being asked by my father, yeah, the keys were "of course" inside.
Apparently nothing unusual.

But it's been years.

If you use a US VPN the "I'm not over 18" button turns to "Yes, I'm over 18"

There's an internal dialogue, usually. Might even basically be a copy of someone else. That's most of my conversations anyway. I am pretty social, it just doesn't extend far outside my mind. I often re-use bits from these imagined conversations when actually talking with those people, but that usually doesn't work out.
One on one conversations are ok-ish, but 3 or more people, are just a mess. Often I get no response. Either I wasn't heard, or I talked at the wrong time, or whatever else. I'll wait for minutes for the right moment to say something, and it's still badly timed, or the conversation has moved on.

But anyway, I can have fairly rich conversations, even with multiple people inside my mind.
Also, my thinking works better when walking.

Imagined sounds, especially music can be enriched with light tapping of teeth, sucking around saliva and rumbling from tensor tympani.

On my hand. I have notifications off on my phone, they get delivered to my MiBand.

So it can only be used for one thing at a time? (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphe89d61d66/ios)

Even my cheap Android phone does this better, although I wish there were more modes like triple, short then long, 2 short then long, or changing action for when screen is locked vs unlocked (e.g. flashlight when locked, toggle VPN when unlocked).
But it's at least something.

Are you referring to fishing or phishing?

I think civilization is probably just ending after these last few generations, frankly

Someone's probably trying to stop that already, in a way. Low(er) sentences for rape and abortion bans. Maybe will be followed by something else, like decreasing age of consent. Or banning things like hysterectomy, salpingectomy, vasectomy.
All the good solutions /s

Not sure if "good" is the right word, but at least cool.

Torrenting, high speed mobile data modem (especially with manual selection of frequency bands on MediaTek), local OpenSpeedTest server (available as app), WiFi analyzer (most used channels), VNC client, the slowest x86 emulation in Qemu-based Limbo PC emulator, SDR receiver software (SDR++, SDRAngel, Welle.io, dump1090, SatDump), RTL-TCP server, SSTV decoder and encoder, HTTP proxy server, Kiwix server, NGINX web server/proxy, Navidrome server, Cloudflare proxy client, SSH server, VNC server (only for Termux's desktop), satellite tracker, Mifare Magic NFC card programmer (MCT), audio spectrum analyzer, serial terminal.

I wanted to attach screenshots, but realized it's way too much stuff.

Notify my employer that I won't show up, go to doctor and wait in the waiting room. When the nurse shows up, give her the insurance card and wait for your turn. They'll check you, and if it's nothing special (requiring a specialist), you'll probably get prescription for some meds to pick up.
Then you get those in a pharmacy. Either it's electronic, or if the system is once again broken, you hand them the Rx paper that the Dr. gives you in that case. And then you figure out what you're about to pay. A lot of things will be fully covered by insurance, but potentially you'll have to copay. There's also a chance the Dr. tells you to get something that isn't covered, like some specific eyedrops, cough meds, probiotics (if you have antibiotics for example), etc.

The pharmacist may recommend a cheaper alternative, will likely tell you recommended dosage, tell you that once again this specific Dr. prescribed something that hasn't been manufactured for the past 30 years, and in the rare case, tell you the prescription seems dangerous and to contact the Dr.
And also decrypt any handwriting/encoding.

I had luck with VNC, although it's still worse than RDP. There's also some RDP implementations on Linux that are apparently better, but VNC works well enough for me.
But there's no sound, I don't know if RDP has that. I've used VLC for sound forwarding. I also tried PulseAudio TCP module, but that didn't quite work. With VLC I can do lossy compression.

What I wish would work better is X11 forwarding. That could be so awesome, just having the remote windows local-like. But from what I can find, in the past, programs used X11's drawing features which would save a lot of bandwidth, while now they just draw pixel by pixel.

To give you some idea, I've tried it on LAN with gigabit ethernet, ping below 1ms. It would saturate the port and still be kinda slow.

I also found it OK-ish, at least after my usual disabling of BITS and SuperFetch (SysMain now, I think), and disabling auto-updates, I think in gpedit.msc, and using the provided BypassNRO.cmd to create local account.

Alright, maybe not that OK, but after the initial setup it ran fine even on officially unsupported computer made in 2007. Just had to modify the installer by merging W11 image into W10 installer.

Anyway, the Windows store or whatever isn't that used, and I got tired of updating every random program coming from .exe files. But similarly I don't like the large hops in versions like Windows 10 -> 11, or similarly with Linux Mint, so I went with Arch.

Anyway, I'll be a smaller minority. I most liked Windows 8.1. It was really well optimized.

Eh.

I like them. It spins, it makes a sound when being used, it looks cool, I have to be a bit more gentle with it.

I think this could rather be related to power saving if the screen is locked.

I prefer to use a dedicated internet radio app. VLC also works if you obtain the direct stream (check online or play around with element inspector).

Have you replied to the wrong person?

If you were replying to me, the WebUI is best optimized for landscape use, and I don't like using my phone in portrait mode much, especially if I want to type.
Plus I get tabs. The Android multitasking is unreliable, and switching is inconvenient. There's no desktop-like panel, and background apps often die if more of them are open at once.
Lastly, embeds. Apps usually only work with images with regular URL, the WebUI works with Images, Video, Audio also in base64 data tag for tiny images, and images can be made into buttons.

Let me give you examples:

This is the Bulgarian Radio 1 stream:

And here's a button, but in base64 so it's directly in the comment, since it is pretty small:

These are edge cases, but an advantage too. If I wasn't lazy, I could use animated bullets and lines like on the old web, but in Lemmy comments.

Welcome to this example comment

Make sure to:

Firefox on Android was a bit of pain for desktop sites. First the tabs on top were missing, and until recently, the scaling was screwed up compared to Opera/Chrome.
