  • I used to use a browser extension to do this, mostly liked it until I tried to convert all my ebooks to it as well. It’s works, but it technically splits the words into two objects in order to change the font, which makes searching the book nearly impossible because typing a whole word will no longer find instances of it, instead you have to search for either half. Only an issue for ebooks, but it sort of turned me off of using this in general. Also I believe it’s “technically” copyrighted. I remember encountering something that wanted me to pay to use this. I found alternatives, but still, just left a bad taste in my mouth even though it helped. It did help me naturally read faster even without it, because rather than directly processing each letter I can do a sort of exclusion based search of my vocabulary as I process each letter. After 2 or 3, sometimes 4 letters, and with context I can correctly assume the rest of the word and move on.

    I want to boost this approach. At first I just whole sale swapped to the full Proton Suite as a G-Suite replacement. But I quickly decided I did not want all my eggs in their basket, so I kept their VPN because it’s got good interfaces for mobile while also playing nice with OpenVPN on Linux, and then I’ve used other solutions for email and cloud and such, self hosting wherever possible.










  • I accidentally did this when getting into skateboarding edits. My player is set to default to 1.75x speed. I happened to watch a video on a new browser or something and literally thought gravity was acting differently for a sec because how much more airtime they were getting then I realized I had trained a misperception of gravity into myself.



  • I’m non-binary and trans-femme. I am taking feminizing HRT but I have zero desire to pass as a cis woman. I want to exist within the deconstruction of the gender binary and be a shining example of humanity fitting into the queerness that is all around us in nature. It’s sometimes a scary place to exist, but it feels very authentic to myself, and has contextualized a lot of my childhood in a way that makes a lot of sense. Seems like you could be similar, but maybe leaning more into gender fluidity than totally trans-femme??
