  "textContent": "I am tired of many things. Some of them have bothered me for years. Some are rather recent. Here's how I have dealt with all that.\n\nMinimizing. I try to minimize anything related to negative things in my life, until I can either nullify the whole thing from my life, or it is so insignificant, it doesn't bother me anymore.\n\nFor example, when moving my email from gmail to my own domain, what I did was make gmail redirect the mails to the new one. Then every time I got an email, I moved only that email.\n\nEventually all things I need are in my real email, and gmail is now very insignificant for me.\n\nWhen it comes to things that are harmful to me in larger scale, such as bad corporations ruining things as they like to do, all I can really do is minimize my dependency and interactions with that thing. There are very bad things out there, so if I can, I just won't use their stuff.\n\nGood for my wallet too!\n\nI'm far from perfect. For example I still eat meat. But I try plant-based products whenever I can, they're often very expensive here. And sadly, I'm allergic to so many things that I can not fully go vegan/vegetarian. So I try to minimize my meat enjoying activities by sometimes buying plant based things instead. It's not 100% of the time, but more like.. 10%? Which is better than always buying meat, I think.\n\nI try to minimize in a way that leaves me energy to continue minimizing things in future. Otherwise I'll burn out and just start ignoring the minimizing process, which makes me just dependent on the thing again. And it's harder to minimize that dependency again.\n\nIt's rather difficult and tiresome at times.. But I think it's provided me good results. Some things, especially around tech, are far less annoying to me now.\n\nSome other tech things, well.. They're really annoying. Especially any current hype-cycles that seem to be making things worse for us. With those, I try my best to just ignore the hype and not use the things that the hypecorps peddle to me.\n\nInstead.. I'll wait and see. And keep minimizing my own (negative) impact on this planet as best as I can, and maximizing the positives, if at all possible.\n\nIf you can't do it like others do, that's fine! Just do your best!\n\nBecause that's what we all can do in the end: Our best.\n\nAnyway sorry for flooding your RSS feed with this drivel lol.",
