> 5-MeO-DMT helped you see something you knew was true? (the red circles are the same size)

You may be an exception here?

Most humans, myself included, see the right circle as larger than the left one, regardless of how strongly you know they are the same size. Perception quirks like these are the basis for a lot of graphic design theory.

If the drug cancels this effect, it is doing something significant to the brain.

It is a bet if they are trying to build a business, or do research, on top of that position.

Not exactly. You are allowed to open the packaging, inspect it an check that it functions. Otherwise it would be pointless, wouldn't it? The exceptions are sealed games, health products, food, etc.

If you use it in a way that results in visible wear, the seller is allowed to deduct depreciation when you return it; that rarely happens.

Why do you suppose somebody wants to read your comment?

The UK inherited the EU 14-day return policy, it's great. Especially nowadays when there are a ton of products that you can't see in person at all, only order online.

The point about libghostty is that Herdr doesn't try to reimplement shell forwarding or emulation, instead it uses the same code your terminal already does. This avoids compatibility problems with more complex TUIs.

Running `herdr` always opens the same session, the app is a just a UI for a server running in the background. But there is no reason to open it in multiple windows, the point is to manage all shells from inside it.

Then you can from another machine do `herdr --remote xxx.local` (over Tailscale) to access the same session, or use `herdr machine add` to get your shells from all machines at once - I don't really use this part.

Leaking emails through your ad platform is quite a bit less serious than leaking five billion dollars.

Surprised to hear this, I'm not alone!

My account was banned back around 2021. I had a separate account on mobile, which got subsequently banned for 'evading a ban'. Have been unable to create an account since then, even on entirely new machines, different OS, renewed IP. Whatever tracking techniques they use are downright scary.

The worst part is that all of this started because a mod in a right-leaning sub silenced my account, then decided to turn it into a permanent ban for no reason.

Nowadays, I'd still like to visit r/programming for a change, and share some of my work, but otherwise it's such a cesspool of AI-generated content and bots that the appeal has almost entirely faded.
