Yeah, we’re basically tit for tat on that. I embraced being alone a bit too much and now I’m without a support system. I do have a some people I can meet nearby but defo none I’d call friends.
And yeah, I am sending this msg while also bedrotting, playing videogames and working on FOSS software.
Yeah… and covid made it worse, because for the first time in my life during lockdown I could live the life I wanted, and it was normal, but then it ended and I still struggle to get back to “normality”…

I’ve always wanted to (but never actually did) work on foss software… But I work as a depressed software developer in a project that I’m really hating! :D
Anyways…
Tho, I’m a cishet dude so just malecel stuff
You would have been banned for this in the femcel subreddit, but I guess this community is less strict 😁
Oh yeah, we wouldn’t be having this convo on some place that blocked me for my gender/sexuality. Anytime a community like that graces my feed I block it shortly after.
About FOSS yeah, I just host my stuff on codeberg (joined cuz of the anti ai stuff) and make my own shit for anyone to see, did a couple commits for some other projects but I’m very into doing my own thing and I’m basically self-taught so my code ain’t the best.
About working on something you hate? Yeah, I get it. I work also as a programmer and I hated every moment I had to dig up someone else’s C/AL code (proprietary Microsoft ERP coding language).

See, the thing is that I don’t care about stuff like that. The problem is management.
rant incoming you can skip
I need good managers to function well and it’s been two years now that management is shit. I’m at a point where just the thought of opening the IDE makes me sick. I know I just have to suck it for a little bit then this project will be over and hopefully I will be put in something better. I don’t really want to look for another job. Sorry for the rant

Oh so we are in a similar position. I’ve created lots of tools that were useful to me (and I think only to me in the world) and released them as foss, but I’ve never contributed code to a big foss project. I want to but I just never did.

Don’t get me wrong, they have their own reasons for doing that on the subreddit, and I think they have a right to do it – for example an AA meeting is not the place for a non-alcoholic. But at the same time, being too close of a group leads to radicalisation, and that group is radical. Some things may start as a joke, but then some people start believing them… it can be dangerous…

r/femcel itself is banned
I’m talking about another subreddit

I wish I was that functional 🥲
Oh no my FOSS stuff is kinda trash. Random patches to things I used
