     In a good way or like when the food is cooked?

     @serge I give up. Give me a piece of ham and an iPhone, and a razor.

     I hope I didn't suggest you give up all your ideals.

     I'm dealing with this exact issue myself in regards to a VTT program that I really like, but is non-Free.

     @serge I want to forget everything I know and just be a part of the world. Nobody listens to me. Nobody understands that a jug of cow's milk puts painful thoughts in my head. Nobody understands that Google can just delete your mail and files tomorrow without warning. Nobody cares.

     @kolev @serge I used to really suffer over things like how horrible most food was for the world: for the human laborers, the animals, the soil, and the atmosphere. I stopped buying food altogether at one point, and planned my life around the trash pickup schedules in my town, so I'd eat the garbage before the trucks took it away.

     I got out of that by focusing on pikuach nefesh. It's not my responsibility to singlehandedly fight every injustice at the cost of my life, I had to figure out something that would enable me to live. And that way of thinking would have ended me up in an early grave, I'm very sure. I had no regard for myself, and that is not really aligned with the Jewish perspective that we are each immensely valuable, e.g. bc we are made in the image of hashem.

     You are not obligated to finish the work of the world!

     I hope you find some comfort soon.

     @em I wish I could find balance. I phase out a practice for a year and then someone comes along expecting me to take part in something I haven't had the need to do. @serge

     @kolev @serge I saw you write elsewhere that you were at the point to just, e.g. eat ham. In case you're doing some black and white thinking, I'd like to remind you of the "not yet" approach. You don't have to choose between being perfect and giving up altogether. And if you choose one way and it stops serving you, you can change again! We all need kindness and togetherness, it doesn't help bring about Olam Haba for you to destroy yourself e.g. boycotting unfree software.

     @em @serge I'd like to establish a line. I don't want to be separated from the community, but I don't want WhatsApp to take over. I'm thinking of demoting WhatsApp by checking it less frequently, and only using it for my local group. Same with Discord.

     @kolev that sounds really healthy IMO. Some sort of algorithm that enables you to minimally engage with the disagreeable things such that you get your needs out of them, and are still not capitulating to them.
