Thanks for the clarification. I was too young to program the 2600. I started programming on PC-compatible.

IIRC, the 2600 didn’t have a graphics processor. So, you had to “chase the ray” with CPU instructions, which made for some interesting limitations.

browser fingerprinting

Thing is, while it wasn’t called “browser fingerprinting” immediately, it basically started as soon as JS was around. And feature-detection / media-queries actually make for better compatibility than just User-Agent strings (and other headers).

Content negotiation never really caught on, as best as I can tell. There’s a number of headers that the client can send so that the server can select a version by language, content-type, and a few other things, but in all the web deployments I’ve ever done content-negotiation was never a consideration.

Almost any information can be abused.

Whoa. First, it’s neither your fault nor mine that you might be in that 20% of exercise resistant depression. I mean, it’s like a 1 in 5 chance, so not uncommon.

Also, thanks for letting me know that you have tried that; I’m sorry if you’ve told me before and I forgot. I asked because I didn’t recall. I agree that a 2-3 mile walk every day is “enough” light exercise.

I’m not a professional, so please forgive me if my suggestions aren’t professional-quality. Exposure to nature helps some people. You might make sure your diet has enough Vitamin D, very low levels can affect mood. Are you self-isolating, even if you aren’t lonely? Maybe try to have more IRL social interactions; even if they are superficial, good ones can help confirm that not everyone deserves your anger. Also, maybe anger needs more high-intensity work for less time – or maybe resistance training (weight lifting) instead of cardio?

Have you looked into getting professional help?

My depression often tells me those people don’t care that much either. But, my parents are dead, I don’t have a partner, and maybe my friends aren’t “close” enough.

Talk to the providers, some may be willing to waive that depending on need. Also, that seems expensive; I’m on shitty healthcard.gov insurance and my co-pay per session was only 40 USD. I know when you are struggling, 40 can feel just as unreachable as 200, but getting that price down can be the difference between spiraling down or climbing up and out.

Talk to the people that are offering even shitty help – see if they have ideas for getting you professional help, maybe they could even pay the provider for you, or know about lower-cost services in your area.

As someone with a recurring severe depressive mood disorder diagnosis, I always found the validation helpful. I could complain without pushback to them. And, it help dissuade me that I was actually the source of everything bad. But, ultimately, I needed to get pharmacological help AND focus the core health items: sleep, food/water/diet, exercise/activity.

Came to the comments to post this. Am-english could at least use the ae.
