My favorite version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is the version by The Quiggles which appears on the Nitronic Rush soundtrack.

Cross-instance linking is a mess. You linked to an ad for your mobile app, which links to a kbin instance, which links back to lemmy.world... The app page devotes most of its space to download links while kbin demands the viewer log in before it will show them anything.

Technology Connections are great, but this doesn't feel very connected.

The only real impacts it has had are making me pay more attention to how I feel and more intentional about how I eat. I'm not going back for seconds just because they are there since I consciously decided that my initial portion was a good amount. I'm also not going a day without eating since it didn't cross my mind because I can see that little line slowly go down and it reminds me that food is good.

Modern tech is amazing. The management of T1D has been reduced to a glance at my phone every once in a while and a couple keystrokes when I eat something.

I was talking to someone recently who was diagnosed as a little kid and the stuff that they went through sounded awful. Their adult management of it is no better than mine is for having gone through that.

Sounds similar to the months before my T1 diagnosis at 27. More and more thirsty, less and less hungry. Water would fly through me too, making me suddenly have to pee not long after drinking.

It might make me smarter, but it makes me feel dumb.
