“You won’t make it out alive!”

I am being inspired by this post: Rewiring the brain. My attention span is nuts as of late. I drift so very often and I am wasting time, mostly on the internet. I am going to impose an experiment starting today, no Reddit and Youtube for four weeks straight. These two consume most of my time and it is time take these away. I am anticipating of letting go of other things as well.

SIM Number Setter

SIM numbers on the card are often “unknown” when you change carriers, keeping the same number, or requested for a replacement SIM card. This does not mean that you have a null number, the carrier still knows you’re using the same number, however, the card itself don’t store that data. Some apps needs to access this data.

Old Android versions have this feature that you can edit this entry directly and write to SIM itself.

If you’re on Android, and have a rooted device, you can do this by using SIM Number Setter by KieronQuinn. What it is:

SIM Number Setter is a small Xposed module that invokes normally unused Android System code to set the “subscriber number” on the device’s SIM card. This is the number displayed in the system settings, and used in apps such as Google Messages, as well as being available to third party apps with sufficient permissions.

Being an Xposed module, you need Lsposed module as well for it to work. The number you set will persist on the SIM card.

The things that are a waste of time may be pointless, but that is exactly what makes them worth doing.

Prey was the first anthem we wrote for the album. The whole song was written about the idea of worshiping unhealthiness. Everything about celebrity is so fucking toxic these days. We’re attracted to toxicity. But it’s also seen as the thing to strive for, because apparently if you reach that status, that’s success, and it’s crazy. And to get there you’re being told that you’re not enough. That simply being a human is not enough. And it’s fucking savage! But that’s what advertising is. Make someone feel like they’re missing a part of themselves and then sell them that part of themselves.

Pros of using a 2GB RAM smartphone in 2025: you can’t multitask as most apps use more memory now, which makes you focus on what you’re really doing with the device.

This is the truth
The only time you’ll here it
I write it down because it seems so hard to say it

These are my thoughts written down on paper
It’s my only savior
From not saying what I want to say
There are my thoughts that are on my mind
Moments that haven’t yet been defined
And I don’t know if you could ever understand
These are the things I can’t say when we’re alone
