Was scary to install that extension but now I can confirm it works as intended

After “This isn’t my main account” I was expecting piping hot takes from the noblest edge-lord and was only slightly let down.

Resilio Sync

I have excellent long-term memory but have always struggled with keeping strings of numbers in my short-term memory. You can imagine the struggle when trying to solve a function is like trying to make a bed with a slightly too small fitted sheet

Yeah or not everyone needs to be “someone”

I had the same thought about therapy. Like who says that’s a dopamine source? Feels like they just added random activities here. How about ice skating or baking as well?

What do you mean beyond terrified? Like not terrified?

I used spotify for a few months about 10 years ago until they doubled their price and removed songs that I had saved in playlists. Since then I haven’t bothered with streaming.

You might benefit from practicing self-compassion

Friendship

If you’re a musician, look for open mics / open jams and try to make friends in the scene. Musician-organized diy events are cheap and fun. Especially punk events are cheap.
If you’re interested in art, look for local diy group exhibitions and performances and ask if you can volunteer for support.
If you’re into hacking/diy look for local repair cafes and ask to volunteer.
If you’re into rpg go hang out in local game shops and find a group to play with.
It really depends on what you consider fun!

Try piefed. The frontpage experience is wildly different.

Like what exactly do they expect to be at the outer edge of the universe? Feels like a flat-earth sort of a worldview…

On a positive note, they are probably not participating in the future gene pool

Subjectively speaking, after switching to Piefed I feel like “the internet is back”.

Engaging conversation, good tools for filtering the front page to your liking, and the audience seems generally speaking more mature. I do expect that to change if the platform grows in size.

Yeah I think it’s very subjective and this one anedcote is just that.

In Germany cash is preferred in most places, and that makes tracking payments difficult. This is not the case in most other european countries. That’s an another anecdote for you.

Pocket used to be on my list, but it was unfortunately shut down. Now Joplin web clipper took its place. I still miss Pocket.

This article was right up my alley. I’ve been considering buying a cheapo smartwatch. I suppose this one couldn’t be used as a mp3 player for jogging though.

Glad to hear I’m not alone with these thoughts!

I propose, as a counter movement, automatic engagement; Instead of “liking” or “upvoting”, leave a comment every time you see something you support. And try to abstain from commenting on ragebait or otherwise intentional attention seeking. If enough people start doing this, the algorithm should start adapting to prefering more substantial or positive material, right? I know it sounds naive, but worth a shot!

What do you mean with chat control BS? Care to share a link?

That being said, there are a lot of worrying politicians out there.
