I hate the state of our world as it is right now. It's been itching inside my head for quite some time alreadu. It probably is somewhat political, because it probably has something to do with capitalism, but I can't understand how a population that has never been so productive still has to work their ass off in order to simply eat and lay in a bed safely. The more I think about it, the less sense it makes and the more I hate how natural it is for seemingly everyone around me.

I'm not one of these people, despite also not being wealthy at all, I have a job, I don't get paid top dollar but I have a safe house, food on the table and I can do a little bit more with my money, and yes, that's it, EVERYTHING seems to revolve around money.

Home smart devices in general. I'm avoiding Alexa, Siri or any other thing like that. Besides the obvious privacy issues I see about them, I can only imagine being alone at home, Alexa thinking something talked to her and responding in a distorted voice. No, thanks.

I'm considering a home assistant at some point, by setting up a proper network for the smart devices alone, but that's as far as I'll go.

Yes, it is paid. I recently signed up for the 30 day play as a test drive and see if it made sense to me... And it really is game changing.

Torrent may be enough most of the time, but Stremio has a serious problem about speed, I don't know why. I enabled the "ultra fast" settings in the menu, but I can't get the same speed I'd get downloading the same torrent through any torrent client.

It made it impossible to watch 4gb movies, for example, I was basically stuck with lower quality 1-2gb ones.

Real debrid changed that. I watched a 17gb one the other day just fine.

If some movie isn't available through RD, you can signal RD to download it and it will be available to you (and others) a bit later as well, but I haven't really needed it so far.

A coworker once said he was a content reviewer for YouTube for some time. He received in dollar in a 3rd world country and said it was a pretty easy job to do, aside from being full WFH. Certainly not the worst job out there.

Bitwarden, no question

Why, tho?

It is obviously weird in the first date, but I think it should be brought up pretty early in a relationship.

If they don't have the same goals or view these things remotely the same way, why invest time in a relationship? Just to have it become a problem ahead?

Repeat above for the use of "nazi". The use of the word has become devalued because people like to fling it at folks with milquetoast centrist opinions, save it for people who are legitimately evil.

Yup, I said the same thing to people around me, when the use of the word "fascist" became a thing in my country. Even clearly moderate opponents were being called fascists left and right. I told people around me that the word would lose its meaning and power. That's exactly what happened, and when an actual fascist came up, you had nothing against him and its supporters transformed the term into a joke.

The first one already happens, no? Before the last few updates, if you opened a link to a community that "via" another instance, you were kinda screwed. You could see it as a "guest", but not interact to it. In the recent updates, if you try to interact with it, it will open a popup to ask if you wanna open it in one of the instances you have an account.

Dunno if I misunderstood your point, tho.

The second one is kinda hard, because images already put a lot of pressure on instances storage-wise. Videos would be even more, and not only much more storage needed, but also throughput. I don't really see it happening any time soon, not really because of the apps, but because of the platform itself and its federated nature.

2-3 times a day, depends

If I'm at work, I also brush after lunch

If I'm home, I just casually skip it because yeah fuck it

Even all/hot or active or whatever, really.

The main reason I stopped looking at all. Nothing against NSFW, but I want it when I'm expressly in the mood. I was finding myself masturbating more because of this shit.

Hey Lemmings

I think maybe I'm just a bit anxious right now.

But I don't know what to expect.

I already go to a psychologist once a week, since my early teens (although I had some time off until now).

Should I expect the same dynamics?

I know why I'm going and all, I know what I wanna "treat", but I'm still in doubt about if what I want to treat is the treatment I need, and it would be more of a consequence of some deeper stuff.

Don't know if I made myself clear, but there it is.

Has anyone been to one before? What should I expect? How it went for you?

 

Replies to my posts/comments don't appear to be anywhere in the app.

Am I dumb and unable to find it or we really don't have any?

 

I made, in fact, this commentary in another thread. But, for some reason, it shows up as if it was in this thread, in which I made another comment.

 

Is there anything like that? Most of these banners are invasive and I generally decline all by default, besides necessary ones.

I have "I don't care about cookies" extension on desktop, although it doesn't really fix it most of the times. Also, some sites keep showing them if I navigate through it or refresh the page.

But for Android I couldn't manage to find any extension for it.

Is anyone aware of any?

 

Not willing to give them ideas so fast.

That's something that popped in my head as soon as I started in here, not so long ago.

But there's nothing to prevent that, right? I mean, Meta could very well create a meta instance on Lemmy or Kbin or Mastodon or in all of them, bring a bunch of users, sprinkle in some ads because why not.

Sure, they could be defederated from more restrictive insfances. In the bigger picture, every other instance could boycott them, but they would surely federate among themselves (Elon meets Mark, ugh). They also have all the computational power and would have no problem being the largest instances in the Fediverse.

Then what? Is that feasible? Probable? My utopian future about a free, descentralized Fediverse is a lie?

 

On Android: App settings > Jerboa > Set as default > Supported web addresses > check whatever you like

I checked my instance's only, so whenever I click some link to a community in Jerboa it I will go directly to the community, instead of it opening in the browser.

Don't think it will work very well with other instances, right now tho. At least not until link redirection is launched.
