My dude, please get some professional help. I am religious, so if you ask me, I would point there, but seriously, you are worth it and you are at least worth the memes you post. I bet that you could grow a bunch from a place of stability, and have a pretty rad life to look forward to

Here is some other advice:

  • ask chat-gpt for some exercises to help you get your brain where it should be and a timeline. Then execute. Rinse repeat

  • reduce social media (including Lemmy) a good "cold turkey" break would be a cruise or something.

  • obtain physically proximate friends via volunteering at a local food bank or similar nonprofit.

Economics say that technological advances hurt those displaced for a short period of time but the entire rest of the economy improves and the displaced people are smart enough to find other jobs in the new economy with higher standard of living...

Unless the value created never makes it back to the economy...

I sit in a hot office and think about this. I am not sure where to ask. I am genuinely curious. I have seen a breakdown of building solar panels to power the earth 2x over in order to recapture carbon equal to the rate it is being produced, but then areas of the earth that were reflective are now absorbtive of heat...

As a martian, I get all the water I want from fog, but earth seems to like to drown in it. Water is a greenhouse gas people!

I said this in a different post's comments about Facebook scraping data:

Can activity pub change it's terms to say that all crawlers that use this must be gnu open sources and all information crawled must be open to the public on gnu open sources software (no crawling to a private enterprise)?

My understanding is all the big tech companies are scared of what happened with router software (openwrt) and they don't want to be forced to let competition be a foss community via gnu licensing.

The bill requires that manufacturers of electronics and appliances make parts, repair tools, and documentation available to the general public, for devices first sold on or after July 1, 2021. For devices costing between $50 and $99.99, manufacturers must provide repair access for at least three years after the product is no longer manufactured; for those costing more than $100, that number rises to seven years. In its letter, Apple lists a few bill provisions that were crucial for the company’s support, including language that clearly states manufacturers only have to offer the public the same parts, tools, and manuals available to authorized repair partners, and the bill’s exclusive focus on newer devices.

The support is equal to cutting the teeth off the bill.

  • all parts for repair have to be through apple
  • all repairs need to be done in based on official channel (official software probably because that is "authorized")
  • the bill only applies to new models, and only for the support period of 3 years.

Or some garbage like that that I am missing. The same thing was done when we didn't want isps to control the net and coined the term "net neutrality" then the isps rebranded it to mean isp controls if you are neutral on the net... Sigh.

This response is frustrating. A company can have pressure put on and change actions more than "can everyone just spend 5 minutes". To put pressure back on a consumer who does not have the ability to purchase time (via more employees) to handle the load of "5 more minutes" means that only the crazy will think they can make a difference.

Your response is generated from a successful captain planet propaganda campaign that successfully brainwashed a generation. You are technically right that no supply = no demand. You are technically right that "if 100% of humans stopped using and correctly educated themselves on further green washing pivots" then the 100 companies would stop.

Consumer reports.org

A search engine both indexes the internet then curates "relevance".

  • Mostly if I am looking for info, I'll go to Wikipedia or lemmy.
  • If I am looking for info about a purchase, consumer reports,
  • if I am looking for social media, lemmy.

Basically the title. I went to settings > delete > enter password ... And nothing changed. How do you delete a lemmy account?

Issue: when viewing a post only the first image of the series loads. This most recently happened when I tried to view the single url above.

Edit: I went to the GitHub for jerboa to make a issue and I saw 191 open issues/feature requests. I may just go through and read what is open. Thanks devs for all you do!

Due to the security incident last night, my instance required all users to log in again. I tried in jerboa and could not. I am posting this from my browser.

v0.0.38

Edit: I was able to get it to work when I tried today. Changes since my last attempt

-closed the app and opened android app properties and cleared all app storage and cache

-2fa is now enabled

-checked for no trailing spaces from the phone keyboard (found no need for corrections)

Thanks!

Marco Polo is a "video walkie talkie" allowing videos to be recorded and sent to contacts like close irl friends and family.

I don't like their privacy policy, video degradation, and security through obscurity practices. What are some Foss (maybe end to end encryption) alternatives?

Peertube has no content but tries to imitate YouTube as a p2p federated alt.

I want users to be able to flag comments as "jokes" or "serious" on lemmy, so it is easy to sort by relevant comment thread. Especially inside jokes.

I want to structure some of my play time with my kids. I want to have them ultimately go to public school (socialization, working with others, etc.). Where do I start?
