I really wouldn't say vaping is easier to quit than cigarettes from my experience, they are way too convenient, no long lasting smell, you can vape inside, nice and unnoffensive flavour.

Pouches in the other hand helped me a lot, they kindof hurt if you do too much, and you get nauseous more quickly, but the nicotene effect is noticable enough to easily replace vaping/smoking, and I consume much less nicotene since I switched to them.

Anus tangerinus is fucking genius

AFAIK genes only account for physical properties like hair color and shit, and upbringing effects everything else.

Source: someone I met who claimed to be a psychiatrist told me and I've never confirmed it or that she actually was a psychiatrist.

Last I've tried it was about a week ago, it was as I described. FYI I am on a mac, so Linux/windows might be less buggy, not sure.

This led me down a weird chain of thought where I ended up at an internet for dogs, where they complain about smell profiles, and smellprint resisting browsers.

Floorp is a nightmare from my experience, I've tried it about 2 years ago, it was pretty cool but insanely buggy, I've been trying it maybe once every 2 months ever since and it hasn't gotten better IMO, if you customize almost anything in the ui, things will break eventually, and I always get frequent freezes and crashes.

At this point I just use Firefox with Betterfox user.JS and its been great, you get ff updates as fast as they come out since it's not a frok, also has all bloat and telemetry disabled, whenever I try out another browser I just switch back to ff for one reason or another.

I can never use another keyboard after discovering the hold to copy and stuff, it's so natural, and I'm so glad that I'm stuck on a FOSS keyboard that's owned by a company I respect.

The march update definetly helped with system ui animations, the recent apps menu would stutter on every opening, whereas now it's always smooth.

Also ruined haptics.

Its a shame, I would have thought that by this time atleast the price would go down enough for mass adoption, considering there isn't that significant of advancement in tech, atleast from what I've seen.

Mass adoption would push more developers to work on software for VR, which would pretty much staple it as a new form of entertainment consumption.

I have never thought that in my adult life I'd relate to muggy from New Vegas this much.

After playing with trains in factorio, then just staring at them go in pure ecstasy for 10s of minutes. I am now convinced I'm much further on the spectrum than I thought.

 

I'm new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it's pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)

I'm not super savvy but couldn't they merge them and have the community hosted as mirrors of each other on both for redundancy? If I'm wrong, do correct me, again, not super savvy and also new here.

 

I've been struggling to find any resource for mac tech support/general questions. The r/mac subreddit is more of a cult or something(same with apple forums except its non competent apple employees), I've had the problem of siri running in the background (while having siri disabled) and it using over 100% of a cpu core, bringing the temps up by 20-30 degrees while idle, and the only answer I've got there was on the lines of "trust you're computer bro, it knows more than you". I'd love a community to ask mac specific questions and not have people who get personally offended when someone criticizes or points out a problem on apple devices.

 

A while ago I started loosing hope in the internet, even before ai it was mostly bots, and copy and paste articles. Everything is exponentially getting more and more malicious, with algorithms made to suck you in with obviously no care for the human user, just make stock go up, and make comically evil board members happy.

Not enough people are talking about what lemmy and bluesky have done, I'm not that tech savvy but from what I've understand their decentralized nature makes people always in control as opposed to one company.

Going on these sites brings me back to the earlier days of the internet, where it felt like interacting with real people, posting to an actual community, rather than being in one of those dystopian movies with slurm drinks and infinite amount of trash being pumped out by bots, to get as many views for monetization/outreach which is what pretty much all major social medias feel today.
