  • I have siblings that are 12 and 10 years older than me and they had my same experience, but okay.

  • When I'm in the zone (hyperfocusing), I can stay awake for 20+ hours doing something. But just because I'm not experiencing symptoms doesn't mean I'm totally fine, lol. It's incredibly stressful to keep up with the demands I make of myself even when I'm able to do it.

  • I mean... I'm 29 and grew up being told that everything my parents enjoyed would literally never be a reality for me. I was 14 when the economy crashed in 2008 and 17 when gas prices first started spiking and never went down. I had to take out a $40k loan just for 1 year of university when my parents had the chance to graduate nearly debt-free and use their summer jobs to qualify for a mortgage.

    Maybe you're thinking of Gen X or something, because I really wouldn't consider 1995-2015 (roughly the time when Millennials were coming of age) a golden era.

  • A cold plunge is essentially an ice water bath for a human. It's not food.

  • Unfortunately, reading the specs for a tech product is mandatory. A single sentence in a preview will never tell you everything you need to know; this was an expensive lesson for you. I'd like to second the recommendation for a Brother laser printer.

  • Regardless of the language, it sounds like AI, that's all:

    You can find the hottest videos and tracks on YouTube. You can also upload your own content and share it with friends or the whole world.

  • Yeah, same here, that's why I specified that they're only nice when they work. Often they just don't work, so Flatpak is better.

  • Auf YouTube findest du die angesagtesten Videos und Tracks. Außerdem kannst du eigene Inhalte hochladen und mit Freunden oder gleich der ganzen Welt teilen.

    ???

    This caption makes the post seem like AI is behind it, lol.

  • Damn, alright haha, I completely missed that news. Good for them.

  • I think I've landed on Flatpak as my favourite between Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. AppImage, when it works, is nice though. Snaps are just kind of inconvenient (auto-updates are a no for me) and bloated and the things Canonical are doing as an organization put a bad taste in my mouth.

  • So if I already use K-9 Mail, should I bother? Does anything set it apart yet?

  • At this point, I am an LMDE shill because it works so well for my non-tech wife. She has only had to use the terminal 3 times since I installed it for her in the summer and most of what she needs for day-to-day desktop computing came pre-installed.

    It "just works," even for multi-monitor setups, which I thought it would have trouble with.

  • So if you don't endorse European support to Ukraine or Europe/Ukraine using American weapons, what do you want here? Do you want them to simply give up and surrender their land to Russia? Do you want only European countries to supply weaponry and equipment? I'm not sure what options are actually left after those are out or how to read this comment in general. The 600 F-35s are presumably already ordered, which is why there's a concrete number to report on.

  • I think this one is more difficult than it sounds.

    I think that teens and kids are going to kill themselves because of this regardless of how difficult you think it sounds. I was a trans teen and waiting until I was 18 caused me to attempt suicide. Sure, it was only once, but I could have succeeded if I hadn't chickened out and didn't have a therapist at the time. Maybe TMI, but these discussions need to be had, as you say.

    Also, puberty blockers are reversible at any time.

  • Cool, more teen suicides. Probably even pre-teens.

  • Brave uses their own search index, so they are quite literally trying to do that.

  • In Ontario, Canada people can opt in when renewing their health card (a card used to access public healthcare) or driver's license, and it probably does positively impact the rate of opting in, but it really doesn't seem to address the need. I've been a registered organ donor since I was 16, but most people I've brought it up with aren't.

    I suppose if choosing an option is mandatory instead of voluntary then that would change things for the better. Is that what Germany is doing?

  • I think this post is alluding to the results of the US election and asserting that (at least part of) the reason is that many people decided not to vote.

    Related to people's tendency to do nothing when faced with the need to opt in is the status quo bias—the tendency to do nothing when faced with making a decision.

  • For what it's worth, I agree with you. Most telecom infrastructure funding has been historically pocketed. There is a chance it does work, though.

    If not, maybe the tariffs will help in the short term by minimizing profit from overseas supply chains and incentivize American manufacturing, causing a positive effect on the sector in concert with CHIPS (but I doubt it).
