So you advocate your own posting taking its natural course and dying off? I can think of a way you can hurry up this process.

Yeah I was worried this could become a problem, because I imagine a lot of chuds are turned off of lemmy because of the tankie devs. Which makes sense. But I don’t think they should be welcome here, either. I’m trying to get away from that authoritarian shit, not get closer to the even worse kind of authoritarian shit.
No one needs to see this, you are throwing out extremely basic arguments that all of us encounter every day in this regressive society. You aren’t speaking truth to power, you’re just being part of the power right now. You aren’t making yourself look good and you aren’t making the world a better, freer, more nuanced, or happier place.
People: Hey, stop being a jackass.
Conservatives: OMG, yoU WANT TO CREATE A FAR LeFTIST ECHO CHAMBER
Every fucking time.
I journal and take notes regularly by hand and have written novel-length manuscripts in the last couple of years by hand. I prefer using fountain pens or else my hand cramps up (and using anything else for that amount of writing can get a bit wasteful). I don’t know if it’s better for my memory, but I prefer it for other reasons.
My process is to write a first draft by hand to minimize digital distractions. I take my notebook and pen somewhere without internet, and leave my laptop and phone behind. Then, I type it up, and this is a sort of “natural” 2nd draft process, as I obviously make smaller or larger edits as I’m re-reading my own work.
My mom still has notebooks from when she was in high school. Digital amnesia means I don’t have any of my high school and college homework anymore. I developed this system because realized I was putting a lot of effort into managing digital backups of all of my drafts and shit when simple folders and stacks of paper would do fine. But really, I mostly do it because I have ADHD, and using computers to write longform drafts is difficult because they are highly distracting devices. Typewriters and notebooks that only do one thing make things more straightforward for me. So, for me it’s basically an ADHD accommodation, I get why most people don’t approach things this way in 2023.
I hear you. The best I can do is tell myself that hopefully the Coast Guard personnel and other mariners got some practice/training which will be useful in emergencies in the future. And it’s still right to try and save someone, even if they put themselves in the dangerous situation.
Wow, I love slsk and have been using it since literally about 2004 (it has absolutely defined my taste in music), but I didn’t know there were any options for clients except for the main one. This is great!
If you’re reading this and you’ve never checked out slsk, consider this your invitation. I have spent hours trying to “stump” it by searching for increasingly-obscure music. Someone always has it on slsk.
EDIT: HOLY JESUS HALLELUJAH IT HAS DARK MODE
Those sources… are… interesting…
What’s a good seedbox provider these days? I had one over ten years ago, but I don’t even remember what that company was called.
Yeah, after this I think it’s just Norway and Japan. For some reason I figured Iceland would be the last holdout, but I was wrong.
How do we prove we’re not robots? Fucking select the picture with traffic lights or buses, right? How was this allowed.
I used to work at a liquor store and we had one regular customer who paid with a bitcoin card. This was around 2015 or so. It was funny because he said it was because of “anonymity” but everyone knew him as “the guy who pays with bitcoin.”
No, and I also seriously question people’s obsession with gold.
Hey. Biplanes are actually much more relevant in today’s world than crypto. They aren’t common, but there are still new biplanes made because they are a valid solution for certain problems. Unlike blockchain.
When 3rd party apps are blocked on July 1st, Reddit is no longer going to support accessibility features that blind mods and users need. Reddit’s owners don’t seem to have considered how much work it’s going to be to provide said features “in-house.”
OOF. Fuck it, take an upvote. 🤣
I dunno man, it’s more-or-less correct and that’s not something I’ve come to expect from LLM’s.
I could live for 5+ years off of that. Holy craps
For real, as an American I’m super grateful.
there are very few people who would prioritize a replaceable battery over other features.
I gotta gently push back against this. You may not know them personally, but there are a LOT of people who have gone back to dumbphones over this. IMO, this is a large part of why dumbphone sales are catching up on smartphone sales for the first time in years. I even know some elderly folks who stopped using cell phones entirely when smartphones stopped having replaceable batteries (easier to going back to having a landline when one is retired/not raising kids, of course).
There are very few people who buy the currently existing smartphones who would prioritize this feature, yes – because anyone who does prioritize this feature has been excluded from the entire smartphone market for several years now.
Yeah between this, abortion rights, and the affirmative action thing… it’s gonna be a rough next few years, but in the long term the Republicans are toast. I think what we’re experiencing now are their last spasms for power because they know they’re on the way out.
Just look up the amount of registered democrats vs. registered republicans in this country. IIRC there’s like half again as many democrats.
It’s almost like the only reason republicans ever win elections right now is due to is voter suppression.
