I help people and build things that help people.
Check out our instance and our communities:
After many careers and much money earned and spent, I now try to go by „ikigai“. Its a japanese theory and teaches you to be aware of what it is that you want, what makes you money, what the world needs and what you‘re good at, basically. This is how I went from a very well paid but soul sucking job to a lesser paid but much more fulfilling work.
For me it was building computers and the stuff around it. Its fun and it makes decent money if done right.
Good luck!
If you read the comments of the original article, I think its about not letting them off the hook? Especially now that many countries have gone over the threshold?
I perfectly well understood what you meant. The issue is that bluesky is barely different from xitter and threads. If those two brought an open source app I wouldnt touch that either. Mind you, meta releases open source stuff, as does microsoft. Just because they’re evil doesnt mean they wouldnt do it.
We have an ongoing debate in the fediverse if we should be open to (e.g.) federating with those services if it comes to it (in case of threads, it did). I‘m a signee of the fedipact but I hold all billionaire media in that regard for the future.
Working on intercompatibility is the same thing and everyone has the right to do whatever they like. I have the right to let you know that there are risks involved. One example out of the top of my head: bluesky could decide to block your app or display ads for the „real app“ since it is a proprietary backend that you have to call from the app.
If you‘re a cave dweller like me that stares at code for pleasure, yes.
I feel like billionaire media isnt okay so no, the thought would never ever cross my mind.
But i can see how different folks need different strokes so go ahead.
All I ask is that folks keep in mind that this is a centralized social media platform that has a size advantage over the fedisverse (i assume) and therefore poses a threat of barren wasteland attack.
You can also read about retraumatization. Its statistically likely for a sufficiently traumatized person to walk into situations (both by their own and other‘s specific configuration) that deepen the trauma. Then there are intense risc factors like being part of one or many minorities. At some points, life becomes an obstacle course just to keep that from happening over and over because the outcome of that vicious cycle is brutal.
To the second part: yes, that and capitalism. It would be infinitely easier for a person to just heal if there wasnt constant pressure from all sides to produce meaningless „work“ for some oligarch or another but thats beyond the scope here i guess.

Definitely not nobody but statistically VERY FEW people will have this combination:
Edit: nice try to fingerprint me, big tech. You succeeded! /j
Not really sure but it feels like this suggests you always have a choice. You really dont. Depending on the shit you‘ve been through, things will be shit forever and you just have to deal with it. Then again, it light just try to spark discussion.
To those who have lasting damage from their parent‘s mistakes: I feel you. You don’t need their love or their approval for anything.
Exactly. Same here. The fact that „linux“ isnt a product that has to have the shiny new thing after every update and has no deadlines to hold and no manager to keep happy makes it a fundamentally different thing which actually is very much in line with efficiency ideas, the idea of progress and evolution as a whole. At least thats how I view it.
Someone who reads articles and has emotional bandwith.
Hear hear! :)
What do you mean?
Edit: i checked your comment history. You‘re a troll. Never mind. Banned.
I regularly listen to linux late night, 2.5 admins and the like. They’re more „here‘s your tech news and we expand on the individual topics that are included“. For me that keeps me listening because although I have solid knowledge, keeping up with the latest cve‘s for example is hard for me. They spare me to find someone to discuss a certain cve with someone.
I listened to it and I really like the production quality so far. I‘m not into book style podcasts but I‘ll definitely recommend it to friends. Thanks for making this.
I think this is the case, yes. From my pov the technical ability to block others and defederate leads to this left leaning trend. This is the only place I know that is really left leaning.
But the important part here is: the distinction between left and right is arbitrary. There is no left and right. There are certain beliefs and ideas which usually get attributed towards left or right.
The idea of freedom - in most of the world - isnt really left or right, or at least used to be.
Especially the fascist turn of the us, the fascist turn of germany and others are a sign of the world turning, not lemmy.
Because freedom, flow of ideas and identity are still typical topics on lemmy. Same as they used to be. I think the right wing nuts just left since they are more welcome on xitter and fascbook.
Is that good for critical discourse? No. Can we change it? No idea. Should we change it? No idea.
The idea of self love in the often used sense is to believe in yourself, not talk bad at or about yourself and do nice things to yourself that make you feel well.
The other one is called narcissism, yes. It stems from a bad self image which subconsciously gets compensated through grandeur, selfishness and other things that you can read from the dsm or icd. Basic clinical psychology. The roots of that bad self image can be a bad childhood, brain damage or abuse amongst other things.
As someone who has pretty large trove of experience there: in relationships, the stuff that is good for one and bad for the other is wrong. Only good and acceptable are viable combinations.
In theory, yes. But thats not how social systems work. If you build a selfsustaining cycle of abuse held in place by dopamine inducing mechanics like easy to consume media you can manipulate people to do whatever you like, see the current shift to fascism. Nobody with a hint of compassion would vote for a fascist, hell nobody with an ounce of self interest would do that but here we are. Its like asking drug addicts to just not use the stuff. Not how humans work.
But nobody could have seen that coming! /s
Same with the communities I mod. No bans at all so far. But tbf they‘re smaller. The larger communities might be different.
I suggest a long nail. Make sure to hammer it in nice and deep so the breaker holds.
