Hey Reddit mod, kindly fuck off will you?

It’s kinda funny though. While I don’t agree with the content, I had a mild chuckle. It’s weird how some things get down voted on Lemmy. This is a fairly new development.

The font is different in the second to last panel though. Doesn’t look original to me. Still a Reddit moment to delete it.

It’s a carbon copy for archival. That shit might show up when you’re searching your inbox, so it still makes sense. I automatically shove all mails where I’m in Cc into a separate folder and skim through it once a week maybe. If you want me to do something, then please address me directly. If you’re not capable of that, then you should perhaps look for a different job.

For real! Unions are the answer. I work 35h a week, have 30 days of vacation per year and an additional 6 days off, that can also be transformed into money instead. But fuck Money, 6 days more freedom is where it’s at! I still make 85-95k€ annually.

I just recently went back to a dedicated mp3/flac player. I wanted to go back to actually thinking about the music I hear and discover music myself without an algorithm telling me what to do. Even my rather cheap Shure se215, which are meant to be IEMs for musicians rather than for listening to music, sound leagues better than the Sony wf-1000xm5 I have. And they’re even better at isolating noise, without ANC. Plus no Bluetooth bullshit. Fuck that noise.

I’m sick of the way tech is going. It’s also the reason I’ve started building a home server.

LinkedIn connects you with fuck all. It’s all just LLM posts on there, it’s ridiculous.

Alphabet is known to mess around with the algorithms so you’ll always get disgusting Nazi shit in your suggestions sooner or later. Also, a lot of people can’t back out of doom-scrolling, because of bad impulse control (people with ADHD for example). And even if there’s something informative in there. It will always lack a lot of information. It’s like merely reading the headline of an article and then going into the comments, claiming you know everything about the topic (happens on Lemmy a lot).

It’s nice that you seem to have a grip on these shorts, but it’s even greater that you can use certain tools to eradicate them. On my mobile phone I use YouTube revanced and on Firefox/waterfox I use Tweaks for YouTube. With the latter you can also change the thumbnail size and grid the way you want so you don’t have to cope with the ridiculously large thumbnails.

That’s a weird take… The comic is speaking to many people who suffer the same fate. I love reading books but the distractions at home prevent me from doing so. Many people don’t even realize this until they finally get to read a book while on vacation for example. This comic is a reminder to think about this a bit more. I enjoyed the comic. Why are you gatekeeping comics?

Your edgy bullshit comment is making people hate you. There you go. Maybe try reading a book first before coming up with these ridiculous arguments.

It doesn’t work like that if you’re neurodivergent. I love reading, but it takes longer to get into a book. Other media are better at playing with the dopamine. But when I’m on vacation and there is no computer or tv around, then I can finally take the time to get into a book and it’s the most fantastic thing ever.

The reply is a bit late, but I take Medikinet Adult (Methylphenidate) and both my psychiatrist and psychotherapist warned me to not take these meds with other stimulants, including caffeine. It also says so in the pamphlet.

Try making music on Linux. You’ll be compiling obscure shit and tweaking configs all the time.

Haha, fair enough! I’m pumping big words now, but I’ve just started medication at 42 years old. I bet I’ll be chugging coffee and energy drinks along with my meds soon enough.

Maybe it’s because you’re negating the effects of your meds with caffeine? It’s literally the first thing a psychiatrist tells you. At least they should. It’s also clearly stated in the package insert. Why is everyone here taking meds and caffeine at the same time? I feel like dog shit when I do that. I drink my coffee in the evening when the meds have worn off. That also helps getting rid of some of the rebound effects.

Good on you for using grapheneos! But you should always install the software you want anyway. You don’t need google photos. You can install a different launcher etc. Don’t become complacent and go with the setting out of the box. That’s the reason tech turned into shit. Consumers don’t care for it anymore.

I must admit however, that the launcher market has turned to shit though. There used to be so many more cool options to choose from.

That’s what clothes are for? Don’t fault the tech if you don’t know how to use it.

The tech is flawed? Bicycles are the most efficient mode of transportation bar none. E-Bikes just have a very efficient motor slapped onto them. It’s not the tech. I also don’t believe it’s the climate because I know for a fact that more and more people are commuting by bike in the Philippines. If they can do it in 37 °C heat at 99% humidity and maximum exhaust fumes, then so can you.

That said, infrastructure is the biggest flaw. And that’s something that can be changed within a couple of years, as long as people are willing to do so. The Netherlands were a car-brain shit hole in the 70s, and they made a 180 and live in fucking paradise.

Of course there are many things that absolutely require a car, but groceries isn’t one of those, unless you live in the soulless suburban sprawl that you see so often in the USA.

Ok? I bought my E-Bike 8 years ago for 1500€ and use two roller bags and grab a bit of groceries on my way back from work. It’s a 10km commute one way, so a total of 20km. It takes me a grand total of 26 minutes to get to work. The car usually takes longer due to traffic.

I mean, it’s nice having a PHEV for bigger tasks but we (family of 3) only have one car. We do plenty with our E-Bikes.

Edit: and yes, I use the bike in winter, during rain and snow and I don’t give a shit. I fortunately also don’t live in a total shit hole, which was a choice I actively made.
