No, let them figure it out. Let’s encourage them to hand over the console win to steam deck.

Honestly this is so bad it’s just funny to me. “Let’s use AI to do all the things humans don’t wanna waste their time on. Like playing video games.”

I agree some questions feel forced, even rhetorical. I have a hard time believing it’s AI. I think it’s either a bunch of alt accounts from one guy who needs help winning arguments or a bunch of people roaming around in very weird social circles.

But yeah, there’s days Lemmy feels like a breath fresh air, and then it feels like someone is playing shenanigans in multiple communities for a few hours.

The point might be injunctions and judicial record, they might know they’re not getting their money back.

I honestly have no opinion on her. There were a few times I liked her music but I am incredibly indifferent to it. Not annoyed, not bored, not excited, just increasingly reactionless.

That’s an extremely specific scenario and I would bet money on it not happening quite as you describe.

What if people become more AI literate and generally understand it’s uses and misuses better? What if the dating and social connection landscape changes and some other platform makes things way easier or changes the way we connect? What if people become so lonely they revert back to prostitution?

There’s a million more scenarios and no one really knows what the future looks like, so I think it’s very likely that your scenario does not come true at all.

Then choose one at random. Or make a register page that lets you search for one using tags.

I genuinely don’t think this is hard, it just takes someone putting the time in.

Don’t get me wrong, Hitler and the nazis and especially all the bystanders who ignored were all awful, but literally nothing good comes from some foreign countries meddling in other countries politics.

Imagine France decided trump was evil and they would get rid of him and suddenly Macron becomes the leader of the US. Yeah people will be happy that trump is gone, but imagine what happens next: people are mad because they are essentially controlled by a foreign power, their political system just gave weight to some other guy and now the nazis will rise up again because they feel like they need to “liberate” their nation from “the chains of foreign forces” and “make the country strong again”. And this is only national reactions. No one knows what France constitutes as “a dictator”. Maybe Canada is next? Now they have to build defenses against hostile actions like this one. And because France did it, maybe Spain will copycat, and maybe they might pick Portugal just because they would love to indirectly control it. And now you have to justify why that’s different than Russia trying to “purge a country of Nazis”, you know, stuff they are literally using right now to justify their war of aggression.

What I’m trying to say is any countries business is their own. Otherwise every foreign invasion is suddenly up to interpretation and that’s just a bad ground rule for geopolitics.

Yeah she is overbearing it sounds like. The “perfect” thing would be to explain to her that there is topics you need to be alone with your therapist for. Of course it sounds like you don’t have the energy to do that, and your mom also might not understand.

What I’m trying to say that whole thing is not normal and both your mom and your therapist should be more professional and understanding of this.

I’m sorry you have to deal with all of this, but it will definitely get better. And of course all the things you feel make total sense given the situation you are finding yourself in.

Yeah exactly. The culture and the people make twitch, not the platform.

Same with YouTube - I could switch to peertube but I would be missing out on so many creators and so much content I genuinely wanna watch.

To me this always boils down to “it’s not worth it to live a boring life just out of principle”. I get that if everyone switched we’d be better off but we’re just not there yet.

I’m not saying this image is bad or people should not know about the conflict, I’m just saying if I scrolled over this on my break and my boss saw this, he would be traumatized and I might gave to have a talk with him about it, and I think that makes it NSFW.

I literally said this picture is good, because it sets it in perspective but for me it’s one step below showing dead people/ corpses and I hope we can all agree those are definitely NSFW.

Stupid idea for inspiration: why not pop up events relating to smaller battles of the big war you are fighting and maybe that way you can combine it? I’m not incredibly familiar with similar games but maybe that thought provokes some ideas…

For a very special orange boy

Good picture but could you mark it as NSFW?

It’s because most neueotypicals don’t know how to deal with the quirks of neurodiverse people.

And because our society is set up in a way where we have to put in most of the work to bridge that gap, this just results in a lot of extra baggage for us to deal with, in addition to functioning in the first place.

The only thing I can tell you is that it’s not your fault, and most people don’t intentionally do it, they just don’t know how to handle it, and it’s usually subconscious.

You’re kind of stuck with putting in more effort, but remember, we as people with autism are used to bridging gaps, so we have excellent training and usually a huge amount of patience. Make that your strength. Be persistent and observe, and then you’ll realize what people like and don’t like about you, and that’s how you can make yourself more fun to be around for neueotypicals.

I always think that all of the people with autism have limitations in a lot of regards, but our superpower is that we have way better control over ourselves and if we face tough things, we are so much more intentional and experienced, and that’s what makes is awesome - but in a different way.

There’s no script for social interactions. Most people do masking subconsciously because there’s so many things that neueotypicals look for, e.g. body language, facial expressions, micro movements, and how all of them fit together.

You’d need to be superhuman to emulate all of that consciously.

I’m so sorry you have to actively play a part to do this. Usually I always had like 1 friend I can depend on and nowadays when I wanna join friend groups, I still depend on that one friend and then just hang out for a while, before actually interacting.

Turns out, if you just observe and mirror the bigger things, like laughing at their jokes, or looking engaged when they tell stories or similar, you slowly build up trust and connection.

Just remember, it takes time to join a social circle and there’s an immense number of setbacks, that you kind of just have to deal with.

“Looking Glass does not support audio routing. The preferred solution is to pass through QEMU’s audio to your host’s audio system.”

That eliminates Ableton ofc (because that pushes you out of the vm for audio and then you have to deal with additional jank and you’re back to dealing with your Linux distro for better or for worse.

Premiere pro that could work though of course for audio you’re also back to square one.

Ok so when you’re talking about xmpp as a discord alternative, basically movim is kind of what people should be paying attention to.

I’ll def check that out. I am also passively observing progress on stoat.

And no trigger discipline at all on that sudo. That’s criminal negligence. Very Baldwin-inspired.

A server is currently unavailable. That’s what that means.

You can still join the servers that are working currently.

The dev is overwhelmed and the app is extremely young, and because it’s mostly running on his own server because the self-hosting process is being redesigned, things break a lot at the moment.

Is this some kind of rm -rf / hostage situation?
