Yes now it does, it's beyond soured. But it's a strange disconnect. Ignoring all the social commentary and looking for the most practical solution for making small pay-per-use payments - it was right there.

I don't understand why cryptocurrency isn't an accepted solution to this. Open firefox, attach wallet, drip $0.25/month/user. It's good for tiny transactions.

As long as people need money other people will try to find opportunities to make it, not everyone has the same moral boundaries.
People have talked about this for a long time it doesn't seem like there is an idea driven way out. This is the road.

I had one forum I went to and people trolled but they were community members and if it ever got out of hand they were banned. Nowadays people seem much more vicious, the more personal and the more it stings better.

Wiby is great. I think of it as more of a museum, an incomplete collection of antiques. The fediverse is thriving, it has a pulse.
The mood matrix (ie the Microsoft logo). A four quadrant grid to plot energy and pleasantness. Some charts have 100 emotions, others have 4. You can find one online, here are some example ([https://transkatgirl.github.io/TheMoodMeter/](1)), [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mood+matrix+chart+meter+-app&t=ffab&iar=images](2). **Description** Blue: Low energy, low pleasantness. This is where depression sits. Red: High energy, low pleasantness. This is where anger goes. Yellow: High energy, high pleasant. Festive. Green: Low energy, high pleasant. Serene, content, calm. Maybe you know this already. Maybe you also know that you can try to pair your activities with your mood. So why am I sharing? It's a prompt. I've heard of this before, never bothered to try it or never did it successfully. It's worth trying if you're struggling right now and have to work. My week has been rough, mental health dropped of a cliff after being solid for several weeks. Monday, the usual, 'I can't do this right now' feelings. I'd usually grind through the day, nap with my phone on alert, take a long lunch, stop early and tell myself I'd catch up later when I'm feeling better. Mental health days right? Meanwhile I'm falling behind, having less than positive interactions with coworkers, making mistakes, and just generally making my life worse. I'll try the mood chart thing, this time I have an LLM to help me think because I'm an idiot. I only sort of want the day off, but I realize I might be on this roller coaster for a while. What can I actually do today? **1. Red Zone (Angry, Frustrated, Overwhelmed)** - Urgent, high-energy tasks: clearing backlogs, problem-solving, making quick decisions - Use the frustration energy to push through stuck problems - Physical tasks: organizing, rearranging, building things. - Brainstorming: Pull out some paper, a web tool, or whiteboard and come up with ideas and plans. Explore solutions later if that's better. - Avoid talking to people, mute notifications **2. Yellow Zone (Anxious, Excited)** - Creative work: Channel that restless energy into being creative - Wrap up projects, put a bow on it and then start something else that sounds fun - Planning: Outline projects, create to-do lists, or schedule future work. - Bring donuts **3. Green Zone (Calm, Focused, Happy)** - Deep-focus work: Tackle complex projects, research, writing, meticulous and challenging activities, analysis - Collaborative tasks: Team meetings, discussions, problem-solving with others. - Socializing with colleagues, go out for lunch, call someone, bring donuts for people - Planning. I think planning goes everywhere except blue. **4. Blue Zone (Tired, Sad, Low Energy)** - Low-energy tasks: Organizing files, deleting things, sorting documents, or simple administrative work, simple things, dull tasks that you've been putting off - Research: Tasks that require reading, learning, or reviewing information at a comfortable pace. Get cozy. - Planning: review work you've done recently It's helping me get through this wave. Monday and Tuesday have been better than I expected, I've been productive and I don't feel worse.

I went to a low data plan and learned that Google Maps consumes a vast amount of data (relative to my plan limit), and I download all my maps and had location off. 1 single bus route between two pinned locations was 30Mb. Maps and search could be so simple but they are insanely bloated.

Weed helps me too and I stocked up on weed and beer last time, but the nausea/stomach cramps were so bad there was no way I was consuming anything. Fault in my plan..
Having an appropriate playlist (drums/relaxing) and a sleep mask is very helpful.

I tried 1g of Makilla Gorilla and 1g of Golden Teacher (months apart) and the gorilla felt 3x stronger at least. I never knew that before, it's much better now that we can buy them in stores.

Bit more context in case people pass on the article, but Cleveland Cliffs was looking to get a $500 million grant from the Department of Energy to convert a coal powered steel manufacturing facility to hydrogen. Automakers buy their steel on the global market, so prices need to be competitive with what India and China can come up with. That grant might expire, revealing a weak link in the White House's green initiatives I hadn't thought about before.
All of these companies are publicly traded, none of them are willing to absorb costs for transition projects. Lourenco Goncalves isn't a good guy here.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19780050 > In an interview with POLITICO, Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves said the Ohio-based company produces the steel with the lowest carbon emissions in the world. But he said his company cannot persuade buyers, mostly in the automobile sector, to pay the price to cover the costs of producing more environmentally friendly steel. Cars! Fuck em.

It's getting worse in more ways than one, I wouldn't argue against that. But getting banned isn't something I've come across. Posts removed or zero engagement on comments? Yes, all the time.
I feel like the way to get banned from /parenting is to bring up anti-natalism or childfree.

I think this past week in particular I've been high energy and stressed out and this puts me in an irritable mood. Maybe my general approach is OK, but I could be more aware of my headspace and what kind of decisions it leads me towards. I can bus if I'm not clear headed enough to deal with inevitable conflicts with cars on the road.

I think it's as much about getting a soldering iron into every home the way that a hammer, multibit screwdriver seem to be. It's potentially a huge market to tap into. When I was doing this particular shopping I bought a usb-c powered soldering iron with an open source OS.
What is the right attitude to have with drivers or cars on the road as someone who bikes, or walks, or uses another mode of transportation. I'm looking to adjust my behaviour and want some opinions. How do you treat cars on the road (shared bike/car roads, bike lanes only) I think there is a good case for adding 'friction' to the lives of drivers. But I'm less sure today. I'm conflicted. Friction comes in a variety of ways, but basically I think of it as me not contributing to the driving experience in a positive way. Eg. if you're a car rushing up to a stop sign with a light on a bike path... we'll I'm not pushing the pedestrian button. I can wait. Good luck turning left on this 4 lane road during rush hour :) I'm not like this if I'm a pedestrian. Do communities like fuckcars encourage people to adopt a more extreme response to cars? Is the internet radicalizing me? Is it worth it? The majority of the time biking is great and I'm happy to not be driving around, but sometimes I'm done with cars being cars: dangerous, entitled, and they stink and I lose my patience. Car blocking the entire road? I'm saying something. Car tail gating me? I'm moving to the center of the road until it's safe to pass. I'm in a Canadian city. I've never had any incidents with cars and I've been commuting on my bike in bike lanes/roads for like 8 years.

Completely different strategy: the PS4 generation has produced a lot of games, sony could have stopped trying to compete with the high end PC market and gone in the Nintendo direction. Gives us new ways to access their library, give developers new tools to play with, release a 2nd mid-gen refresh and release a ps4 slim that is equivalent to the ps4 pro, encourage games for new ps4-slim and ps4 pro+. What do you think?

I think apple is doing some planned obsolescence with their software. I'm not sure exactly when, but I've been stuck on my current iOS version for more than a year. So 5-6 years of support? It's not very long for a trillion dollar company to support one of their main product lines.
The bottom line for me is that I just don't care about this area of tech. It anti-interesting to me. Handheld computer that can make calls, we've had them for 20 years now. Very cool, mostly unchanged. The screen is better. They still break when you drop them. There are a lot of apps now.

It's not just democracies ramping up policing efforts and handing out unnecessarily punishing sentences to protesters. The world seems to have become more hostile since the pandemic took our economies for a tumble. On a societal level it makes sense that government institutions are clamping down on civil disobedience at the same time that disobedience is ramping up because of economic/social/climate/everything else problems

I caught covid a couple weeks ago and it's been draining physically as expected but also mentally. Starting week 3 now of not really being able to do anything except walk around the block. Bad habits creeping in. I feel like crap. Spending way too much time on youtube/social media. I remember in the past that when I started to recover from an illness I'd get a boost of motivation, but I hadn't noticed that I was actually feeling depressed. I think part of it was feeling weak and not being able to counter intrusive thoughts. All the stress of regular life sort of piled on in and I had no defence against it.
Here are my basics: - Hydroponics: lettuce, basil, strawberries, microgreens. Cost to implement well ~ $350CDN - Yoghurt: Cost to implement well ~ $50 - Crochet + yarn: mainly for making dishcloths. $5 - Mayo: I like mayo, obviously, but it doesn’t last very long. Has anyone made mayo that lasts as long as store bought? More advanced ideas? - locally sourced meat and eggs: is this cheaper? I’m in Vancouver BC and there are a lot of farms in the valley. Logistics seems challenging. - jarring: is it worth learning how to do this and investing in the equipment? volunteering at a farm: I’m sure this would net some food - solar power or bike generator: electricity is cheap here - minimalism: I’m realizing this is a lifestyle. It has taken me a while to reduce, and I’m still reducing. Are most of you like this? And things that can save money, but I don’t want to do: - Bread: I don’t like making bread. Bread machine vs. buying a mixer? - Beer: I’d like to but last time I tried it was messy and space consuming - switch to cotton socks and underwear. Quantity over quality. - no alcohol or drugs: What’s your experience? - meal prep: savings seem big if combined with jarring. But if I had food prepped I’ll eat it, cheaper to skip meals? Any other ideas welcome. I’m looking to save $$$ by spending $$
This is coming out next week and I just heard about it. No trailers, just a [poster](https://a.ltrbxd.com/resized/film-poster/4/3/8/6/9/2/438692-how-do-you-live--0-230-0-345-crop.jpg?k=53795dd798.
