This is disheartening. Not surprising, but deeply shitty.

The new one did seem to hit me harder than the previous two boosters, but I got the flu shot at the same time so it could be either. Means it's working, I guess. It only lasted a day or two for me.

It's subscription based, but Nebula is creator owned I believe. Sucks though that everything free gets acquired by some extractive company.

Green room is fantastic.

I find that slowing down and just meandering through the things I have to do more slowly and comfortably, actually helps when I feel burned out. Maybe with some music. Feelings of urgency/tension in my body actually sap my energy way too quickly, before I can even get started. So I focus on managing stress preemptively.

This is not applicable to everyone or every situation but it made a big difference for me.

I have memories of different therapy words that my divorced parent and others used to disparage their exes in the 1990s. It's an awful circle. Nobody can just have normal conflict.

Thank you friend

Bad news, but also I am relieved to hear that Ricefail is an apparently common experience.

Yes! Switching around naturally when it feels right is the way. No more shame, just following the brain signals where they lead.

Every time I cook rice it comes out bad. Tips? I'd like to be able to make edible rice without purchasing an appliance. Movies and history tell me this is possible??

Exactly. The US government does not want to stop it.

Clarissa-Jan Lim wrote a great article which called it 'Panopticontent'. That phrase lives in my head forever now.

And not for the better. I think people are actually much less kind to each other when they are aware of being observed. Or worse, deliberately performing for content.

What's the potential consequence of using an out of date app?

This one is SOOOOOO COOL though. Did not encounter it until I was in college

No one's burying their head in the sand. They're reacting to the fact that it sounds here like you are resenting women for talking about their own oppression. It's not zero sum my friend. We know patriarchy hates men too. This specific article just wasn't really about that. There are other places on Lemmy that are talking more specifically about the issues you raise here, though.

Your last paragraph here is very important. There are massive political implications to these kinds of family and group dynamics.

Gotcha. This is a valuable clarification. Thanks!!

I have a moto g 5g 2023 which is apparently different than the moto 5g, and an A9+ tablet. I found a thread talking about the difference and some regional reasons why my phone and others like it don't always have support. It looks like versions of these OSes often just don't exist for a lot of devices, because fewer people use them. The lineage website did have a lot of samsung devices listed though and might have yours, so there definitely are some options. But it's not every phone, which sucks, but i think the warnings about bricking are real and not just discouragement.

Honestly opening up software on consumer devices should be the law and mayyybe one day it will be in the us (eu allowed some semblance of alternative app stores recently and that's something? ) but I think those of us with the less common and budget mobile devices might just have to wait for now. Or continue living inside the matrix, as someone else here said.

Alas, it looks like none of the devices I own right now are actually compatible with Calyx, graphene or lineage right now. :( I own less popular models of devices, but I erroneously thought any android device would be interchangeable here when I first made this post.

Your last sentence is something I didn't know. That's cool

I think a lot of people deep in linux and computer science communities might not realize that tons of people outside that subculture feel exactly the same way they do and want the same things, we just didn't go to school for it. No one is trying to water down the niche spaces that are important to people or deny the hard work that was done by people in decades past. We just want to understand and do what's been recommended to us, and information should be for everyone because the goal is increased adoption and digital freedom in society, right? Anyway this kinda means a lot coming from a person with your background so thank you.

Thanks for all this detail, I appreciate it!

Thank you!

We need an ecosystem of nontechnical tech forums for the rest of us. Real 'define every term' hours. I would start this if I knew enough.

Good to know. Thanks.

There is a lot of mixed information out there about whether or not non-proprietary things have 'caught up' in usability for the average person. Thanks for the feedback.

I've installed a lot of things that say they work fine that don't, and I've followed a lot of 'simple' instructions that were not simple to me. I made this post to ask people about their actual experiences and get feedback from people about things I might not have thought of myself.

This forum is called no stupid questions.

Frankenstein is sooooooooo good.

I was considering picking this one up. Good to know it lives up.

This one is so good.

Tilda as gabriel was so incredibly iconic

How tricky is this to install and use? I have a samsung and use lots of the usual apps. Wondering if it would be feasible for that purpose.

No, thanks for the clarification. I misunderstood that part.

I genuinely don't even know where to buy an affordable device that is free from this kind of control. Some company always has outsized control (and in some cases arguably surveillance) over anything you can find on the market. It sucks so bad.

Ew. Fuck google

Ooooo

Sexual harrassment like this is a political tactic to prevent women and other marginalized folks from doing or saying things in public that might shift the balance of power or affect things. It is an attempt to punish and threaten people and deter others, so that wealthy white guys will be the only ones who are allowed to be active in public.

Maybe this is obvious and goes without saying, but I'm saying it because I think some people may not see the pattern or the intent behind it. This is so much more than one creepy comment and more than Taylor. See also Nina Jankowicz, gamergate, the several high profile woman politicians who have resigned. Smarter people than me have written and talked about this and how it has manifested in different forms. Online sexist harassment is an organized political force with a goal. It's not just that this one guy sucks.

It's not deranged. There are degrees and nuances to all human relationships and situations but this was and is a pretty public one. These are hard choices for anyone but they do still matter. I don't think smiling and nodding is acting like an adult, I think it's cowardly. There is no maturity in avoiding things.
