  • What's something you started doing arbitrarily that's been really positive for you?

    Jump

  • I want to second this. I know it sounds crazy but walking has changed my life.

  • A long long time ago...

    Jump

  • Exactly the same for me. I was worried people will not get it but it has never been a problem for almost 2 years now.

  • Neurodiverse people, how much alone time do you need?

    Jump

  • A looot of it. Ideally, I will participate in one social event a week on average. I can go up to like 3 times in a week but I will need more recharge time after that.

    I used to be in a relationship and live with a roommate but I don't think I would be able to do that nowadays. Being alone with my hobbies in my perfectly clean and organized apartment is just pure bliss, ya know?

    Sometimes I get so lost in my hobbies and hyperfixations that I feel like I could completely forget about other people. This doesn't seem healthy at all though so I actively push myself to regularly keep in touch with the few good friends that I have.

  • I would say NixOS might be even more cultish. I am a part of that cult.

  • People really do post the most unhinged stuff in order to gain visibility.

    Jump

  • Does posting this kind of nonsense actually work? Are there people who read this? Does this land them better jobs, clients? I can't comprehend engaging in braindead bullshit like this...

  • My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased.

  • Is it even possible to not care at this age though? At this point school and interacting with your peers is a vast majority of your life. I don't think I have ever seen a kid being bullied every day at school and not caring. How can you not care if you're scared?

    I guess it is possible as you get older, more mature and closer to adulthood. But for a kid in a primary or middle school? Kinda hard to imagine for me.

  • How do your toughts work?

    Jump

  • If I'm actually reading with the goal of thorough understanding then it will take as long as reading it aloud or longer. I can still skim through the text faster, but I will understand less of it.

    The Wikipedia article on subvocalization has a section on speed reading. It seems that subvocalizing can in fact limit the reading speed.

    Jump

  • This is not a good explanation because as someone already pointed out a lot of (most?) people do "read the words aloud in their head". For me, I often even make tiny moves of my tongue and larynx - see subvocalization.

  • Locked

    What is a good example of a necessary evil?

    Jump

  • Literally the point of money is to exchange it for something.

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

    Jump

  • Excellent explanation. Saving this for discussions with friends.

  • Those little bastards are the WORST!

    Jump

  • Maybe they just want you to let your guard down to deal the final blow when you least expect it? Better be careful!

  • Those little bastards are the WORST!

    Jump

  • Yes, I hate them! And apparently you can literally fucking die from messing with them too?!

  • why didnt Enlightenment desktop recieve much adoption

    Jump

  • Yes! I actually couldn't resist reading it again when posting it.

  • Well, I didn't even get to this part. But... it doesn't have scrollback? Really? That's crazy!

  • I mean, I would say it's not a half bad thing to build your identity around.

  • Since the review doesn't mention any downsides I'm gonna go ahead and share one. This might seem like a tiny thing but relatively slow startup turned out to be a total deal breaker for me. In my workflow, I open and close a lot of terminal windows. Sometimes I spawn terminals just for a few seconds to run a single command and then close them. Kitty and Alacritty launch instantaneously whereas Ghostty has a noticeable lag which was just infuriating to me. Also, it doesn't have any useful (for me) features not present in Kitty so yeah, I guess it's not for me.

  • Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers

    Jump

  • Not Apple fans though. They can't wait to use their new Vista!

  • how can I stop spiralling about my breakup?

    Jump

  • It's like a week since you went no contact if I gather correctly. That's still very early. In my case, for instance, I barely left my bed for the first 2 weeks. All the other stuff came a bit later. I don't really remember how much exactly. So yeah, unfortunately the answer is still just time.

    I might have another suggestion as well. For me journaling was kinda helpful. My head was full of alternative scenarios, questions to ask and things to say to my ex. Since I couldn't do that, writing it down cleared my head a little bit. I guess don't do that if it will make you dwell on the breakup even more. But if that's all you think about anyway, then there's probably nothing to lose here.

    Sending virtual hugs your way. Be strong!
