  • GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information

    Jump

  • Agreed, but teaching them the skills to do it themselves is better than doing the process for them.

  • Locked

    Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time.

    Not totally convinced she lost.

  • YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • I use Discord primarily for text chats, specifically being able to create several topic channels on a server. Last I used TS/Vent they were for voice chats. Is that still the case?

  • Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

    Jump

  • A ton of game companies (especially indies) have moved bug reports and patch notes over to discord. Suggesting something on the steam forums often gets you redirected to their discord server. And it's not just gaming companies. I've got several pieces of software that the easiest way to find out about betas and updates are to use their discord server. It feels fairly unavoidable if you want to stay informed.

  • The radical woke subliminal message in Bad Bunny's halftime performance

    Jump

  • For many of us, that's true. And that's something present even at the college and high school football levels. Last night, I tuned in just for the halftime show and turned the game off after. Similarly, people at my college were known for leaving football games after watching the band's performance at halftime. While football is a huge deal to many, there's also a significant amount of people that only show up for the musicians.

  • I've found Kagi to be solid, but it is paid

  • my single most hated emoji

    Jump

  • When I use it, I mean ok, because that’s what it actually means. It’s simply a way to acknowledge someone was heard. I will not be changing bc others read more into it. Tis way too exhausting to consider every hidden meaning someone might have.

  • What are the most mindblowing things in mathematics?

    Jump

  • Thoughts on why small talk is so uniquely painful

    Jump

  • I’ve never felt so understood. I’ve contemplated telling people, “sorry that’s too personal of a question“ when asked. It’s painful.

  • TikTok’s algorithm will be optional in Europe

    Jump

  • Agreed, but more privacy aware options is not a bad thing.

  • Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible

    Jump

  • When will they understand, if I'm introduced to your product through an advertisement, I do not want to buy it. I will make a point not to. Do not annoy me. If your product is good enough, it will be bought.

  • Do neurotypicals really not have to do this? I'm seriously asking.

    Jump

  • I'm AuDHD. I need my keys and things in the same spot, but I also struggle to remember to actually put them there. That's the missing part of the habit for me. I have to consciously think "put them here" every time or future me will have a meltdown when they can't find what should be there.

  • Do neurotypicals really not have to do this? I'm seriously asking.

    Jump

  • On the surface, I probably look like the person you're describing, but no one knew I had an ADHD diagnosis that went ignored in childhood. No one knew how much I was masking every day. It's harder now because I have to make my own meals, clean my house, etc. All the things I didn't have to do as a kid. I got to learn, which I loved (my special interest is research) and do various activities I enjoyed, even if it was exhausting. Now, I'm stuck doing all the things I was never taught by my family, with no structure, just trying to survive. Of course it's harder than when I was a kid. Those memes help me feel valid and seen, something my family were never willing to do, but at least now I have friends that get it.

    There's so much trauma that happens from neurodivergence being ignored in childhood, and that takes time to process. I spend a lot of my days crying over all the times I wasn't allowed to cry growing up, processing things in therapy, etc. I literally can't force myself to enjoy life without first having the needed tools. It's sad that I can't do what I used to, but I'm slowly getting there. Kindness and patience are what are needed most, when that's not something I was giving as a child.

    All this to say, you never know what's below the surface.

  • Meta Threads engagement has dropped 50% in a week

  • This is me too, including every janky MMO I think I might remotely like. Gotta grab my character name. But Threads, haven't bothered to touch it.

    ELI5: How do oranges grow "pre-sliced"?

  • What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own?

    Jump

  • I've learned from the Japanese phrase 'itadakimasu,' which is said before eating as a way to thank the person that prepared the food. I think in the west, a lot of us grew up learning to say things like grace before a meal, but that is too religious for me and gives God credit for peoples' hard work instead. I love the idea of ritualistically thanking the people who actually made the food. It was one of the things I appreciated while studying there that has stuck with me.

    Biden confronts a 'pissed-off generation' of young voters who may be decisive in 2024

    Jump

  • Sadly, be shocked. I got a friend through registering to vote and even offered a ride on election day this past November and she still decided to not bother "because politics are stressful to hear about."

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world
    xXemokidforeverXx @lemmy.world

    What niche subject do you know a lot about?

  • If I go on the reddit website and scroll through posts without doing anything else, would that affect Reddit's ad revenue, or is it insignificant to Reddit?

    Jump

  • This has been my way. I knew it would be hard, so every time I find myself wanting to check reddit, I think of what I planned to do there and attempt to find an alternative. It's led to a lot more browsing the internet like I used to "back in the day." And then I only visit reddit if I can't find what I was looking for elsewhere. For most things, I find alternatives easily. I've mentioned in comments before, really the only things that I haven't been able to replace are the CPTSD and CPTSD memes subreddits.
