⚠️ I follow and comment on NSFW stuff.

I'm a 36m British writer, designer, gaymer, lefty snowflake, and AuDHDer. I never shut up about Ace Attorney, and I collect Tamagotchis. Trying to learn Japanese, currently N4-ish. Ask for my Slowly ID!

Also trying PieFed: @meejle@piefed.world

  • There's the slow-and-not-very-capable link preview thing... and I could've sworn the "what's new" page the other day said they were adding an on-device model to improve search results or something, but I can't find the reference to it now.

    Maybe they removed it after all the AI backlash. 😬

  • Because that's what their parents told them

  • Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.

    Come on, this isn't Reddit, at least skim the article before you start with the performative outrage.

  • How many eggs is that?

  • Only tenuously related, but this post reminded me about their 2023 cyber-attack. I check every now and again to see whether they've managed to recover from it yet. And… nope. 🤔

  • This always gets posted (without the X part) and I refuse to believe they put the Windows logo in the bin. Too lazy to actually check though. 🚮

  • That's a relief, because everything is computer now

  • All I knew about him before this is that he's young and tall

  • Progressive People Say Rachel Reeves Should Get in the Sea

  • Aw, hey, the imaginary dolls are back! I missed them!

  • Vandalising something that can record you might not be the smartest thing

  • But seriously tho, it's just depression, can't sleep, hence this showerthought

    Well... maybe. You've accidentally come up with something that actually exists, called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. And about half of people with DSPD have depression. 😬 (Also common in ADHDers.)

    The circadian rhythms of people with DSPD are offset compared to people without it, so it is a bit like time zones in that respect. And if you try to "fight" it, by getting up early and holding down a 9-5 job, the effects are often compared to jet lag.

  • Yep!

  • You're so welcome! Good luck getting whatever it is figured out!

    Assuming it's the same feeling, it's such a weird one to try and describe. I think that rings true though: it's like a caffeine buzz, only it makes you feel sluggish instead of energised. 😅

    YMMV, but if it is diabetes, the good news is it probably won't take too many changes to start feeling better. I just went as low carb as I could bear (probably more Atkins than keto, so nothing too drastic) and cut out caffeine (it can cause blood sugar spikes). For now, that's enough to manage it without any meds or finger-pricks, and I feel so much better! You don't even feel that deprived when you're having rich, creamy sauces on everything, and I've lost 32 lbs in less than 3 months, even while snacking the normal amount. 😂 I don't even really exercise!

  • This probably sounds stupid, but I just kinda... started feeling diabetic? 😅 Like, how I was feeling matched my extremely vague idea of "what diabetes might feel like", so I asked for blood tests, and yep.

    I don't think peeing a lot was really part of mine. I just found eating usually made me feel worse instead of better, and I was starting to get occasional tingling in my hands and feet.

  • It's the lady with the distracting gaming laptop!

  • If Reform had paid them to set up 'Your Party', to make left wing politicians look like incompetent dickheads, right now they'd be saying "tone it down a bit, you're making it too obvious"
