Any y'all got any tips for getting worries about the future out of your head?

I'm trying to get better at the whole "If you don't have anything to add, don't get involved. If joining in won't be good for you, don't join in." thing. I'm still bad at it, but I at least now know it's a problem.

Counterpoint: If you're working from home it might be the only people contact you get for days.

Supposedly talking to people and touching grass is healthy.

For anyone who hasn't seen it before, Tauri is basically Electron, but it doesn't ship a full chromium browser with each application.

Basically, I hope it replaces all Electron apps. :P

I'm thinking things like where they don't give you access to a console. I guess like Android or things with heavy parental controls or whatever.

I mean pretty much any distro that isn't locked down will be good for programming. All you really need is a package manager with a selection of at least somewhat modern dev tools, which almost all of them have.

It was not (at least not entirely). It was mostly general frustration at the demonisation of lgbt folks and contraception in the past, mostly due to Catholocism. If there wasn't as much of that, then I think HIV probably wouldn't be as much of a "thing" as it is nowadays.

I was taking to my sister, who is an artist, about setting up Linux and warned them about poor Adobe support. Their response was "⭐ 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝒶𝒹𝑜𝒷𝑒 ⭐" due to their AI shenanigans and high costs.

So thanks modern Adobe for making it easier for people to switch to Linux.

For most people, the only security they really need is against people either stealing devices or accessing them without permission. In those cases, biometrics (if implemented properly) and passwords are roughly equivalent.

Maybe we wouldn't have to have so much testing if bigots hadn't pushed so hard to spread HIV around vulnerable people.

I mean, I can kinda see it being useful for people wanting to sell a wee box that does nothing but launch a game on steam.

Ignoring the obvious bait in the title, I think it's mostly a numbers thing. On Reddit you can follow only communities that you vibe with, and the voting system works to keep low quality posts down. I'd be surprised if there wasn't the same proportion of people on Reddit that you find objectionable, but they're stuck in the bowels of downvote hell.

Or maybe you're just surrounded by people with different views or life experiences and don't know how to process it. Idk.

 

Stumbled upon this game and had fun with the demo. Might be up some people's alley.

 

Hey all, I'm British so I don't really know the ins and outs of the US healthcare system. Apologies for asking what is probably a rather simple question.

So like most of you, I see many posts and gofundmes about people having astronomically high medical bills. Most recently, someone having a $27k bill even after his death.

However, I have an American friend who is quick to point out that apparently nobody actually pays those bills. They're just some elaborate dance between insurance companies and hospitals. If you don't have insurance, the cost is lower or removed entirely. Supposedly.

So I'm just asking... How accurate is that? Consider someone without insurance, a minor physical ailment, a neurodivergent mind and no interest in fighting off harassing people for the rest of their life.

How much would such a person expect to pay, out of their own pocket, for things like check ups, x rays, meds, counselling and so on?

 

So https://meow.social/@TwilightSaint/112810490753805813 popped up in my feed and I had to find the full version. Sharing here because it's really nice.

 

Hydration is important.

 

So another thread ( https://lemmy.world/post/17746018 ) got me wondering... How many people would want to move to another country?

Just to provide a concrete scenario, let's assume that in your current country you (magically) have a decent-ish job. They open up offices in another country of your choosing, and you have the option of moving there and work for an equivalent living wage.

They're able to get visas set up (however improbable that may be) for you and any family, but you have to go through the process of finding housing, physically moving your belongings and anything else you need to set up.

What countries would you take the offer to move to, if any?

 

Not my photo or mastodon, but figured it would be worth sharing.

I love the cardboard visor.

 

So this is something I've been thinking about a bit recently, and I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on the matter.

Lets suppose you meet someone, and chat socially with them. Maybe a work colleague, maybe a friend met through a friend. You aren't that close with them, but you get the vibe that they aren't a bigot or judgemental at the very least. If the conversation turned to furry stuff, would you tell them that you like furry art?

Do you keep a different set of non-furry socials for your irl friends and family? What about having a furry profile pic on your work slack? Or your Github? Do you try hard to make sure that nobody will be able to find your secret furry double life if they know you IRL?

I guess, in essence, I'm wondering if you draw a hard line between your "sfw furry life" and your "IRL life".

 

Stumbled upon this artist on bluesky ( https://bsky.app/profile/accelldraws.bsky.social ), and their art is adorable.

Not sure how well known they are, but look at how soft everything is!
