This is genuinely grim

You will quell any awkwardness quickly by placing the toilet paper facing away from the wall.

What do you mean by charts?

If you just mean general engagement, the beat for matrix would be to wait until element is stable enough that we can recommend the platform to a broader audience, and then it’ll just be lots of patience.

I feel bad for everyone who needs censorship bypass apps.

Also if anyone needs a pointer, I just tested Element again and it’s gotten good enough, and it’s technical design makes the matrix protocol more resilient against censorship of any kind. Although I would love to see some more audits and comments from experts.

Dw I was just taking the piss

Ngl not my most coherent joke so I get it xd

Ah yes the Nintendo lagging indicator to check if societal norms have changed. Wonder how long it takes until we get the gay marriage and gender dlc…

Extremely difficult.

I tried dating apps, but ultimately I have friends who I asked out and I got rejected.

For me the hard thing is going out and socializing. It’s just statistics; the more you go out to random places and meet new people, the more likely you are to find someone, but it drains my energy like nothing else and I also gotta gather confidence after only ever being rejected.

Turns out dating is hard, but as long as you keep being open it’ll happen at some point.

Tbf statistical calculations put grooming on discord in the higher percentages unfortunately.

That said I don’t get what their endgame is. Blanket ID verifications will clearly eat into their bottom line, making it unsustainable. Either there’s some limits on it that I’m not aware of or they just budget in a huge decrease in margins.

I just don’t get the logic of “we do it to fight grooming”, because it just doesn’t make sense timing wise, but “we do it because UK and Australia are making us do it anyway” also doesn’t pan out because I just cannot imagine the predicted results look manageable.

The results are kinda obvious regardless. Losing their core audience and subsequently twisting their bottom line, just like Facebook.

That’s fucked

My life is on there, and I ain’t gonna give them any ID. Wth do they expect me to do

Yeah if you wanna go tht way you have to go etheral and memory only. That means either a VM with auto reset, or tails or something. However, this is not feasible for the average Linux user.

Sometimes it’s hard to start a new art project. Creative restraint can be really helpful. Example: starting a song with only live recorded samples, or painting a picture with only 5 colors, or writing something from the perspective of an animal.

This is more of a “be aware of your footprint” and less of a “security concern”. This post is pressing hard on the fear of data getting stolen, however none of these things are major ways in which your data gets stolen.

It’s phishing, social engineering, default configurations, weak passwords, no MFA, compromised online-services and supply-chain-attacks, and then, and only then are we even talking about actual CVEs in your local system and app environment. And usually we are talking old ones; for apps which you haven’t updates in a while, as they are the most common.

What I’m saying is for your target audience, this is exactly the wrong thing to focus on. Tech savvy users might wanna look into this but they are very likely aware of all these things, and amateurs definitely should focus on basic security practices.

What is your life’s purpose?

I used to ask friends about it because I was in a bad spot. I got “to have fun” “nothing” and “I’m depressed, so I’m looking for one”. There’s no right or wrong, but it can be incredibly helpful to motivate you day-to-day actions if you feel stuck not knowing what to do.

Mine is “to be helpful to other people”. I wanna leave the world knowing I armed the right people with tools to make major positive change. So a lot of my time I dedicate to technical tasks that my friends need help with, and it gives me meaning.

Some can be selfish, some less impactful and some nonsensical. But I think especially people who can’t get out of bed are the ones potentially having the biggest positive influence on the world, and so these people need a reason. And then if you do a small thing every day, you’ll feel like you’re on track, and that feeling is important.

Sry for the rambling but I have thought about this topic a lot ^^’

I think it might change your art, but let me explain why I don’t think it’s that bad: whenever you change your habits, you will notice a difference to your mood and day-to-day headspace.

Antidepressants also change your habits, and thus they change what you think about, when you can be creative, and how you create.

I used to be scared that I would “lose the spark” over time when my habits changed drastically or when I took breaks from my craft, and I still am, but I can tell you in 8 years I’ve always bounced back and I still do some cool things and other people like some of the things I do. It definitely changed, but I know I learn and grow and thus my experiences necessarily change anyway, and so change in inevitable. BUT: for now it hasn’t stopped me - sometimes I just need a little bit of a push.

Honestly just see what it’s like and don’t get scared when your habits and thoughts change. Try to adapt to it and switch up your workflow if it absolutely won’t work. And don’t forget: you can always add restraints to kick-start your process. Best of luck and may your future art be beautiful as well:)

So you want that community to change because you don’t like it.

It looks everyone else is fine with it. So you got two options: block it on your end, and / or make your own the way you want.

I understand this is not what you expected, but just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it needs to change just for you.

Btw there’s a reason that people don’t like to hear often: we do not have reddit numbers, and therefore if you do not allow reposts from reddit, a lot of communities would be basically dead.

Pretty sure they used a master ball to catch him and he is weak to ground type attacks.

Maybe too many eggs in one basket
