I’ve been going more often lately. I do hate having to catch up on 600 pages that’s been discussed over the past 8 years though.

Upvotes away!!

Obama

I 'member

“Cow boob juice is for baby cows” idk why they’re being down voted so hard, that shit is gold

The alternatives are:

• Windows based solution: will be super bloated, locked down preventing customizability, and will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers, I’m sure among other reasons others here will gladly point out.
• MacOS based solution: Even more locked down than a Windows based solution, hardware may even be more proprietary so good luck swapping out components yourself to fix it, and will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers.
• iOS: same reasons as MacOS, with the exception of it not being as locked down.
• Android based solution: is controlled by Google and therefore will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers.

Alternatives to Linux like other Unix based systems, FreeBSD, etc. I don’t know enough about, so whether or not it would be better on this kind of a product I don’t know.

Give me a Linux solution not backed by billion dollar corporations looking to consume as much data on you as possible, and I’ll listen lol

There’s more to it than just “develop healthy habits” though. There are psychological reasons one could have for overeating like having eating disorders or using food to treat depression which could require psychiatric assistance. My brother died at 600+ lbs after breaking two lap bands. He required some serious intervention, but we couldn’t afford what he needed, he was homeless and he couldn’t hold down a job, so he died instead.

Mind you, being overweight wasn’t the only cause for his death. He was eating very unhealthy foods because they were a cheaper means to fill himself up since his stomach was huge. His severe ADHD prevented him from being able to hold down a job despite being a fairly intelligent person.

He did some shitty things in his life, so don’t give too much sympathy, but in retrospect doing something to help his ADHD early on could have helped to prevent the train wreck that became his life. Maybe that would have helped him do better in school, be better to our parents, be able to hold down a job, etc. which could have prevented overeating to treat his depression.

For me, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Every subsequent watch, I add more to the commentary of “Is he crazy?” and “Is Nurse Ratched evil or just doing her job?”

I like how this movie’s fanbase is split on a group of people recommending the theatrical cut and another group recommending the Director’s Cut. I haven’t found another movie that has something similar.

They’re implying that there are two homeless people for every church and that every church should house two homeless people to solve homelessness. Not agreeing with OP, just trying to answer your question.

Not seeing my reply show up, so doing it again in case the previous one got lost in the abyss: Subscribed to all 3 just now and I’m looking forward to enjoying some new communities! Thank you!

Subscribed to all three of those and I’m looking forward to finding some new fun communities to be a part of, thank you!

I feel ya. I tire of the politics here, and it can get extremely left leaning, like pro-communism/pro-socialism/pro-fascism and very anti-American to the point where it’s a little sus. I get it, there’s always been anti-America sentiment surrounding conversations and in media all my life, but it’s a bit extreme here.

I go onto social media to turn my brain off, not do elaborate research on the past 500 years of colonialism so that I can make sure I’m accurately arguing my point cohesively on this one comment. At the very least, I’ll engage with conversations about tech when I’m not turning my brain off, but I hate politics/debate. I want a DDR/Stepmania/Etterna community where we can discuss new themes released, new songs on various cabinets, etc.

No one asked me to name non-US corporations that sell your personal data, but…it’s not hard to find? TikTok, Wyze, and Samsung immediately come to mind. Idk which EU legislation you’re referring to, but if they only refer to US corporations as examples, then they either have other motives for solely focusing on US (besides Zalando), or they are blind to the rest of the customer data market.

US data collection is pretty terrible, but let’s not ignore everyone else that contributes to the problem.

Fuck data brokers.

Yes.

“American corpos”? Are you implying that it’s okay to share your data with non-American corporations, or government entities?

LOL

I keep telling my wife how awesome the Fediverse is. She doesn’t share the same sentiment I do, but she also doesn’t care about Reddit. I’ll win her over one day.

Your comment reminds me of a Stephen Fry quote.

“You slip into a suit for an interview and you dress your language up, too. You can wear what you like linguistically or sartorially when you’re at home or with friends, but most people accept the need to smarten up under some circumstances.” - Stephen Fry, 5:00.
