That's a very high quality post, I appreciate you sharing it

I'm in the US and have a well off friend who had his Facebook hacked. The bad actors sent messages to his friends asking to borrow $500 until tomorrow because his bank accounts were locked and he needed the cash. Someone who was messaged by the bad actors posted a screenshot of a deepfaked video call he received that caused him to fall for it. Wild times we live in!

I'm so confused, the paper wasps around here are territorial assholes. Had a nest built on my porch and had to stop using that door. We let them be because we built the house in their woods, but they were definitely not chill at all haha

Edit: Did some learning, the regional species of paper wasps we encounter are known not only for their aggression but also their vastly more painful sting. Wonderful!

Clippy goes away and you are now alone in the black void. With the removal of this character the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed void you have created.

Neat

This is soooo relatable... My most recent obsessions were tornados and caving. Spent so much time learning all the lingo, I even located a local caving club I swore I was going to join. And then poof, my interest shifted to something else! Haha

12% is honestly way higher than I thought it would be. That number might be inflated by people looking for funny stuff on April 1st though

We need self hosted brain implant systems, haha

Hahaha, this is too accurate

I think co-pilot works better because it has the context of the whole project for reference when suggesting auto completion. I've gotten a lot of unusable junk from it too though

Once I was working on some music and got so excited about how it turned out I hit ctrl S like 5 times, it corrupted the project and I lost it 😭

First one is like a time capsule of street racing and car culture of the moment. It was better because it was grounded in reality. The driving and stunts were cool because they were believable. The new stuff is just over the top action.

To each their own :)

Speaking from experience depression has the power to render everything you used to find passion and joy in utterly unenjoyable. It sucks, and you get bored, and then you feel bad that you are bored and not doing the things you are supposed to enjoy. Have some empathy for those of us struggling :)

I was dealing with some pretty intense nihilism after my beloved dog passed away. I had thoughts like "Why put effort into anything when in 100/1000/10000 years everything I love and care about will be dead, gone, and forgotten?" It's a terrible philosophy to have and live with, incredibly depressing. I was able to escape mine through meditation with some chemical assistance. Realized that just because things don't last forever doesn't mean they don't have meaning. The fact that we're alive and conscious, experiencing things everyday, means our lives have value. The cosmic odds of us existing here and now are staggering, we're so lucky to be alive! So, to me the value is in the experiences, in the day to day.

11 years here. I was very aware the quality of content there had gone down the drain before the API stuff, so when that happened and Lemmy presented itself as a good alternative I left for good!

What a fucking tragedy that is by the way. I have such fond memories of snow days stayed home playing in the snow

This is only remotely true if you have a box dedicated to doing one single thing and nothing else. That is almost certainly not the case for the vast majority of Photoshop users

Acetaldehyde is also produced when alcohol is metabolized and it causes hangover symptoms, no amount of hydration will solve that. It's also the reason hangovers can be influenced by genetics

Brother, you need to go for a long walk
