If you filter out the “buzzwords of the week” you generally get calmer threads

Its not perfect but I’ve been lucky enough to have some very pleasant interactions here

Calvin & Hobbes genuinely shaped my personality and worldview in a way no other media has since.

I was very on board with your comment until the Meyers-Briggs pseudoscience BS and then you lost me

I love this

Integrated multiplayer? Hell yeah

Everyone can detect traps! But usually only once.

Neat idea, or, you could just tell them directly and be like “hey I’m not gonna respond here due to [reasons], come find me on signal if ya wanna chat”

People are usually more engaged when you communicate to them directly

Nah, its been becoming more popular, at least in my circles.

I put on my robe and wizard hat

Someone feel free to jump in and audit my take:

The Internet Archive is not a company, does not sell me anything, and is merely providing a public service.

The service has nothing to do with my health or wellbeing. It is not marketed as being privacy forward. Hell, the whole purpose of the project is to make data publically accessable.

Therefore, exposing email addresses… I kinda don’t care?

Of course, it would be way better if they just used generic login numbers etc instead, but… I feel like this is the equivalent of my library card number getting leaked, and these headlines are treating it like Equifax just leaked my SSN again.

That wouldn’t even fucking work, lol. You need, at minimum, a proof of address, and even if you spoofed 10 different names and addresses that each corresponded to 10 specific precincts, you’re going to be given a provisional ballot, in which case your vote doesn’t even get counted until it has been independently researched and verified by county workers, which if it succeeds, won’t get counted till a week later.

God. I fucking hate that these idiots have a non-zero chance of winning.

Yeah, this is a big part of why I stopped using discord recently. Not yet sure of any alternatives but leaving is step one.

What the hell? Every bit of resume advice I’ve ever gotten has said to use PDF to protect from potential formatting errors due to display differences.

Man I fucking love this community sometimes. This is like the 5th fantastic self hostable open source software I’ve seen since joining lemmy, and every time, it gives me that feeling of discovering the internet all over again.

SEO has ruined indexers

I never mention my ADHD to anyone but my therapist and friends I’ve known for several years. I don’t want people to change how they treat me, whether for better or worse, when they find out about it.

Watching dune 2 in the IMAX theatre with my buds was perhaps one of the greatest movie experiences in my life

This is such a weird phenomenon that I entirely relate to.

I found a job where my boss doesn’t care when I show up so long as the work is getting done.

The only other solution that works for me is going to bed obnoxiously early (like 9) and aiming to show up an HOUR ahead of time.
