It’s really tough to get your attention span back, especially if you have an attention disorder. I know that for me it’s so easy to fall back into old habits (like I’m doing now) if life is not going exactly perfectly, cause I just get tired and doing anything else is just too much effort that I already exhaust at work and chores.

I wish you luck in trying to move away from screens, or if you stay on screens, that the time is spent on more memorable activities - movies, TV shows, educational content, documentaries etc.

I love how it’s been days since that rumor has been debunked and yet people still bring it up like it has any factual value. I want to hear the actual bad things JD Vance did, and not a imagined reality.

I’ve tried it, tastes like beans with bread.

Very interesting! Something that was missing from me in the 2nd article is whether the food allergy persisted after he rid himself of worms, which I assume that it did, given how he had traded the food allergy for a constant stomachache.

Still very interesting and all this stuff reminds me of the fact that don’t yet know almost anything in medicine and are often just treating illnesses once they come, sometimes in gruesome or expensive ways, and I’m not sure we should immediately discard all alternative medicine as useless or ineffective, maybe it’s only effective in rare cases and we don’t know what those cases look like.

Yes I know, I’ve coded in .NET before, but so are class names.

How is OldMan a property here? It’s clearly the name of a class

You’re lying. 42 a day is the limit.

It’s funny since it should then be “chicken broth” if translated, no? Also the “posho” spelling is funny, since it’s the same word “pollo”

Yeah but he was being pedantic over the word “impossibly”. If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it’s not impossible, right?

The fuck? Get off the internet for a bit and touch some grass

They serve different purposes, what’s wrong with having both bikes and cars? People live outside of cities too, you know

I’d say not really, since you put handcuffs on the wrists, but you can still move them (even if slightly) and make the 🤌 motion.

Is the recent XZ backdoor (and something that had to do with SSH too) anything to worry about in terms of the probability of there being a backdoor even in open source router software?

Not trying to dissuade anyone here, I love open source software, I’m just wondering how much effort is reasonable to be put into securing your local network (i.e. buying your own router, also installing open source software, or writing your own router software if you don’t trust existing solutions) given that not everyone is tech savvy and you get diminishing returns for every additional security measure. And when is the usual point at which you would say “okay, this is secure enough”?

My router is not from an ISP, but it does get frequent firmware updates and I don’t use any cloud management features, only local configuration.

I’m curious, does running open source software somehow exempt you from getting malware?

Duh, it’s NASA, they can fly to the Moon or Mars

Yeah but not all people live on American soil…

ITT: Americans who can’t fathom generic medicine names

Tylenol isn’t the medicine, paracetamol is. I love having grown up in a European country which mandates pharmacies to very clearly inform you, not just in some fuck ass place, but repeat to you 3 times, that there is a cheaper generic version which does the same thing.

Wow, that must mean that we’re in captivity! /s

Even if animals in captivity did live longer (which @WallEx@feddit.de contradicts), wouldn’t it make more sense to think it’s because of better treatment and healthcare?
