If there are people who care about you, it’s not only selfish but also cruel. All you’re doing is passing on your pain to them.

LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else here that stopped watching TV almost completely?6·5 months agoI’ve been an avid news reader my whole life, and recently experimented with completely avoiding political and mainstream news for the past six months (I still read tech, science and entertainment news)…
At least for me, life has been at 99% less stressful. Anything truly important, someone I know will always tell me. I can’t see myself going back.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would happen if dead leaves suddenly became the most valuable currency in the world?4·6 months agoPeople would start cutting down trees and plants so they could have more. Then that would cause inflation which in turn would cause people to cut more trees and plants. Carbon dioxide would soar, and then we all die.

LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress?6·7 months agoA combination of this and avoiding political news and discussion altogether (as much as I can anyway).
What’s the point of reading, discussing and/or arguing when in the end the only thing that matters is your vote (and money/time if you’re able and so inclined).
The news tries to rile you up, and all I really need to know is who won once the election happens, until then I’m avoiding it.

A really old book, how to win friends and influence people, can teach you this.
I found the book “Feeling Good” by Dr. David Burns to be extremely helpful. It teaches you the most common method therapists use (cognitive behavior therapy). Like therapy, you need to continually practice it for it to be useful.
Practicing mindfulness can also be very beneficial.
If it’s available in your area, Ketamine therapy (not recreational ketamine) has been shown to act as a rapid antidepressant. In the US, there are at home ketamine providers that you can consult online. There’s a popular low-dose provider that includes provider visits and medication for $129/month, if you qualify.

I use Bluebuild to create a reproducible system, plus a post-install script to handle other post-install tasks such as setting up initial preferences.
Also Vorta to backup files and settings to external HD, plus OneDrive Linux client to sync files and settings to cloud.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit removed "low usage" features from old.reddit2·8 months agoYes I do. That could be it, thanks!
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit removed "low usage" features from old.reddit3·8 months agoWhy do all the videos on redlib say <MEDIA>@https://redlib.nohost.network? Is there a setting I need to change?
If you vote for a party that does not support Universal Basic income, that does not make you evil. But if that party also supports killing black people, and you vote for it soley because of Universal Basic income even though it comes with the side-effect of killing black people, you are absolutely evil.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit mods ban for "not punctuating correcttly"6·10 months agoThe only way to use reddit is to never post. Read it if you need to, but use strong anti trackers and ad blocks. This way they won’t get to use or abuse you.
As someone who switched from Windows to Kinoite about 6 months ago (and now using bluebuild to create custom images), wether to use an atomic distro or not comes down to how much time do you want to spend learning everything.
I’m a very technical person with years of experience, and I’m still figuring a lot out. You’r not only learning about the ins and outs of linux, but now your adding more complexity with an atomic distro, and even more if you decided to create your own image.
Atomic distros are very much a work in progress and they do have issues you won’t find in non-atomic distros. Creating your image allows you to get around some issues you may run into that layering alone can’t do.
Also, keep in mind that version upgrades (which happen every 6 months or so on Fedora based atomic distros like Bazzite), can and do sometimes break apps baked into your image until they are updated (which also happens in non-atomic distros). Flatpaks can help avoid this breakage.
There are other distros that are gaming focused if atomic distros are not for you.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has anyone else noticed a large influx of Trolls lately?32·1 year agoIt’s election season, so get used to this. Other countries have learned how to divide us using social media, not to mention the years of experience Fox New and Co. have in doing just that. On top of it, we now have AI generated posts to contend with. It’s not getting better anytime soon…personally, I just ignore any post that sounds like it’s inflammatory (which sadly are almost all political posts, and everything Musk).
