  • Do you have the same feeling as OP, though? Does smartphone time feel worse than desktop time, with the same activities?

  • I want to add, not just "worth my time", but after writing out the response, one can ask oneself: "Does this add in a meaningful way?". If not, and reformulating/reapproaching is not worth it, then Cancel and leave the thread.

  • The Cancel button may be used as often as the Reply button

  • I agree with both rules. - Or do I?

  • I think you're correctly labeling what is necessary, but I don't think it will help OP develop them.

    How did you learn the skill of purposely removing yourself?

    I guess it's the typical cycle of awareness → action practice.

  • Gotta have a strategy for deciding on a stopping point. A good overall goal for a social media argument is to get people reading to consider things

    These two are the main points in my eyes.

    I do engage in responses and discussion to a specific comment or person, but only so far as it seems like a productive and good or decent-faith one. Beyond that, I consider whether it's worth it to set the record straight.

    If it's a public, shared resource that we have to cultivate. Giving it up to the loudest or strongest-opinioned would be a negative influence on the community. I think a sense of justice, correctness/validity/truthfulness, and moral also plays into it.

    I enjoy reasoning and formulating, and also thinking about how best to approach or defuse (bad) arguments/bait. The act of doing so is practice as well, useful in other situations, too. So, even ignoring the public record/shared resource aspect, it's not like you gain nothing from formulating responses.

  • Maybe on one of those drives that fake their size and at some point begin overwriting previous data. Metadata still there, but content of earlier files completely corrupt. /s

  • Energy money doesn't offset water consumption or other environmental effects.

  • Imagine making 18k millionaires with that money. And the alternative is those blocked (likely for good reason) data centers.

  • It's the fascist takeover through ICE. Immigration is the surface level on-paper speak. The overreach is not an accident or exception; it's the rule and the plan of intimidation and taking control.

  • "US joins Iran" - great wording - what a shitshow

  • That says “proposed” - not implemented, though?

    And if it's under Trump's administration, I can't take anything like that as any indication of reason or sustainability.

    Trump is part of crime.

  • “can't be traced” - it's a public blockchain, though. Everyone can see and trace transactions.

    When the money source is clear - it's the shipping companies - you can trace their transactions.

  • Is it a war crime to attack the military leader? I kind of doubt that. Military targets are fine under international law.

  • What kind of measures do current Denuvo versions take that they need these kinds of bypasses?

  • My understanding, or assumption from considering classic physical goods, is that if you buy the digital product you may be able to resell it, but if you license it it's not buying and you don't own a product you can resell.

    If GoG licenses you a product you can download and can archive, then it's not bought and may not be resellable. (?)

  • Who manages the access, who platforms, and serves the NFT content?

    If it's up to the store to do so, you don't need NFT for that. The store can already do that.
