  • Full metal Alchemist is my bet.

    Otherwise I know a lot of good animes but they tend to glorify unhealthy relationships looks at the space cowboy murdering people.

  • What is the dead-simple(est) way to onboard compeltely new people to Lemmy/Feddy

    Jump

  • Are spectra.video and lethallava.land special? Idk about them.

    Also didn't mean to diss you, just that, I as a new person to lemmy would have avoided them. There's a mix of rational and irrational fear for weird looking links in me.

  • The domain names don't seem very inviting.

  • Hey only @ml and @hexbear are tankie right? World and ee aren't tankie are they?

  • Do you live in a country where you think the laws are reasonably in line with what you think is just? Do the decisions of your courts usually meet your expectations in this respect?

    Jump

  • Oh that's interesting. These allowances and restrictions seem useful, so this labelling of Afd as what it is isn't a nothing changes move.

    Thank you for your insights.

  • Okay, that was strange. So Afd has now been labelled a far right extremist party, a few days after we had this discussion. Is this a sign of political will to ban them?

  • Fediverse Corporate and National Sabotage

    Jump

  • That actually sounds like a great idea. However, I feel like that won't be enough to stop countries from wanting to ban fediverse platforms outright(if they decide to do so). I even read a news article talking about the how the current US administration doesn't like Wikipedia because they are spreading "propoganda". Or like how thy are trying to force change in independent universities by cutting their funding.

  • In addition, the party must intend to impair or eliminate the free democratic basic order. Elimination means "the abolition of at least one of the essential elements of the free democratic basic order or its replacement by another constitutional order or another system of government".

    Seems like a catch 22. They would need the party to be in power and to try and dismantle the democratic elements before they get a ban. But wouldn't it be too late then? Because if they're in power, what's stopping them from reducing the courts to puppet shows? (like arguably what's slowly happening in the US) or what happened in the 1940s.

    From what I can tell (I am an outsider), the party's manifesto seems to aim to do exactly that. Is that not a reasonable enough reason? I know they aren't outright nazis themselves, but I've heard whispers and about connections to those who are openly nazis themselves. Like elon Musk who is openly a nazi.

    Are the courts confident the Afd won't pull a Nazi third reich? I wonder if the checks and balances in germany are stronger than those in other countries. In the end, it will only matter to whom the police listens to.

    Banning them seems like a question of political will, instead of having the right procedure in place.

  • I had heard that they were going to ban the afd (some court?) . Is that not happening?

  • Don't worry fam, I got you.

  • This ICE-snitching app is actually promoting a meme coin

    Jump

  • No it hasn't. It's just that whenever you call a facist a facist they say "You call everyone a facist!". This is how they work - they deny, delay and downplay any critique.

  • Why is Germany so prevalent on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Wait, isn't that the word for liking the wrong kind of Germans?

  • What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?

    Jump

  • True.

    What helped me is doing it in small sessions. Like only for 5 minutes or just 2-3 minutes or just doing breathing exercises and not doing the mindful part.

    Before sleep worked best when I was super tired, sometimes I just fell asleep while meditating and that was really sweet. You can do it lying down as well.

    But yeah, not going to lie, it's difficult to get that "mindful" state.

  • Ah, lol, meant it as a joke. I apologise if it seemed "just get a planner, duh!"

    I have ADHD(enough to disrupt life quite a bit), and you are right, it is very difficult to just concentrate. I hate concentrating, it's frustrating and I lose every time.

    But for me, none of the medicines available to me work or help any of the problems with ADHD and I don't have money for it. So I've been deciding to raw dog life and instead meditation in part has helped me with handling some things.

    I've been meditating for past 6 months straight now (not very successfully). But I continue to do it because of the discipline's gentle nature. There are no hard and fast rules. I can be meditating and it won't be what most people call meditating but it helps me calm down and I like that. Brief moments/seconds of calmness are worth it for me.

    And over time, while reading up more about meditating, I've learnt that it's also very very normal for the mind to wander, that's like the default mode for it. More so for people with ADHD. I think you aren't supposed to be perfectly focused (at least for most people). All you are supposed to do is to acknowledge what you feel and try and move on and feel what you are feeling in the moment without any judgement. It's very difficult and not being able to do it is fine. Over time, you get a little better at it while you incur other benefits of Meditation.

    It's more than just trying to attain peace, it's about learning to be gentle with yourself, giving yourself time for yourself, living in the moment and enjoying what little time you have.

    Meditation can mean to be different things for different people.

    I was lucky or call it unlucky to have had found the time to add meditation into my daily routine(life reasons). And even now it's difficult to do every day, with what the ADHD not rewarding me to do it. For this, the work around is to do it as much as you can but consistently and being okay with missing out on days. (It's not do or die, it's the cumulative effort). Do it for 5 minutes or three minutes, not more. Forget about doing it for hours or something, consistency matters more than the time you put in.

    There's also different methods to choose from, some are easier for folks like us. I haven't gotten into any of those, but I see people discussing it often to know. I would highly recommend the free app - medito. It has a lot of different options, courses to follow and is very beginner friendly. There's no shady backdoor, you won't be pushed into buying anything. Though It's run by an NGO and they will ask for donations time to time.

    If you have a quiet and calm place to do it, I'd highly recommend that. It really helps when the environment isn't fighting you. I forget example recently did it twice in the forest and It was beautiful.

    Also this is just my experience, try and see what works for you.

  • Meditation helps with this. Well at least it's better than nothing. Well at least you can feel superior over others because you meditate.

  • Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives

    Jump

  • Yup, that's a major reason why people didn't want to leave twitter. They'd built a following that they didn't want to rebuilt.

    I know people who hated elon Musk and had accounts on other microblogging platforms, but continued to post on twitter because that's where they got their fill of engagement.

    Shifting away from reddit to lemmy is fundamentally easier than it is from Twitter to mastadon. I think it's part in due to the nature of the type of social media platforms they are.

    free" (ignoring the negligible electricity cost) on your home computer if you want to

    Stable diffusion is alright, but it's not very accessible, you can literally put stuff together in paint.

    But this AI slop has recently started getting more prevalent (after the scam altman Ghibli trend shit) and this is most definitely the chatgpt AI slop.

    I just don't want to support those corporate pieces of shit anymore than I have to.
