  • I was told by many family members that I need to go to therapy. I suffer from severe fatigue due to my many medical conditions, so I must obviously be depressed (???). I felt fine, but I went anyway, because surely something must be wrong if so many people are insisting.

    The therapist started with, "what brings you here?" and I'm like "I don't know, my partner talked me into it." We actually had a decent discussion come out of that. Turns out that my (now ex) partner was controlling and abusive, and the problem wasn't with me at all. I didn't see it because it's apparently really hard to notice such things from the inside, but it's obvious in hindsight.

    Leaving my ex improved my mental health tremendously, but probably not in the way my ex wanted. Still tired all the time, but now I'm happier about it, more confident, and actually like myself, without all the constant negging and abuse.

    So I guess the moral is, even if you feel fine, therapy can still be helpful in unexpected ways.

  • Some of my family members talk about how good the conservative party is and they'll kick out all the "nonconformists". I just politely remind them that their party leaders hate me, as a nonconformist, and would also kick me out. It seems to briefly confuse them, but they assure me I'm "one of the good ones" and wouldn't be kicked out. The leopards won't eat my face, I'm sure

  • It's high resolution enough to take notes about your environment and answer questions with Apple intelligence. If it's as restricted by Bluetooth bandwidth, battery, etc as you claim, it would be a useless feature. It doesn't need to record 24/7, just take a snapshot every 5 minutes and if something interesting is happening maybe then start recording

  • I wonder if you did something dumb like "seeded" the beginning of your prompts with a cryptographically unique random series of characters like appucnoiwq9occks if it would be more creative?

    Seems to work at least. Still looks pretty generic to me though

  • Never heard of this company before.

    Alex Atallah described his company OpenRouter as the artificial intelligence version of the payments company Stripe. Now Stripe is buying OpenRouter.

    The deal, announced on Wednesday, combines Stripe's technology, which lets companies direct payments to other businesses, with OpenRouter's technology, which lets them direct their spending of "tokens" between different providers of A.l. models. Tokens are an atomic unit of A.l. use, roughly equivalent to a word fragment.

    I still don't really know what this company actually does. Like a token merchant or something?

  • Yeah personally if I did that I would set up my own Lemmy instance. Make it a blog type thing. But that might be too complicated for most people.

  • Do those individuals' diary communities actually show up in all? They sound kind of interesting. Kind of like an analogue to how on Reddit you could post to your own username which nobody did.

  • Ah this all makes sense to me now. I went full 99 bonk and was getting bonked instantly before I could bonk. I might make a new character with these insights in mind

  • Has EA really made creative games recently though? I'm looking at their recent games list and it's mostly: Madden, EA Sports, The Sims 4 DLC, NHL, Battlefield, Plants vs Zombies, etc. Sequels and remakes basically. With notable exceptions by subsidiary companies like Split Fiction.

    Like, if you're going to buy any company, the one where you make almost the exact same game every year and everyone still buys it is probably a safe bet.

  • South America, North America, and North North America

  • Sounds like the system needs tweaking to be less disruptive. Maybe with some actual rules on usage and reach? Especially restrictions on alerts during sleeping hours

  • Interesting definition of stupidity in that link. To summarise; they define it like this:

    • Idiots are people who bring losses to themselves as well as others.
    • Intelligent people bring benefit to themselves and others.
    • Bandits only benefit themselves to the detriment of others
    • Abuse victims bring benefits to others to their own detriment.

    I'm not sure I really agree with it, but it is interesting. Seems a bit mercantile to define intelligence entirely by perceived input/output of benefits.

  • My cat was a nut. We had this game where he would immediately jump into the most interesting-smelling grocery bag when we got home, and then expect to be carried around like a furry watermelon lol

  • Wow, yeah, 380V / 1.2A can absolutely be lethal if electrocuted… even in healthy adults. The most dangerous path for the electricity is from the hand or arm, as it can pass through the heart; which of course is exactly where you would grab a person with the glove.
