Hi there!

  • Does this graph account for the huge lack of available diagnosis?

    We've been on waiting lists for YEARS that only grow and grow to get a 2 hour appointment with someone who can diagnose us with ADHD.

    It'll never happen, I'm sure. The government would rather not put resources into diagnosis, so they can claim almost nobody has ADHD, and not provide any support or recognition for it.

  • Yes, we should all avoid discussion with humans at all costs, and of course already know everything anyway.

    Imagine not knowing something and asking a human for more information? Ew

  • Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin

    Jump

  • If only my TV had a Jellyfin app, I could switch, but alas it doesn't. Got to use Plex if I want to watch stuff from any home streaming thingy. That said, it's free to do that, at least.

    I just don't have the money or time to buy an external box and fiddle with it to get it running these days either, otherwise I'd build a modern version of the XBMC server I used to have in days gone by :-(

  • Do butterflies infest homes and destroy property?

    I feel like it's less what they look like, and more how they impact us. It's still very human-centric, but ya know, not so much a beauty thing as one might think at first.

  • Missing the decades in which they tried persuading, debating, discussing and educating up to this tipping point, this final straw, all to no avail.

    Are we supposed to just keep trying forever, pointlessly? Exhaustingly? Every day? For another 30 years?

    At some point for our own mental wellbeing it's time to consider that some people will simply never change, are closed to any and all discussions, and it's best for ourselves to stop trying over and over, and focus on our own mental health instead.

    I was idealistic once, and would have said there's never a time to stop trying to fix other people, to help them see a different viewpoint, or mortality, etc, but some people just can't be fixed. All you're really doing by continuing to try is breaking yourself in the process. Be kind to yourself <3

  • You stay far, FAR away from that shit, is what you do.

    Scanning people's entire history for political leanings, etc? That's some deeply dystopian stuff right there.

    It's easy to forget that these sorts of communities are dictatorships with only as much transparency as the owner wants to share. Usually they're benevolent dictators, so we don't think about it too much. But they can change in a heartbeat - and we don't ever really know what they're really thinking, or doing behind the scenes.

    When the mask slips and they reveal this sort of thing, thinking we'll just accept it and keep living under their rule, it's time to read the red flags and GET OUT.

    Hopefully someone compiles a list of places that do this stuff, so we can avoid them like the plague <3

  • especially if it's using sim/esim card. Those mobile carriers can literally do whatever the fuck they want to your phone and there's nothing you can do about it.

    Wow that's wild, how does my SIM card allow my carrier to do whatever they want to my phone?

    On the face of it, that sounds like a gigantic breach of privacy. Can they look at my photos, capture my screen, read my stored app data, intercept outbound Internet traffic before it's encrypted, etc? That's wild.

    Not to mention that I bought my phone separately, so it's got nothing to do with them. As one might imagine, I only added a SIM in order to receive traditional telephone calls, it's not otherwise useful to me.

  • What are some software red flags?

  • That's not the case at all. For ads, perhaps, but in application purchases? Many games (especially free to play games, of which there are many excellent ones) have purchases you can make in the game.

    Helldivers 2 is an excellent game, and that has DLC packs and individual items you can purchase in game. So does World of Tanks (which is also free to play).

    Even some perfectly normal applications have that tag, because there's a shareware version (maybe with a launch nag "Ad") and the full paid version (which may only cost a few quid), that you can upgrade to from within the free version. It still counts, even if it's just a one time thing.

    There are many scummy practices some game/application makers employ using ads or in-app purchases, but many don't, and both types have that sort of label applied.

    Honestly, I see that label applied to basically everything these days, so I just ignore it and judge the application based on the nuance of how their monetisation is presented.

  • this political system

    You've not mentioned what continent you're on, let alone what country, it's hard to know if we share a similar experience or not.

    I don't have any experience with Namibia's political system, nor Chinas, though I do have a bit more touchstone knowledge of a few European systems here and there.

    Anyway to answer your original question, no, I don't tire of trying to help my fellow humans improve our overall living situation. That's our duty as good, caring people, right?

    I also don't guess at solutions. I'm not very smart, but I still believe in using the scientific method over guessing.

    You seem like an empathetic, mindful, caring person. Those are fantastic traits :-)
