Every religion is political. Every religion to some extend is about a ‘way to live life’, disregarding if any specific religion and therefore way is a ‘good’ way to live it. Doing so means you, and fellow people part of the same religion, will try to represent and enable the desired way of life; meaning you politically engage with diverse other groups of interest and people in society trying to justify and defend your way of life.

Doesn’t really matter if its rooted in a believe or not or in a deity or a fable that got out of hand.

The only difference between believing in Christian god or believing any other deity you can come up with is: social and law-acceptance in how long people have been claiming to do it.

Oh, and of course the level of acceptance of oush-back depends on your local religion and societal background

Making fun of people is never in fashion. Unless you are like under 10 years old and have no self awareness, compassion and/or critical thinking.

… Is she wearing those headphones backwards ?

I use proton for a lot of stuff. The calendar is useless IMO since their custom bridge doesn’t support linking anything else in. Same with contacts. For those two I use a self-hosted radicalev3 container, works like a charm.

Does someone have suggestions for what proton provides with its passmail? I think their implementation and usage experience with this entire reverse-email feature is pretty great and I dont want to give this anonymity up, selectively being able to send from those passmails is also a great feature that works really well in the rare case of getting something I need to reply to.

Correct me if I am wrong. I remember some video someone showed me that rhythm is actually more important than pure ‘time spent asleep’.

So if you are in a light phase, and something wakes you out of your general routine, then you ‘randomly’ wake up but its much easier since you were already quite awake.

Contrary to waking up in ‘deep sleep’ rem, which will make you feel absolutely shit. I think a phase is 40-45 minutes ?

I at some point used a cracked version of ‘sleep like android’ or ‘sleep cycle’ and that helped immensly

And it is accurate. Sadly missing the massive carbon footprint, involuntary sexual content depictions (generating unwanted porn), and ease-of-mass manipulation and opinion swaying.

Good try tho

… It’s 10 minutes of clearly spoken English, I worry about your attention span…

While what he says is broadly correct and I like that he makes it simple and understandable. I would like to add that: Companies aren’t ‘subject’ to this because they are forced by government. Companies actively lobbied for these laws so that they can say ‘the government forces us’ since the lobbying is WAY easier (and behind more closed doors) than actually implementing such a data harvesting tool as a single company.

His wording makes it sound like ‘big brother wants your data’ and while the gov profits immensely from this harvesting as well, the companties primarily got this thing going by lobbying for it, like meta lobbying for verification laws wayyy ahead of this implementation wave we are seeing.

Tbh. I am not sure how ‘chiropractic’ differs to the German one. Over here its classified as ‘alternative medicine’ which technically is not school/book medicine.

Though I’ve had weird stinging back pain when I stretch for YEARS, and I went to a chiro. He pretty quickly figured out that some muscle is permanently tense but also stuck in that state due to pressing on a nerve due to tense-ness. Infiltrated the thing with some light anaesthetic, no more back pain, for years now i’ve been free of it.

How is this in the English tounge ? Over here it is actually pretty well regarded as a ‘do this if book medicine can’t help you besides cutting you open’ which is a lot of medial cases. At least in my circle.

I am skeptical of just classifying something as a scam because its not book medicine. Acupuncture is technically not regarded as medicine over here. But you cannot deny it works, as a lot of Asien countries can absolutely, attest with years of history.

I’ve once been so extremly drunk that I could not stop puking or even remember it happening. A friend of mine can do acupuncture and she stuck it in my hand on a specific spot. I instantly stopped puking. Feels crazy though

Love the animation! Is it from a larger clip/show?

… Why is there such a blatant paint-edit on the bottom right where I would expect the original artist to have put his/her signature ?

Not saying youre wrong, but you are oversimplifying human priorities in life. I think it is similar to, when we tech nerds say, ‘just switch to linux’ People want stuff to just work. Mentally a few hundred Euros is easily worth the perceived simplicity of a product.

Advertisement and just general brainwashing does heavy lifting here as well. Apple still has a reputation for simplicity even though recently, I have only heard lifelong users have a LOT of trouble with it. Especially since the liquid Glas thing.

If I am in the middle of life, maybe kids, not a lot of time, job pressure. Chances are I want my free time to be outside the computer. Most people would rather chew Glas than sit down and read the arch wiki so setup (wild example) encrypted partitions. The bias on Lemmy is immense but it would be ignorant to say that normal people should ‘stop being lazy and just switch’

That’s essentially the same issue just one level down. No reasonable ‘tech noob’ would willingly choose an OS for which they know that they will find reduced support for. ‘Fix X on IOS’ is quite a lot more likely to find results that. ‘Fix X on murena /e/os’

Wild example for a custom os

You might be fastly overestimating the average persons tech-literacy…

Almost anyone I know gets a mild panic attack when a button slightly moves or their preferred app stops working. Recently had a conversation with someone flipping their shit that the apple ‘Download’ dropdown (dropup?) From the task bar, does not let you drag and drop any files, just open them.

I think expecting even 0.0001 of the world to be able to flash/boot a custom ROM nowadays is a high order. Even if its so much easier than it was a few years ago…

They would be scared shitless from a terminal window let alone ‘[Y]es/[N]o’ ’

I use radicale: https://radicale.org/v3.html in a docker container. Its really simple, and maybe not for you as you may be looking for browsing and editing

I feel like this might sound unhealthy of me but: The angrier/more frustrated I get, the better. Angry isnt bad in my head, angry at $thing gets shit done because I do not want to see it or have it in my head anymore than necessary.

Though I enjoy once I start even if I hate $thing since I like computers/coding/learning.

This single thing got me through university. I dont want to do $thing -> not doing it keeps it on my mind -> once I have a single minute free I will make a plan where to begin the thing -> when I have a good chunk of the time I may need for it I do it just so the thing is finally gone.

Healthy? Up for debate. Can’t argue with the results tho…

Edit: I am typically a very jolly and happy Person ^^ there is just this research and writing stuff in uni where it feels like pleasing some arbitrary line the prof drew ._.
