Temu is quite literally poisonous.

It took me a while to realize this is actually true. Reality is amazing.

You mean Mastodon?

By choosing to respond to ‘your body, my choice’ you’re also validating it as a statement that needs discussion or response. It doesn’t need either. It’s a bizarre statement that’s meant to provoke. If you don’t like the polarization that’s happening, don’t let yourself be provoked, don’t engage, ignore unworthy nonsense. Responding with hatred, however well deserved you think it is, does not help us transcend polarization, it’s just another step in the polarization dance.

Not sure I’m 100% convinced of the above sentiment, ignoring it could make things worse too, hatred does sometimes need rebuttal and just ignoring it could be dangerous too. Still I’m wondering if this would be the right approach. I think perhaps it would help if we would not let ourselves be provoked, take a deep breath, and respond in a matter of fact way, that’s not snarky, that’s devoid of any sense of hatred, that’s not exciting, perhaps even boring but honest and true.

I thought they didn’t target children with their ads. Did I imagine that or is a barbie a product aimed at adults in Germany?

You don’t need tariffs, you need taxes. The problem isn’t that your economy isn’t doing well, it’s that too much of the wealth goes to the top and too little to lower and middle class. It’s not normal that one man has more than 250 billion.

You’re thinking of MusicBrainz Picard, the music file tagging software that is powered by MusicBrainz, a music metadata encyclopedia. ListenBrainz is a separate project, though it also makes use of the MusicBrainz data.

I never used Plex so I wouldn’t be able to help you but the page below has 2 Plex-related links.

As a psychiatric nurse, during my work day I watch my screen for about 1 out of 8 hours. When I come home I like to spend some time behind the screen. I sometimes wonder if it is necessary that so many people work behind screens. Shouldn’t we get more people to work as nurses, teachers but also craftsman, handyman, etc. This may sound as a naive and romantic thought, and I’m sure a lot of the work behind screens is extremely useful and efficient. But still I wonder if we haven’t somehow lost focus of what’s important. Like we’ve started to think that we can solve everything behind the computer, while simultaneously things are falling apart, people are lonely and people in need don’t get help.

If you recognize it for what it is, why are you on that right-wing cesspool of an app?

Could someone smarter than me explain Matrix to me? In particular,

• What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?
• What advantage would it give me over other services?
• Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that’s still fully in development?
• How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?

I’ve been using Fennec. Any one got advise on what would be the best alternative? And please explain why.

Now could you explain it like I’m 104?

shorts are not my cup of tea. Pretty sure shorts have a negative impact on peoples attention span. I’d still be happy to see people watch their shorts on the Fediverse rather than at tiktok/yt. Of course, but still…

I followed in 2021. What remains is that I use YouTube quite a lot (even though it’s through piped or yt-dlp).

Phonetic transcription exists for a reason. The comments here are full of “this is pronounced as this”. Which isn’t very helpful.

Is there any particular hate against ‘live, laugh, love’ that I am missing, besides the phrase just being a bit cheesy?

Sabotage Wikipedia, Ddos the Internet Archive. Makes you wonder if in the future we’re going to forget our past. Will actual history be obscured in a sea of alternative histories unrecognizably presented as the same thing. Maybe we need to keep some books laying around in archives just to be sure.
