Honestly, that makes it funnier to me

I’m on board with bashing project 2025, but I don’t think I’d call those “4th rate universities,” at least not UT Austin
This post makes it seem like the Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn actually makes it harder to shoehorn, when the opposite is actually true!
I love my Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn!
St. Louis’s Forest Park is bigger still at 5.3 km^2
Above commenter was saying that you’re not allowed to use any other app besides the default messages app to send SMS on an iPhone, so a third party can’t just come in with an SMS app that also implements RCS so everyone can be happy
Buddy, I’m not telling you it will work for you. I’m talking about on the whole we have scientific evidence to prove that it is effective. I’m literally only responding to your claim that “therapy is pseudoscience.” No need to get so defensive.
I still somewhat take issue with that characterization though. It doesn’t just “work for me and that’s okay,” it works period. It has been clinically shown to work for other people too. I only say this because spreading misinformation about it being “pseudoscience” and ineffective only serves to continue some people’s pain and never find an effective treatment for them, and I believe that’s potentially dangerous.
I have gone through some trauma therapy that has helped where no talk therapy has been able to. There are lots of studies showing the effectiveness too. Look up EMDR or brain spotting.
I really just have to push back on the “doing nothing at all” or “talking to a rubber duck” piece because I’d been trying that for years and trauma flashbacks don’t seem just go away on their own.
Not sure why this got downvoted. Things “just working” have a lot of upsides too: saving time, better accessibility, etc.
The same Patrick Moore who thinks that it’s okay to drink weed killer? Leaving aside his insane stances on climate change, the guy is obviously a crackpot and it’s wild that he is taken seriously by anyone.
Comment history is looking like they are serious lol

This is the key here, though. Twitter isn’t an ISP, they’re just making it more annoying when navigating from their site to elsewhere.
I haven’t heard of this. What does it mean?
I would like to hear this story
I think Lemmy specifically doesn’t fall victim to the issue of certain news agencies and personalities being exclusive to the platform as much as Mastodon does with Twitter. You can get the same news here as long as someone is there to post it, but that’s where Lemmy is a bit behind at the moment: we haven’t hit that critical mass of users such that smaller communities have enough content to sustain themselves. Maybe the platform isn’t ready for all those people quite yet either; I think the software has a little maturing to do before mass adoption would happen.
Still not sure what this is supposed to do based on the site? It’s some kind of all-in-one fediverse thing? Doesn’t help that they reference a ton of federated services that I’ve never heard of in the website
Well it makes sense when referring to the company because they own a bunch of popular brands like Instagram, WhatsApp, etc. Twitter just has Twitter so it doesn’t matter as much.
Where did he say it’s not an imminent threat? All he’s saying is that it’s not extinction level and the worst outcomes are not yet inevitable, which are both true statements. I do actually see a lot of climate apathy around and focusing on solutions and policy rather than doomerism seems like a good thing to me.
Also shout out Climate Town on YouTube for good solutions-focused and entertaining climate videos!
To continue the analogy, if nobody understands how to purchase from your store or even what the store is, you’re not going to stay in business. That’s why I think Lemmy needs to bring the UI/UX up to industry design standards and simplify a LOT.
The abundance of controls and information is nice for power users, but it scares away the newbies who already think Lemmy is too complicated. Go to any other major social media site and check out how they bury/simplify/remove choices from users to not overload them. Don’t get me wrong, I think the UIs that provide all that info should definitely exist (think RES) but should not be the default.
The other thing is the sign up process: join-lemmy.org is what people have be telling folks to look at if they want to join, and it immediately gets into the nitty gritty of tech specs and servers and other things that the average Joe doesn’t know about and may get intimidated by.
This has been my nearly universal feedback when telling non-techie people about Lemmy. I know I may get pilloried for saying it since there is a lot of hate for big social media companies on here, but a lot of what they do works and I think we can copy some of that without losing the magic of federated social media & opposition to big corporations.
Eh, we use copilot at work and it can be pretty helpful. You should always check and understand any code you commit to any project, so if you just blindly paste flawed code (like with stack overflow,) that’s kind of on you for not understanding what you’re doing.
