  • I aoologize, I should have realized it would feel like I was piling on and that wasn't really my intent.

    I'm not saying it aint the ADHD. Not to be presumptuous, but I suspect from the sound of it I am probably a lot like you in some ways. I'm just saying you dont need to bring up ADHD at all. Just accept that you fucked up, apologize, and move on. And that's what I meant by "own your mistake." I felt like bringing up ADHD is still deflecting unnecessarily. It doesn't mean you are a shitty person, it just means you were rude once on the internet.

    I understand that I didn’t need to respond at all and that I was adding negative energy where there wasn’t any… generally not a nice thing to do. Looking back on it, I see that.

    That's a very mature way to view it. I respect that.

    I fucking suck, I see that

    I dont think that is a healthy way to view having made a mistake, especially one so minor. Not that I generally manage to avoid the same trap. I think the mindful approach to guilt or remorse would be to observe and judge the actions, but not to judge ourselves. With this, give yourself some grace. You're probably your own worst critic.

    and I will endeavor to do better.

    I've always viewed apologies as best summed up by this sentiment. Almost every time I cause hurt or harm, it is unintentional. Unfortunately, that is rarely an excuse. The best I can do is try to make up for it and try not to make the same mistake, in the same way, again.

  • Statcounter says it gets its desktop operating system (OS) usage stats from tracking code installed on over 1.5 million global websites generating over 5 billion monthly page views.

    ...

    Statcounter is a web analytics service. Our tracking code is installed on more than 1.5 million sites globally. These sites cover various activities and geographic locations. Every month, we record billions of page views to these sites. For each page view, we analyse the browser/operating system/screen resolution used and we establish if the page view is from a mobile device. For our search engine stats, we analyze every page view referred by a search engine. For our social media stats, we analyze every page view referred by a social media site. We summarize all this data to get our Global Stats information.

    So... because I am blocking any and all trackers, I may not count towards this at all? Presumably the same is true of many Lemmy users.

  • This US-centric view that this worldwide outage is automatically due to US politics is just ridiculous, and you should be embarrassed.

    I should be embarrassed that another commenter thinks its related to the elections? Why? It wasn't my idea and my only mention of it was to say I think it unlikely. Go be churlish somewhere else. I'll longer see your replies.

  • You dont think who becomes POTUS will effect your country? You've blasted right past being a curmudgeon who doesn't like the US and moved into the territory of troll.

    IMO, it is a stretch to claim primary elections as the motive for this outage, but pretending you are entirely aloof and unaffected by US presidential elections is absurd. We get it, you hate the US.

  • The nerdy looking dude in the gif touched grass. "Wasted" is from a video game (GTA?) screen shown each time you died. So from this we can infer that our terminally-online protagonist, Hiroshi, did not survive the attempt to disconnect, even if only briefly.
