I'm a bit torn on the idea, myself. On one hand, fuck fascists, don't let 'em have an inch. But on the other hand, this does kinda take away a users' freedoms with the software.
Honestly, I think it's fine if it's a plugin or something that you can install at your own discretion or something. Or if it's baked-in, it should be an opt-in setting. I'm of the opinion that the actual software, itself, should be apolitical. It's something I can respect the Lemmy devs for, after all; even though I disagree with their politics, the actual Lemmy code is politically agnostic, and I think that's for the best.
I thought this was for stat distributions at first, which would be annoying, but at least somewhat understandable. But this actually seems to be just cosmetic re-rolling, which is just absurd.
I get it if a developer doesn't want it to be free to reroll a character's appearance. But don't charge them money for it, just make them do a quest or something. God damn.
They're very useful, but just for certain things. The problem is that every corpo idiot out there thinks they're useful for everything, which they're most certainly not.
I'd remove those from your backups. There was a situation a while back where a guy has his Google account shut down because he sent pictures of his child's skin rash to his doctor, and the photos were flagged as CSAM when he uploaded them.
Social anxiety is not at all uncommon. Therapy would only really be beneficial if the anxiety was causing problems in a person's life. It could be that the person you replied to may need to lie down after a phone call, and is then fully functional afterward. Unless they're bothered by this process or it somehow impedes upon their day-to-day life, it otherwise would seem like they already have their recovery mechanisms figured out and are doing well for themself. They're playing the hand they were dealt, and they're still in the game.
I believe the later Pixel models have longer support periods. But I'm in a similar boat with my old Pixels; my P1 still works just fine, and I'd love to use it as a makeshift security cam, but it's so far out of date that it's probably not wise to have it on the network at all.
