just use something

This! I am an IT admin and inam constantly begging my coworkers to use a password manager, any password manager. My company will pay for you to use Bitwarden but if you don't want to do that at least use the password manager built into chrome/edge. Please, I am begging you to use secure passwords and save them in a password manager.

(Obviously not you fellow Lemmy users I'm sure y'all have too notch security practices. Just venting lol)

Your security will never be flawless. Human nature is to slip up every once and a while, and security is an ever evolving game of cat and mouse and even the professionals who spend their entire careers defending infrastructure are constantly playing catch-up.

I would never host my passwords locally because I know my security at home is nowhere near the security of a professional platform, especially one as trusted as Bitwarden. My dumb family photos and personal git repo? Sure. But Bitwarden holds passwords to my bank, government websites, work stuff, my credit cards, etc.

Waaay too much risk for me, and if anyone is looking at this i would recommend that you seriously consider what kind of liability you are really bringing on.

man is conditioned from a young age not to show feelings

I feel like you skipped over this part way too quickly. Myself and other men have been hearing things like "it's not manly to cry", "whining isn't going to do anything for you", "being weak is girly", and countless other things for my entire memorable life

And it's not just men telling me this. It's men, women, adults, my classmates, teachers and mentors.

It's not a good thing. And it's changing now, which is so good. But man hearing that from your earliest memories makes it really set in.

I am on my fifth therapist. The first one I was seeing I kinda stopped going and then he retired, then I had a GF cheat on me and that was super brutal so I started going again.

First therapist was the stereotypical "feelings are okay!" kind of therapist, second one she just automatically assumed it was my fault and was basically telling me that cause I'm a man I should have done better, and the third just immediately jumped to medication like halfway through my first session.

Ended up with my current therapist and she's great. I really like her because she regularly tells me that I'm just straight up being stupid or ridiculous and just need to handle my shit. Which works amazing for me.

You just gotta remember the mnemonic for them!

Many Wild Owls In Winter Never Make Unusual Noises, Always Calm and Focused

But that's just taught to us in class as little kids so I forget it's not second nature for the rest of the world!

My two biggest issues have been HDR and simulation hardware.

It's been a good few years since I've tried it but every time I've tried HDR my saturation just gets cranked to 11 and it looks like those nature photos that are edited to hell and back. Not sure why, and I've heard other people got it working so idk. I think it's just the Nvidia drivers doing their thing and not working.

But controllers for flight and racing Sims are the biggest headache to get working. And then when you do get them working you'll have issues with games running well and detecting them (I think this is actually due to proton/lutris), issues with force feedback, issues with the various buttons and sliders that aren't the primary axis. And then, after you spend hours getting them to work, it'll just break again the next time you want to play. My sims and FPS games are the only reasons I still have a windows install.

California alone is the 4th largest economy on the planet. It's GDP is larger than Japan...

It's not even Americans talking about American politics either haha

No you see, if you can't do something absolutely perfect then why do it at all?

The entire thesis of that video was "fiver and things like that lead to exploitation of the global poor", the sign thing was just a catchy clickbait thing.

Quit trying to upsell me and just do the oil change!

Or want your food to show up in grocery stores? Or airplanes and trains to arrive on time and safely?

Time is an important safety thing.

Arguing what you believe in is not what "arguing in good faith" actually means. If you're arguing in good faith it means you aren't using any logical fallacies, insults, and are genuinely attempting to have an actual conversation. It has nothing to do with how good of a debater you are, or how valid your argument is.

So you're Florida man could absolutely be arguing in good faith about the beehives in the center of the earth even though that's very easy to disprove, while someone arguing for gar rights can arguing in bad faith when they start saying things like "every single Republican is a Nazi" (strawman argument) even though it's objectively a good thing.

Here is a good article about what "arguing in good faith" actually is.

And yes, I know it's Grammarly which is an AI tool, but I read through it myself and it's a good article.

I'm curious on what your solution to this would be? There is already a page to browse your subscriptions, and a page to browse the popular stuff.

The home page specifically is to find new videos based on your history, so with no history what would it show?

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.

But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.

I think it's more because pipeline work is inherently unstable so they get paid a lot but it's for short contracts. Plus it means businesses are more used to transient workers.

Like my buddy can clear $80k in 3 months working 100hr weeks. There's no IT job in the world that would give you those kinds of hours.

And yeah, American companies sometimes use the visa trap to get workers. But don't pretend thats a uniquely American phenomenon haha

People still do this. I have a buddy who only works 3-4 months a year. Hes a pipeline welder so long hours and hard work, but then he travels around the rest of the time

!television@lemmy.world only has 11 posts in the last 24 hrs and !movies@lemmy.world only has 7...

Hell even !music@lemmy.world (as far as I can tell, the biggest one on the platform) only has like 10k subs, like a dozen posts today, and basically all of the posts were people just advertising music. Zero discussion.

Even for things i would think are big, the communities here are still vanishingly small. I joined reddit in like 2014 and even back then it was more popular than Lemmy is now

Twas a joke
