  • I'm neurodivergent (ADHD, dysthymia, panic disorder). My job is not physical, but I have very few ways of minimizing my work; I teach 3-4 two hour tutoring sessions to multiple students at once, 5 days a week. My boss and coworkers are very supportive, but the job can still be absolutely brutal, and I find myself coping with burnout often. Half the time, I don't even have the energy to interact with my friends because I'm so drained from work.

    The sad part is that this is STILL the "easiest" job I've ever had.

  • Not self-hosted (not online at all, actually) and the apps are in early stages (read-only afaik), but I'd recommend Buckets. I've done the same search as you, and nothing has even come close to it. The license is a tad expensive, but it's from the WinRAR school of licensing where it doesn't disable anything. It just nags you until you buy it. It syncs with SimpleFIN and everything is in a single file, so I just have it in a Syncthing folder to keep it updated between everywhere (though it does have a built in sync function).

  • Not engaging. Right after that first response, I would've gotten the hell out of there because there's no changing the mind of someone like that.

    If you're going to engage, I think you handled it about as well as anyone could have.

  • For people asking what it means, my Spanish is not great, but I think the first sentence is something like "These are stories relating to ECM(? don't know what that is) of experiences surrounding death (I would assume near-death experiences?)"

    Not directly concerning on the surface if they're just talking about near-death experiences, but I have no idea what the content of the videos is.

    EDIT: Found the English version of the channel. Definitely some woo-woo shit, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a suicide cult.

  • It's important for the same reason that UX research is a pretty important field nowadays: you wanna make your software/platform/whatever as easy and pleasant to use as possible.

    Alternatively, Epic lacks a value proposition. Having games spread across multiple platforms is inconvenient. Most consumers value convenience, so they're going to stick with the most convenient (read: the most dominant) option unless they have some reason not to. For example, as messy and crappy as GOG's storefront is, they've managed to differentiate themselves from Steam first by focusing on making old games playable and then focusing on a DRM-free and more curated catalog. What does Epic offer other than doing the same things Steam does but less well and in a different app?

  • (This is going to be grossly oversimplified and possibly minorly inaccurate, but) Flatpaks are built against and run using shared runtimes, so if two Flatpaks share the same basic dependencies (and those dependencies are included in the most common runtimes, which they usually are), you only have to download the shared runtime once. Every Flatpak built on the same runtime will share the one runtime. The way you described it is a common misconception.

    Now if the packager manually bundles less common dependencies into the app itself, yes, that would have to be individually updated, but that's theoretically more of an edge case.

  • I read the whole thing, and the one thing that stuck out to me the most is that this Diane Baird is an disgusting person. I had such a visceral reaction to this article, and her use of pseudoscience to take advantage of foster parents and rip children away from their birth parents is absolutely horrific. The more factors you load onto one variable (in this case, eye contact), the less it means, and she uses people's lack of understanding about that to draw absolutely insane conclusions that no competent and ethical psychologist would.
