Too bad you couldn’t copy it over with low-speed dubbing.

You’re a laywer?

Maybe we shouldn’t defederate because a user has an app preference and a feature preference that don’t match up?

If an app doesn’t have a feature you like, try an app that has a feature you like. There’s lots to choose from. In fact, there’s the web interface itself, and the ability to write your own scripts, too.

You can block instances too. That's why I said block instances. Are you having a hard time reading?

You can block any instance you like. Super easy to do so. Just click block instance and it’s like you didn’t even need to post this!

This is an interesting idea. So if I’m understanding you correctly the workflow would be like this:

1. user uploads 4 images.. 2 are flagged as CSAM.
2. user overwrites the flag on one image, asserting that “no, this isn’t CSAM”
3. in other sites, I’ve seen this work by the content remaining hidden except for the user until a team reviews it. If the team agrees, it’s allowed on the site. I think this is different from what you are describing though. I think you’re suggesting that the content stay online after the user overwrites the flagging, but then a mod will later double-check to see if the user was indeed trustworthy.

I only worry that an untrustworthy user will keep the content online until a mod reviews it, increasing the time the material is online and increasing the risk. It would be difficult to argue that “this was done in the interest of user satisfaction, even though it means that more CSAM got out”. Ultimately I don’t know how many people want to argue that to a judge.

Lemmy admins need to do whatever it is they can to handle CSAM if and when it arises. Users need to be understanding in this because as I’ve argued in other threads, CSAM itself poses a threat to the instance itself, as it poses a threat to the admins if they cannot clean up the material in a timely manner.

This is going to likely get weird for a bit, including but not limited to:

• instances going offline temporarily
• communities going offline temporarily
• image uploads being turned off
• sign ups being disabled
• applications and approval processes for sign ups
• ip or geoip limiting (not sure if this feature currently exists in lemmy, I suspect it doesn’t but this is merely a guess)
• totally SFW images being flagged as CSAM. Not advocating against use of ML / CV approaches, but historically they aren’t 100% and have gotten legit users incorrectly flagged. Example

I just want folks to know that major sites like reddit and facebook usually have (not very well) paid teams of people who’s sole job is to remove this material. Lemmy has overworked volunteers. Please have patience, and if you feel like arguing about why any of the methods I mentioned above are BS or have any questions reply to this message.

I’m not an admin, but I’m planning on being one and I’m sort of getting a feel for how the community responds to this sort of action. We don’t get to see it a lot in major social media sites because they aren’t as transparent (or as understaffed) as lemmy instances are.

This reminds me of expertsexchange

Caution about using stress as a stimulant. Sometimes life gets stressful, then you have stress on stress on stress. Or maybe that’s just me

I only recently was able to work at a place that got good enough health insurance to afford vyvanse. It was still something that I needed to try the generic, and insurance-preferred drugs first like Adderall XR but once I tried it and mentioned that it didn’t work so well, I could get the Vyvnase Rx filled. $30 copay instead of $10 but well worth it. Generally, the only reason for this is because there’s no generic. So hopefully with the generic coming soon more adhd folks could try this.

I too wish I didn’t have to take meds. I wish my brain just worked the way it should. The thing about ADHD is though you’re already likely finding your own stimulants or stimuli. Kids with ADHD unknowningly self-medicate with sugar. Actually, Dr. Russell Barkley also mentions that if you have ADHD and you aren’t medicated and you want to have your brain work a little better for a short duration, you can sip (he emphases slowly sip) on a sugary beverage such as a soda. Liquified sugar passes the blood-brain barrier faster than solid sugars would in the stomach. Sugar itself lights up similar pathways in the brain as cocaine.

There are other forms of stimulation besides drugs but the intention of the drugs is to provide a baseline level of stimulation so that you don’t need to seek out your own stimulation (or, not as much of it). It’s such a strange thing to explain to people, but in order for me to concentrate on what someone is saying, I need to be doing something else at the same time.

Concerta isn't a stimulant. And if adderall isn't allowed in your country, vyvanse likely will also not be available. Both adderall and vyvanse are amphetamines/ mixed amphetamine salts. The other option for stimulant meds is Ritalin which is Methylphenidate. In the US, doctors can technically prescribe methamphetamine but it is very rare if ever prescribed because it isn't as good of an adhd med.

As far as a window for effect, the deug works something like 12 to 18 hours, which is perfect for me because I need it to do housework, work a d housework when I am home.

(paraphrased from memory, not verbatim) Adhd is a genetic condition which warrants genetic therapy. Stimulants work well for this but they only work while it is in the bloodstream.

-- Dr. Russel Barkley, paraphrased from one of talks on adhd

Personally different stimulants have different effects on different people. On Ritalin I am super chatty but cannot focus. On adderall/vyvanse I am not always chatty but I can focus. The generic of vyvanse is supposed to be out soon and if anyone is looking for all day meds but want something a little more gentle than the come up of adderall definitely talk to your doc. Tangent, but vyvanse has an interesting delivery mechanism: its a prodrug that turns into a stumulant in your GI tract. As such, it uses your digesting of food throughout the day to produce more stimulant. One advantage of vyvanse is that it cannot get you high if it is snorted (which helps alleviate the concern of abuse) because it must be made into a stimulant in your body. The big problem with vyvanse for a while has been that it's non-generic and something like $400 a month if paid out of pocket.

Republicans love freedom so much they’ll take it away from you.

A hot air gun will fix that for you. Of course fixing it on the printer is better.
