I decided to check if it was any better than my current specialized job portal, which has enshittified a little in the last years. But Linkedin enshittification can't be beat. It's like prostitution level of job seeking for brainwashed people. What jobs are you applying for?

LinkedIn just isn't for Jobs Anymore. It's Now a Pile of Trash.

Ads about pushing your career, then more ads about how to create a better work life balance. And everybody seems to be a coach who tries to push their courses about the above mentioned topics. Thanks but I'll pass.

I made her mine using the command line and sudo

For speech to text I also found Speech Note (not to confuse with Speechnotes, some similar thing from a different team I believe)

I do think it's a problem that doesn't need solving, but would maybe some sort of instance integrator sites help keep the fediverse open and easily explorable?

I found KDE Simon, and Numen ... I've only ever used a commercial product, Dragon Naturally Speaking, many years ago. It was used so I could speak instead of typing texts but it did have functions to assign commands as well - don't think it worked on Linux though.

Be a member of the Brother-hood. I have a big black multifunction Brother printer, scanner (even fax, wtf!), and it works on both Linux and Windows. Bought four years ago. It just wants a quiet corner and a wifi connection. I think it'd even print from my Android phone if I tickled it a little, but can't be arsed now. It's happy with cheapo ink as well. It also cleans itself and has survived in a definitely-not-an-office environment. If it makes another year I'll give it a pet name, it deserves one!

What is this idea about not eating non-humans I communicate with. I speak with my plants too and they entertain complex thought. Do I have to stop eating them? There is nothing out there that isn't a person. Continue eating as you see fit and be kind to the living.

I've heard good stuff about interval training

Spirits of my dead balkan grandmothers and some decent greenery. Alcohol is for losers.

All my parent's bookshelf when I was little is there, plus a lot of the fantasy novels I read later. I just can't help but wonder wtf is left for the kids to read? The Bible and the Very Hungry Caterpillar?

Really nice article and I immediately want to read Zola again, he's just so good.

The comment section on that page is absolutely frightening though.

I think most storytelling in most entertainment is pretty fucked up. Another comment mentioned torture scenes in kids animated movies, I might want to add rape scenes in pretty much every episode of every TV series (often excused as historical realism).

Lately I got ultra-annoyed at how propaganda-y every police series is. Even the ones where police is depicted as corrupt, like for example The Wire. The criminals are always shown as a little more evil than even the most rotten cop. I can't stand that anymore.

There is not a single show or movie I've seen recently that didn't have this shit in it. I'm so tired at being sold this cheap, stupid, uncreative, misogynistic, always-the-same crap. Please tell me what to watch anymore.

That is some excellent writing - I went through a little of it and found it well laid out. I'd say you make very efficient use of your time and this is an important contribution for the fediverse, keep doing you!

I have come to terms with the fact that some people are too damaged to be dealt with. Their perspective and handling of life and mine just diverge too much, and any effort spent trying to align these perspectives is bound to cause more hurt.

I think about contacting her so often. Once I got a birthday message from her sister, who she lives with. I mentioned the hurt and why I was not talking to my mother, and got back more of the same emotional abuse. Both aunt and mom are lost, out there with their anger and bitterness, and it's not my job to retrieve them, as much as I would like to.

The fact she turned into a literal nazi in just a few decades (thank you facebook) doesn't help the situation.

I had this procedure done as a child. Very simple, zero problems. I never even remembered it before your post.

Oof. Mine wrote me in a letter that she wasn't my mother anymore. Later pretended she never meant it. 20 years pass. Then she writes me a message saying I ruined my kid's life. I cut contact then. I still miss the friendly mom she sometimes was.

My only chance has been remote work. In my case, I work as a freelancer. I'm quite functional when I can do everything at home without facing people, and my job pays well enough/I have my life organized so I do not have to work full time.

This setup worked so well for me that I decided to return to university as a grown up just for the shits and giggles. I was well prepared, had no real pressure to be there, was just going to have fun, but got burnout anyway. Peopling is just not for me.

I thought this was about programming
