Hey, you should be careful around Ubuntu fans. They might just snap.

I think it was a forced buyout on Musk's part, so Jack Dorsey didn't really have a say in it (beyond listing it on the stock market which... Eh, I guess you could blame him for that). According to wikipedia, he doesn't seem to own any part of it now.

But anyway, it's federated so I guess that should limit the damage done by any shenanigans.

Unless it has changed recently, Docker is not intended to be a security layer as far as I know.

Firstly, if you're worried about this, speak to whoever is running the sessions. I could speculate as to what works and what doesn't, but if you are in contact with a trained person who has seen you many times now, they can probably give you better advice than internet strangers.

I see a counsellor, which I know isn't the exact same thing, and I've definitely broken down and started crying in some sessions. And yes, it feels like shit. And yes, it hurts. I have a habit of retreating and hiding from stressors, and having to face them is rough.

However, anything you talk about is likely already in your head anyway. Taking about it lets it out in a safe way, because otherwise it just kinda builds up and festers... Which is even worse.

If you are neurodivergent though, it might be worth looking for a specialist that handles adhd therapy. I know at least for autism, regular cbt doesn't work. Don't know if that's the same for adhd and whatever therapy you're doing.

As I understand it, the problem that both Nix and Docker try to solve is "How do I bundle and run this application in such a way that its dependencies are explicitly specified and don't interfere with anything installed on the host system".

They have different approaches, but I think that goal is the same?

I don't know if I'm "supposed" to do it or if it's a massive resource waste, but I've been shipping basic goods like plates, gears, steel and basic circuits. It just seems so efficient to use the lava for all my forging.

Honestly, since getting into NixOS, I've found that much more of an elegant system than Docker or whatever.

If you're a furry Linux user, you're only allowed to use desktop backgrounds of Xenia. :P

Assuming you're serious and I'm not being whoosed, remember that Linux is a tool, not a cause. Many use Linux because they like Linux, not because they want to purge all non-free things from their life.

I'm of the opinion that a lot of the "problems" with autism come from societal issues and lack of education rather than an innate thing.

Everyone has problems they need to work through. It's just that autistic people don't get the support they need.

Remember you can dual boot. You can keep the Windows install around on a separate partition for when you need to use it.

I play Stellaris, Stardew and Slime Rancer on Linux, and they seem to work last I've tried.

... It really is a shame that they still make it seem that being autistic is a problem...

If they found that it increases your chances of being gay or something, I'm sure their language would be much more respectful (if they published it at all).

I just want another 3D game where you actually play as Tails. Like, no mech. Just like Sonic levels but you can fly.

 

Got sent this, and the animation is actually quite well done for how simple it is.

 

It's fun, and well worth looking at if you like smash.

 

Been playing this game a bit. Can't comment on how good it is compared to actual battlefield, but I've been having fun.

Currently in (free) beta, not sure how long they are doing their playtest for though.

 

Interesting piece of webdev solving.

 

Stumbled upon this game and had fun with the demo. Might be up some people's alley.

 

Hey all, I'm British so I don't really know the ins and outs of the US healthcare system. Apologies for asking what is probably a rather simple question.

So like most of you, I see many posts and gofundmes about people having astronomically high medical bills. Most recently, someone having a $27k bill even after his death.

However, I have an American friend who is quick to point out that apparently nobody actually pays those bills. They're just some elaborate dance between insurance companies and hospitals. If you don't have insurance, the cost is lower or removed entirely. Supposedly.

So I'm just asking... How accurate is that? Consider someone without insurance, a minor physical ailment, a neurodivergent mind and no interest in fighting off harassing people for the rest of their life.

How much would such a person expect to pay, out of their own pocket, for things like check ups, x rays, meds, counselling and so on?

 

So https://meow.social/@TwilightSaint/112810490753805813 popped up in my feed and I had to find the full version. Sharing here because it's really nice.

 

Hydration is important.

 

So another thread ( https://lemmy.world/post/17746018 ) got me wondering... How many people would want to move to another country?

Just to provide a concrete scenario, let's assume that in your current country you (magically) have a decent-ish job. They open up offices in another country of your choosing, and you have the option of moving there and work for an equivalent living wage.

They're able to get visas set up (however improbable that may be) for you and any family, but you have to go through the process of finding housing, physically moving your belongings and anything else you need to set up.

What countries would you take the offer to move to, if any?

 

Not my photo or mastodon, but figured it would be worth sharing.

I love the cardboard visor.
