I actually liked the actions about the museum pictures, making the main headlines and with that perhaps waking up more people.

A comment I read today, somewhat related : https://mastodon.social/@austinkocher/109800607880492343

Is the web link correct ? That’s a very old thread, but where is the cash reward part ? Having Briar on iOS would be a good thing to have more people use it.

Good suggestion, thanks.

Arch Linux has its own Revolt server or using the main one ?

Don’t know of an easy solution but there is a Lemmy instance focused on Africa : https://baraza.africa And maybe Mastodon, besides using Lemmy, can be interesting for some news as well now that Mastodon (since a little while) supports following hashtags. https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-advanced-tips/ Explained in the Following hashtags paragraph.

Thanks

I hear you. Most of this sounds very familiar to me. I suggest to get to know yourself better, focus on self-card, reconnect with the core inside yourself (which is not your thoughts, we are not our thoughts, our mind should be a tool for some things, but it should not dominate) and get more in touch with your body, and less inside your head (and for that, proper belly breathing is helping a lot). That can be difficult, but a long journey starts with one small step.

Here is a video link below : I started to listen to this daily, it is based about the Ursula le Guin translation of the Tao Te Ching, a version which is focusing on the poetry part of it and is less masculine than other translations. I find it calming but it also shows a way of living that is easy and which we can work on ourselves. It can make life simpler.

Consider looking up grounding exercises on the Internet to get less thoughts in your head and better connect to your body and stay firm on the ground.

Then there is peer pressure, maybe from family, fellow students, friends, teachers and so on and so forth. I believe that it is important to discover the core of yourself, find out that you are really passionate about, and what your real dreams are. If you would, for example, be happy as a waste collector, and meanwhile watch the free birds in the sky, enjoying the fresh air, and in your leisure time, work as contributor on free software projects, listen to music and do some volunteer work for elderly people, then that is a win, not a failure. Even when your current friends, teachers, and family may be unhappy about it, you can be happy and you will likely find new friends as well. Find the true things inside yourself, and be the change you want to see.

Reading your words it looks like you are maybe living too much in the future. Make an effort to live here and now. Focus on the things that you like, as hobby or leisure time activity, for example, find local people that think like wise and start small projects. That could be for example guerilla gardening if you live in a city full of cars and very little green, or your local Linux Users Group where you may find some anti capitalist sentiments.

Self care is important when your current life exhaust you. Go for example for a daily walk and make efforts to ease your mind with your favorite music. Focus more on the body. Make attempts to increase your senses rather than focusing on brain activity. You mentioned therapists and psychologists, these people can be useful in some cases but it is usually only on a verbal level. There is more, called body work or Body Orientated Therapy, for which even no verbal interaction may be needed. If you have accumulated a lot of stress and anger in your body and mind, body work can possibly help much better than only talking with a psychologist. Think about acupuncture, bio-energetica, dynamic meditation, or Body Stress Release.

There is also Tai Chi and Qi Gong you can practice for which you generally need no other person, and which can help you to be less in your head and more into your body and possibly get your stress levels down. Qi Gong is easier than Tai Chi, and you can find short Qi Going videos on the Internet to get started.

In solidarity.

Interesting

There are email providers who will block email from brand new domain names, and perhaps others will consider it spam, and maybe only consider it spam for the very first email contact between your instance and their email server. Your results may be better within a few weeks time.

Thanks for sharing, also @XpeeN@sopuli.xyz

I like to use https://yewtu.be as landing page, because it has been around for long with no down time and it has an easy name to remember.

My experience is that using any Invidious instance in combination with yt-dlp on the command line makes downloads already work. Just saying.

Not sure if this is really on topic for this community, but where else to post ?

Have a look at the word pandemic on English Wikipedia, the paragraph about Current pandemics, and let’s ask ourselves why the continent of Africa is usually neglected in Western media ?

• HIV/AIDS

AIDS is currently a pandemic in Africa, with infection rates as high as 25% in some regions of southern and eastern Africa.

There were an estimated 1.5 million new infections of HIV/AIDS in 2020. As of 2020 there have been about a total of 32.7 million deaths related to HIV/AIDS since the epidemic started.[41]

Looks nice. https://diff.blog/FAQ/

Auto follow - diff.blog automatically make you follow the blogs of developers and organizations you follow on GitHub.

Does it have RSS feed so it can be read in a feed reader ?

Real time chat with a Lounge. Looking good!

I feel that bad faith arguments need to be called out on sight.

Well, I can tell that I am fan of Socrates in the sense that asking questions instead of making assumptions (which you did in your comment) gives flexibility and more direction towards a good and rather balanced conversation rather than monologue versus monologue (For the latter I’m thinking about politicians in some countries who seemed to be mainly interested in their own person and their own party, rather than other people).

Indeed. diff.blog - discover and follow developer blogs would be a better title.

Because having been part of activism came with being in touch with more critical thinkers and people who already cared about their privacy in real life. Caring about privacy on the Internet was the logical next step.

If you were genuinely curious about a link between internet privacy and the pandemic, you would not ask the poster to waste everyone’s time specifying “which pandemic” we all know he was referring to.

Why the aggression and the assumption ? The question seemed sincere and harmless. There may have been more pandemics in other continents where we in the West almost never heard about.

Cool.

Thanks for sharing the web links.

Trying to ping the user @lemmyreader@lemmy.ml Please tell me if that worked. :)

Worked :) And let’s ping in the original question poster as well @Amicchan@lemmy.ml just in case.

Hypericum (St. John’s Wort) pills can be bought in some regular shops here in Europe. I have a tendency to use them in the Winter, but this time it didn’t go so well. I also have it as tea, maybe I’ll give that a try again when needed. Luckily I found other ways to feel better. Odd thing about the results for German speaking countries.

Trials from German-speaking countries reported more positive findings than trials from other countries (RR = 1.78; 95%CI 1.42 to 2.25 vs.1.07; 95% CI 0.88 to 1.31, respectively; see comparison 1.5 and Figure 2).

What do these numbers mean exactly ? Was it a huge difference or not so much ?

Interesting to see this good read from March 2017 now posted on Teddit (Reddit) about 9 hours ago : https://teddit.net/r/linux/comments/10bpvbh/what_it_feels_like_to_be_an_opensource_maintainer/ with useful comments. Nice one, Lemmy! Is Lemmy gaining traction ?

Cool. So Conversations can proxy UP notifications for let’s say Fedilab on my phone.

Looks nice. The comments below the article have mixed feelings. This idea reminds me of a friend who told me that he knew a friend who had several mini self made wind turbines for his house, and since he already used very little energy he could be self sufficient.

Interesting that you mention St.Johns Wort, it is something which I used from time to time, and I like that it is natural with minimal side effects. (I’ve been told that women should be very careful with this as it conflict with some contraceptives).

Yes, sad. “power corrupts” applies. But I’d say usually it is good to not place your bet only on national politics. Watching the local community politics instead and do “direct action” or consumer behavior change (which may include for example small things like eating less meat, not buying from big brands which produce non sustainable products, or slightly adjusting some bus stop billboard ad) makes sense.

I think we are on the bring of a big collapse.

I think the collapse has been there for decades already. Maybe it was not so visible among humans but I imagine that animals and nature have felt it clearly already. Whether to blame the amount of pills made and given, is because of capitalism or neoliberalism I’m not sure. I have read Not Made of Wood: A Psychiatrist Discovers His Own Profession by Jan Foudraine, a book which became popular in the seventies and has helped to make mental help better than it was before, however lately the lack of time for patients, and the work pressure have made giving pills very popular. Not just doctors and psychiatrists give pills but also psychologists started to do so :( There is still hope, for example the resistance of Lützerath is Germany shows imo that not all of us have turned into mindless money greed capitalist robots.

Cool.

The outrage was apparently about how Raspberry Pi replied to comments on Mastodon after their announcement. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/raspberry-pi-hired-ex-cop-mastodon-controversy @snek_boi@lemmy.ml

About CBD oil : There’s many brands, and also raw or transparent, and with different percentages. For some people it works very well to get less stressed, and sometimes that works well for me as well. I am trying different brands and always very low dose. Side effects are minimal, but as it is said to kill cancer cells perhaps it may interfere with regular medicines.

Nice

Thanks for sharing. Where can I read more on ActivityPub C2S ? https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/activitypub-client-to-server-faq/1941 gives me a blank page right now. Found something here : https://codeberg.org/postmodern/fediverse-importer/issues/3 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31194422 but /me still pretty clueless about full possibilities of C2S.

There were issues with Grub for EndeavourOS : https://endeavouros.com/news/full-transparency-on-the-grub-issue/

Why wasn’t this caught in testing?

We can’t answer this question absolutely but there are at least two factors to consider:

Not all grub users were impacted by this issue

Many Arch users don’t run grub
