I feel for that. I think "copycat suicides" really are a serious problem. I think suicides to prove a point are usually just a waste. They're a cheap an quick way to amplify your voice a little bit, at the cost of ever being able to speak again.

That said, suicide is also a pretty good solution to almost every personal problem. So much of the dialogue around suicide refuses to acknowledge this, because "We concede that suicide is a reprieve from all pain forever" probably isn't good messaging." Trying to reduce suicides is probably a good thing.

And I'm not sure a peer group of depressed and suicidal individuals wouldn't just fuel each others' worst tendencies.

This is a difficult point for me. There used to be such a group on Reddit that did go into the "Suicide will end your pain but also put it onto others, and most suicidal people really shouldn't do it, etc." It was legitimately good and useful dialogue with decent moderation.

When Reddit banned the community, it found another form, and it lead to many many premature deaths. I know people who have died after discovering methods on the offshoot community. I think these communities are possible to exist as something healthy, but that's very difficult to do and is also a huge liability.

I don't have any answers here, I'm sitting here with you on this. It's a subject I love to talk about but it feels like such a danger. It's very unique as a taboo.

I'm wondering, where do you(/does her) start with this? Is the result something you can feel confident that you won't be audited for?

you're quite nice but i can be mean! i just know nothing bad about you

Personally I feel offended that you would interpret my participation in a silly post as an indication that I have "low self esteem". I feel insulted that you would think I have such a sick and twisted worldview that I would think anyone can deserve to be insulted.

My heart is broken

(this is a bit and i love u)

if it means anything, i spent several minutes trying to think about anything negative about you. i couldn't

i appreciate you sharing this experience!! i have been considering doing something similar with openwrt. does working on the pi offer you any automation / relief from the openwrt woes you had on the old router? and why did you choose a compute module?

just_roast

been trying to think of any romanticization of nonbinary people, or how one would, and my thesis is that romanticization is all about gender roles, and nonbinary people generally don't embrace those

but then i learned popeye the sailor is canonically nonbinary

Yeah, that matches it.

I'm very scared lol

did you get falafel?

Yeah, I thought Musk was one of the cool billionaires who did fun things. I wasn't cognizant enough to understand how harmful the hyperloop thing was.

Simpsons Episodes are happening to our country, oh my god

Shortly before that, I was working in autonomous vehicle research. His "Tesla's are now fully self driving" complete lie was so disastrous for the field.

It made it hard to sell "AV is a solvable problem but we still need to research it, and research what we can do in a post-AV world". His cars didn't even use LIDAR!

While that's the big appeal with Linux, you can do this natively in MacOS's terminal, and with only a little bit of extra pain in Powershell on Windows :^)

That said, "terminal works good" is one of the big Linux > MacOS >>> Windows thing. Now you can write down that ffmpeg command you did and save it in a grimoire for future use! :D

you might not know this, but you can get them online nowadays!

i'm a certified ROM reseller, i can give you 100 roms for $30 or 300 roms for $50 :D

(First, I am very happy and relieved to see you again, despite the circumstances. You are welcome here and we love you.)

But, yeah, fuck :( That's a shitty situation and I can relate to it. 🫂

yeah, that's what i'm saying!

I'm feeling similarly. I want these GameBoy shaped devices to target up to the PS1 (2D games, at least, like SotN), and then maybe a SteamDeck or similar device.

As an update, I got my RG35XX+ working again. Not sure why, but I might have re-flashed the firmware incorrectly. So, it's back in the running.

Miyoo Mini Plus review:

It has four shoulder buttons but they are difficult to use in its form factor, and the one speaker is covered during normal play.

devtesla: i think about your username and doge community but i imagine it's been an increasingly sensitive subject

everyone laughed at me when i said i had an idea for interactive visualization tools which work up to 5 spatial dimensions :(

that would have been great for manifold learning, because usually you only work with 2 or 3 spaces.

if the true shape of something is 10 dimensional or less, you can explore that by umap'ing it to 5 dimensions or less

alas

So I don't know grammar good enough to know what a clause is, and I grew up where people didn't always speak "standard" english in the first place, so grain of salt, but it sounds fine to me.

I'd say "where we know them from" but that only sounds a smidge more standard

Can you give an example in a full sentence? (gen)

i'm picturing more of an "facebook and discord are down forever? okay, i don'y need a router"

russia and china and iran all have different examples and degrees of separation from the rest of the internet. the UK is trying to backdoor encryption in a way which will force companies to choose to compromise or leave.

in the US, we have differing censorship laws fracturing the internet across different states, and the legal framework and precedent for banning apps.

we also have undersea cables being cut, which is very new i think (november and december 2024.

i'm imagining what might happen if we have a few "we bombed us-east-1" or "texas is doing ercot but for internet" incidents in the span of a year. but it's not something worth time worrying about yet i think
