Yeah I get that. I’m in the same boat about making friends. I’m great at it in situations where I see them everyday. But working from home… So I’m trying to meet up with a gaming group at a store once a week. Monday is my first official day so I’ll see how it goes
This is very very true! I take medication and it’s great but it’s not enough. Mental health support (therapy) is so important
It’s different as I grow. But right now, affordable mental health support and a friend.
I moved to a new state and have no friends and work from home.
I’m trying my best but… I wish it was easier
Came here to ask this… (Also love that movie tho)
I enjoy reading about this change because everytime someone writes something like. Look what x did. My first thought isn’t of Twitter or any social media, it’s: “who’s x?” (As in replacement variable)
So stupid to rebrand like that. Oh well, never used Twitter anyways
Yeah that’s what I grew up learning and my mom taught me that x is kisses o is hugs. Til that it’s seen and way!
I suppose it has to do with being stateless.
I just loved learning about lambda calculus.
I think the idea is to remove complexity by never dealing with state, so you just have one long reduction till you get to the final state…
But someone who’s more into lambdas etc should speak about this and not me (a weirdo)
I loved learning lambda calculus (though for me it was super hard)
So what I’ve seen, there are already a lot of home grown dating apps, the problem is that they don’t have a huge user base.
For example I joined a nerd focused dating app and got one message a month later (I also reached out to a lot of people).
So I think it can be done but the real question is how to generate a large enough user base to make it useful…
Good question. Right now it just says 0… With my all but 2 users. The great thing about where I got my servers is you can choose one of two options 100mbps unlimited (which I use) or 1gps for the first 4tb and then throttled to 10mbps.
So far I see very little impact
I have both a misskey and lemmy instance. For both I used https://servarica.com/ with the cheapest summer deal Flying Fish SSD. It’s like 55 a year. (Or you can pay monthly but I’d highly suggest to save up and pay yearly) (kinda lie, I got a bigger one for lemmy but it’s overkill)
If you have never installed software before on a VPS (virtual private server) you’re in for a learning ride. If this is the case, be patient, don’t give up.
Misskey is similar to mastadon. You can also look into calkey which is similar to misskey.
The hardest part of setting it up was the settings. But since I already know Docker and whatever it was easy going otherwise.
Though I still don’t have email working… Bleh
Misskey you add relays. Relays are like lists of instances to join in the fediverse. You then block instances you don’t like.
Lemmy, you block instances you don’t approve and can set it up so you can white list as well.
Also important, lemmy doesn’t automatically add other instances. How it works is, any user on your instances has to subscribe to another using the full search key !blah@domain.tld then once ONE user is subscribed, everyone else can search it via keyword.
Because of that I created a bot that went through all my approved instances and subscribed to all communities in there. It stopped around 3500 subscribed communities. I’ll have to run it again sometime.
I bought a server for about 100 a year… With my whopping 2 users… It’s overkill… So… My comment is a wasted way of saying idunno
I have tinnitus. Had it my whole life. I live with a fan running in every room except the kitchen and bathroom. They are on 24/7 365. The silence literally makes my head feel like it’s about to pop
Not exactly to the title but I was alone with a coworker and explaining my precancerous cells I was being checked up on and a customer walked up as I was explaining.
He said, “that sounds like bullshit and I would know because I have a PHD.”
he was an idiot.
Actually, keepass warning you is a feature. When I first set up my account I put in the strongest password keepass would let. Lemmy approved it. But I soon learned later that lemmy cut the password short and didn’t tell me. (I learned using the API)
So no bug except lemmy not yelling the user itself. Or maybe that was when I first set up my instance… I forget… I’ve got the memory of a frog
So the problem with lemmy is that instances don’t immediately see all communities in all instances. For my instance I created a bot that finds all communities from all approved instances. It broke part way through but I got 3500+ communities connected to mine now…
Since other people don’t that, duplicates get made.
So I couldn’t find step parenting and my instance is connected to over 3500 communities. You may want to start your own!
Agreed. Also we all have our eyes on so much these days (we see ALL the news from everywhere) there is no way that doesn’t affect people. Plus here in the US, the divide between rich and poor grows. The stress of seemingly innocuous every day life has it’s toll and I don’t think a lot of people recognize that in them selves yet.
I totally agree, mental health for everyone even for people who are healthy!
