I use it where it’s available, with a couple of Yubikey 5s. It’s the best solution I’ve come across.

Knowing I can’t ever afford my own house or afford to retire, but also that at some point I won’t be able to find work any more.

Capitalist rent-seeking. Feeling entitled to make a profit off doing nothing except buying a resource other people need, because you already have enough money to do this. Maybe “despise a person beyond belief” is a bit strong, but I hate that people do this, and I hate that it’s condoned and even admired in capitalist societies.

It’s even worse when the investment is in something that affects other people’s lives fundamentally, like people who buy a bunch of housing properties just to make money off the increase in property prices and rents.

I prefer Lemmy’s UI. Good to have choices though.

What happens if you take both pills and wash them down with half a bottle of whisky?

!fediverse@lemmy.ml perhaps? There’s already a post there.

1 person not buying when 10 other people would do it anyway equals 10 sales instead of 11. It makes a difference.

Temu is very obviously a bunch of low-grade tat though. Who feels like a billionaire buying such crap?

And some of the colleges of Oxford University are older than the university. Merton College was founded in 1264.

I had come to the same conclusion, that I could never feel again like I did when I was a kid, that adult life was just inherently drab and lacking in feeling. But meditation did help, so I wouldn’t rule that out if you could work it into your routine for a while.

What kind of meditation did you try? I found the simple kind most helpful: just to sit and pay attention to breathing and whatever comes along, and don’t pursue thoughts once I notice them. It helped me with what you describe. I had basically decided that life turned grey when you became an adult, and all the thrill of experience was left behind in my youth. Through meditation I discovered I could still experience like I did when I was a kid, if I could experience without immediately going off into thinking about it. But I did meditate for a while before this started emerging. I never found the guided meditations or envisioning meditations to be particularly helpful, just sitting attending to ordinary experience.

I can’t speak to whether you’re clinically depressed and need some other help, but it might be worth continuing with the meditation alongside whatever else you try. I had given up on antidepressants too but eventually found a kind that worked. Now I continue the meditation but also take antidepressants when things take a real downturn. I hope you find something that helps.

Sex and several new humans appearing.

The whole drive to recreate every single subreddit by any means necessary is misguided. Lemmy should be its own place, not a facsimile of Reddit.

I just use a stack of cards and a knitting needle.

Websites run by ordinary people, about things they’re interested in. Explanations in text instead of monetized YouTube videos dragged out so they can cram more adverts in. Decentralization, with lots of little hosts and sites instead of large walled gardens of corporately owned “content”. The absence of the concept of “content”. Places where people would chat just because they enjoyed talking to each other. Email that wasn’t mined for details of your personal life by megacorporations. Fascism still being universally reviled.

My problem with Apple is that everything’s designed to interoperate with other Apple stuff, and nothing else. It feels like a walled garden that doesn’t just keep users in, but also keeps those of us out who might want to try a single Apple device without spending many thousands replacing our entire ecosystem.

Sheesh, some people have no sense of humour.

I think the saying is, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” You can edit post titles on Lemmy.

Have you tried just refreshing the page once it says “pending”? Sometimes I get this and refreshing reveals that I am actually subscribed. When this happens the “pending” probably just indicates that the server’s confirmation message didn’t make it back.
