If there are people who care about you, it’s not only selfish but also cruel. All you’re doing is passing on your pain to them.

LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else here that stopped watching TV almost completely?6·5 months agoI’ve been an avid news reader my whole life, and recently experimented with completely avoiding political and mainstream news for the past six months (I still read tech, science and entertainment news)…
At least for me, life has been at 99% less stressful. Anything truly important, someone I know will always tell me. I can’t see myself going back.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would happen if dead leaves suddenly became the most valuable currency in the world?4·6 months agoPeople would start cutting down trees and plants so they could have more. Then that would cause inflation which in turn would cause people to cut more trees and plants. Carbon dioxide would soar, and then we all die.

LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress?6·7 months agoA combination of this and avoiding political news and discussion altogether (as much as I can anyway).
What’s the point of reading, discussing and/or arguing when in the end the only thing that matters is your vote (and money/time if you’re able and so inclined).
The news tries to rile you up, and all I really need to know is who won once the election happens, until then I’m avoiding it.

A really old book, how to win friends and influence people, can teach you this.
I found the book “Feeling Good” by Dr. David Burns to be extremely helpful. It teaches you the most common method therapists use (cognitive behavior therapy). Like therapy, you need to continually practice it for it to be useful.
Practicing mindfulness can also be very beneficial.
If it’s available in your area, Ketamine therapy (not recreational ketamine) has been shown to act as a rapid antidepressant. In the US, there are at home ketamine providers that you can consult online. There’s a popular low-dose provider that includes provider visits and medication for $129/month, if you qualify.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Marissa Mayer's Yahoo Journey: She Confess What Went Wrong, and The Lessons She LearntEnglish2·7 months agoWhat went wrong was greed. They should have sold to Microsoft when it was offering them a ridiculous amount of money for a business that was already on the decline.
A few years later they sold themselves for about $5 Billion, which was only around 10%-11% of Microsofts final offer.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble burstsEnglish101·7 months agoChecks to see if Baidu is doing AI…yes, they are. How shocking.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think we should do with ourselves once profitable industries have no use for us?1·7 months agoIf we’re not making money then they’ll have no customers or profits.
I use Bluebuild to create a reproducible system, plus a post-install script to handle other post-install tasks such as setting up initial preferences.
Also Vorta to backup files and settings to external HD, plus OneDrive Linux client to sync files and settings to cloud.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla removes uBlock Origin Lite from Addon store. Developer stops developing Lite for Firefox; "it's worrisome what could happen to uBO in the future."495·8 months agoI think this is what’s happening.
If Google loses appeals, Mozilla (and many other browsers that rely heavily on getting their revenue from Google), will have to find new ways to generate revenue. Unfortunately, they seem to be looking for the easiest way out, and that’s selling out their users.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubbleEnglish1·8 months agoIt’s not that we don’t have a climate crisis. We do, and I’m not an advocate for AI. It’s just…mankind. It’s what I think is going to happen, “wether we like it or not”.
LemmyBe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubbleEnglish2515·8 months agoWether we like it or not AI is here to stay, and in 20-30 years, it’ll be as embedded in our lives as computers and smartphones are now.
If you vote for a party that does not support Universal Basic income, that does not make you evil. But if that party also supports killing black people, and you vote for it soley because of Universal Basic income even though it comes with the side-effect of killing black people, you are absolutely evil.
Milk that has gone bad will curdle in hot water.
