lol exactly this. I never even liked those apps or the dev (cuz of the phone thing), but this makes me sympathize with him much more. glad for him.

ppl should stop wining and being very disappointed with this step and develop and maintain their own apps without getting anything back 🙄

  • uppers and downers (at the same time, experiment what works, but NO alcohol that just makes you stupid)
  • walking (!)
  • stream of consciousness writing (NOT diary writing!)
  • focus on the process, not the result
  • authism is not an excuse, Văn Gogh had it worse than you, yet still managed to do stuff
  • messes birth miracles and sometimes works of genius. don’t disregard your messes!
  • don’t be too self critical. some people get fucking famous without ever having an original idea or talent or even working hard. Just two days ago I tried to read serotonin by houellebecq, and HOLY SHIT, here I am full of self doubt about every sentence and thought, tormented with the knowledge that I have nothing to say… and this piece of shit gets called a star and genius for his literally unreadable trash??

I’m also in Vietnam and just yesterday got brutally dominated by a Vietnamese corporation! The owners of a small food stall, a young couple, made me such an insanely crazy delicious hủ tíu, i almost fell of my chair.

my taste buds? DOMINATED!

my hunger? DOMINATED!

my knowledge of what hủ tíu actually can be? ANNIHILATED!

and now I’m infested with communism capitalism and will probably go back there tonight…

My fiance has been struggling a lot lately with this and it’s taking a toll on me.

Once at a rave at an abandoned psychiatric ward, while wandering through the rooms and hallways, far away from any music or noise, my friend suddenly said ‘its like someone’s screaming in here’. He was so creeped out that we left before the party even started.

Another friend claimed she knew that a woman hanged herself in her new room before she found out that that’s what actually happened.

That is the most disturbing part of this whole mess. People seem to actually believe that Russel Brand is a danger to the establishment. He acts like a teenager who got grounded, and then goes on a rant about how the illuminati imprisoned him because he was about to uncover the truth about the yeti.

Literally a 50-year-old man-baby who just realized what people usually realize when they are teenagers; corporations want to earn money, governments are involved in wars, there is something called capitalism, and life is not fair.

How is preaching those things on Youtube a threat to the establishment? Dude got fucking canceled cuz people dug up the dirt, it happens but does not mean you’re the second coming of Jesus Christ, Neo or Che Guevara.

Seriously, what is wrong with the world? Also I thought Blumenthal was smart, wtf.

“only” 15-17 monkeys, but thousands of other animals, insanely depressing. the more you read about it, the more you will start to actually believe that the death of one particular primate could indeed be beneficial for humanity …

On several occasions over the years, Musk has told employees to imagine they had a bomb strapped to their heads in an effort to get them to move faster, according to three sources who repeatedly heard the comment. On one occasion a few years ago, Musk told employees he would trigger a “market failure” at Neuralink unless they made more progress, a comment perceived by some employees as a threat to shut down operations, according to a former staffer who heard his comment. Five people who’ve worked on Neuralink’s animal experiments told Reuters they had raised concerns internally. They said they had advocated for a more traditional testing approach, in which researchers would test one element at a time in an animal study and draw relevant conclusions before moving on to more animal tests. Instead, these people said, Neuralink launches tests in quick succession before fixing issues in earlier tests or drawing complete conclusions. The result: More animals overall are tested and killed, in part because the approach leads to repeated tests. One former employee who asked management several years ago for more deliberate testing was told by a senior executive it wasn’t possible given Musk’s demands for speed, the employee said. Two people told Reuters they left the company over concerns about animal research.

Privacy respecting alternative to Youtube

I need a more privacy-oriented alternative to Youtube. I have try Odysee, which open-source but it has to do with tokens and that seems to me like crypto, which I don’t like. I have heard about Newpipe but this only for Android. Can you recommend me one that is also for the web and optionally open-source?...

@birdcat@lemmy.ml avatar

Nebula costs ~$15/year. The content is mostly great, mobile app is a disaster.

birdcat,
@birdcat@lemmy.ml avatar

it’s not that easy to find a real Youtube alternative, I tried it recently and got meek results, sharing them from my personal notebook:

  • Odysee – a youtube for righwingers and scammers 😒
  • removedute – a youtube for the far right lost in conspiracy madness 🤮
  • DTube – a youtube that runs on Blockchain? 🙄
  • Vimeo – NEXT!
  • Daylimotion – hm, not bad maybe but idk 🤔
  • peertube – too confusing 😵‍💫
  • means.tv – seems nice, but too expensive 😢

Since 2014, when a US-backed coup installed a nationalist government in Kiev, our contributors have been at the forefront of exposing the role of Washington in pushing Ukraine toward all-out war with Russia.

But I actually have to agree with you on this, that is bullshit. The Grayzone was not at the forefront of this in 2014; the BBC was. (full transcript)

Huh, I think something finally clicked in my head!

Radical anarcho-feminism is when

  • wishing harm to people you disagree with
  • not questioning liberal media controlled by oligarchs
  • prioritize the preservation of “leftist valor” over a critical examination of imperialism and colonialism

Fascinatingly Radical 👌

Can you provide a link to 1 article that consists of “tankie fantasies”?

Edit: and they couldn’t.

birdcat,
@birdcat@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d love to gain a better understanding tho.

Maybe we can use this article to better understand our perspectives?

Can you highlight the sentences, parts, keypoints or conclusions, which you, as a leftist radical anarcho-feminist think are wrong, problematic, offensive, bad etc.?

No need to go through the whole article; just a few points and possibly a general explanation of your perspective on the discussed issue will do, so I can understand why the grayzone is an unacceptable news site for some leftists.
