“The cobbler’s children go barefoot”
One of my favorite sayings.
I use Diodon. I’ve set it up so that copy is CTRL+C, Paste is still CTRL+V, but what I call “Super Paste” is SUPER+V, showing a list of the last 20 items that were copied, including images.
Great utility, especially paired with FlameShot.
The only thing is that the Super Paste always pastes unformatted. Not a big deal, but something to consider.
This is a bit weird. I was just listening to Infinity 2 today (great book. Totally recommend), and there’s a section where the characters use Benford’s Law to prove reality. I then had to look it up myself.
Just a super weird coincidence…unless Lemmy is listening to me…
Linux Mint 21.2. it’s a solid OS and supports all the games I like to play. I started and ran a business on it as well, so I have no neee for windows anymore besides proprietary software and hardware. I just dual boot in those cases.
Pipes is a great way to view YT content without logging in. No ads, clean interface, and you can log in to save playlists via cookies on your local machine, so no interaction with the server. It doesn’t use the YouTube API, so Google can’t say much.
Thank you for this. The imposter syndrome is real, especially starting what were some larger subreddits (gifs, coolguides, Shiba, and helping with Today I Learned). It’s been fun and I’m super happy to see the interactions and genuine conversation. We’re certainly our own community, and I’m so happy the fediverse is growing into something I can easily burn time on here and there.
Agreed! I don’t need an endless supply of content, just enough for coffee and bathroom breaks. There’s plenty to catch up on in that time. Plus, there are still relevant news stories and happenings, so the fomo is kept at bay.
The amazing ‘discovery’ was apparently made when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a serious tumour.
Mr Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer.
“We were 100 per cent sure,” said Vladimir Kamashev, a surgeon in Izhevsk in the Urals. "We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour.
“I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery.”
Before removing part of the man’s lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue.
“I thought I was hallucinating,” said Mr Kamashev. “I asked my assistant to have a look: ‘Come and see this – we’ve got a fir tree here’. He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things.”
Medical staff said that Mr Sidorkin must have inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.
The spruce, which was said to be touching the man’s capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.
“It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me,” said Mr Sidorkin. “I’m so relieved it’s not cancer.”
There was no independent verification of the surgeon’s claims.
I tried once, and got through about 10 minutes. There are a ton of other resources out there that are far more informative and entertaining
Here is their follow up hit that never saw success in North America
I started up a few communities to help with the migration as well. Check my profile for the links. I’ve started one for gifs, today I learned, Shiba Inu, and a few others.
I’m able to not only understand, but empathize with the OP. I don’t like cats and I’d never own one. I completely understand where they’re coming from. I was simply challenging their preconceived notion that all dogs (or cats) fit in one box.
Sounds like you’re painting all dogs with a brush dipped in your experiences. I can completely understand that. I also don’t like those situations. They stress me out and make for an uncomfortable visit. I’ve had my backpack destroyed by a Frenchie, slobber on my clothes from a great Dane, conversations interrupted by a Yorkie, and staffie that just made me nervous.
At the same time, I grew up with a Shiba Inu, and I now have my own Shiba. He’s quiet, never begs, requires very little of me, and lays down quietly when guests are over. He loves people and is incredibly protective. It took quite a bit of training and patience, but I’m extremely proud of the good boy he’s turned into.
Yes, I love my dog and I’m not expecting you to, but I am asking you to be open minded to different experiences. There are good and bad owners while there are also compatible dog breeds. If aomwone has a border collie in an apartment, it will destroy everything. Same could be said for a Pomeranian that’s understimulated.
I respect your opinion and hope that you can one day see the good side of dogs and the companionship they bring into people’s lives. While it may not be something in your story, for others it may be a necessary part of their day.
I suspect there’s something else potentially going on. I’m not a therapist, so I can’t offer advice, but I can share experiences.
I had a partner at one point that would jump to conclusions without context. She would assume I had done things that I had not, and blame me for it. Later in life, I learned that she had been projecting her insecurities on me. This may have been the easier route compared to dealing with the root causes.
Dealing with those root causes would have been incredibly painful and would require some serious reevaluation of her value structure and decision making. That’s not a journey for the lighthearted.
My partner refused to go to therapy, and I think that was a mistake. I’ve been seeing a therapist for almost a year now and it’s the best thing I could have done.
I hope my story helps you in some way.
I went from 15 years of lurking to making several communities and modding a couple others. This is definitely the most I’ve ever been engaged in online communications. I love it!
I awarded you a little blue arrow for your bravery. May you continue to inspire others!
I like that there’s more than enough content at the moment to keep me preoccupied when I’m feeding my digital addiction through the day. I already see the fediverse as a success in that way.
Good point. It was nice to identify the posts right away when scrolling through, but the crossposting argument is valid.
There are quite a few posts already on TIL@lemmy.ml using this convention though. Given the larger use base in that instance, I’d be concerned about a majority tending with convention.
I’d suggest starting a new post here and gathering some feedback. I’m game to break traditional values if that’s where we want to go.
You’re quite welcome! My boy is turning 10 this year, but he’s still a brat. They have such an attitude!
I am, in fact, human! Response sent via DM.
