I’m a shut-in and I’ll say it doesn’t help living in a sparse area with only a bike*. I usually just ride on the trail to a very close bridge, sometimes I go to the closest town over and buy a few things from the produce section from the local grocery store and that’s it.

Admittedly, I probably still wouldn’t be very social in a denser place (money, but also other issues).

* I don’t want to drive, though lots of ditches around here and there is no north/south trail. So it is a factor.

Maybe check out Nim-lang? It does have mm (I hear arc/orc are good) though it can be turned off allowing you to manage memory manually.

I didn’t even mention that aspect in my top-level comment because the check engine light is burned out. The systems and access to them were a mess before, and now I’m expecting medicaid cut headlines (and/or dropped people). Which personally, the idea of interrupted treatment makes me more wary than no treatment.

I do as well as I can in an enjoyable way to keep myself somewhat stable. Like I’ve been riding my bike on the trail lately* and I enjoy cooking** for myself. I’ll sometimes drink soda, but honestly I think if the sugar were halved I would probably enjoy it more (or just… some dessert is probably less sugar). Even though I guess subsidies make sugar cheaper than water.

I’ll sweep the floor because I don’t want to walk on dirt. Though yeah, I’m probably stuck here more than others.

* mostly to go outside (with not many good destinations I can viably reach), though I can make it to a local grocery store for a few things

** mostly sautéed vegetables, squash/celery/mushrooms/carrots/onions etc, spinach on sandwiches and recently have tried cooking chard

If something like USB doesn’t show your video, it may be too new of a codec (it may want mp4 or mpg or avi or wmv (mov or m4v?), not webm or mkv etc).

One thing to consider may be media-capable consoles (PS3/Xbox 360? and newer). Or an older computer, or maybe someone will be fine running it off of their laptop (or phone if you have a cord/casting).

You may want to use some sort of server (simple HTTP, perhaps even a media server) if you have a video-capable (+network-capable) device that does not have enough storage. You may need to do firewall/port stuff for that (fixed local address), though it might be more convenient in some cases.

I don’t know why there is any stigma around it

The most common reason people don’t get therapy is probably that it’s expensive.

Well, that and there’s many reasons why it isn’t something most people can just “give it a shot” (transportation, waiting lists and time slots, and paperwork/other hassle for the appointment itself)

That was off the top of my head, but here’s a chart:

The name’s Diff… Diff Fective.

You think I’m Abe Normal? No, but I have a lot of respect for them, really pushing the meta strategy further than ever.

I’m built diffefectively 🫠

As someone untreated (and shut-in), the grass isn’t green here either. I don’t know what the here-and-now alternative is, especially as a well-understood and very-effective med that can be taken irregularly is probably an exception rather than the norm (esp. for something serious/underlying).

If somebody finds a combo of meds that makes them more-than-somewhat functional I think that’s great, I don’t care how you try to frame it. I’m probably not surviving any sort of collapse either, not that I’d even want to. (someone on meds might do better if they can taper off)

I take more issue with the cost and hoops of the US health-insurance system (+other stuff like transportation). It’s a failure even by “pick two” standards… if it’s “you try this first” or 4 appointments for testing/specialists before one step is made it would be much better if bureaucracy weren’t also an issue.

Specifically with the gov’t imploding now (and the impending rug pull) I’m not sure what I could ever do unless there was a real chance someone will let me be a test subject for physical brain preservation (and they’d move my brain some other not-imploding country).

Go into a local field and tame a wild horse??? Probably healthier that way anyways (all-natural, soul-bond)

But did you know that women who own horses are likely to live on average 15 years longer than women who do not own horses? Why wouldn’t people get a majestic car-sized animal to improve their well-being, are they stupid?

It is a new community, so that’s part of it.

W/config I actually meant it probably should be nsfw by default. Though no idea. It’s not an nsfw-specific instance so it could also be an issue.

Alternatively, this could be an instance-related protest. The context with that being: there is also an anti-trans poster on that instance and people are complaining about the lack of an admin response.

Isn’t it just one user?

Aside from not tagging, community config issue?

I lost interest enough to delete the models I had before and this headline made me look into deepseek.

EDIT: Not quite the Streisand Effect considering I already knew about it, but still an unintended source of pressure. Like someone stockpiling before a ban of something, even if they weren’t too avid about it before. I’ve had a similar thought when it comes to taking down free streaming sites.

Though this seems to have traded compute for data, so I don’t have the VRAM for it… even running through RAM, I don’t feel like downloading a lesser version with my slow-ish internet.

I’m thinking more of a voluntary program.

That shadowm’n on her 1am walk is gonna get away if I’m with her and she ices me right there in the park 🫠 she’s allowed to do it. It happens all the time…

My more immediate thought is that most people couldn’t even get within 100 miles, and this says nothing of training/planning etc. “why doesn’t somebody do something” is probably just wish fulfillment by others who feel powerless to do anything about it.

The blocky white outline on everything in your example I’d say is a technical issue (common with beginners) not one that others who have used a digital art program would likely consider a stylistic choice. Home Movies is imperfect and minimalist, but it is well-presented… and even season 2 is much smoother due to the switch to Flash, which may be part of it.

Weird stuff was either successful because the good outweighed the bad (the really bad stuff gets lost to time)… or because seemingly-bad choices were deliberate, had technical benefits, and were skillfully done.

In other words, there’s a big difference between something being “experimental” and it being early practice.

Though I will say sometimes style/proportions just bother people especially when common, see the hate for cal-arts memes.

Would you spend your remaining time differently than you do now?

If so, why aren’t you already doing it?

Probably not as I am already stuck.

I am not aware of what I would do differently, where I would go, how I would reliably get there, and I don’t have much money. Also I don’t really have much contact with anyone.

And y’know, things aren’t looking great with the news but that’s all I’ll say.

I wonder how this compares to other similar services? (another I’ve seen used here is imgchest)

And specifically, is there one that allows you to edit alt-text (so it’s there when you copy the markdown)? Folders would be nice, too.

Though one thing I can say is according to the FAQ .svg is (not un)supported which is interesting (something that didn’t seem to work on imgur, at least when I tried it).
