Just looking on youtube, you can find binaural beats for pretty much anything: inflammation cure, pain relief, changing your eye colour, finding love and becoming rich. All the ones I’ve looked at feature comments from people claiming they’ve helped them.
They can’t possibly do all of the above and I don’t think there a studies proving anything but a placebo effect.
And, without truly believing in them, they never had any effect on me. I’ve tried them in my youth.
Back on reddit, I mostly interacted with communities relating to JRPGs. There are some communities over here, but at most they post some trailers every now and then. There are also some more focussd communities about Dragon Quest, Xenoblade or SMT - all of them practically dead. I don’t think there is an instance.
I could go over to a programming related one, the german instance or even one of the vegan instances for secondary ‘interests’, but those aren’t things I often find myself posting about online to be honest. They seem to be mostly about memes anyways.
From what I’ve seen he only gets up tight about food not being prepared traditionally. And like, I don’t care. As long as I like the taste, I don’t care whether or not it’s accurate.
Half my favorite foods are versions that would probably be considered war crimes in their country of origin - at least by snobs.
Unfortunately, there is no instance matching my interests. There are a number of communities across different instances, but it seems like several people tried to make their own, didn’t interact with each other and all of them are long dead.
Once I find such an instance, I’ll switch over. I’ve been meaning to leave .world anyways.
While I do agree with the problems identified, I can’t help but think they also made forums a lot better. Due to the lower discoverability and higher effort to actually join communities felt more personal. You interacted with smaller groups and came to know specific people. I still have friends from back then.
On larger platforms, I never had that. Even lemmy, which is small in comparison has enough people that I barely even think about specific users. Let alone speak with them on a personal level.
A rectoscope. It goes up your arse to examine it from the inside.
If you cannot trust in a randomly selected group of people making good decisions, can you trust in any kind of democracy? I, for one, prefer ‘dumb’ people being directly involved instead of having a lying contest every so often to see which actively evil person can get the most ‘dumb’ people behind him.
Politicians. Don’t get me wrong, we do need them, but I strongly oppose the existance of people who never did anything else.
I believe we’d be better off with a new set of randomly chosen citizen every so often. Kinda like jury duty.
I would be seen as downright evil if I do that.
Being downright evil is the secret ingredient to becoming rich. It doesn’t work for everyone, but all the richest people are evil.
It is a sound financial advice, but also a morally terrible one. It’s your call which of these is more important to you.
For all I care nazis could be hunted for sport. The problem is, neither I nor other people should decide who ‘deserves’ violence and who doesn’t. I’m not holding it against anyone to punch nazis, but I’d only do it to defend myself or others.

The kernel is probably too large to rewrite the whole thing at once. This could lead to a future without any new C kernel devs, leading to stagnation, while the Rust kernel could be many years away from being finished. (Assuming we actually move away from C.)
At that point you might as well just start an entirely new kernel and hope it is good enough to eventually replace the Linux one once all devs are gone. Kinda the X11 and wayland thing.
I still do sometimes, despite using DDG for about a decade now and working in IT myself. Haven’t met anyone who doesn’t say it in my area.
Yep, I have a lot of AUR packages installed. Never had any problems besides needing to remove a package once to resolve some dependency issues.
Nah, I usually find the solution on the arch website. If that doesn’t work, it’s in the forum - which is usually the first search result on all major search engines for any given pacman problem. Once you’ve found the solution it’s hardly more than just copy-pasting it.
I really don’t get these memes. In about 9 years of daily use on multiple systems I never had anything break beyond a multitude of failures to update with pacman - all of which could be fixed within minutes - and in the early years having to restart my system every couple of months because it stopped recognizing USB devices - after many rounds of updates mind you. I’ve had more frequent troubles with windows. How did Arch get this bad rep?
I don’t think I ever got punched in the face. Haven’t even been in a fight.
I still don’t think the tech is there. My current phone is 6 years old and there still is no reason to get a new one - I couldn’t imagine a foldable lasting that long. The ones I’ve seen in person didn’t age particulary well.
Honestly, the anime isn’t even good. Like, I’m still reading the manga, but I had to stop watching the anime something like 10 years ago.
I’ve heard it has gotten better since then, but watching the whole thing still includes years worth of episodes so thinly streched you could probably watch every third one without missing anything. And that’s on top of arcs so long, they are even a slog to read through (Dressrosa and Wano).
