My company is doing small trial runs and trying to get feedback on if stuff is helpful. They are obviously pushing things because they are hopeful, but most people report that AI is helpful about 45% of the time. I’m sorry your leadership just dove in head first. That’s sound like such a pain.

I’ve found that near every post I’ve made only has nice comments. Unless it is political lol, but thats par for the course. I believe in you!

I seem to compare less when I care more about contributing than winning. I feel more stablely valuable when I feel I am working towards a greater good.

Also, I don’t think comparison is a conscious thing. Not every time at least. So really a good angle may be to try and be more accepting and react more comfortably to the comparisons you naturally make.

Honestly all it is for my family is eat the big meal and watch the game. I usually nap during the latter part because I ate so much.

If I’m at my moms then we might do some games. Sometimes we do what is called an “auction party”. Where everyone who shows up brings two things they don’t want anymore. Then we all get the same amount of fake money and sit in the same room and bid on it. I can be real funny with gag items going through long bidding wars. It can also be pretty helpful to get an item you actually care about.

During a covid auction party a half used bottle of hand sanitizer had an absolutely riotous bidding war over it.

I see! I use jerboa and I don’t get any icon for it or anything.

How can you tell?? My client doesn’t show anything to me.

Heyo. I can’t offer much, but I want to say that I’ve seen you around and I appreciate your presense here on Lemmy.

I have also enjoyed your “backstory”. I’ve read a post here and there and I always find it so fascinating to learn about folks here. I appreciate you sharing yourself.

I only vaguely understand suicial ideation. I get the odd thought here and there, but I’ve never felt it intensly.

My main point is: It would be real cool to be able to read new posts from you for a real long time. I’m not trying to force your hand or anything. Just trying to say that you’re appreciated by some internet rando. Probably more folks than just me.

Ah dude I feel that so much with looking at pond samples under the microscope. It was and still is quite magical, but you can’t beat seeing it for the first time. Just a whole other world right there.

My phone has a option in battery settings for setting max charge to 80%.

Looks awesome!

There is only one of me.

I used to set some coins on the table (five or so) and then if I get it right I move a coin to the other side. If I get one wrong I move them all back. I can’t move on until I’ve moved all the coins to the other side. This was generally for music practice but it seems pretty applicable here.

I guess you dont do self care then. I think this is an exhaustive list.

I am young and have a computer science degree, and I still struggle at times. I get it.

For games, I’d try to install steam and run them through steam if thats how you’d normally do it on windows. Then for me the main setting to play with (on a game by game basis) is setting the game to use proton (in the compatibility settings of the game) and whether or not to use steam input for controller support.

If you are trying to install a non steam game, maybe look into lutris. Though I’m on the techy side, and I hear a lot of people like heroic game launcher on the less techy side.

Good luck. I think it’s fair to run out of energy while trying get the right combo, but if ya stick to it I’m confident you’ll find the set up that works for you.

Yeah I feel Linux has a lot of dead ends. Its easy to follow the wrong path. My saving grace has always been that once you get things working, you know how you did it and it likely won’t change much.

So really its a big search, but once you hit a steady state it really feels like home.

Is too much

Donations would be great. I dream of mine would be to get a large enough following to live a decent life off of donations and just make art. Kinda far fetched, but it would be great.

I know one person I’ve found that did that is Chris from Airwindows. His art is a bit technical, but he makes interesting audio software and shares it all open source. I donate a bit to him.

Yeah I’ve given up on making a living off of art. I’ve pivoted to trying to just share it for free as much as I can. Honestly I think big corporate studios would have way less of a market if community art was more of a thing. It’d be nice to have local art and culture around rather than soulless corpo slop. I think those communities would process the world in a healthier way.

I hear you though. It really really sucks ass that literally no one (if you round) gets to make a living doing art. And (if you don’t round) those that do get to make a living on it generally come from a very small subset of the available cultures.

This is a good thing to be mad about. It affects how everyone sees the world.

Though those aren’t really proven real: From that same Wikipedia article:

Although widely used, they are by no means a necessary feature of QFT, but rather are mathematical conveniences — as demonstrated by lattice field theory, which avoids using the concept altogether.[citation needed]
