that’s fantastic!! for the media you still consume (youtube, Lemmy, etc.), avoid negative/angry/drama-driven communities and content. focus on positive things you really enjoy, like your hobbies, animals, uplifting news etc.

back when i still used reddit i cut out subreddits like antiwork and mildly infuriating and subbed to scrungy cats and things like that. my feed was so much brighter and it really made a different to my mental state and attitude!

cut away from social media and news. it’ll make you a sadder and angrier person and will rarely add anything meaningful to your life.

that was a really fun story :D

I thought there was only one porn instance, what is there apart from lemmynsfw?

It is extremely useful in the right circumstances. When people say it isn’t useful or that it’s ‘stupid’, they’re not looking at the proper use cases - every tool has good and bad ways to use it (you wouldn’t use a hammer to peel an apple).

For example, we will soon have fully rendered smoke simulated at real time in 3D spaces (ie. video games) because we can calculate a small portion of how that smoke looks and then have AI guess what the rest looks like (with shockingly good results!)

AI is not a fad, it’s not going away, it’s improving rapidly, and it is going to massively change our digital world within half a decade.

I think I would’ve stopped reading manga if Tachiyomi hadn’t made it so easy ☺️

Just started Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead and absolutely loving it so far. Any recommendations?

Tachiyomi is also fantastic for this, it’s often touted as being the ‘best’ Android manga reader

I’m not going to write a paragraph on this but (lord forgive me I actually am)

If we’re seeing a direct relation between hope and despair then there really shouldn’t be troughs and peaks there should be a consistent pattern (most likely either a linear progression or a curve of some kind)

Since despair is considered to be the opposite of hope however they’re likely measuring the same variable and the likely context of this graph is actually that the y-axis should read as ‘despair -> hope’, and the x-axis should read ‘time’ or some other category of measurement

Don’t extensively hardcode strings of dialogue into your game! I’m having to think about localisation for the first time and it is really really arduous to replace those thousands of strings with IDs to call from the localisation database.

I don’t think that’s how graphs work smh my my head

I hate this image so much… All the work that got put into making that vinyl and getting it all the way to you… Just to be snapped in half a couple hundred feet from your front door :S
