It’s really not. It’s just getting started. The worst predictions, of 4-6 degrees of warming, are more or less off the table. Current trajectory is ~3 degrees of warming which… is civilisationally devastating admittedly, but we have pathways to reduce that. Even the 1.5c target isn’t over yet.
There is a broad range of potential future climates, and this generation decides which one we end up with. It’s not over by a long shot.
From your other replies it seems like you’re unsure you want kids in any case, but if you do there’s a simple thought experiment here: do you wish your father hadn’t had you? If not, it’s reasonable to think your children would be just as grateful to be alive as you are, sick dad or not.
If you’re a programmer rather than a professional typist, you probably can use it at work. It took a couple of weeks for me to adjust, a couple of months to be fluent, but it would have been longer if I didn’t use it all day every day.
The biggest hurdles for me personally were
Will power is an expendable resource. It’s hard enough to give up one thing, let alone everything.
If you quit once, you can do it again. I found when I first quit it was really helpful to do the daily check in and post about whatever I was thinking. It’s not the void of the internet if there are people listening: it’s a community.
People will find it if they need to. I hope that r/SD continues to function tbh, it’s a great community. If it doesn’t, we’ll be here waiting for the 5th of July regretters.
Well hello, friend. I’m going on six years sober thanks to /r/SD and it just occurred to me that maybe this place exists and needs some more friendly faces, so I’m going to crack open a bottle of rose lemonade and not drink with you all today
Write down on a bit of paper “I want to spend more time with my son, I can always find another job”, then flip it over and write “I’m going to spend my time on work, I can always have another kid” and see how you feel.
My ZenFone 8 died this morning and I’m heartbroken.
By looking at the access logs. Googlebot sends a user agent string so you can identify it.
Well that’s what I mean by “islands of trust”. If an instance has a habit of banning people for dubious reasons, other instances would have to just ignore their bans, and that makes it dicey to federate with them at all. It’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out over the next few weeks.

I wholly agree, but that photo has been on my camera roll for years waiting for just the right discourse.
Agreed on all points! It turns out Lemmy has a mechanism for federating block lists. What will be interesting is when instances disagree about bans. If you get banned from an instance because - hypothetically - you disagree with the actions of one government or another, it’s not obvious to me that other instances should repeat the ban.
Will we end up with islands of trust?

I think they meant they’ve seen one Russian troll on Lemmy already, not that skidface is a Russian troll.
I … Have to assume so, anyway

It’s a hypnic jerk.
They’d no single agreed on cause, but they happen during the transition from wakefulness to sleep.
What’s the current setup, if you don’t mind me asking?
Perhaps the strongest example yet of Betteridge’s law.
