I think I would be okay with 8-10 year iterations. 3-4 years is a ridiculous money grab. I haven't owned an XBOX since the 360 though, so...

There would be a lot fewer old people by the end of the month... (ICU Nurse)

Not really, though. Rigid structure helps with ADHD, but only when someone else is enforcing the structure. Prepubescent kids with ADHD aren't typically capable of maintaining their own structure. They aren't neurotypical, it's more than distraction and energy, they have a functioning issue. They can't tune out all the stimulus that normal brains do, and because of it they miss a lot of social cues that help with development.

My son has ADHD and no amount of reorienting our family environment would help him - he could (and has) literally be in a bare concrete room with nothing but his thoughts and get distracted and slam his hands together making exploding/punching sounds for hours, where a typical kid would get bored in seconds.

There is an extension called "Social Fixer" that brings back the sort by new and allows you to filter out all the 'sponsored' and 'suggested' bullshit. It's not being actively updated anymore, but it still works fine.

It's ridiculous that I can pay for MLB TV and the ONLY game I'm unable to watch is my local team...

What a strange article. Here is 100% of the whole thing to save you a click.

Researchers In Singapore Developed AI Program that Can Read Your Mind
Veuer • 20h
Many believe AI overlords are coming to take our jobs and spy on us, but many are worried they might manipulate the way we think. Well now, according to researchers in Singapore, AI might already be able to read your mind. Veuer’s Tony Spitz has the details.

It's not often you see an actual heart-shaped ass. Love it.

How about we just scrap the ISP instead and start over with a company that can list what they are charging for? This isn't hard. Either it's a legitimate fee or it's not. I have a feeling they just don't want to disclose that they have been ripping people off for a few extra bucks every bill for the last decade.

I thought that was what we were talking about to begin with? It's him, he tried to do the rigging.

Honestly, the trick will be to get every new mother to take it by default. Everyone always thinks they're fine... until they're not. Feeling overwhelmed and 'blue' is very common, it's the postpartum psychosis that is the problem and there is no way to tell whether someone is just going to get tearful or drown their baby. So, I think it should just be routine for mom to take this for a few weeks postpartum.

I tend to agree with the sentiment here that we are all the winners for having discovered and are still using kbin, a platform that most wouldn't have even known about before Reddit's shenanigans. Though, I want to point out that total user activity on kbin is down 7,000 people since about 10 days ago...

It seems people are either going back, or are abandoning for Lemmy because of their abundance of mobile apps. Artemis is a decent kbin app, and is almost ready to release for public beta now that the API is complete (just waiting on integration) - though I fear it needs to happen sooner than later if we are to retain the userbase.

 

While everyone is, understandably, upset that reddit has removed the mod teams in a few of the protesting subs - I think this is a prime opportunity to flood equivalent magazines/communities with content that would have potentially been added there. Be the change we want to see here, sort of thing.

Any other subs that should be added to this list? Comment below and I'll edit this to include them.

Can I just rant a little to you all?

I've tried numerous times to help people from reddit set up an account and get started on Kbin (and lemmy), but 4 out of 5 times people can't seem to grasp the concept of registering an account and starting to use this platform. Even breaking it down into 2 steps, with direct links... They get angry, and then ragequit their attempt in a huff saying how it's too fucking complicated and it will never take off because it's so hard.

Ok, I get that the fediverse is complicated if you think deeply about all the interconnectivity and federation etc, but there is no reason you even have to think about any of it to create an account and get started. Like, at all.

It reminds me so much of my 70/y old mother-in-law not immediately knowing how to work a tv remote and shoving it at me after 1.5 seconds saying "here, I can't figure this out". When in reality all she had to do was press the fucking big red button...

I'm just so frustrated with people's complete lack of ability to help themselves.
