The surprisingly subtle ways Microsoft Word has changed the way we use language
  • Wow. 40 Years of progress and it still fucks up my indenting and pullet pointing in the worst ways possible. Looking forward to another 40 years of rage-quitting to go use applications that actually work.

    (Seriouse) what are the best ways to find motivation to do things, while dealing with depression?
  • Lots of great comments here. If you want to start doing something like exercise then it's great to set little goals. Even 10 minutes is still 10 more minutes than 0. Give yourself the grace to work up to more. It might take you awhile and that's ok. You are doing these things for you and not anyone else. You don't need to feel guilty for taking a day off either.

    Also - if you are dealing with depression or other things then I would highly recommending finding resources to help you deal with that. There's no shame in that and sometimes people need help to manage these things. Best wishes!

    Meta will kill small instances! Please read.
  • Love the dialogue here but you always have to follow the money trail. The best way to keep what we love is to bankroll our instances to keep them running and scalable to additional users without ads. Remember, if you aren't paying for the product then you become the product. Meta has nothing without selling ads or monetizing user data. That's their business model. As long as we chip in we can always maintain our independence. I'm fine with never seeing or interacting with content from Threads.

    Before the Spam and Bean wars get out of hand...
  • The ad exclaims that your husband will think "it's better than downtown."

    What are they serving downtown that is being outclassed by this?

    How do people feel about donating to the server?
  • I already signed up for the $5/month Patreon for lemmy.world and I would happily do more if Lemmy really takes off. I have no issue paying a nominal amount of money to support a community that I'm part of.

    I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges"
  • I want Lemmy to grow but it's a lot of fun right now because the people that took the time to figure this out all genuinely want to be here and have a sense of community.

    How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
  • The developer for RIF told me to come here. I figured that I should trust the person that created the app that I've used for hundreds of hours.
