It’s not just visual, posts from these communities don’t show up in the subscribed feed. At least that’s the way it is for me. Sometimes clicking the button again twice helps, but not always. Though at least that adds the communities to the list of subscribed communities.
Edit: Hm, just checked again, and I was wrong. Seems like they are showing up in the subscribed feed. Maybe I got that impression from some other issues my instance had before updating.
Not if they use Pixel Binning, which Google, Apple, and Samsung all do, and I’m sure others do too. This results in my Pixel’s 48 megapixel camera generating 12 Megapixel photos, which reduces the file size.
Ignore this “you’re asking in the wrong place” response.
Others have been experiencing this too. It appears to have no real affect on your subscription status. I have a few like that as well. They still behave as if they are successfully subscribed.
Pfft. This dude. It’s like this guy’s where you google something to find the answer, arrive at a prospective link and “omg why are you asking, go Google it”.
Do you realize that you’re advising OP to ignore a mod (in a reply to said mod) of this community who is being perfectly chill while informing OP about the published rule 3, which the community mods have stated they’re being relaxed about while so many new Lemmings are joining, but not giving up on forever?
Rule 3 is quoted below, and helpfully directs people to active communities that are dedicated to support:
Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, find help in the list of support alternatives below
I mean, the mods are being chill about it so far. If they start dropping bans, the users trying to turn this into a support community won’t actually be users anymore and they can go create asklemmyaboutsupportbutalsootherstuffwhatever and mod it themselves. In this respect, lemmy communities differ from language evolution.
For my part, I’m here for a discussion sub. I participate heavily in lemmy support communities, but that’s not why I joined here.
We get that, but just saying “go somewhere else to ask this” and not actually providing an answer at the same time comes off as pompous and OP isn’t likely to delete their post just to post it again elsewhere.
Mod here. The fun thing is that I actually did remove this post three hours ago when I posted that comment. Due to federation issues, people are still able to comment on it.
These are the rules for this community. If you’d prefer another, you may want to check out !asklemmy.
I don’t know why, but I notice this phrase often. I know it’s kind of arbitrary enough to be a coincidence to run into a lot, but for some reason it just got stuck in my head when I was young and it almost seems like it’s haunting me.
I feel like I’m going to hear these words before I die.
My grandfather used to tell me: “What I know is that I know nothing”. He used to tell me that even in his old age, he was still amazed by the things he discovered, just like a child. That taught me to always be humble and to understand the point of view of others and to always learn in life. So I will always remember this quote.
I had a psychotic break. Of course, I did not know I had developed a mental illness. I thought the Russian mafia was coming to kill me and my family. That made for a very crazy year before I finally got treatment.
Did something trigger the psychotic break? Did you previously have interest in the Russian mafia that led to you believing it was that specific organization coming after you? I’m glad you were able to get help and treatment!
The shrink said it was triggered by stress at work. I was also on ADHD medication which can contribute but they didn’t think it was the cause or anything.
No, no interest in the Russian mafia but the guy who lived in the apartment below me where I first heard the voices was named Wlad so that’s where my mind went I guess.
“It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars. It will be a species very like us – but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses.”— Carl Sagan
This one has been my go to for years and years.
It gives me comfort. In that we probably won’t every get there, because of our evolutionary failures as a species, but that’s ok. Because the next species or evolution of our kind will stand a better chance.
Kind of reminds me of the quote usually attributed to Einstein - I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
In yours we’re evolving to be better and smarter. In mine we didn’t learn anything from War Games.
I think this is a terribly disheartening quote. It’s very true. But it’s sad that there’s basically zero hope for us as a people to come together to do great things that benefit our species and the others trapped on this planet with us. We’re doomed to a future of selfishness and violence
Well there is a chance we might get our collective shit together after a world wide set back in tech, medical, any other scienctific advances. If we have a massively destructive climate event, solar flare, or any other big global hit, then many years later after the survivors reconnect humanity. We MIGHT have a better mindset and work together more. I doubt it though, but I’m a pessimist.
“The only thing to abuse is moderation” - A song quoting Sénèque, but I never found the original sentence from Sénèque (apparently he was talking about Sex in it but I think it applies to anything in life)
@zinklog "History loves repeat itself" With Covid , Wars and even daily life you see this so so many times. On big or little scales but this is a almost mantra to me " History is spiral it always comes back to point x" Sometimes it's scary because you know exactly what happened and what happening now can happen again...
Im not wild about this because to often I see folks use something like it to imply something we face now is no big deal due to a false analogy. Like covid with spanish flu. I.E. - I don't need to mask or vaccinate because we got through the spanish flu. Not taking into account its not as bad because of vaccines but without them it is actually a worse disease and that pictures clearly show folks used masks for the spanish flu. Its not just that but with climate change implying it just seems like the end like the cold war but they are completely different issues with different possibilities for solutions.
@HubertManne@zinklog And that it's fine, we all have a=our own Mantras that we listen too or Superstitions you can also say. What most important that you yourself mentioned, that people used to do something and now they are complacent. If you compare how Japan, Europe and USA handled Covid you can see that something you have to learn and repeat and some things you have to do even if your society is pushing against it. Yeah tell someone to wear a mask when they cough!
Im an obsessive masker now. Its not covid per se its just that by 2022 I realized I had not been sick since 2019 and prior to that I had something on average once a year (I was actually overdue for something when the lockdowns hit) and it was not uncommon to be sick even twice a year. Its 2023 now and I am still on the streak and im convinced its because of masking. I don't know how long I can keep the streak but imma gonna try.
I’m in the medical field, so there’s a lot of shit I’ve seen at the hospital, but I would say the real craziest thing I ever saw happened when I was in my early 20s. I moved back in with my parents for a time after I had to give up my first apartment. My parents have always had a bit of an unhealthy relationship, they fight like it’s their job. My childhood bedroom is always next to the kitchen and front room where they would fight, so I heard a lot of it and sadly just got used to it after so many years, though listening to it constantly as a child formed some core memories in there somewhere.
When I was there in my 20s I would mostly hang out in the separate garage, it helps me to feel like I still kind of had my own space. I worked graves, and would maintain my schedule on my days off, playing video games through the night. One night my dad came out randomly and was in an absolute state, telling me my mom had said “maybe divorce” and a couple other things. We talked at length and I thought I had helped him calm down. He left and I was up for a few more hours. I passed him sleeping in his truck on my way into the house to go to bed, it was weird but I didn’t think much of it at the time. Just figured he needed to sleep it off. I had only been asleep a couple hours, when my mom came running, panic screaming into my room at the top of her lungs. She woke me up shaking and yelling that my dad was going to kill himself right now in the garage, that he had the gun and that he said he was going to shoot himself in the face if she tried to stop him. At that moment I saw him passing my room on his way outside. With only a couple hours of sleep ruining my capacity for reasoning my adrenaline went straight from 0 to full blast. I had discovered the nature of their disagreement the night before talking to my dad, so my mouth just ran away before I could think. I sprinted into the hall and caught him by the shoulder , then immediately started shouting all kinds of heinous shit at them about how they were both being “dumb fucks, stupid fucking idiots, immature as fuck” I don’t remember the exact words but you get the gist. These are two very religious people who never would have accepted hearing the slightest profanity out of me in regular circumstances, not even the word “god” or the word “hell” (mormons). So yeah, neither of them said anything they both just stood there crying or stunned and listened to me tell them what big fucking morons they were and how immature they were acting, this went on for at least 15 solid minutes, easily the most cathartic thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life, bar none. At the end they were both just kind of stunned, we had it pretty well resolved and they were both calm and I went back to sleep, a testament to just how tired I was in that moment. The three of us have never talked about it again, I think because it all just got resolved right there somehow. Nothing like it has ever happened with them again according to my sister who still lives with them
