How do you be aware of major issues in the world and locally without becoming deeply depressed and cynical? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Just go to a poor country like Peru. You will start to appreciate what you have.

I guess people are still not tired of superhero movies and shows?

I agree with this. He was only good in that single movie.

Yes, you said it very well. And we shouldnt be happy in that situation either.

I don't care, it's not relevant what they think.

Maybe it depends on where you live. For me it's close to useless.

I think simpler deployment should be on top of the list for next year. The microservice architecture scares quite a lot of people away and makes it complicated. If it was me, I would make microservices optional, for people who wants to scale their immich components. Most will never have the need.

I think your battered wife example is much worse than having as asshole ceo at work. Most people can change jobs, but there are people who can't leave relationships because of fear of death or losing their children.

Yep I know. I was in Peru for three weeks and I was amazed. People have nothing and live on dirt floors, yet are much happier then we are in the west.

I don't know what's wrong with us. Why can't we just enjoy what we have? But I honestly look at my own life, I'm tired of working, and I want to just relax and not work anymore. And it does seem like a big problem to me, I can't just quit and live on savings. And yet, in comparison, im being spoiled rotten to even have a job with a good income.

Why are we tired of working in the west? A lot of us are. Is it worse than our parents had it? I think so, to a degree. Some of our parents had ability to support families on a single slavery and buy houses. That's a luxary today.

How is it selfish though? I think a lot of people just feel there is not much hope for society. I don't see how that is selfish. But maybe you mean that there should be a sense of community and it's selfish to not care about that?

Ok. I wouldn't know, figured it was new. I don't use Google photos. :)

Now we can all edit our private photos in front of the largest surveillance machine in the world. Cool.

Sleep on it: the $700 San Francisco ‘pod’ with privacy curtains and charging ports (www.theguardian.com)
 

This is not dystopian at all, is it? Humans sleeping in pods. I guess it beats homelessness but this seems like a fail on epical levels (unless profits for these pod companies are what we care about).

LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences (x.com)
 

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Alien Romulus (self.movies)

I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?

I guess it's just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

This is not revolutionary but it saves some keystrokes when wanting to limit results to certain sites.

Personally I don't really limit anything with Kagi. It's usually just finding what I want without having to do anything.

I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...

How is the calories meter on exercise bikes accurate (self.nostupidquestions)
 

The bike knows my height and weight and that's about it. From that it can calculate how my body burns calories?

Every body is very different, so I don't see how any calculation can be accurate.

I can't express how much I love hetzner doing this. There is a huge market for people who just need some instances and reliable/cheap object storage to run their apps.

Explain why the US bail system is not insane (self.nostupidquestions)
 

If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't.

I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

Is gen z intentionally refusing to change their behavior for work, or what is the reason for this?

Kind of think it's cool that they remain themselves.
