This is the onion-ness we all deserve

I have to somewhat agree with the author. My experience and understanding of depression is that it is more of a (sometimes very persistent) symptom than an underlying cause. Ideally, we would all have the guidance to deal with depressing scenarios, but similar to dissociation during trauma, our mind defaults back to disconnection to limit the pain.

I’m not saying this is every case, but I do think as a society we could view depression more as a coping strategy, and try to replace it with healthier practices. After time, it takes more time and effort and support to replace those coping strategies, but that is essentially what psychotherapy does.

I think too often in the modern world people tend to just shrug and say “this is who I am,” instead of trying to improve their coping skills and quality of life. Like another commentor mentions, this becomes a feedback loop of depression feeding depression and takes immense support and effort to curve and should absolutely not be shamed.

I guess if the VPN speeds were fine, if there were drops in connection, and whether you can manually choose a location.

Have you used the cloud service for photo backup? I currently have an iPhone and it sounds neat to switch to bundling Proton and dropping the iCloud subscription.

I’d probably just use Proton’s mail app on mobile. It’s actually pretty snappy and intuitive, and it has always had the basic features I need.

Picture of tents camping. The text shows: “You can’t run through a campground. You can only ran, because it’s past tents.

Side note, is this because the image isn’t loading or for visual impairment?

I’m not sure what you’re using it for, but I use an ebook reader called eBoox. It’s free with no ads, not sure if open-source. I had bookmarks but I don’t think annotations. I like it because it can open my epub, mobi, and pdf books, change the font and font size, sepia and night modes, has many options for how to change the page, and fairly simple UI. The creator markets it as a cutesy cat thing, but that is only present on the initial setup and then it’s just a regular e-reader app.

Like with most things, I’m cautiously optimistic. It will probably take longer than necessary, for sure. But businesses being able to get money another way might evoke some motivation to get it done. I just don’t know about the demand right now. I see a few electric cars around, but the cold reduces the distance, so I personally think that WI just won’t have as many electric cars. Maybe plug-in hybrids though.

And it’s a bit of a chicken and egg. Maybe more stations would encourage people to consider electric vehicles.

Does anyone know an expert in bird law?

I have tried a few. Duolingo seemed to be good for making it fun to get interest but a lot of it was semi-random vocabulary. Try the Mango app for more practical conversation practice. It has flash cards that remind me of Anki that are nice for reinforcing memorization. It is free but I think has a premium option now.

Also, Tandem for practicing conversation with real people that speak the language via text, voice message, call, or video call.

Thank you for the list of suggestions; that’s really helpful. I haven’t been on Android in a while, is the Gcam app noticeably better than a stock camera app? What sorts of things would it do better? Low lighting or blur reduction?

I agree about the ROM. I’d really like to have something that is simple and looks to have continued support when necessary for security and other major updates. I also agree about the camera. It seems to be a deciding factor for smartphones. The last I checked the Pixels had excellent sensors but had some camera software issues that I believe were eventually resolved. I’m hoping that isn’t an issue if I’m just using a basic OS.

I didn’t learn this until about a year ago, but fine china is a type of ceramic, similar to porcelain or bone china. They differ in what mixtures they are made of and what temperature they are dried at.

Say what you will, but they’ve always had a stable economy

I would appreciate having it for avatars and banners. I was going to change mine and couldn’t figure out why even the smallest time size was “too large. Would it be possible to have an avatar be a link for a hosted picture somewhere else or is that too much of a security concern?

Homework actually 😅. After a couple of hours, they all start to sound like the cantina song on Star Wars

The short answer seems to be “quite a while.” This strain was used as an indicator for RA but the research wasn’t clear if it played a role in causing it or what other relationship it had.

I love seeing research about the human microbiome, but it seems like there is quite a ways to go. Each person can have their own mix of bacteria, which changes throughout their life, and how each other strain may help or hinder a person is even further off. I don’t think there will be one probiotic that will fit for everyone’s scenario.

It’s like saying “What plant can I plant anywhere in the world?” Well, that’s pretty tough because there are so many temperate zones and seasons.

Reminds me of similar themes outlined in the Blue Zones project. It’s nice to see a scientific approach added. Hopefully they can help drive changes to help people live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

It is tragic that 70 Israeli people died on a Jewish holiday, and also tragic that the Israeli government response has 482 dead and 1600 wounded.

As with most things, there are probably multiple layers of context. But it is just sad that people have to die in the middle of things.

Must have had to shell out a lot for that

It looks like it tells you when a dark roast becomes light

I was expecting “because it was letting its fillings out”

Sorry, lately the download link has been the only way to retain full resolution. I usually just opt for “View” instead of “Download” and download it from the browser. I’m not sure if it gives you that option on the browser you use. Thanks for giving the other link.

I had uploaded the images directly to Lemmy, but the file sizes are also reduced then too. 😬
