with the way AI is getting by the week,it just might be a reality

I don't know if this was the right way to phrase my question.

I have this problem where I space out every now and then, I just can't shake it off and start doing the things I should be doing.

For example - If I'm in a room with a bunch of people who I should be talking to, I will most likely speak a few times and then I'd space out and look like Kanye's Blank Stare meme.

I believe in an open internet, FOSS, privacy by default, etc. I migrated away from Google by self-hosting Nextcloud. I prefer messaging apps like Molly, SimpleX, Threema, Matrix, etc. over standard SMS. I love the Fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.).

But everyone I live with and everyone I know simply refuses to take part. I can't interact with them socially because they're all on Facebook. I can't communicate with them because they all use group texts for SMS/RCS. I feel like I'm living in a different part of the world and am completely disconnected from everything that's going on around me (with the people I want to interact).

My question is: does anyone else experience this, and how do you reconcile it? I want to share photos and clever posts with my family but they aren't on the Fediverse. I want to communicate securely with them but they only want to SMS. I want to share documents but they only use Google Docs.

There are people I've met on the Fediverse and through some secure messaging apps with whom I've struck up a rapport, but these are still (predominately) strangers, and I'd really like to involve the people I care about in these exciting new times. They just wont participate.

I feel like I've invited everyone in my family to go on a great, grand vacation away and I'm the only one who's packed.

TL;DR: What state or city of your country gets the most satirical love / bullied?

I previously posted a question regarding the Alabama of other countries (apologies to those that did not enjoyed it). However, while reading the comments I discovered that Acre in Brazil doesn't exist and if it does it is filled with 🦕.

I immediately thought of Tlaxcala (Mexico), which is a hoax, "Tlaxcala son las papás" (parents are Tlaxcala). This is very likely related to the fact that is the smallest state by a far margin, you even need a 🔎 to find it.

So..., I wanted to know what state or city of your country gets the most satirical love / bullied?

this aint some creep cam is it? im at a five star hotel rn wtf

I thought if I create an account everywhere in the lemmy universe, it's valid for every lemmy page (like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml).

Apparently this is wrong. Do I have to create an account there again if I want to post there?

(Reposted in this community cuz I didn't get any responses in the original community that I posted this under)

This is how I understand the communist utopia: Workers seize means of production. Means of production thus, start working for the proletariat masses rather than the bourgeoisie class. Thus, technological progress stops being stifled and flourishes. Humanity achieves a post scarcity-like environment for most goods and services. Thus, money becomes irrelevant at a personal level.

In all this, I can’t see how we stop needing a state. How can we build bridges without a body capable of large scale organisation? How would we have a space program without a state for example? I clearly have gotten many things wrong here. However, I’m unable to find what I’ve gotten wrong on my own. Plz help <3

Edit: Okay, got a very clear and sensible answer from @Aidinthel@reddthat.com. Unfortunately, I don't know how to link their comment. Hence, here is what they said:

Depends on how you define “state”. IIRC, Marx drew a distinction between “state” and “government”, where the former is all the coercive institutions (cops, prisons, courts, etc). In this framework, you need a “government” to do the things you refer to, but participation in that government’s activities should be voluntary, without the threat of armed government agents showing up at your door if you don’t comply.

Do I allow them to continue doing so? I obviously have concerns

sense most online business are having black friday is it worth buying something or should i pass and try to save my money. im a teen i have around 200$ but i would like to limit myself to 100$ or less. im probably posting this in the wrong place but im not sure, i just want to make a smart choice when it comes to money.

also i will not be investing in stocks or crypto so please dont suggest it.

My fiance has been struggling a lot lately with this and it's taking a toll on me. I'm doing all I can and all I know how to do but it's getting really hard and exhausting to deal with the constant cycle of abuse and then apology and then abuse and then apology over and over and over again for months. Usually day by day. I have convinced her to go to a counselor for help and she has an appointment set and seemed willing but she has kept up the cycle of drinking and I'm afraid she'll just ignore it or pretend to go. If anyone has experience helping a loved one through overcome this I would appreciate the help. She is an absolutely wonderful person when she is sober and I love her with all my heart but I'm not sure what else I can do and I don't want the rest of my life to consist of this.

He have good full time job as software engineering (5 years experience).

He begin side hustle. He join a real estate agency. (which seem unreasonable because he should work in IT industry side hustle, which he have 5 years experience) But most of the time he taking class, and post picture of class on social media.

I am worries. It feel like a cult.

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

mines beau biden - no reason lol.

edit: up yours profile pictureless downvoters, we'll see who cancels who in the end

I'm in a nasty frame of mind right now, and this is what my 'tism brain decided to laser focus on for several hours. I'm mad that my light bulbs cost 10x more than they used to, and don't last any longer, and my power bill is higher than ever.

Yeah yeah, I know, it's probably just capitalism shitting it up on purpose for profit. And bulb science is probably solid, I guess. I'm just pissed off that I just barely managed to scrape through this pay period with $2.78 left in the bank before I default on my mortgage.

Anyway, any lightbulb science comrades got any info?

Here's a couple of examples:

• Tantacrul's Notation Must Die
• Solar Sands' Monumentality

I love her, blew my mind she used to be a top GOP operative in the sense that she seems so fair if very assertive and excellent at keeping things on track

Hi all, I am looking for a starter tablet to show tabs, and in the future potentially musical notation.

As a starter into i am looking for ideas on what sort of tablet. Is 10" big enough? and what are some good apps for it?

My preference is Android, but if all else fails, an iPad could work.

cheers

I have been experimenting with react native as I heard it's one of the good ones, and so far it is not a particularly enjoyable experience. Lots of irritating things like no global styling, lots of ugly, hard to read properties on tags, etc

In a perfect world where you get to choose, which frontend frameworks would you use and why?
