No one wants to watch the same tired clip over and over forever while having the daily wank.

My wife is a teacher. Kids come to school without the ability to use keyboard and mouse which was not the case in the 90s. I also only drive manual :P

The average person is becoming MORE technologically illiterate, not less. The era of growing up with a home computer that required fiddling and dial up, etc is over. People grow up with phones and iPads and kids come to school not knowing how to use a mouse.

The picture looks like they glued another kids face onto the child, yikes.

Why can’t we just have fewer people too? Instead of finding ways to support 50 billion people, how about we have good birth control facilities, education, and economies not based on constant never ending growth? The reality is unending growth WILL end whether people like it or not- wouldn’t it be better to do it on our own terms rather than in a global catastrophe?

So on voyager for lemmy, it’s just the key word filter- for YouTube I stick to what I’m subscribed to and dislike anything that breaks through, block it, and the “dont show this to me again” option, for Bluesky you can use https://blueskydirectory.com/lists to just mass block all the Nazi/maga/crypto shit in just a couple clicks to name a few. My feeds cleaned up real fast and just started showing me stuff I was interested in.

Big problem for me was even articles and news items I agreed with ruined my day- I can only take so much bad on a constant basis.

Oh I just added filters to everything to filter out anything with trump, musk, republican, maga, nazi, etc etc etc etc. after adding about 100 key words, I just dont see any of that shit anymore. Completely tuning it all out has done wonders for my mental health.

Feeling enraged and helpless all day every day is pointless, the only one that loses is you. So, I decided to tune all that noise out completely, and focus on things I can control- activities with family, house projects, hobbies, collections, friends, work.

I’m pretty much back to normal after months of desperation. I’m in a place now where seeing the occasional thing that slips through my filters doesn’t ruin my entire day because I’m not constantly at rock bottom anymore.

TLDR; stop following and worrying about things you cannot control. Tune that out and focus on the rest of your life!
