What was the saddest/most touching thing you saw on the internet? (lemmy.ml)
 

I remember that on Reddit, a few years ago, there was a woman on a subreddit.

I was just looking what was on Reddit and doomscrolling r/shitposting for 20 minutes was more than enough. I decided to just type-in random words to the URL bar to see what subreddits I would stumble upon.

After lots of private and NSFW subs, finally I ended up on r/alone and I found this lady in the sea of "i wanna kill myself soooo baddddd" posts.

The lady was autistic if I remember collectly. She had a boyfriend who also had a mental ilness. Unlike her though, he was violent. He would scream at her for pointless things and shit.

The lady was always confused. At least she seemed so to me. Which is probably the autism. She had a hamster cage and had a brain-injured hamster that she kept because it was sick in the head just like her, as she put it.

Have no idea what happened to her. I still think about her sometimes. It just felt so sad.

I guess you can become like that? I remember times when I took all the shit to heart. I wasn't told much though just like "your nose is big" silly stuff like that hurts when it is the only bad thing you hear though so I hope you understand.

I'm actually both sad and glad I am this way. On one hand it feels great to untouchable by words and y'know just live the life.

But... it feels like I lose something when I am, in my own terms, a wall. It's like... yeah I have a spine (not to say you don't I'm so sorry if it came out that way) but it just feels like... I sometimes hurt people along the way.

I saw your latest post about your partner David and his friend Sean and I'm sad to say I have a friend whom I treat the way Sean treats you parther.

Now I don't know anything about any of you but I can safely say in my case the guy is a dick who doesn't respect my boundaries.

Obvious thing to do for me is to cut ties with the guy. And I did. Albeit with hesitation. There is this little thought in my head that lingers "am I a dick?".

The guy is pretty messed up. He lost his father long ago and probably has schizophrenia. That is why I feel bad. And... why I kind of envy you.

Anyway the point is, you can fix yourself. I have found it's to be optimistic and be aware of the greater things going on around you. It makes you think that whatever happens to you, is so small in compared to the great things around you that they are ultimately pointless.

How you might do that? Well I don't know I read fiction books all my life my brain just turned that way. I guess you could do the same. Hobbies, hobbies, hobbies.

I've been reading your posts and... I'm quite unsure whether or not this is appropriate to ask. Well just don't answer if you don't want to.

What does it feel like to... be like you? Like your resentment towards those who wronged you?

I have no mental disorders (apparently) but I was raised in a rather interesting way. That being, stuck in a small social circle with nothing but books. I'm 19 right now and my whole life was just people patting me on my back for being smart. No real connections whatsoever.

I understand the conditions that people such as yourself go through but I literally can not grasp my mind around the concept that one would feel resentment towards another. Obviously people hate each other but what talking about is still thinking about that person's effect on you while they are not there.

Just to be clear, I am not saying any of this as means to devalue or insult you. I literally don't understand. When one talks shit about me I just say "whoopsie oppsie!" and go on.

I am no expert but yeah that sounds like it. Well, focus on your hobbies. They help greatly.

Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 120 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (7 children)

God damn it. People on the Turkey subreddit were running a campaign to move from X to Bluesky because X was honoring the requests of the Turkish Government to take down footage of police brutality and shit.

I and many others have told people to NOT go to Bluesky because it was "owned" by Jack Dorsey and could get bad as Twitter did.

Of course, absolutely nobody listened. Some celebrities also even moved to Bluesky (including the comedian and actor Cem Yılmaz, one of the most known amongst the people. Basically the Jim Carrey of Turkey.) And now THIS happens. Bravo.

I remember seeing some telling others to use OperaGX because a Turkish PARODY ACCOUNT of the official X account posted a meme that supports the protests. I said it's stupid to support OperaGX because of who is behind it and one of them had the balls to say "Bruh like a browser changes anything your info is everywhere"

So mind boggling.

How to use radio/radio modems to communicate with random people? (lemmy.ml)

You know how sometimes in a show or a movie there is a character that has a "radio friend" that they talk to? Yeah that's what I want to do.

But I do not know how to so I came to ask you! Cheap, preferably.

Out of curiosity, I found this app on IzzyOnDroid, (which gave me the idea in the first place) Codec2Talkie that seems to be what I'm looking for but I'm unsure due to my ignorance.

A radio modem seems to be required as the app description dictates. I can find one somewhere no issue. But is this the correct approach? Is there a better way that I don't know of?

What are the best (free) math resources out there? (lemmy.ml)

EDIT: Thanks everybody for the suggestions! You've been great help to me.

I'm getting prepared for my computer science degree in college but pretty behind in the related classes. What are the best resources out there? Preferably in English as my native language resources are shit at explaining the basics.

I'm currently studying in Khan Academy but was wondering if there are somethings I'm missing out.

NOTE: I am NOT in college yet. I'm trying to get in college now. So the stuff I'm looking for is high school stuff.

How to deal with being bald? (lemmy.ml)
 

Until yesterday I used to have long hair. Due to unusually high tempetures I started having problems with the skin on my head. So, to avoid problems. I shaved it clean and it will remain that way until the skin in treated.

Now that I'm bald, I now know what's it's like. It sucks. My old hair suited me perfectly. It was messy just the right amount, perfect length, made me look different than the rest and handsome as hell. Every girl would look at me where ever I went to. Compliments floating over the air, jealous looks from other men etc. etc. It made me feel powerful.

But most importantly, it suited my personality and clothing. It was perfect! But now it's gone. I hate bald me. I will never look back at this bald version of myself.

It feels weird. I don't feel that bad but still it's disheartening.

I can't exactly make out what it says after the error code thanks to the mystery unicode characters but I will try my best.

"The package couldn't pass the updating, or verification."

Firefox Android: Make the openning screen a web address (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Recently I installed Firefox on my parents' phones (uBlock Origin too) in order to make them surf the web more securely as we've had a few cases in the past with malware. (Google Chrome, the advertisement company's browser, does not like ad blockers. Wonder why?)

All they care about it is it openning Google.com and apparently they don't like Firefox's home screen. There are only options for "the last tab", "home screen" and "home screen after few hours of inactivity" but no option to go to a specific web address. In this case, google.com.

So... how do?

How do you see yourself in your imagination? (lemmy.ml)
 

What's your position in your imaginary world? What do you see yourself as? As a person that you want to be or as a perfect version of your current self? Or do you not imagine yourself as yourself at all? In some other form? Not as a human but rather some sort of an idea?

Are you always on the top in your imaginations or do you imagine yourself to be not the most important person?

Sky Palace (Demo 3) (www.youtube.com)
 

This is one of the tracks that I made for the video game project I'm working on. I'm still a beginner in music though. So I believe it might sound bad. I think volume balancing could use some polish.
