  For a layman this sounds counterintuitive. Get non personalised ads sounds like you are going to be bombarded with obscene ads which you don’t want. But in reality it’s way worse turning it on. I was suprised I had it turned on for a very long time because when I made my account it sounded like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly my mind has been tweaking lately ever since I started working. I’m under artificial lights all day long and sometimes I have no clue when I see “9:00” if it’s night or morning for at least 5secs. I really hate how my phone doesn’t show AM PM either.

  Also using 24hrs clock really puts the time spent in the day into perspective. 9pm doesn’t look as daunting as “you’re 21hrs” into the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we need more users ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The post the other day about lemmy needing more users and engagement gave a little nudge to me commenting more. I guess same thing happened with many users and you can see the spike in the graph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we need more users ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re going to need sports fans.

  This. We are in huge lack of sports discussion here on lemmy. I’m looking at other places for sports content because it’s just not here. I miss live threads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're a parent, how do you prevent your kid from watching AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s an option “Don’t recommend videos from this channel” when you click on three-dots of the recommended video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your technology mispredictions?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought touchscreens would never work out. But here we are in a generation where have touchscreens in cars too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your technology mispredictions?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  "Why doesn’t the touchscreen work? "

  I’m afraid price won’t be right or I have to say it’s hard for to it to be right when pc components are soaring in prices. They just ran into a bad timing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JUJUTSU KAISEN The Culling Game | Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m getting back to JJK to catch up with everyone for s3. I have watched s1 and the movie but it was so long ago, I feel I need something like a recap before I start watching from s2. Is it okay if I jump straight into s2 or do I need to rewatch s1?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your gaming highlights of 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I left gaming. That’s the highlight. I’m yearning to get back tho. But my laptop is kinda struggling to play games so yeah I might be away from them for e long time ig.

  Yeah ever since channels were added I am using that tab much lesser. And oh nobody texts me anymore either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you beat post-work floppiness?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone sharing their own coping mechanisms in the comments makes me want to question the whole thing itself. Why are we living like this? And why do we need to force ourselves to go through all this? What is the end goal? Are there no better ways to live? Why, why, whyyyy…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you beat post-work floppiness?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Relate to the WFH situation a lot. I need a fix really bad :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you beat post-work floppiness?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is actually what I did when I was in a miserable work schedule and it works!

  The moment you sit down, your lethargy keeps going up to a point you barely want to do anything.

  There are billions of free users available. All they need to do is strip-off few excellent features of their free model and hide it behind a pay wall annnnd voila these free users have now became their paying customers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the boundary could be imposed on you (ie: you leave the room), the boundary could be imposed on the other person (ie: you tell them how you feel and tell them the consequences

  I was in the same situation as the OP and I have done both the things you have suggested and guess what they didn’t change anything. Yes the day I told them what I felt and walked out of the room, felt reliving, as I did what I wanted to do and the next few days felt different too. But things came back to being bad as they were before.

  And this made me think that, I shouldn’t have been the nice/doormat guy I was from the beginning itself and be more open about my views and opinions which would make me look like a strong character. First impression is everything and you really can’t do anything after they’re set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When was the first time you cried over an anime?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stein’s Gate. I cried so much that I had to pause the episode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a case of corporation taking advantage of technically idiotic userbase, which is most of the general public. OpenAI using a dark pattern so that users can’t easily unchecked that box nor making that text that says “this can be indexed by search engines” brightly visible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI chatbots are becoming popular alternatives to therapy. But they may worsen mental health crises, experts warn⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount of people around me who are actively depending on their AI chatbots, trusting them so much so that they treat it like their personal companion, enjoying AI generated content on these short-form content platforms, putting up their AI ghibili profile pics on their social media, is very concerning. It’s sad state we have reached and it will go worse from here on.

  Same here. I wanted to include it too but it is not as quite bad as the other two(at least I hope so because I can’t avoid it). But yeah you never know with these Meta apps.
