- Comment on How to separate self-worth from Achievements and External Validation? 1 week ago:
I appreciate you trying to help me. Thanks.
I do understand this basic crux of tackling any problem. Unfortunately, it is just difficult to execute and implement these things in real life without burning out.
I have mood disregulation and dopamine issues which make it a lot more difficult to follow through. While I do that I wanted to also feel good about myself without letting it tie to how others perceive me. ( In terms of success ).

I guess, I can see what you are trying to say. I don’t disagree with what you are saying. But It doesn’t work for me specifically.
All my “achievements”(any that I value) have only been through blood and sweat, and that is partly one of the reasons I dread beginning something new - It will be that difficult all over again.
What I assume to be equal amounts of effort as anyone else, never usually results in the same outcomes. I spent a year to learn a language, and I am still A1. Now, A1 isn’t bad, but I really wanted to have learnt at least B1 by now. I know others who have done that.
I find it hard to find motivation day in and day out to do things everyday. I want to paste the Vaas meme here. I am enjoying the little things, but there is such existential anxiety that makes it difficult to enjoy even those.
So I can’t just like the process as it is either.
I am not sure, but I guess I have to change what my “process” is.

They suggested I could just come home and sit and watch my cats and… Just do nothing. I’m still working on that one.
That sounds so difficult. Just do nothing… A voice in my head keeps telling me “You’ve wasted so much to me! Others would have finished so much work in this time”.
I know that I should be more kind to myself. I am more kind to myself than I used to be. We only get one life and I can’t hate myself in it - Others wouldn’t hate themselves, they would be really good at loving themselves! Lol

This is a weirdo complaint but one thing I don’t like that some modern games keep doing is adding a lot of visual/texture noise by having a lot of details.
Hard Agree!
More != Good.
The added textures really take away from the reverent, almost divine nature of the ancient forerunner structures.
This just looks like halo infinite… Generic af. Not angry, people must have worked hard on it, but kind of disappointed.

I want to go to sleep excited for the next day. I used to be motivated by my goals. But goals are hard to achieve and I haven’t felt happy in the past after reaching some of my goals.
I want to enjoy being me without having to work for it.
Thanks for your reply.
- Comment on How to separate self-worth from Achievements and External Validation? 2 weeks ago:
I know this.
I was wondering how to effectively separate my self-worth from the “Achievements”.
I want it to be the process, but I can’t seem to make it the process.
- Comment on How to separate self-worth from Achievements and External Validation? 2 weeks ago:
It works well as a form of motivation though, albeit slightly toxic.
Yeah, but it only works so much. Then it’s just a voice that’s bullying you.

Chris n Jack are hilarious!
Fun fact : Jack is Jack de sena - Voice actor of sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender.
They have cameos from other voice actors from the show as well in their skits.

Yeah. Dude has a bad management problem.
Star citizen could have been delivered by 2017 if they had stuck to their original goals. They could have always added more as updates. I guess he never learnt about mvp.

- Comment on Block chain to stop AI scams. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I guess it is not feasible.
- Comment on Block chain to stop AI scams. 4 weeks ago:
No no. I have nothing to do with Blockchain. I barely understand it.
I was just thinking about methods of mitigating harm from misinfo and scam.
And since Blockchain provides privacy but at the same time provides some information to the public I thought it might have worked.
- Comment on Block chain to stop AI scams. 4 weeks ago:
It would be another variable to work with when trying to distinguish if the image/video is genAI or not.
- Comment on Block chain to stop AI scams. 4 weeks ago:
Oh damn. It’s starting to sound like something that can be used to justify complete control over people’s lives.
Governments and corporates might use the “security reasons” reason to get even more info and control over us.
Yeah that was not my intention.
- Comment on Block chain to stop AI scams. 4 weeks ago:
The point was to mitigate the harm I suppose not entirely stop it.
As for the mandatory dpxxing, you’d just be registering on the block chain, but wouldn’t give away any other information.
So the only info that you give away is - whether something is real or not.
- Comment on Block chain to stop AI scams. 4 weeks ago:
I did think about that. That was the original idea.
But I thought it was less feasible to get everyone on board for it than just the AI gen companies.
But again, I don’t know enough about it. I was wondering if there are any projects try to do something like this.
- Comment on Block chain to stop AI scams. 5 weeks ago:
Ahh yes, my intention was for such tech to make it difficult and mitigate harm not entirely stop it
If something lacked the fingerprint, it would immediately be suspicious.
But yeah I don’t completely understand the tech, so I want to know if there’s any such project or research on the same.
Block chain is an interesting form of fingerprinting that allows privacy for actors but not complete privacy.

- Comment on How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people? 1 month ago:
This is how I do it.
Brief
Imagine if there were 5 clones of twitter, all owned by different companies, but they could all still talk to each other.
Imagine that person from Twitter could talk to people from threads and bluesky.
Why do it this way?
- Each twitter clone could have its own quirks. Like one could have a dislike button where as the rest won’t.
- If one of the clone owners decides to become nazi, we can just migrate to another clone.
- This makes sure power is not concentrated in one place!
- If the system is open source, you can even start your own version of twitter where you rule!
Don’t care about talking to people on twitter!
But you say “I don’t want to have to talk to people from Twitter!”. Well, doing it this way allows you to choose not to do so. (There’s an option for this)
What is fediverse?
It’s the network through which all these different but similar apps can talk to each other. Lemmy is like reddit, there are 100s of lemmy apps that can talk to each other (or choose not to if they don’t want to). Mastadon is like twitter
And there are more.
Fun Extra
Unlike with instagram and twitter and reddit, fediverse apps like mastadon and lemmy can theoretically talk to each other. So you will be able to see your “tweets” with your “reddit feed”.

- Comment on Any FLOSS alternative's to Ground News? 2 months ago:
You should make one. It could be fun to make.
Since how you define something as being one political leaning over another is subjective (mostly), You could allow community to label the outlets and let it reflect current views and use feddy protocol, so you can have multiple aggregators that have different labels.
- Comment on Any FLOSS alternative's to Ground News? 2 months ago:
I got a stroke reading this, sorry but you’ll have to simplify.
If you mean to say socialism is communism lite. Sure, that’s exactly what it is. That’s a good transitory model.
Direct transition is susceptible to hijacking by fascists.
- Comment on Any FLOSS alternative's to Ground News? 2 months ago:
I am trekkie then. I want a post scarcity future where EVERYONE is equal and all we care about is exploring space.
- Comment on Any FLOSS alternative's to Ground News? 2 months ago:
It’s more socialism than communism. But ofcourse depends on which side of lemmy you are on.
- Comment on Any FLOSS alternative's to Ground News? 2 months ago:
I could see an alternative where the community curates and assigns the political learnings.
But yeah, otherwise it is just a service.

Well with the support that’s come from mainstream gaming influencers, I hope the opinion has swayed in the opposite direction.
