  I wonder if your brain then starts to align how you hear your own voice and how you hear it when it’s recorded. If it starts to sound more the same for you.

  Would also be really weird if you for a long period only heard recordings of you speaking, and when you start speak again, you get equally, or probably more, freaked out by your own voice, as when your hear it records.

  I’m still quite new to Lemmy. I still don’t quite get how it all works, haha. I’m using the Thunder app (don’t ask me why), and when I go to settings it’s the second option I’m presented with. Then you just add keywords for the things you’d like to filter out.

  My cat is better at barking than you are :-)

  Not that I’m aware of. Go nuts.

  Fexofenadine is also by far the best I’ve used for my allergies. I have no side effects from them, no sleepiness and they work in 20 min. I use the 120mg variant.

  Would you like to share how you think i could become part of the solution?

  Our cat is as dangerous and brave as Toulouse and also never grew bigger than kitten size.

  She’s have always been an indoor cat. We don’t believe she would last long outside on her own, with her two functioning brain cells.

  It’s all good points! Seems like I won’t run out of things to read here. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

  Our cat is not much into catching mice. We once lived in an allotment house, which is mostly a shed. We once had a mouse in our bedroom, we had to wake up the cat. We placed her near the mouse, so she could see it. She just lied down and continued to sleep.

  It’s primarily Linux posts that’s left haha. Luckily, I don’t mind that, as I have recently started using Linux again.

  Thanks! And thank you for a civil discussion. I will at some point look it up. If you have some resources you could recommend, that would be nice. I guess there a lot of good but also bad readings on the subject out there.

  I’ve volunteered a lot before I got kids, where I was mentoring children of refugees. But having two kids under the age of 5 is a full time job beside my full time job, so currently there’s not many hours left of the day to do volunteering.

  But I do still try to do small things here and there to improve the world around me.

  I believe not reading news is what got us here. Too many have given up and don’t take a stance, which allows the situation to just get worse and worse.

  But, I also stopped reading news. I stopped the day Trump won the election. The world is a shit show and I won’t allow my mood to get dragged down every day. I have a family and kids and I want them to have a good life and a fun dad to be around.

  If things like what happens with the ICE raids are happening, the Epstein files, dictatorship suddenly threatens everything I’m not burying my head in the sand, but I want to dose the amount of news I consume.

  I definitely get that! And it is definitely an issue. Personally, I feel like the state of the world is constantly knocking on my door. It’s almost claustrophobic. I vote for parties and politicians I believe in, I try to avoid supporting the ones who try to fuck up our world by not using their products or buy them.

  But besides that, I not sure what else I can do, and I’m definitely up for suggestions.

  Cat posts never disappoints. I should contribute soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but i’ve just reached a point where I don’t want to get bummed out, everytime I open a social media app.

  There must be positive things to talk about, and not just the enshittification of everything and the end of the world.

  I have a filter on

  Trump Musk ICE Vance [Ai] slop Microsoft Grok

  My All Feed is basically empty now or consists of posts with zero or very few comments. I love the filter option, but it has also made it quite clear what is being pushed the most on Lemmy.

  I don’t know how wide spread smart meters are in the US, but it should be fairly simple so have an extra tariff on these kind of consumers, or perhaps just tariffs during peak periods.

  At least it could be enforced that the surplus heat from data centers had to be reused in some way, could be residental heating or ptx.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Electric Bills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How would that work? With a flat fee or depending on whether ai companies are tipping the scale to a more expensive marginal price?
