These people were treated like slaves, paid virtually nothing and they have to work all day, now they have to fear for their safety even more simply going to their horrible “jobs”? If only empathy was the biggest requirement for hiring people in border management and policing

The acab movement has caused more harm than it has salved. Furthering the ideas that there are no good cops means that nobody good will become a cop in the future, furthering the issue

I think of it as the parts of code that are specific to a business. The unique stuff that the business itself does, not generic stuff that all software does.

Spotify does music, a “play” function that starts music is business logic. A function that calculates the average of a set of numbers is generic code so not business logic.

Only band kids go to heck, their eternal punishment? Only sequels, no original film or book or tv show, just spin offs and sequels forever

The parallels are genuinely spooky, those who know history are doomed to watch on in horror at the approach of another catastrophe

Your environment has a tremendous impact on your emotions, in many cases depression is simply a chemical issue, kinda like a thunderstorm. Not much to do but prepare and seek shelter.

If you’re seeking to avoid general non chemical sadness then you should try to be around loving and kind people as much as possible, and seek solace in solitude when that’s not possible. Better thought patterns can lead to better outcomes as well.

That’s probably one of the most common use cases for the Steam deck, I’ve played a ton of emulated games and had a great time. Its far from perfect, especially for newer consoles, but pretty much anything GameCube and below is at least runnable

Archive.org is the best source of safe roms, who knows how long that will last though

We somehow value the things that make us primal more than anything else, love, strong emotions, conflict (can’t have a good story without an antagonist), dominating, ownership of mates through marriage

Even if given a chance to eliminate the primal side, humans would collectively say “No! Thats What makes us human!” As if somehow the culmination of all that awful stuff somehow has innate worth? Existence somehow isn’t worth living without conflict, lust, overcoming terrible odds, etc?

Easiest way to figure this out is to analyze your own behavior when interacting with people you’re not interested in.

Your brain is inconsistent, use external tools to stay focused on your core thoughts better. Pick some thoughts that you want to stick with long term, I choose metacognition as my primary default thought topic, then if I need to redirect from something unpleasant I switch to that thought track.

Metacognition is a marathon, there isn’t one clear better methodology to improve everything about your thinking process, stay open and curious!

You’re totally a bot looking for ideas aren’t you

Default instances would go a long way, I know there’s a lot of hate for lemmy.world but defaulting to the biggest instance or a random one in the top 10 would help ease some of the early friction. Users can choose an instance later when they get more comfortable with the platform.

Federation is neat but the average person just wants to scroll and chat

Interesting article, I appreciate all of the anecdotes. It makes sense that as we die our cognitive functions don’t all stop at once, the decline is scary and interesting

Dude looks like Hank hill’s dad in the third panel

Lemmy feels more like a community garden while reddit felt more like a really packed lunchroom.

Here it feels like we have to cultivate seeds and grow our food from scratch since nothing is premade, there it felt like there was infinite food available and growing a garden was kinda pointless

I guess maybe I came out of lurking to practice my metaphors or something, apparently that skill could use some work

You’re saying you’ve only ever watched one tv show ever? That’s wild

If the question is how do you revive a company with a dead reputation and little sales like Kodak, but tailored to that case specifically:

Kodak, and every other retail company, creates products that rely on not only their product, but also their brand. Companies with semi useless products sell them all the time

K-cups, somehow took an infinitely reusable thing like a coffee maker and turned it into a tiny plastic trash cup Dasani water is awful tasting, terrible for the environment, and expensive, but they go where they’re needed

And a million other examples, selling a product isn’t about being the best or even having something good. It’s really a matter of branding and marketing strategy.

Rebrand kodak to a bespoke camera with a bunch of little camera accessories, a small preview screen but a bunch of little knobs, lean into the fact that it’s not a smart phone. Print on the device like those urban outfitter cameras, make a snapchat style camera that will only keep photos for a day, do something different and target a specific audience and they could be revived as something different. Work on making a camera that can’t be reproduced by ai, human authenticity fingerprints for images or something.

Kodak as it was will very likely never make a comeback. They didn’t keep up.

Oh my bad, my reading comprehension degrades with my expectations I guess

There was a state that banned Reddit?!
