Mental health IS physical health. The mind IS embodied. Trying to separate the two is not only unwarranted but also harmful.

I fucking hate this implication that #SexWork is not genuine or positive. The companies ruling over our lives keep getting more and more prude and the oppression of sex workers continues as usual..

@halley @yassie_j I think the porn industry is far too big to ever fall. But independent sex workers and adult content creators? Lewdness on social media? That kind of stuff is getting more and more difficult. It's a large part of why I use fedi and will protect it with my life.

@NeonPurpleStar It's a spooky month!

@Houl @freeplay This is such an adorable exchange

"Trans people are destroying traditional values!!"
Good. That's the point.
Your "traditional values" suck.

I'm always so surprised at modern fast charging standards. I mean not too long ago it'd take the whole night to charge a phone to full and now it's like "Oh my phone is kinda low and I have to get going soon. I guess I'll plug it in for like 15 min" and then in that time it somehow charges by like 30% what on earth how

@pettter I absolutely agree. But it certainly doesn't help that some of the world's richest and most awful corporations also happen to own and control the most mainstream media platforms. And they intentionally make those platforms promote mindless entertainment and pointless outrage first and foremost.

@pettter Individual impact might not matter much but I don't think most people even think about these things. Most people I see in my day to day life happily go along with whatever corporations try to impose on us without giving it a second thought, going as far as to mock me for speaking out against it. The reason there's little political pressure is that most people simply don't care or are more than happy to take even the slightest conveniences.

Most of the problems folding phones "solve" could be fixed by simply producing smaller smartphones that come with none of the drawbacks of folding phones. But of course we can't have a simple solution that allows for cheaper phones that use more common materials and don't break down over time. Expensive, over-engineered products that break from just being used and can't easily be repaired are obviously much better! ..For the companies selling them..

Seriously, we can't keep enthusiastically buying into products that are more harmful to the environment and consumers just because they're ever so slightly more convenient than the alternative. This attitude of convenience over everything else is a large factor in how we ended up with a global climate crisis and a dystopian capitalist system.

You do not need same day delivery. You do not need a gimmick phone that you'll need to replace as soon as the soft plastic screen gets scratched a little too deep. You do not need a home AI assistant that collects data about everything going on in your "smart home".

What you do need is a world in which current and future generations can not only survive but also thrive. I think we can all sacrifice a bit of convenience for that.

PSA about the Steam client performance:

Turns out that in your Steam library, rare achievements are marked with an animated light effect. This animation somehow takes up an astounding amount of system resources especially on older PCs/laptops.

If you notice that your PC slows to a crawl whenever your steam library is open, you can go to Steam > Settings > Library and then turn on Low Performance Mode. It simply disables a few insignificant animations but the performance gains can be massive. On my old Dell Latitude, the CPU usage goes from >50% to <10% just from changing this one setting!

I have no idea why they put this under "Library" and not "Interface" cause I've been looking for a setting like this for months but I finally found out about this and now you have too!

Friendly reminder that if person with ADHD doesn't reply to your messages for a while or forgets about important events because of hyperfixating, it doesn't mean that they don't care or that they're lazy or that they're upset at you or anything of the sort. When we get hyperfixated on something we can spend hours focused exclusively on that one thing entirely losing track of time, sometimes even forgetting about basic bodily needs. It can very much be unhealthy and is often a much bigger problem for us than it is for you. Please be understanding.

I used to be just a regular guy but then I got bitten by a radioactive girl and gained all the powers of one. That's how I became Woman-man! :nonbinary:
