Oh jeez. In my experience Accenture is barely competent; this does not bode well.

Or like, a CR2032.

Probably need to tweak the settings on whatever display you’re using, or potentially consider investing in a more-modern type of panel depending on what you have now.

In addition to what another poster said about getting an off-site backup hard drive, I would recommend looking into setting up a raid array for data redundancy with your online storage. You don’t want one hard drive failure to make all of your data inaccessible.

Young Americans can already barely pay for food and rent let alone luxuries like entertainment

seriously - too many people see criticism of Israel’s government and read it as condemnation of all Jews. As if it’s the case that that government represents all Jewish people worldwide (or even all Jewish people in Israel…!)

It’s like people are thinking that wanting Israel to stop its genocide also means there should be another genocide targeting Jews?? Nuance beyond that sort of black-and-white polarized viewpoint seems to be increasingly dead.

That is one of my favorite angles when trying to lift up someone who is discouraged about dating or friendship. Our minds are not equipped to really understand just how big the world is. There are a functionally infinite amount of people to meet. Even if you filtered humanity down to fluent speakers of your language, your preferred gender, close in age, you’re probably looking at more introductions / blind dates than you could ever possibly accommodate in your lifetime. It sounds trite to say “there are always more fish in the sea” but you can always keep trying.

Well, that’s a good starting point. The age thing probably isn’t as big a deal as you think, but there are probably other people close to your age studying there too, it might just be a little harder to find them.

I guess all I can say is keep putting yourself out there, and don’t focus too hard on anything more serious than friendships while you’re feeling lonely. Be kind to yourself and I think the rest will follow

But you are going to university. That is a HUGE opportunity to make connections. See if there are any clubs or activities you could be a part of. Try to give some things a try, even if you’re only sort of sure whether you will like it. Make small talk with your peers! It doesn’t take much to get friendships going when you have regular proximity to people and find some that share your interests.

how can you say something so controversial, yet so brave

There are a lot of people who I don’t think care whether he is found guilty or not tbh

Bellular News did a decent video in the aftermath. https://youtu.be/sMTqibwya1k

*glances at publisher I’m sure close proximity to the Annapurna drama hasn’t helped this creator’s mental health along the way

You are aware that Threads and Facebook have the same origins, right?

Surely you’re not directing those comments at Mastodon…

Uh, nope, you’re putting words in my mouth. It’s not realistic to worry about mitigating that kind of stuff when we can’t even prevent ourselves from cooking ourselves, and several of the things you listed don’t even have plausible technical solutions right now. Nice try, though.

a planetary catastrophe out of our control

You’re still describing climate change. Science fiction ideas are fun to think about but our own inability to live harmoniously with nature is going to kill us off before any of those problems become relevant.

Not defending their practices, but I don’t think it’s scamming when it’s just openly a really shit deal and both parties agree

where is my wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man FPS where you are leaning randomly all the time uncontrollably

Mobile-only… I don’t think that’s as much of a flex as they think it is
