My system is:

Rule number 1 - only local-ish facts. If there's a catastrophe in Vanuatu I should not have to care about it. I can't even find the place on a map.

Rule number 2 - only if the information reaches me. That means no "news" allowed. Block that word. When people you care about, in the places that you care about are discussing an issue that they care about, that's your hint to also care about it.

Rule number 3 - if I won't be consulted on the matter, then I don't need to have an opinion on the matter. It doesn't make you a bad person. Your own guilt won't improve others' (current and past) suffering.

I think it's important to mention that there's a worsening effect overall the more we stay connected to all the crap that happens in the world, which is our own desensitisation to it. I believe we need to stay a little away from it so we don't start to see all this as normal.

Also, of course, the negativity bias is brutal. You'll be dragged into it whether you want it or not, better to practice keeping yourself away from it. You'll be reminded of your privileges soon enough =)

Nice. I was thinking of like sheets of paper with the outline of each pane of the shoe, but you have the whole 3D model! =D Must be rewarding using your skills to solve your own problem like that. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your hikes!

Good shoes are important! Everyone should have access to them. Great that you have a cobbler that can make them for you. Did you have specific blueprints (? don't know the right term) that you gave them or did they take measurements at the place?

What sort of advanced usage you're after that 'break', 'list', 'step' and 'bt' are not enough for you?

Here's a mnemonic for you straight from Copilot:

🧠 Mnemonic: "Brave Lions Step Back"

  • Break → Brave
    Think of courageously "breaking" into the code at a chosen point.

  • List → Lions
    Lions "survey" their territory, just like list shows you the source lines.

  • Step → Step
    Easy one — you literally "step" through the program line by line.

  • bt → Back
    bt stands for "backtrace," which shows you the call stack — looking back at how you got here.


Software engineering: Don't script stuff! Seriously, just stop, it's a huge waste of everybody's time. I don't fucking care if you think mygitwrapper.sh is the bomb. I want you to know your git commands by heart or just learn to use the damn history on your terminal.

Scripting is only allowed if it's part of the project's infrastructure. Stop faffing about.

Mate, let's first focus on getting you better. Nevermind how the parents would react, parents aren't there forever and their reach on our lives can only go so far. I know in Asian culture things can get nasty, but at the end of the day there's just you and your sense of self. It gets better as you age and get to know yourself more and work through the issues left by trauma. But we need to get away from the morbidity aspect, that's not good for you.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be your therapist, but there's some relatability in your words, I feel an impulse to help.

Indeed I do. Here on Lemmy, for instance, anything with news in the name gets blocked. I follow my local news on my own terms by going to the news pages instead of being fed whatever is popular today. This helps a lot. Logically speaking, "news" must include mostly bad things, otherwise it'd be called "sames", (assuming, as I do, that we live in mostly good times). I'd recommend to everyone, specially people on the younger side, to try to experience life by yourself and connect to people one on one, mass media is a cancer.

It is not common knowledge. It is a common fallacy. People are the solution, not the problem. Bad things happening in the world absolutely do not mean "people are bad". You guys need to work on your psychological resilience. The bad news don't decide how you relate to people in general, that's a choice you're making. And you can stop making it. You'd feel better and less cynical.

(of course I'm here lecturing people, but I myself don't always manage to keep a positive mindset, we're human)

People are great. I don't mean to offend, but a generic dislike of people like that is a sign of low self esteem. Or any other of the myriad of mental illnesses we have today. That's why I asked. This needs to be addressed, simply moving into the mountains is not a solution.

Again, I don't want to sound confrontational, but psychiatry has studied this for decades, it's not a new thing. I wished we stopped making jokes with this subject. If yall dislike people that much, maybe you need some help. I'm saying it sincerely, not to belittle your individual experiences.
