And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
With all due respect, I disagree. As long as people that are uneducated on sex exist there will always be children born. And there will always be uneducated people around. So we are covered on that.
I think what your mother implies by her words is that no one's life will be perfect. I'm an optimistic person so that is total bullshit to me. What I'm asking for is far from perfection. I really do not think being financially stable/independent and being away from my parents is a lot to ask for.
This is a complicated question. I hate kids. Multiple. They are loud, dumb. But when there's only one kid, I actually really like interacting with them! It's so much fun to forget who I am for a moment and play games with a kid! I love teaching new things to them and seeing them try them out.
I will only "have" a kid when the conditions are ideal. That being, finacially stable and away from my family. I do not want them to corrupt the kid's mind with their religion bullshit. A partner for me is not neccesary. I also plan on adopting a kid rather than making one. Infant or a kid? I'm uncertain.
Seriously. Why the hell is the guy's face in there anyway? I would understand if it was Nvidia's logo that was large as hell. I imagine it might be to tell his followers "it's me" but whatever.
I want the latter. Being famous and rich will give me the power to spend my wealth on causes that I deem worthy. It will also give me the power to infulence people to some extent in order to achieve my goals.
Yup. The option was disabled. Don't know why it was off but now it's working.
Will keep the post up incase someone else misses it.

What's your position in your imaginary world? What do you see yourself as? As a person that you want to be or as a perfect version of your current self? Or do you not imagine yourself as yourself at all? In some other form? Not as a human but rather some sort of an idea?
Are you always on the top in your imaginations or do you imagine yourself to be not the most important person?
I am not entirely sure if it's related or not but I'm working on a story with a similar concept. A man is trapped in a room inside his mind for a very long time. The room is shaped according to his personality. But how would that look, exactly? I imagine him to be an intellectual and an inventor. Therefore, there would be books and electronic compoments in the room. As the time goes on the room begins to break down. The walls crack, lights dim, objects expire, darkness takes over as his mind darkens and he goes insane. Not completely insane. He still remembers who he is and his memory is intact. But his goals, manners etc. have changed. But is simply making the room decay enough to portray the state of his mind? The room is still recognizable which means he still has qualities from his former self. And that is true. But I also plan on showing a larger scale place that surrounds the room. I am conflicted wheather those areas should look similar to his room or look different than it to imply most things in his mind have changed?
There's been a bug with .flac files for quite a while now. They haven't fixed it. Audio just stops very briefly then continues.
@davel@lemmy.ml May you please add me as a mod? poVoq has knowledge of it.
This is one of the tracks that I made for the video game project I'm working on. I'm still a beginner in music though. So I believe it might sound bad. I think volume balancing could use some polish.

I apologize for the late reply. I was really busy these few days.
OP, do you mind if I ask what your native language is?
Well I do not mind. It's Turkish.
For me, it was learning English. Although I do make a few mistakes here and there, I'm mostly perfect on it.
The amount of resources you have access to dramatically increases when you know a universal language. I say dramatically because it made me realize how much my native language lacks when it comes to certain topics. The most obvious one to me was tech and computers. Everybody knows how to use Windows but there are very few resources about stuff beyond Windows. It's actually sad. [insert sad face here]
I think it depends on what you are expecting out of the conversation. The chances are they will be excellent listeners. Buf that's about it unless something is wrong with them or you.
I hope you all are having a good day. I would like to start by saying that I'm the "can't take compliments" guy who posted a while back about how he "can't take compliments". I've been thinking about something for a while. That being the situation in the title.
Now, there is a girl that I really like. Let's call her Cass. Cass and I are very similar. We both share similar interests. Reading books, discussions about philosophy etc. But we are also similar character wise. What I mean by that is that we both like to make jokes and are great at it too, etc. etc.
I am comfortable around girls. No issues with that. But I've been just really, really, shy around her. To the point where I straight up leave the room if I see her. For a person such as myself, this is a pretty odd behavior. Because I give zero crap about what other people think of me.
So instead of endlessly questioning myself, I decided to use this as an opportunity to think.
Why do we humans do this? Cass is perfectly capable of getting along and understanding me. So why am I nervous around her? Is it because I sub-conciously put Cass on a pedestal? Even though it's kind of illogical considering she's a very pick-me girl with mental issues? (For clarification, I did not mean these parts of her character when I said that we were similar. But who's to say I'm perfect?)
This has been bugging for a while. Low self-esteem? I have plenty of it. Fear of being judged? Might be if I really am putting her on a pedestal.
So... what's your opinion? I might make a post about her situation one day. Because she's certainly an interesting person. It's interesting how depression can destroy someone.
Reminds me of the broken arms guy on Reddit
I'm usually cheerful around people but when they compliment me out of the blue I just get quiet. I'm not thinking about anything either. My mood decreases. It's not that I devalue myself. Deep down I am disgustingly egoist. However I don't inflict any of that on others. People wouldn't classify me as an egoist at all. Perhaps it's my ego that's causing this? I'm unsure.
I think because I don't believe them. But there a number of people that I respect and value the opinion of. What they say about me is absolutely true. But I still act the same towards their compliments.
While I did not go through any kind of things that you have, though I did meet a few people who tried to use my own abilities against me in order to feel above me, sometimes I do suspect if the compliments I'm getting are genuine or not. I just toss those kind of thoughts away immediately. Most of the time it doesn't even come to suspecting the compliments. I disregard them.
I’m an extrovert, and I was a gifted kid. I haven’t been gaslit about my abilities, and I was supported and encouraged as a kid. I know what I’m capable of, and I know my limitations. I love myself, and wouldn’t choose to be anyone else.
I'm the exact same. Well, perhaps saying "exact" is too much. Let's just say "similar" instead. I love myself so much.
To me, compliments feel like someone passing judgement on me, like they’re putting themselves in a place above me so they can judge me. I’m aware that’s not what they’re doing, but that’s always been what it feels like to me.
While I personally think they aren't judging me, I sometimes feel like I'm doing exactly what you have described when I compliment people. I try to compliment people whenever I can in order to make them feel good and while it works, I feel like I'm above them for doing so.
Not to brag but I'm a pretty confident person in my social circle. I'm funny, make people laugh etc. etc.
Basically, I am adored by everybody.
But there is something that I noticed about myself lately. Regularly people come up to me to chat and sometimes they compliment me. Now, complimenting isn't a bad thing, obviously. But I just don't feel anything when I receive them.
However I enjoy it when people talk good things about me when I'm not present. I, again, don't feel anything when people talk shit about me when I'm not present. BUT I really enjoy it when people straight up come at me and say something bad at me. My mood increases and I spend the rest of my day happier.
Is this some kind of a defense/coping mechanism that I have unintentionally developed? I don't see anything bad about this.
It's also worthy to say that I spent the majority of my life isolated up until a few years ago. No compliments at all but nobody to say bad things either. Is this why I fail to appreciate compliments?
This might also be an automatic response to prevent discussion. Although I'm not sure since it's MS' AI.
A few months ago I dropped my phone (Samsung Galaxy A70) and the screen broke. Got a new phone, problem solved. But there is some data on it that I forgot to include in my backups. Very small files but important for achive purposes.
Screen (touch input too) and the speaker are dead. I know the password (obviously) but how will I go around doing this? First thing that came to my mind is connecting the phone to a computer via USB. But there are some obstacles.
The phone is rooted and has LineageOS 20 (and Lineage Recovery) installed. The phone is on vibration or muted mode. Therefore an external speaker isn't of much use. The OS is most likely fully functional. I can tell when the screen is on and not by holding the power button. If it's on, it will vibrate which indicates the power menu has openned. If it's off, the flashlight will turn on.
Phone has a USB-C 2.0 port and the wireless cast doesn't work due to Google Services being absent (apparently) so no video output. First thing I tried doing is just straight up connecting it to a computer. Obviously it didn't work because I didn't unlock the phone and a security feature that only uses USB for power unless otherwise is told is active. That setting can be changed via a notification. So I tried connecting a mouse and keyboard. I couldn't if anything was happening or if the peripherals were connected at all.
So what do I do? I'm thinking of booting into Lineage Recovery and see if I can do anything with ADB or fastboot. But probably not since the data is encrypted.
This year we made good progress. You know, Linux gaming becoming better, Reddit fucking up, Metaverse failing etc. But on the other hand Big Tech has or are planning to make some moves. Such as, Google's Web Enviroment Integrity API (EDIT: they backed off), UK's encryption bill, etc.
So what do you think of the future? I'm currently optimistic. I think the best recent event was Reddit fucking up. Obviously one of the biggest information sources going down that path isn't something to celebrate. But it was bound to happen. I believe decentralized social networks becoming more popular is what Aaron Swartz would have wanted if he saw how Reddit was being managed.
Is there a product out there that can be used in the way the picture below (or above) shows? A really small speaker that's in (or silighly bigger) the similar size of phone's built-in speaker.
