You should look at JTX Board. It's associated with DAVx5 and they do the vjournal and vtodo standards. They have a list of services that support it. https://jtx.techbee.at/sync-with-davx5

Sounds like you might have ADHD. Anyway, don't give up. I found mindfulness practice 15 mins a day helped me a lot.

I think part of your problem is you're comparing yourself to others that are different to you. It's like thinking you're lesser because you're not a tall basketball player, when you're not meant to be a basketball player. IMO if you can hold a steady job to pay yhe bills that's probably the first thing. Then a good way to get off the drugs is to focus on exercise and eating healthy. If you can keep that up for a year theoretically you should feel a lot better about yourself. Maybe get into reading books as well. Even the most trashy of books.

This will take another 7 or 8 years to come to fruition.

Just curious because Distrowatch can be easily gamed; does anyone know how this might affect the linux consumer market? I'm using Mint and see no reason to switch to this. I used to nerd out about different distros but aside from the enterprise distros or Debian or Arch preferences I don't see why people are using smaller distros anymore. Hobbyist i guess?

Go search palestine or ukraine on google news and tell me if you see unbiased news 😉

Yandex is a really good search engine 🤷‍♂️

The only Israeli ally in that list is Jordan. The other arab states you're saying are allies are definitely allied with the USA, but their leaders are trying to balance economic stability with geopolitical realities. Ex. the UAE joined BRICS because it's trying to build its sovereignty.

I think people fail to realise that USA == Israel. Even Biden said when he was younger that if Israel wasn't there the USA would have to have some other entity there to keep the middle east fractured. The Anglo-Saxons don't want a powerful Arab world it's a 500-year old rivalry.

Set up a trust to invest the money, from the compounding returns, use a sustainable portion of the dividends to fund a cause you believe will help change the world. Be very explicit to the trust managers as to the long term instructions of the trust.

With compound market returns the million dollars could be worth $40 million in 50 years and would be distributing af a sustainable 3% dividend, 1.2 million a year to a cause you believe in.

 

"There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”."

 

Lol someone please defend this war criminal.

 

Good analysis of what options (or lack of) the west has with their commitment to killing Ukranians.

 

From the guy's own mouth.

 

There was a post from a mass media site the other day saying Turkey was approving Sweden to join NATO. This turned out to be a bit of wishful thinking.

 

It will be interesting to see more traditional BB forum software interconnect with other networks. All the gaming forums that will be able to cross post...

 

Just finished it. I like this show the comedy is pretty amazing and also it gets pretty emotional too without too much backstory. I did like the more backstory of the demons in seasons 2 and 3. I thought the humanizing of them gave an interesting perspective.

Looking forward to season 5, does anyone know the release date?

 

I'm just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There's been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.

Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?

I'll start; I'm anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.

 

I see like reddit this community is mostly western mainstream media news sources.

Unlike reddit this site doesn't have to ban alternative news sources or alternative opinions. Most people get their news from search engines that feature western mainstream media news sources.

I would like to help create a sticky thread that lists out all the available English media news sources and categorize them based on their geography and political ideology. I think this would help people discover new sources of news, while keeping in mind the underlying intent of how news is being reported.
