Why do we even care what these tech-bro ass hats think? We already collectively know his vision apply only to "poor people".

How to deal with exhaustion? in c/[email protected]

So if you're "disconnecting" and you spend the first few days just sleeping or staring at the TV, that's pretty understandable. You're paying off a fair bit of "rest debt".

This is actually a very solid point, thanks!

One suggestion: instead of regularly turning off your phone, just permanently put it in silent mode.

These days, I even set it to flight mode and vibration only for notifications, and I usually never check my phone during working hours.

I love to read but have a really hard time choosing a book over television.

Have you tried audio books or podcasts? I usually switch off my screens around two hours prior to sleep and tend to listen to podcasts and audio books until I fall asleep. Important to remember is that the voice of the narrator is super important, so make you get one that make you feel comfortable.

If your energy peaks at a particular time of day, that's when you should plan to exercise.

This is very sound advice and I can't believe I didn't think of it.

I, probably like many others, am struggling with exhaustion that seem hard to shake. It kills my hobbies and interests one by one, it makes doom scrolling and watching stupid shows seem like the only valid activities I can handle.

I have tried the "touch grass", I regularly switch off my phone to take breaks from social media, but it is hard to find motivation to anything but sleep and watch TV on the weekends.

Are there methods to deal with this sort of exhaustion from... gestures broadly at everything ?

Edit: after the initial replies I realized I probably should mention that I already do regular therapy and take prescription drugs for depression.

Edit 2: Thanks everyone for replying and handing out advice. My plan moving forward is to get some labs done to make sure I don't have any deficiencies and have my meds adjusted if they need to be. I will try eating better, be more conscious about sleep and regular exercise.

I thought we already had this discussion. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Swedish church leaders seek to ban fathers giving the bride away in c/[email protected]

No, I still believe the freedom of choice is the more important here. A couple should be free to chose a ceremony that they want, which the church can support or not. The church is a separate entity and like a corporation, they can set their own rules for what they allow or support, as long as it is within the legal framework of Sweden.

My second point is that the church could have had an internal discussion about this, but they (or more likely some indiviuals) have opted to make this internal debate into a political question, inflaming the topic to such a degree that even international media covers it.

While I agree wholeheartedly with the church making internal policies, but bringing an internal conflict into international media, airing a view that seem rather sensationalistic is what I react to. Having an internal discussion, making a decision and then implement a policy would have been the proper way.

While I agree that the act could be interpreted as an symbol of inequality, I really think personal choice should be the winner here.

Who from history would you bring back to make them punished for the wrongs that they brought onto the world? in c/[email protected]

I'm going to go with Leopold II of Belgium because of the atrocities this fucker unleashed upon the democratic republic of the Kongo.

Kissinger also come to mind, but he's not been dead long enough to be brought back yet, I think I'll leave that fucker to a generation that doesn't get hypertension just hearing the name.

What family sayings did you think was universal? (infosec.pub)
 

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/14650446

As I was growing up, my family had a couple of sayings I took for granted were universal, at least within my language. As I became an adult I have learned that these are not universal at all:

  • the ketchup effect. It is an expression meaning that when things arrive, they all arrive at the same time. Think of an old school glass ketchup bottle. When you hit the bottom of it, first there is nothing, then there is nothing and then the entire content is on your food.
  • faster than Jesus slid down the mount of olives. Basically a saying that implies that the mount of olives is slippery due to olive oil and Jesus slipped.
  • What you lack in memory, your legs suffer. An expression meaning that when you are forgetful, you usually need to run back and thus your legs suffer.

Please share your own weird family sayings.

The future of mobile devices? (infosec.pub)
 

I wonder if the charging port on mobile devices will go the way of the 3.5mm jack and be replaced with Qi and other wireless charging protocols. I also wonder if we will be forced into Bluetooth for all extension devices we used to connect to usb-c.
