Yeah, that kind of stuff exactly. Good to know it happens to others.

I wish there was a foss option that was so good for, for lack of a better description, mindless learning

I kind of a little bit believe that dreams have some weird predictive ability. The scientist in me knows it’s likely a mix of confirmation bias and information synthesis, but like… my family has a pretty strong history of dreaming about deaths and births a week or two prior to pregnancy announcements and right before/after deaths. My mom has had several dreams where a loved one has come and chatted with her in a dream and said goodbye, then later that day we learn they passed, for example. It’s happened enough that I have a lot of trouble brushing it off. I’ve had a similar dream myself and it felt quite different from a normal sleep dream. That one was less paranormalish though, it was a friend who died a few years ago and showed up to give me some life advice. Just… hit me in a specific, indescribable way (it was good advice too).

Can’t explain it. Don’t really believe it’s paranormal I guess, but I also don’t disbelieve.

and this way we’re also not throwing value at a hostile american corporation.

As a person who has probably typed thousands of words defending the difference between ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’ I can’t tell you how good I feel reading your comment.

afaict Lemmy stayed ‘pretty good’ after the last reddit migration, maybe this one will be enough to fuel a lot of the niche communities that I think are missing here.

yay this time I came back to lemmy before it was cool.

you too friend!

I got suspended because I was banned from a sub years ago on a different account, and I can’t block that subreddit. Accidentally commented on r/all, instantly suspended for ‘ban evasion’. I didn’t make a secret of the alt account, I made it to avoid doxxing. I didn’t want to comment on the subreddit, I’d block it from my feed if I could. Reddit knew I was banned and could have just kept me from posting there in the first place. Instead, suspension for evasion. Their whole setup is truly bizarre.

Anyway it dramatically reduced my doomscrolling so it wasn’t a bad thing

yup. it’s successfully costing america its allies.

It’s not inappropriate though. I’ve been saying for years Canada should not be so closely allied with such a fickle country.

I’m no great fan of windows, but I have no issues reconnecting to bluetooth things. Kinda the opposite really, my phone and windows keep wanting to compete for who gets to be connected to my headset as soon as I turn it on, I have to make sure to turn off bluetooth when I’m done with it. I think the problem may be on your end in this case.
