  • Start by deleting social media from your phone, make it so it’s really inconvenient to get in there. If you can’t afford to close your accounts then log out of the web brower’s websites and change the password to something randomly generated that you only have on your computer so you can only log in there when needed. You can still access the chats using something like Beeper.

    Find things to replace the doomscrolling with. Short simple games that actually help your brain like Tetris, Sudoku, and/or word games - I’ve been really enjoying Blossom Word Search, it’s really calming and satisfying.

    Get books that are about topics you care about or enjoy, doesn’t matter how good they are or if they provide any actual value… reading books will help you regain your attention span and reading comprehension skills while keeping you away from screens. You can set tiny goals like reading two pages without getting distracted and then grow it to 5, a chapter, and so on. Put your phone on do not disturb while you read or leave it in another room. Visit your local library, they’re free!

    Physical excercise will do wonders for your brain too. I personally love rope climbing in a gym and recently started doing parkour too. It’s a fun way of excercising and building community. Find a sport that calls to you and start by doing it one time a week, even if you suck, we all start somewhere. It’s much easier if you join other people already doing it, look for local groups that practice it. You don’t have to step foot in a regular boring gym.

    Anything you do start with small achievable goals and then build them up as that becomes easier. If you get distracted or start going back into old habits it’s ok, just stop and get back to it as you catch yourself. Eventually it’ll become easier.



  • Oooh, thank you! I did have 25.1, managed to upgrade to 26.04 but I still can’t update php. I did the grep line and found several files that have questing, besides php there was also docker for example. I deleted with ‘rm’ the two from php and tried updating again but no success. It tells me there are 6 upgradable files, one of them is php-common but it refuses to upgrade:

    Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting assignments:
       1. php8.4-common:amd64 is selected for install
       2. php8.4-common:amd64 is available in version 8.4.11-1ubuntu1.2
          but none of the choices are installable:
          - php8.4-common:amd64=8.4.11-1ubuntu1.2 is not selected for install because:
            1. php-common:amd64=2:99ubuntu1 is selected as an upgrade
            2. php-common:amd64=2:99ubuntu1 Breaks php8.4-common
    

    Could that be what’s causing the issues?






  • ooof then yeah, she’s being pressured into being eye candy for the managers, disgusting

    And yep, the only people that care about such things are the wrong people. I had a lawyer show up to an online meeting with me with like a white t-shirt or something super casual like that, he apologized, I couldn’t have cared less because either way he’s super polite and I’m there to get his knowledge and not have him look good for me.


  • I didn’t intend to come across dismissive or hostile, and I agree with you on the rest of what you’re saying. If it was my language that’s just how I express myself, truly, as I have strong feelings about this, it is something that has been beaten into me since the moment I started to have opinions about how I dress myself because me choosing the options that men have is too much to ask of society. Also, regardless of what your intentions were that comparison felt a bit out of touch. I think a much better example on how patriarchy affects men negatively is the social isolation and the “men don’t cry”. But saying that being forced into pants because it’s hot when I’m talking about being forced into being eye candy since we’re little girls and literally screwing up our bone structures is not a fair comparison and totally missing the point. As if I said that a slap on the face hurts as much as being kicked in the balls.


  • Yeah, you still cannot compare “I’m a bit hot in these pants” to “you need to be eye candy and pretend you aren’t bothered by men oogling at you while you’re forced to treat them nicely” or “fuck your spine and feet bone structure so you look nice for men” though. (Those high heels not only mess up your feet, they also mess up your spine) I took the “I’m a bit hot in 35C degree weather and the school keeps taking me out of classes to tell me I’m ruining my future” as a 10 year old kid over using a skirt every day. I believe grown men can deal with wearing pants that they can still choose the cloth of.

    But yes, patriarchy definitely affects men too, neither of us have any need to be dealing with this nonsense. Feminism is not just for women’s rights.



  • They’re just one more way to control women.

    There could be a whole dissertation written about this and I’m not gonna go there in a Lemmy Shitpost comment section. But I will say: “Women choose to wear them” - yes, and society has forced us in many ways by making it part of uniforms and being drilled into us since we’re little kids that we need to conform if we want to succeed. I say ‘we’ because I’m a woman but I have never worn shoes like that and I never will, it has caused me issues to reject such standards. I’m lucky I chose a career where I’ve always been allowed to wear pants and sneakers instead of skirts and heels. When I was in primary school I would constantly get kicked out of class and sent to the principal’s office because I chose to wear the uniform’s winter pants during summer instead of skirts, couldn’t wear the boy’s shorts. Because me following the rules but refusing to wear a skirt was more important than me getting an education. “What will you do when you get a job?”, “nobody will want to hire you with that attitude”… Men don’t realize how much women’s bodies are controlled from the moment we’re born. It’s gotten better in the last years but shit like that still happens more than yall realize.






  • idk you seem more desperate than me following these made up rules that aren’t part of either community tbh

    This is not my “one opportunity” on this platform, you joined one month ago and I’ve been here for more than a year, also have a hundred more “reputation points”, comments, and posts than you. So I’m not sure where you’re getting my “lack of engagement” from. I ask again, maybe reconsider what’s actually got you in such a mood and stop policing me? Maybe you read what I said but it does no good if there’s no reading comprehension.

    Also lmao at “cynical paywalled lesson”, if you go to my website you’ll see I also have plenty of free educational content that goes back years. My blender course was actually started from a blog post I made in 2021, here sugar-cup, made it easy for ya to find.


  • @[email protected] Wrong again. First: I’m not desperate… When I was teaching those classes through the school a couple months ago they’d get booked full to the point I had to ask the school to give me less students because it was too many per group. Also I’m literally just starting out. This is my first day advertising my classes, you’d know that if you bothered reading the first sentence…

    Second: Two posts do not make spam, especially if they’re in different communities aimed at different audiences. Blender is not just for game development, I mention that on the first paragraph of my page.

    If you wanna continue being a hater go ahead, give me more engagement on the post 😁
