I want to say, your question isn't dumb at all. As someone that used to do it and still have thoughts on occasion, I'm glad to know I'm not alone that does it.

!mentalhealth@lemmy.world is much more active and as long as you marked your post NSFW and added Self-Harm trigger warning on your post title, they will allow it and hopely you will get some help.

I know. It's why I said "Well-known instances" when talking about PeerTube as those instances tend to haves rules against it and take it very seriously.

[–] MonsterTrick@piefed.world 2 points 13 hours ago

It means someone replies or quote post has more likes than OP's post.

I disagree about using Odysee, it's has far-right videos on there. Much prefer people to use PeerTube where the well-known instances at least won't allow those sort of video in the first place.

I vaguely remember trying to run Doom and had a laugh the fact that it can even run that game. Love Doom

 

I brought an MP3 Player like an year ago as:

  • to conserve battery life on my phone
  • Google Pixel didn't have MircoSD slot or headphone jack without use of headphone USB-C dongle

So I look around for any good second-hand MP3 players which I did look at the iPods because of DankPod's video which he often mods the iPod. I did tried to mod it but it was annoying to do and I have ended up damaging it which is easy to do when you are trying to mod the iPod to use an SD-Card adapter instead of the hard drive which no longer works. Instead of doing a second try and buying another iPod which can cost around £30-60 depending on the model in question, I just brought a SanDisk's Sansa Clip Zip which has MircoSD slot and also can have Rockbox flashed. I mainly have Rockbox just for the themes and last.fm Scrobble plugin. It's bit clunky the menus but you do get used to it and it has a lot of options in the settings which I recommend reading the manuals on their website about it.

My experience with it is that I used my phone less for listening to music has I have more storage for my .flac music library. It hasn't replaced any of the music streaming services for me as I used two of them for different purposes. For my MP3 Player, it's music I already owned and at least liked the song so I got an album if I have already got it and streaming services to discover music I hadn't listen to or got just yet.

I'm one of those people that love toying around with stuff I hadn't tried and I had heard about PieFed. So I looked at any instance I can create an account and give it a try.

One of the things I love about Fediverse is that there be a new projects which makes me curious to see what it's like using it like PixelFed, Misskey (and the many forks), Lemmy and PixelFed.

If they do, it would be great. I love the customisation of Playnite for game details as well as the plugins.

Yep and also married to a paedophile.

My major issue in general is how much trust people would have for AI and blindnessly follow them without much doubt if whatever they are saying is true. Computers are stupid, they will make mistake which often cause by coders making one in the code.

 

For contexts, I have sensory issues with foods where I find it difficult to encourage myself eating as much of the variety. My diet isn't exactly healthy and it tends to be processed food I eat which is often my 'Safe Food' as it doesn't have a terrible taste and textures for me. Not the best but it's okay-ish where I at least I have ate something rather than have nothing at all.

I want to try break that habit so I can try to be healthier as well as not worried about eating food with other people beside my family. Hoping it means I will reduce spending money on takeaways as it does eats my money as well.

I don't like Generated AI in general so it's a no. Personally, I much prefer interacting with humans as their much more interesting and are a individual. AI can never, all it can do is try to emulate what they think we act and be a Yes-man.

[–] MonsterTrick@piefed.world 15 points 5 days ago

I don't think the people who are able to be convinced to kill themselves by an AI chatbot are the best kind of people to carry on the future of the human race.

That's cold. One thing I do want to say is that (which is often more at online spaces) that people suggest using ChatGPT as a therapist which is both concerning and wreckless. As well as if ChatGPT have implement some form of safeguarding, I think ChatGPT could of prevented many suicides but they don't care. It's easy to plan to take your life if you have someone encourage it and you already at a worse headspace.

So I don't blame the victims for using it and feeling like it had helped them despite it did the total opposite.

I feel seen and I hate that I developed major social anxiety when I was a teenager.

 

I tried to watched the video last night but it was very hard-hitting as someone with depression and who's occasionally suicidal, I had to stop around 10 minutes as it was getting too much that ChatGPT kept encouraging people to be self-destructive.

Threadverse community for GenZ where we talk about our nostalgia and anything related to our generation. It's an alternative to r/GenZ which:

  1. It's on Reddit
  2. The subreddit in question is badly moderated and full of bigots and assholes

So instead of me trying to tolerate it, I will try "be the change that I want to see" and try run the community that's both friendly and also is on a decentralised network to avoid any Enshittification.

I have only just made the community today and these are the rules. Any feedback is welcome as long as it is constructive.
