I think it will become easier and easier to generate content tailored to individuals and all that noise will make it harder for human created content to pierce through, until it becomes too impractical to create and distribute content. Then it will take some kind of quiet revolution where everyone starts rejecting all forms of technology as overstimulating, and move towards simple communication devices to try and connect with each other.
That’s fair, it was based on a similar browser called Arc that had ambitions to reinvent browsing. That one was chromium based though and maintenance stopped when they wanted to create another AI powered browser. Then the Zen people recreated Arc as an open source browser based on Firefox. I was already used to Arc so Zen was familiar.
I think there are a lot of benefits to the way the UI is laid out, give it a try you without changing any defaults for a week or so, you might get hooked.
What is your issue with multi monitor setups? On my Mac and Linux machines I have no issues
It has a strong focus on workflow improvements. I love the way it handles pinned tabs where third party links open as a modal and you can reset the tab with a middle click. It also has very good workspace management and useful keybinds.
Please try Zen browser. I can’t go back to any other browser since I switched
Hey, a fellow Protomen fan! There’s literally dozens of us
Maybe I’m misunderstanding then.
My interpretation of the comic is that the woman’s first instinct was to feign interest to prevent any toxic behavior being directed to her. Then the man told her to disregard that and simply reject him which she does, then her instinct is proven right.
That to me signifies that she did not feel safe to reject him.
The way I understood your argument is that this fear of rejecting a man from panel 1, or assuming a bad reaction is “sexist” because “Men are not a monolith”. I’m not sure this is appropriate to the point the comic is trying to make.
If you think that the appropriate answer to “women feel scared to reject men because of common toxic behavior” is “but its not all men”… I’m sorry to call you out but you’re part of the problem.
Instead of being defensive, try to see it from their point of view and accept that something is messed up where a lot of men are like this. And I don’t agree that women that are rejected react like this. Quite the opposite actually.
It’s an undeniable reality that women get unsolicited advances from men multiple times a day, whereas the opposite is not true.
I understand your point, but it does not matter whether men are panel 1 or 3, when the interaction is short you can’t tell which reaction it will be. The problem is that panel 3 men exist at all, and that society normalizes it to be like that. “Men will be men” and all that is the problem. I totally get why women would be guarded because of it. Our job as men is to point out toxic behavior when it happens. That’s it.
I think you put your finger on exactly what his happening here. Justify the lack of subscriptions to the investors by promising them revenue will go up when people start accepting the price hike and subs go up again (which we all know will happen anyway)
The company was recently sued for creating a platform using almost exclusively child labor
The problem is while their target audience is kids, it is heavily monetized and created a market and economy around child created content. It is also impossible to moderate and became a cesspool of predators.
The game itself is comprised of an infinite number of mini games you can try, most of them created by children. Some of them are of a sexual nature and not safe for kids. This makes it really easy for a predator to set up environments where they can groom children.
The players can buy robux with real money and spend this to advertise the games they create, or buy customization items or game passes. They also earn robux when people play their games to incentivize them to create more content. Because of this the company is being sued for essentially child labor, where all their profits revolve around child created games
When I was younger I would also play modded games and create content. I dont think there’s anything wrong with that. But the fact that the game monetized it to such an extent is wrong in my opinion. With the predator problem as well it makes it a really unsafe playform for children. As a parent I would never let my children play this.
It feels pretty silly to protect UI design to that extent. It’s as if I started designing a website for a client, someone passing by took a screenshot and showed someone my design. Then I sue that person for… not keeping design secrets? I dont understand how apple can prove any damages besides maybe being owed the ad money on that video. And even that is a stretch, and not worth the lawyers’ time in my opinion.
I think it’s good that you gave it a name, it’s the first step towards acknowledging that it’s not rational thought and can be ignored safely. There’s definitely nothing wrong with you in the sense that you’re not crazy, but it sounds like you might have a lot of trauma and CBT should help. But it’s a long process and sometimes its two steps forward, one step back. Just stick with it and see if it improves.
I’m not at all a professional and you don’t have to listen to my advice, but my wife has had a similar issue and she called hers a name too. It helped her a lot over the years to realize how she could turn that voice down. What really helped her though was to cut off her family, as they were the ones that gave her this voice after all. She had a lot of trauma related to family.
Hope that helps, or at least makes you feel better about it. This voice is not shameful. You’re just human and coping with life.
Nailed it
I really love the hand drawn style and the characters, but you should really try to make the text more readable. It is very hard to read unless you zoom up close with the HD on (am on mobile). Keep it up though would love to see more of this
I’ve heard smaller, older drives are actually more reliable in the long run. USB 2.0 especially because of the lower speed causes less heat
I had an issue recently where my usb drive was “disconnecting” which triggered unraid to give read errors and then panicking. I had checked though and it wasn’t being regularly read or written to but still caused my whole server to crash. Changing usb drive has since fixed it, for now 😄
I use Unraid and I’m loving it. Super stable, easy to manage, set up dockers, let’s me pool my hard drives and set up parity. Highly recommend. Only thing that I’ve had a hard time with is finding a stable flash drive - you’d be surprised how many start to fail when used 24/7
The public health system here in Canada is very broken and the politicians have been pushing to move towards a more privatized system like the US. It’s only a question of time before we get the same problems. Here in quebec my wife has had to get a private doctor because she simply couldn’t see a doctor in the public system anymore.
My advice is you’re not broken, or dysfunctional. Take the meds if they help you, and if they don’t, that’s also fine.
I took the meds and went to therapy. The meds helped but caused other undesirable side effects as well as anxiety. I tried all of them with same results. My therapy ended up focused on making me understand I’m not broken or worse than other people.
Now I’m off the meds and doing better than ever because I finally understood my forgetfulness and other adhd symptoms are only a problem to others. I’m a functional adult, remember the important things, make effort when I can and I’m allowed to make mistakes. Others need to adjust and understand more than I do.
I am not saying that I don’t care about others, or how my adhd affects them, because I do. I make so much effort to mask and to please, that it causes me pain and anxiety. I had to learn to be nicer with myself, to allow mistakes and see that others make mistakes too. Now that I have accepted that, the forgetfulness got better too, because my confidence is higher and my anxiety is almost gone.
Hope this helps
