Drynyn People joke how we made AI to write and draw and do fun creative human stuff instead of fixing toilets. Turns out the areas where ai is actually valuable is fixing those toilets, not replacing...People joke how we made AI to write and draw and do fun creative human stuff instead of fixing toilets.

Comment on Proposal: ADHD support thread (reoccurring) in ~health.mental
Drynyn We should support each other in our successes as well as failures. And when I am going through a hard time, seeing others doing well makes me feel so much better, so it supports me as well.We should support each other in our successes as well as failures.

Drynyn I find it wild that someone would have a negative reaction to the word fortnight. I've used it all my life in multiple countries and never had some even comment on it.I find it wild that someone would have a negative reaction to the word fortnight.

Most don't want to have to learn Latin or paleontology to get a joke. Most don't want to have to take time and effort to figure out how mastodon works.
Fine for me, I don't need a ton of people on my social media ( hence why I'm here) but I'm wonder if it'll ever reach critical mass with its barriers to entry.

Comment on Buying a game from a director that you really have problems with (Kingdom Come) in ~games
Drynyn To me, there's a wealth of content out there, games especially. I could probably never buy a new game and die before I work through my steam backlist. So while there may be some FOMO, I don't mind...To me, there's a wealth of content out there, games especially. I could probably never buy a new game and die before I work through my steam backlist.
So while there may be some FOMO, I don't mind avoiding a game, or at least grab it for a fiver a few years from now.

Comment on There is no safe word: How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades in ~books
Drynyn I think the issue is that it is noise, not signal, which this place is adverse to. (It's why we have the noise labels). If you had added the link and some commentary relevant to the discussion...I think the issue is that it is noise, not signal, which this place is adverse to. (It's why we have the noise labels).
If you had added the link and some commentary relevant to the discussion then it would have been ok.

Comment on You make friends *HERE*?! in ~tildes
Drynyn I'd recommend session based multiplayer games instead as it's easier to control how long you play for. Like ATM I am playing phasmaphobia - decent people mostly, quick games.

Comment on ADHD and TODO lists in ~health.mental
Drynyn I typically just make a to-do list with the Internet of finishing stuff on it within the week. Generally just pick a couple of things a day, honestly what I know I can manage.

Anything more after that is a nice bonus. Doesn't always happen ofc.
I find using this https://goblin.tools/ can help break down some barriers.

Comment on What moderate countries are left to emigrate to? in ~travel
Drynyn As an immigrant to Scotland I find that the weather is not as bad as the Scottish like to make out. What was a bigger impact was the lack of daylight in the winter months.As an immigrant to Scotland I find that the weather is not as bad as the Scottish like to make out.

Drynyn I just love it how Art doesnt have some tragic backstory like some slasher villains. They are just out for a good time.

Comment on How do you listen to your favorite obscure music that never made it onto any streaming platforms? in ~music
Drynyn Google music gives you some storage to upload music to your personal library. Only you can access it but it syncs across devices etc. https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/answer/9716522?hl=en...Google music gives you some storage to upload music to your personal library.

Edit: just FYI, if you want to move fully from Spotify to Google music for this (or between any music streaming service) you can use services like tunemymusic to transfer over playlists etc.
What I like about TIDAL, is that it does this automatically when you share. The share link takes you to a little link tree thing.
