Boost for reddit has now truly 100% died. Hello Lemmy!
  • It's different for everyone, but for me it was just doom scrolling and not so much engaging with specific communites, so actually there really wasn't a need to replace anything. I just don't do it anymore and have more time for my hobbies now.

  • Star Citizen Pushes Through the $700 Million Raised Mark and No, There Still Isn’t a Release Date
  • I don't have a horse in this race, but it's the perfect counterpart to companies like EA Games where unfinished games come out because developers had to meet an arbitrary deadline. Star Citizen is right at the other end of the spectrum and you see what happens when there are no deadlines and the product is never finished. I would love to play it, but my backlog is so big that I can afford to be a patient gamer. I have about 35 years until I retire and if version 1.0 is out by then I'll be happy to take another look.

  • A cool guide for Signs of ADHD that were Missed in our Childhood
  • I have ADHD and don't know if I am smart, I am just really good at the stuff that interests me and struggle really hard with everything else. Fortunately my jobs interests me and I now know how to get into the flow. But other stuff like paper work is still incredibly hard for me. Now that I have it more or less under control I would not want to change, as I love the occasional fixation on new ideas in and outside of work.

    For example on the one hand I did a PhD in my field of interest and it went really smooth, but on the other hand I struggle to brush my teeth every day....

  • Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
  • Not OP, but I copy my reply from the last time someone asked an opinion on kagi:

    I use it, but to be honest I did not do a comprehensive comparison. I like it mostly for the fine grained website control. For work and some personal stuff I often look for code and can push websites like GitHub to appear more often. Or I can block Pinterest in my search results. I tried to do this in SearXNG, but this was too much of a hassle so in a way I pay kagi for convenience. I recently got a new job and will evaluate in the coming months if it is still worth the money, but right now I am satisfied. Nobody else I know would pay for a search engine, so I can understand the stance, but I am really fed up with all the advertising and enshitification so I thought why not give it a try. And yes, because it was recommended here.

  • Looking for emotional support: I lost all my WhatsApp chats
  • I don't know if this is country specific, but I can just download all my chats as .txt files and do so regularly, as I don't trust Meta not to delete anything and only keeping the last x years or something like that.

  • Instagram and Facebook under EU investigation for causing child addiction and harm
  • I have often thought about how I will do this with my child. Fortunately, I still have some time before this becomes relevant, but in the end it's like politics, isn't it? It's always about the tug of war between safety and freedom. As a father, I naturally pull in the direction of safety, but how hard can I pull? I don't know if I'm too naive, but maybe I can achieve a better result with education than with bans? If I ban something, my children should understand why there is a ban or restriction. I would also be prepared to engage in a discussion because I naturally think differently to my child. I hope that I will do everything right, I hated it as a child when there were bans without justification.

  • The cost-of-living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming homeless
  • No, here in Germany the state pays your rent and gives you a monthly allowance (Bürgergeld) after you are out of job for more than a year so you don't end up homeless (in the first year you get 65% of your average monthly salary from the 12 months before that per month). We also have homeless people, but in principle everyone is entitled to it.
