The amount of times I've been online and misdiagnosed myself, man I don't even know. Worst case was I convinced myself I had afib. Knew it, from all of my reading and everything I had all the symptoms.
Except I didn't have them, because since I've never experienced the symptoms I thought I had the symptoms, but I did not.
The knowledge isn't "gatekept", it's not something they hide away in a chest. It takes 10 years of medical school and several more after that of on the job training just to be a junior doctor. Talk about minimizing how complex the human body and all possible ailments are. We go to doctors not for the 15 minutes in the exam room with them, but because of the decades of knowledge they learned so we didn't have to.
Yeah we don't have the post counts to ignore one just because it got down voted once ! There are many posts that come back from the dead.
And I say this to everyone, you're already doing it'd be the change you want to see. If there's a niche community with no posts, start posting. People will gather to it.
Welcome back! Depends on what you like, there's a good chunk of communities now. Just make sure to keep expectations in check, we're not Reddit, a good community here has a couple of posts a day and dozens, not thousands of comments. Your post here I'd say is doing pretty well.
We're still growing, slowly, but you're proof that people are growing tired of corporate social media.
I gave myself the 2 week rule with my own hypochondria and anxiety. If something lasts for more than 2 weeks, it's officially time to get over myself and go talk to someone. If I get a random ache I can never tell is this me getting older, or is this something serious. Very unlikely 2 weeks will be enough to kill me, so I make a mental note of when I started feeling a certain way. If it's happening after 2 weeks, it's usually time to see a doctor. Most things go away and I completely forget about. The other ones the doctor usually agrees in it was time for me to come in. Last one was simple heart burn, but it lasted so long, they told me it was good to come in, put me on some simple stuff, it was gone relatively quickly.
As my favorite doctor sang, "It's best to know the truth, for that I have no doubt"
Going to the internet is great for the best over the counter itch ointment, or all natural throat lozenges, but a persistent cough? That's for sure 100% doctor territory. That's not looking for cures or advice, that requires a diagnosis, which is scary, but what is more scary is not knowing. The saying is true, knowing is half the battle. Plus the longer it goes undiagnosed the worse it gets.
@OP, call your doctor, if you don't have one just call a nearby clinic and tell them you're a new patient. (You can either ask them or check with your insurance to see if they're in-network). I deal with a lot of anxiety too, but part of life is learning how to live with it. Either by facing your fears or by talking to a professional, of which I've done both. A year ago I barely could get out of bed due to crippling anxiety and depression. I got up, I got help, and now I'm much much better. A disease won't care how anxious you are, go see a doctor.
Choose a license is great, they did an amazing job. I'm personally a fan of gpl. Sorry Amazon/Microsoft/corpo world. If you want to use my stuff great, but then you have to share your stuff too.
Especially when posting on Lemmy, we can edit the titles people. Don't just copy the clickbait title. Folks here on Lemmy loathe clickbait and I see more things get downvoted to hell because of a lame title.
It's only a bandaid over a gaping wound, but check out Fakespot, an extension for Firefox and Chrome. It won't help with google play, but when browsing Amazon, BestBuy, or other retailers they use machine learning to detect duplicate/repetitive reviews, and go into reviewers' history to determine if they are trustworthy.
I've seen a lot of "5 star products" get an adjusted rating of <2 because of this extension.
Clickbait with the BioShock image, it's not known yet
It doesn't, but I do think we should be happy folks are sticking around. I'm almost at one year!
God I'm so tired of corpo-speak.
Just be honest and admit you're looking to strangle it for profit
I've used those request stops! Those sort of rural lines are exactly what we're missing here in the states, just bouncing back and forth on the line. You can see here Americans don't even know what they are, but they're the perfect solution for these lines going between little towns
Depends on what you call a "whole ass train". Many of these routes could be easily service by a 1 or 2 car DMU like the rural routes in Scotland and Wales.
Great, now we can have traffic but on these old rails.
How about, and I know this is a radical idea, actually fixing up the old rail lines and putting trains on them instead of this gimmick?
Depends who you ask. Personally, I think AI is fine if used ethically, and I think that's an ethical case - as long as the voice actor is compensated for their voice.
hot take is that I think they can... if applied well. I think about some of the shopkeepers in Skyrim or the Witcher, the background NPCs that only have 1 line. Those are characters that AI could really enhance.
However, I do not think that it means executives can start firing actors right and left. The shopkeeper in Oxenfurt would be great with AI to help, ask it things like "What's going on in town?". Yennifer or Dandelion would not.
I'd be interested to hear how it goes, I'm looking at replacing mine. If you get yours to work, please report back. I'm actively looking for a new LTO8 drive
oh man, at least two, don't you think?
In my experience? Minimal. Although when you buy a single drive for over $1k you're also not super into cracking it open and repairing things. From what I can tell, it's like a blu-ray drive, but more complex, and more delicate. Not to mention since it's tape you technically need a clean room, because dust can fuck up the heads.
If I could source decent drives for less than 10 grand I'd be a huge supporter of it, but us pro-sumers are pretty much left with ebay.
I used an LSI 8i SAS card, with a standard SAS cable to my internal SAS tape drive. Then I just used plain ubuntu to get it up and running. The LSI cards are my go-to for anything SAS, used them for 10 years and never had a single one fail.
Edit @constantokra@lemmy.one I remembered I had this saved, this saved me a ton of time setting up my drive last time, everything I needed: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/lto-tape-drive-linux-experience-4175620090/
Interesting problem here. So I self host jellyfin, happy to share my (owned) movies with my family. Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing.
However, what I didn't bet on was the amount of garbage, terrible movies she would give me. There's a few that are fine, but the vast majority are, well I'll just put it bluntly, christian propaganda. I don't think any of them are as terrible as some of the worst case, but think "My life was horrible until I found god now look and see how fulfilled I am" type propaganda - and they make for horrible plots. Left Behind with Kirk Cameron is a good example. Even removing the blatent boring christian plots - it's just a horribly made movie. Cheap, not thought out well, and honestly I read the book decades ago, it's a horrible adaptation too.
Not that I keep only top tier movies in my libraries, but these are, well they just bring a pit to my stomach.
What would you do in my situation? (And I'm going to go ahead and say the pure atheist comments aren't needed, yes of course I could burn them, or dance around them, but I'm not looking to just burn the bridge between my mother and myself over a lifetime of her indoctrination and bad taste in movies). I'm more looking for generic, how do you handle your users asking you to put content you don't find appealing on your server?
Hey folks, I've been training Loras now for a while, and have some scripts I really like that I've been working with. However, I realized I haven't been keeping up lately, so, is SDXL still the best for Loras? And by that I mean before with 1.5 and standard SDXL is the most accurate quality I've received.
My Loras seem to work fine with Lightning and Turbo models, but is there anything else I should look into? Any major things that you've changed in the last 6 months to your trainings? Is sdxl_base the best basemodel to train off of?

I've followed Cara Nicole for a while now, she does a great job at explaining finance in easy and non-judgemental ways.
This episode came out yesterday, and it highlights everything about what I've disliked about Taylor's latest rollouts, and how our fandom loses such large amounts of money.
And hey, I'm guilty of it myself, I won 4 copies of Midnights - but TPD I only have 1 coming.
Don't worry she's not hating on Taylor, but she does bring up a lot of very good points.
“Get it the **** off my system” and “in the trash where it belongs” were common refrains as users voiced their displeasure at having Copilot forced upon them. Numerous reports emerged of people imm…

One of my favorites, just remembered it, and this article is from the AU's perspective.
I like that they have to explain it to Aussies because they don't understand why there would be a need for massive parking lots.
> Not all US cities have reliable or widespread public transport networks, so it's likely that a similar number of Americans drive to and from concerts. As such, most stadiums in the US are surrounded by vast parking lots to accommodate all the vehicles - but not in Australia.

The #FundieSnark movement battles to "deconstruct" those picture-perfect images of Christian social media
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.one/post/11673394
> Every movement to oppose Christianity had its place. In the 80s they called themselves Satanists, even though they didn't believe in a literal Satan. In the 2000s we saw the introduction of "militant" atheism, externally dubbed the "new atheists." Now we have a new generation of ex-Christians who can speak to conservative Christian beliefs because they were able to get out. And they can remind everyone that it wasn't easy. > > I am still a "militant atheist" in that I'm willing to speak my mind. I don't bring up my atheism unless someone makes their religion my business. The same for these people.

Personally my SO and I are heading to a friends house who will be having a small party with it playing, less to watch it but more to have it on in the background, but a chance to rewear out outfits
