  • I love your comics. Always the perfect balance of cute and LOL. I follow you on IG too but the algorithm doesn't show me your stuff. But keep going!

  • Best ways to make mainline browsers private?

    Jump

  • To all: Yeah, I realize that I can't have 100% privacy and still use a mainline browser, really. I know that in those, there will always be something under the hood that is tracking me. I'm just trying to find a happy medium of being able to pay my gas bill, or order groceries without broke ass websites and not giving my fingerprints and facemap away. (I'm exaggerating, but only a little...)

  • Everytime I see this comic I wonder if it's AI generated because it just doesn't make much sense.

  • Hate Samsung's Voicemail app. What's a good android voicemail?

  • I ended up going with YouMail again - used them years ago and after some research there's no huge glaring privacy issues.

  • I used YouMail years ago. I'm not keen on paying for a full service just to fix my voicemail problems, but I will look at it again. Thank you for the tip.

  • Ahh so much of that nowadays. Probably AI written too, ironically.

    Jump

  • THIS! This would be the most healthy and constructive way about addressing this if a simple conversation is not possible.

  • My want to retake my meds but my wife doesn't want me to. Any advice?

    Jump

  • Oh yes. I don't mean to imply that society can be turned off like a switch. I just wanted to share that looking at myself through that lens has helped me, and also to start pushing a back, or at least shielding myself, against the attitudes around me -- which I believe is the first step in changing society. I fully realize many people are not in a place that will allow this right now, but I hope by sharing this experience, it can help make change. I believe in medication as a vital bridge to health and happiness but regardless of the context, is often just a bandaid solution.

    I think the bigger concern here is the wife's behavior and language and it's not at all helpful. I believe it is close to abusive if one is going to threaten's another's autonomy. If she has valid complaints about his behavior or the side effects he experiences while on the meds, that's a discussion to have.

  • My want to retake my meds but my wife doesn't want me to. Any advice?

    Jump

  • Two points I hope help you:

    My personal belief is not the same as your wife but similar: As a long time ADHD adult, I've come to believe ADHD is a societal problem not a mental illness. It is a version of humaness. This is my experience and I don't expect others to accept it. But, there is a psychological concept that if you remove societal pressure to "be" a certain way, and you are allowed to be you and the suffering is alleviated, its not mental illness.

    That being said, you are a grown adult who is allowed to decide what you need. Your wife is being borderline abusive if she is using those actual words and threatening consequences. If you believe this is your best option, put your foot down, thank her for her opinion and say you're doing what's best for you and ultimately it is your own choice. Be prepared to be met with threatened consequences if that's a thing, and try to have the courage to say something like "Threatening me is not acceptable, and I'd like you to work on that issue. If you are unwilling to try and see things differently and this is not something you can live with, let's talk in a healthy way."

    Another small note: I wouldn't even bring up that you're trying to improve her life. You have the right to improve your own life and experience and that's enough. Including her in that opens the door for her to say "I don't want you to do that for me." which is not relevant in this case as long as there has been no history of side effects of the meds causing problems for those around you.

  • I'm guessing that because both ISPs are reporting it at the same time, this must be on dnsforge's end or at least some network problem between my locale and germany, yeah?

  • Login screen not customized after changing settings?

  • Ahh thank you. Was a matter of bad UI. There's a tiny button in the top right corner to modify the appearance instead of loading the options on the massive blank screen. My screen is big and this was maximized so even was less noticable when I was looking before :) Anyway, thanks!

  • Besides all the obvious problems with this, the biggest one I see coming that I don't see many people talking about is how Amazon will inevitably use this to put others out of business if they don't cooperate with Amazon. They've already done this hardball game with sellers voer the last decade that if you don't sell on Amazon for an unsustainable low price + pay Amazon fees you'll find yourself losing business to Amazon's stolen copies of your products under the "Amazon Basics" brands. Well proven they do this, and I can see that if you find yourself scraped by this new AI program and you fight it, you're going to be getting a visit from the Amazon Mafia.
