I’ve heard the phenomenon you’re describing as the “lava layers”.

That’s why I’m rooting for Ladybird.
Skipping React hydration… so, only rendering on the server? BBC just re-invented server-side rendering, bravo 👏😆
I say this as an 8-year React developer. Damn, our industry really drank the kool-aid on on this one. Of course, plenty of people have been saying that React for static content like this has always been a misapplication of the tool, I’ve been reading opinions like that the entire time I’ve been working with it.
I’m glad BBC is doing this, though. Legitimate kudos to them for recognizing the issue and working towards fixing it. I actually think there are some great benefits that React has given us:
I would be happy if React was supplanted in the near future, but I also have some fondness for it. I know I’m way off topic on this post, just felt like talking about React.
Tracking scripts degrade gracefully, so you can disable JS, and the page should still work just fine.
I had a course in college that used this book, and I’d definitely recommend it.
I was in New Delhi when the AQI was ~700, that is MUCH worse than visual pollution. My lungs started hurting within 20 minutes of being outside, and a huge amount of people on the domestic flight I was on (mostly local residents) had coughs.
I really like this answer. A show doesn’t have to explicitly focus on mental health to be a show that promotes mental wellness.
Others have great suggestions, but I’ll take a different approach with some practical advice that came to mind. These are just ideas, so feel free to workshop it or to dismiss it entirely.
Advocating for yourself in person can be really difficult. I’m quite a people pleaser, so I know how it feels to go into a situation with an idea of what you want to say and leave feeling disappointed that you didn’t stick up for yourself. You seem like you’re fighting an uphill battle with your age and the doctors’ previous responses.
I think you’re a pretty decent writer. I really felt for you as I read this post, and I can tell that you’ve struggled. The doctor that you want treating you will be someone who is moved in the same way and will care about you enough to get to the bottom of this.
I think you should change the main text of this post into an email template that you can address to different doctors. Maybe add a blurb about only wanting to be their patient if they’re willing to treat the things you say with trust and validity. Then, start sending it to doctors/neurologists around you. If those don’t get a response, then expand your range. You might have to travel or make some life changes to get the treatment you need.
Hopefully you’ll get some responses. From those responses, you could gauge how you feel about each doctor. For the ones that seem like they genuinely want to help, you can visit their office and get an appointment. Don’t treat going to an appointment as a commitment. You’re shopping around to get the best treatment for yourself.
Hopefully yet again, you’ll find a doctor that feels like they’ve got your back and is willing to take you on as a patient because they really care about you, not because you’re just another “customer” of the healthcare business.
Ask for help even though it might be scary. You’ve already done that here with this post, and I of course don’t know whether you’ve done it elsewhere. If you haven’t done it on more personal forms of social media like Facebook or Instagram, then try there. People are usually more motivated to help if it’s someone they know that is suffering. Even if you haven’t talked to most of the people on there in many years, people will still read it, and some of those people might know something that could help you.
Depending on how comfortable you feel on those platforms, you can reach out in a vulnerable way like this post or you can keep it more practical by just asking for doctor suggestions. Also, if you want to hide the post from certain people (maybe your parents), you can do that pretty easily on Facebook with the “post audience” option.
I hate that you’ve gone through all this suffering, and it should NOT be this difficult to find a good doctor. The system here in the US is really horrible to navigate and inhumane. I’m sure doing all of this would be exhausting, but if it gets you what you need, then I think it’s worth it.
While I agree that a lot of the hype around AI goes overboard, you should probably read this recent paper about AI classification: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.02462
Systems like DeepMind are narrow AI, whereas LLMs are general AI.
I just read through all the top-level replies to this post, and you’re the only one that actually understands this change. They didn’t just change the icon, they added new functionality.
Your description isn’t quite complete, though. Pressing it once adds to the playlist you most recently added to. Basically, it remembers which playlist you last added a song to, so if you’re listening to a radio station that matches one of your playlists vibes, it makes it really easy to add the songs as they play.
This new functionality perfectly matches my “flow” of music collection, since I add to separate playlists instead of to Liked. This feature changes nothing if you only ever add to Liked.
So basically, everyone in this post is complaining about a feature Spotify added that genuinely enhances my experience and is only a minor visual change for everyone else.
I loved the post, and I love your snarky response. I feel like this is exactly the level of insight a showerthought should have.
This is peak showerthoughts content.
It weakens it a bit, but in my opinion it still has strength where it counts. If an attacker gets access to your password outside your password manager (man-in-the-middle, keylogger, phishing), then you’re still protected. Maybe it’s hubris in my own ability to keep my password manager safe, but I’ve never been worried about storing MFA in my password manager.
There’s nothing more open source than Git. It’s open source software created to support the development of open source software. I’d bet that the vast majority of projects named in this thread are developed using Git.
Also, that’s a really cool project!
These are both really great, but I definitely prefer the 2nd. The 1st has a shape that evokes the “navigation pointer” seen in map apps, and I think that association pollutes what would otherwise be a great icon.
The 2nd doesn’t have that shape and therefore that association, the “V” is very clear yet stylized as an object entering the atmosphere. I love it!
Looking at your posts, it seems like you’re really into ecology/farming/wildlife. I think Lemmy is currently seeing the biggest growth with its tech and tech-adjacent communities. Whether it’s because it’s a little more complex to use or because that’s just the demographic that knows about it more, I can’t say for sure.
It reminds me of the earlier days of Reddit (which I didn’t even participate in), when it was almost solely a programming/tech community. As it grew in users, so did the variety of communities. I think Lemmy is going to be similar.
I applaud you for building up the communities you’re a part of. I hope that you can look back in a few years and realize that you sowed the seeds for something that grew much bigger.
MY PEOPLE! I’m so used to the CMD key that I made this shitty AutoHotkey script that makes things mostly work the same in Windows. It’s glitchy and imperfect, but it’s better than changing my muscle memory.
If anyone has any recommendations to improve the situation (besides recommending that I switch OSes), then I’m all ears.
