Fuck it man, indulge, it’s not the end of the world ya know?

You’re too tired to brush your teeth before bed one night you don’t stop brushing your teeth forever.

It’s okay to mess up, just get back on track the next day. It’s not all or nothing, it’s not a short-term fad die, it’s a lifestyle change, for life.

If your CICO was a line graph and yesterday was normal, today was a big spike, and tomorrow was normal, none of that shit matters when you look at the line over the length of a year of good habits.

You won’t even be able to see this one-off, single-day spike, blip, what have you. It’s a drop of water in the middle of the ocean.

Let yourself make mistakes, just acknowledge it was not the norm, and learn from it. If you bastardize failure you’re setting yourself up to fail harder due to unrealistic expectations, unsustainability, etc.

So I say fuck it. Blow your CICO up today. Just do right by yourself for the rest of the week.

When did they smear children eating lunch as welfare cheats?

They literally said they support universal lunches? Did you not read what they wrote?

If the parents are committing fraud because they make too much money to qualify for the program wouldn’t that mean if the parents were exposed then denied program benefits they would have enough money to feed their kids anyways?

I guess I don’t understand why it means kids would starve? Is the assumption the parents are evil negligible people who will refuse to feed their children if they can’t cheat the system to have their kids fed for free?

Parents who need the help still get the help and kids still eat. Parents who lied about needing the help will no longer get it and feed their kids themselves so kids still eat.

Where is starvation coming into play? And where has your foster care comment come from? I don’t understand.

NPM’s left-pad library has entered the chat

Is this a hot take? You’re absolutely correct lol.

In the summer 78F during the day but I spend most of that time in the basement because that’s where my office is and 68F at night to sleep.

During the winter 68F all day err’ day

I get these vibes when WASM introduced C# to the frontend via Blazor.

Feels wrong. Feels like it shouldn’t be possible.

But binaries on the frontend are so. cot. dayum. fast

Blazor has been my favourite framework to do my side projects in for the past couple years now.

The DNS resolution, assuming you’re just using your ISP’s DNS authority servers, is still very much known to your ISP.

They can still identify my traffic, where I’m going, what I’m browsing, etc.

With a VPN that you can trust, that emphasizes user privacy, that doesn’t store PII, that doesn’t comply with local law enforcement short of being issued a warrant, all my ISP sees is I keep routing encrypted web traffic to an IP that they can identify is a machine somewhere in the Netherlands.

And besides that they know absolutely fuck all.

Without the VPN they can identify the IPs I make https requests to belong to beehaw, belong to imgur, belong to Netflix, belong to some torrenting site, etc etc.

So fucking ecstatic to have seen that Sync for Lemmy came out today personally.

Paid for Ultra immediately without a second thought even if the app is early days I know it’s a worthwhile investment to keep ljdawson paid and caffeinated lol

I wrote like… 4 sentences and got approved lol.

Nah Genie done did him dirty. If anything that one should be on the house and mans still has 3 wishes left 😤

I tried transforming the word Lemmy in the same way as demonyms for countries ending in Y just to see how it’d shake out.

Anything calling to anyone? 😅

Germany -> Germans -> Lemmans

Para/Uruguay -> Para/Uruguayans -> Lemmyans

Muscovy -> Muscovites -> Lemmites

Hungary -> Hungarians -> Lemmians

Norway -> Norwegians -> Lemmegians?

Turkey -> Turks? -> Lemms?

Plex and a web app I wrote for a Twitch community I moderate.

Plex is on a server in the Netherlands and the web app is just AWS. I would’ve hosted on some spare hardware but my internet is notoriously trash and I didn’t want to risk it going down while people are playing in the app.

Plex I might move onto a NAS at some point but I’m just too lazy lol.

Friend of mine who has had a kid explained this to me for anyone else who’s kidless like myself.

I guess the development rate of kids is sorta all over the place and various facets of development are benchmarked at certain months not years.

So parents speaking to other parents this probably makes total sense and they know developmentally where the kid is based on months.

For us non-parents, well, thank God our phones got calculators eh?

I can’t really relate myself but good luck on your journey!!

Where did you get that mouse mat?? I have a mighty need!
