TrueCrypt, my beloved. Such an amazing set of features and super easy to use. I so wish there was a modern open-source equivalent with the same intuitive approach. I especially liked the ability to do fancy stuff like disguising data with a false password or using any file as the key.


I didn’t get mine until 24. Lived in a city with public transport from 18-26.
I was late to riding a bike, too, though. I didn’t pick that up until 18.


That’s a journey the individual must take on their own. That’s the challenge of addiction. The reason people come back FB isn’t their friends and family. It’s the incredible force of dark patterns that convince them they are missing out on the world without it.
Since joining Lemmy, I haven’t felt the same pull to browse for hours on end. I usually get about 10-15 minutes in, get bored, and go do something else. Even Reddit would keep me hooked for hours.
With an algorithm purpose-built to drip-feed an endless cycle of dopamine and shock, it takes a few days or even weeks to get used to the slower cycle of information. Our brains want more information all the time, and they use this to their advantage.
On the note of trying to convince someone anyway, focus on the fact that the Fediverse does none of this and that there is no profit incentive behind the platform, meaning they have no incentive to make you feel worse in exchange for more ads.
For a direct, but still early Fediverse replacement, maybe consider Friendica.

I recently rewatched the original and had forgotten just how well they portray her evil. Even as an adult I was actively repulsed the same way I would be if I met her in real life. Classic Disney definitely had some incredible villain writing.
Maybe include it as an option?
Part of it could either be that they’re not spending the time for a home release audio mix, don’t want to for purity’s sake or I’ve seen issues with trying to condense surround soundscapes down to stereo.
It all comes down to dynamic range and they should be using all of it for theatrical release and then remastering for home release.
TV shows do not get a pass. Cinephile audio engineers that think the vast majority of their listeners will have home theater setups are just plain delusional.


I think part of this comes down to the format. Physics can often be analogized and can be very conversational when it comes to demonstrating ideas.
Most code also looks pretty similar if you don’t know how to read it and unlike language, the syntax is absolute with no room for interpretation or translation.
I’ve found it’s consistently good if you treat it like a project specification list, including all of your requirements in a list format in the very first message and have it psuedocode the draft along with list what libraries it wants to use and make sure they work how you expect.
There’s some screening that goes into utilizing it well and that only comes with already knowing roughly how to code what you’re trying to make.
This looks incredible! I’m your first Star!
