Reality has a well known left leaning bias.

Conservatives and their politics do not have equal status. In this climate, "both sides" is toxic and suggest each is equally supported and viable. They are not. The right is an incredibly hateful minority end should be treated as such.

We should include Pixelfed here.

Why can't I be both?

You can always deny it the priviledge of giving you notifications...

I never know what I "can contribute". However I have Opinions That Must Be Heard. That's probably sufficient.

Regardless, lemmy.world rocks.

I live in a town of 4500 in the California coastal mountains. We have a library, a dispensary, a volunteer fire department, and an ambulance. We're open about diversity, and the mountain skinheads (NAZIs) are disliked and can't get a foothold. Internet connections are touchy and max out around 50mbps. The power does go out so often that most folks have backup generators. Mine will handle a two week outage.

The only thing missing is a decent night life. I may be a biker, but the local biker bar is very sketchy.

Detectors of any sort can only flag expected variations from expected norms. AIs' goals are to be undetectable with continuing improvements. Detectors help them do this by flagging failures. This is the same way antibiotic resistant bacteria evolve (well, it's similar).

Stardew Valley Expanded. A simple life with a bit of magic.

I'd like a simple life with easy questions and obvious answers.

I'd also like socializing to be that easy.

The fine article bounces back and forth between base salary and total compensation (salary + bonus + stock grants). It's hard to be certain of which they are actually using, but I work in Silicon Valley and this seems more like total comp than base pay. (Stock and bonuses can more than double total comp.)

Over a decade on Reddit makes this a multi-day slog. It looks quite useful, but I've spent the last month moving into Lemmy. I'm using the same strategy here that I used there: search for the basics, subscribe, read, and if anything interesting mentions another community, subscribe on the fly. (Of course this strategy is probably why looking at Wefwef's migration is overwhelming.)

TL;DR: ADHD makes some things a challenge.

I limit things to swapping the launcher to Lawnchair, disabling most of the Samsung apps and loading Google equivalents (including gBoard). With the exception of notifications and settings, it's a reasonable experience. Most recently I did this to a Galaxy tab S8. It's close enough to my Pixel that it's not irritating.

We've shifted the grocery past of our shopping to Thrive Market.

PayPal has this functionally though you have to carry a balance in your account to use it.

I started using Spark late last year. It's simplified my mail handling quite a bit. There's also a desktop client for Windows, Dunno about OSX and IOS.

I always ask "do you want help with that?"

If they're talking nonstop, they don't want input. If they're not, this is the question I ask. Most of the time they just want to be heard, but not always.

Home: Windows 11, work OSX. I moved my personal computer to Linux a couple years ago (I've been using Linux since the mid 90s), but game support was an issue. I'll try again soon. Windows is a necessary evil that I'd like not to be necessary.

True Stories. After 40 years I still watch it every few years to make sure it's still wierd. Excellent social commentary.

A valid point. I go to some lengths to avoid most adware.

Of my last four cars (bought over 10 years), one was from a dealer, and all were brand new. At this point, I'm very dealer adverse, and may never use one again.

I suspect it's not possible to build it. The problem isn't code, it's law. HIPAA compliance is a requirement. The patient would need to sign off on each request for information about their health, and the entities who have the information will require that approval. If there is not a system in place for them to share this information, they're not going to create it for you.

IANAL or a Medical professional. I do work for a company that's decided not to do what you are thinking about though.
