Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by how the world is going this year? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Of course we are all individually somewhere on a continuum of capacity. But I think that the overall system in which we live accounts for much of what you describe (see: messaging in our entertainment, commercials, social media, how they shape people). And also, perhaps that a kind environment like these people had is not a sufficient condition for pro social behavior, if it doesn't teach them perspective building for instance; or exposure to, and legitimization of, alternate lifestyles and realities.

idk. All this coexists with the inherent flaws of the human organism. Selfishness is one of our qualities. It's biologically built it in. Ideally our environment nurtures the executive functions to override and temper it. But, again, a capacity being there is not a sufficient condition for it to emerge

I think the capacity is there to function at a higher, pro-social level; but it is severely compromised by societal systems that at some point were shaped by scarcity and real world dangers but have just become obsolete and out of control. We're living a traumatic legacy that we can't shake and just keep dumping on successive generations

What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have? in c/[email protected]

Hm. Cop uniforms. I ~~accurately appraise~~ judge them to likely be problematic in all kinds of ways that might threaten my safety and certainly that of others

Didn't come up in a search of the fdroid app

Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? in c/[email protected]

Yup. I find written fluff faster to run through than video fluff

Yeah I've not personally used anything but steel and cast iron for years now

Do you wish a Happy Mother's Day to your friends who are mothers or just to those in your own family? (fedia.io)
 

And what's a good friendly message or meme to send just to say I think they're great at being mothers?

I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? (fedia.io)
 

I'm looking to cart products around to sell on foot.

Basically I want a box on wheels with bars in the front that I can lift and then walk forward. Similar to the idea of a rickshaw, but instead of seats for people, a container that can hold ~200lbs of weight. Or the type of thing you'd connect to a bike, except I want to just pull it on foot. The added element is that I want to be collapsible or able to be dismantled when not in use. Surely this must exist but I have no idea what term to use to search for it.

"Rickshaw" mainly brings results related to pedicabs. The closest I got was "utility cart" like this for example. But the problem with these, unlike a rickshaw style design, is they don't scale well with the addition of weight where two wheels is easier than 4, depending on the surface. Also, versions that can be taken apart of collapses aren't rugged enough.

I've used a hand truck put into the flat configuration in the past. But that lacks the box component to contain the products. I can stack boxes on it, but that gets unstable. And, again, the 4 wheel flat design doesn't scale well with weight compared to the rickshaw concept.

So, yeah: what do you call that?

Just played Area 51/Maximum Force at a retro-arcade. Are light gun shooter games still a thing? Any recent versions available for PC? (fedia.io)
 

And, if they are, any recommendations for a gun controller?

If you donate to a service, do you so anonymously? (fedia.io)

Like if you want to donate to a website that maintains trackers, or files, do you take steps to make it anon, or just use paypal or whatever? If you do, how do you go about doing that?

There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation (fedia.io)
 

People who haven't really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others... I encounter lots of partial returners out there

Is there a way to crop the field of vision / frame of the webcam? (fedia.io)
 

I'm on a Legion Lenovo Slim 5. The webcam shows too much area around me during video calls (the browser based teleconferencing tool that I use doesn't have settings to adjust this).

I tried the cameractrls app, but it doesn't offer any way to crop or zoom in. Any other suggestions?

Is there an e-reader that would allow you to edit an .epub file? (fedia.io)
 

Beyond just marking up an e-book, are there any devices that would also allow you to edit the file itself?
