I feel relief after pulling off my toenails, whats wrong with me?

When I pull off my toenails I feel relief. It still hurts to do but afterwards I get a sense of overwhelming calm. Ignoring the pain aspect, It’s kind of similar to the feeling of having a blocked nose become clear. Is this indicative of anything?/ does anyone else experience something similar?

Cpo ,

Provided this is not a joke, have you considered that this might be a coping mechanism? Almost the same way that people cutting themselves is a way of coping with stress or depression.

I would recommend talking to your GP or a psychologist.

He just puked over all the others…

The innocent people getting killed in attacks on churches (even Catholic ones) and refugee camps and whole suburban areas are awful.

Even if 10% actively supports Hamas (which is not the case) it does not warrant the genocidal reaction of Israel. Hamas has just given them the excuse to clear out their “problem areas” of every living spul who happens to be there.

An award winning journalist who compared this to the pogroms of ww2 is maybe not that far off.

Even ventilating an opinion about the actions of the IDF is branded as “antisemitism”.

I am not pro Hamas, but what happens over there has nothing to do with self defense.

Cpo ,

Yeah attacking refugee camps, hospitals and private residences will ensure peace for sure.

/s

The number of future terrorists will only increase in numbers because people will have destroyed homes and murdered innocent brothers and fathers to avenge.

FYI: Most people there just make due with what they have and do not even support Hamas.

Feck off with your xenophobic shit talk.

Hungary should not be in the EU. Kick them out!

The only people allowed to commit genocide is the people who were victim of genocide?

No thank you.

Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...

Cpo ,

Debian testing is insanely robust. I am currently not running it (testing) because I use it for work, but my past experience has been excellent.

Cpo ,

I am getting a bit tired of the card the Israeli government pulls.

“No you cannot commit war crimes against civilians because of WW2.”

Have been customer with hetzner for more than 10 years and they are awesome. First physical server (HDD swaps in 10 minutes!) Now on their cloud environment. It just runs and is cost effective!

You can even use terraform to describe your resources and have them created automatically, or use the API from any programming language.

Cpo ,

Man. That is a fair and well thought over response.

I appreciate this! Articles like this is what I’m on lemmy for!

Because calling your post a response would not do it justice enough. An article indeed.

♥️

This article was undoubtedly sponsored by Shell…

Ev’s get more and more range, they drive considerably better than the biggest gas guzzler and YES even if you take the lithium into account AND the production, they have considerable less emissions than the traditional car.

Now move on.

Saved 85%.

This is actually amazing. And a bad journalist.

I would not be surprised if (on a data science level) this means something about the true intentions and validity of the article.

Good bot!

Ask Lemmy: Traditional vs natural mouse scrolling; which do you use?

Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...

Yeah, they would probably let you pay a small fee per month for this feature.

I said it before, and I’ll say it again:

That guy is looking worse every month.

Does he really believe his own words?

Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?

I’m trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it’s better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that...

Cpo ,

I don’t know about the history of selfhosted, I use a vps at hetzner which serves as playground and I use a mini desktop (hp elitedesk) as my home automation lab.

This community is an inspiration on spotting new techniques and software to discover!

Fuck the human rights policy of China. Fuck the way they treat uyghurs in their labour camps. Fuck China.

Ubuntu Desktop: charting a course for the future (ubuntu.com)

Recently, we embarked on an internal exercise to consolidate and bring structure to our values and goals for how we plan to evolve the desktop experience over the next few...

This is just a sales pitch. We wants featuress in our pocketsess.

The biggest bonus to the democratic world stems from just one individual. And the rest of the world believing in his idea.

Because you can!

Been at Ubuntu for a couple of years but I was pleasantly surprised when I went back to debian. Sticking to that one like shit on shingles.

Prepare for the Nvidia card to be a pain in the ass, if so, maybe running the official driver on a LTS version of Ubuntu is the best option here.

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?

I’ve noticed in the Linux community whenever someone asks for a recommendation on a laptop that runs Linux the answer is always “Get a Thinkpad” yet Lenovo doesn’t seem to be a big Linux contributor or ally. There’s also at least six Linux/FOSS-oriented computer manufacturers now:...

Cpo , (edited )

Buying a modern cheap low end card might give you the same or better framerate thatn this legacy card.

And steer away from Nvidia.

Cpo ,

Thank you for sharing your linux journey!

I’ve been toying around with linux since the old famous slackware distro!

I have used Windows professionally, later switched to Mac, but my desktop (my main driver) has been linux for a long time.

I run it the way I am most productive with it (yes, Gnome, don’t hate me, but liked xfce before that).

I like the way everything is customizable, light weight and… free.

I like this. Someone making his own informed decisions and reaping the benefits of it!

Drive a Nissan ev myself and it has been economic (0 repair cost, just normal upkeep), fun to drive and is silent!

Aside from that I think C is more performant than C++ (indeed when you use the bells and whistles that C++ offers), you are comparing the libraries with each other.

The fact that the implementation of one random std::Sort is faster than the implementation of qsort() is comparing libraries, not the languages. You are comparing the algorithm of the Rust Sort with quicksort (which is obviously the qsort you are referring to.

I am certain there are sort implementations in C which outperform Rust.

Having said that, I immensely enjoy Rust because it forces me to think about the error handling and it does not give me the quirks of C/C++ (index out of bounds, memory corruption).

Cpo ,

while C has to fiddle with void* and function pointer to get similar flexibility, which are much harder to optimize, as none of the type information is there.

I thought we were discussing speed, not ease of use?

Cpo ,

…so now we are discussing not speed again but ease of use.

Not everything with an R in it is faster than C. Read up about it. Everyone says so.

I’m out.

Cpo ,

May I comments you both for the openness, politeness and helpfulness displayed here?

Thanks!

I also found the response informative, and thanks for making lemmy/fediverse happen!

Cpo ,

I’m on Voyager (via the app store) and it is wonderful (and free)!

I agree that some communities are quite empty, but I found that the techn savy communities are quite large and well maintained (selfhosted, linux and such).

Although the read is arguably shorter, i have more time in my day as a result of that. Not missing reddit at all ATM.

Cpo ,

Some of my favorite communities are so big, being a part of the discussion is like pissing in the wind.

I dig the analogy and had to chuckle.

Cpo ,

Exactly for that reason I have created a second account on lemm.ee.

There is even a nice Python script to propagate your subscriptions and block lists to one or more other accounts.

Find it here: github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

Cpo ,

Great alternative! Thanks!

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

Cpo ,

Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.
