A little glimps how it could be…

Was this bullshit meme created by AI?

I worry! Every. Single. Day.

I worry about my social media addiction, about the fact that I’ve read once books like a maniac, but hardly read any books at all now. I worry about Fake News and racists on the internet and about ignorance on the streets and fascists in the government. I worry about hot summers and warm winters. I worry about the future of my young nephews. I’m worried about war. I’m worried for the world and thus for the whole of humanity.

I’m fine! My life is good. I don’t have panic attacks. But there is always this slight worry in my mind and if I think about it, it gets bigger.

Others recommend a social media detox. That’s a start. Chill a bit. Relax. Enjoy the spring. Maybe learn a new thing, get a new hobby, like cycling or cooking. And then maybe, start doing something about the things you can change. I’ve learned a new phrase this week, it’s „productive restlessness“. You can’t do anything about world war 3, but maybe you can change other things.

And please, don’t allow others to take advantage over you, using your fear. Don’t buy a nuclear bunker for your garden if you can’t afford it, please don’t start believing in crazy conspiracy myths and tell the tankies to go to hell, when they try to tell you that you should vote for trump if you want peace.

A fellow worrier.

I do it. Tastes great! I also add a bit of milk and others use a bit of fish sauce as a secret ingredient.

By the way, there is a !thinkpad@lemmy.ml community. Feel free to post there, we need content here on Lemmy. ;)

Got this mail too, a few weeks ago. I used this opportunity to delete my long dormant twitter account for good.

I love it here on lemmy and it looks like the recent federation problems have been resolved.

So I‘m looking forward to lurk less and interact more in future.

Let us all build a better Reddit!

That’s actually fitting, because linux is all about choice, freedom and individuality. I like it.

Nothing against this, it takes all sorts and stuff you know.

But in my day Linux users were either smug greybeards or nerds with glasses thick like the undersides of bottles.

But you do you, internet! Ä

They explain this in in an episode of Graham Cluley‘s excellent podcast „Smashing Security“. I think in the episode from October 26th.

Yeah, the Fediverse is awesome!

Don’t forget, you can follow hashtags too! So if you want to see toots (posts) regarding a topic that interests you, just follow a hashtag like #ukrainewar, or #linux for example. That’s also a good way to to find people to follow.
