If 463 pages sold, why does your website say 0/1000 claimed? Are you lying or did you use an LLM to create a broken website?

I seriously do not understand this.
I feel like if OP were just honest about this they'd have better luck. Not good luck, but better luck.

I went to therapy once and it was awful.
I went to therapy again and it's now something I look forwards to. That first guy just sucked.

It sounds like he lacked tact and maybe is just a bad therapist tbh. I dunno, maybe he'd be good for socialite types, but I feel like a good therapist meets you where you're at. I think the first session or two should be dedicated to learning about you with minimal suggestions for change. It sounds like even you're aware that more of that type of thing might be benificial, but making changes like that take a lot of work on yourself over a signifigant length of time, and a suggestion from a therapist isn't where it needs to come from, you need to come to the conclusion yourself.
That's my take as someone who has seen only two people, the first was bad and the second has been great, she did exactly that, basically just listened and asked questions for the first couple times I saw her. Even now she doesn't really make concrete suggestions, more asks leading questions that make me think and come to conclusions on my own. Tbh sometimes I just wish she'd tell me what to do haha, but I know that'd piss me off and that isn't how it works at all.

I adore cruise control. I would literally sell that car if I had it. (or get a scan tool that can make that change permanant). What car is that?

Do Amber Alerts for Missing Kids Actually Work? | The Walrus
My main issue with Amber Alerts is that they're not mutable. If my phone is screaming at me, I'm going to hit mute before reading what's on the phone. When I hit mute, the alert is gone. It's simply nowhere to be found. I can't read it in my notifications panel. It's gone.
It needs to show up as both an alert AND a notification. It's crazy that this isn't standard (in android, at least).

I didn't mean I wanted them off, I just wanted to be able to tell my phone to stop yelling at me and still read the alert.

Some YouTube Premium subscribers complain of seeing ads
If this goes live, I'm out. YT premium is my most expensive subscription, but I watch enough YouTube that I'm OK with it, especially considering that it supports creators more than ad viewers. If I still get ads? Nah dawg. I'll divy up that money amongst patreons or whatever, and install add blockers.

Path of least resistance
I've heard a story about a college campus that didn't install any paths, waited for natural dirt paths to form in the grass, then installed paths there. Neat idea.

Probably irritated that they're in the middle lane instead of keeping right except to pass. (or left except to pass in countries that drive on the left).

Steam Controller page updated: $99 USD, releases May 4th
As someone who spent $150-$200 on the Xbox Elite controller just to get the rear paddles, $100 for this with the rear buttons and the track pads seems like no problem at all. Imo it's incredibly fairly priced as compared to the competition, considering the features and emphasis on repairability.

I still surf both. Unpopular, I know, but Lemmy does not yet have the super niche communities that barely exist on reddit.
Imo, it's about the same. Some subs have gotten worse, some have gotten better, but that's how it's always been.

Linus (LTT) argues that despite middling gaming performance, the Steam Machine excels as a compact desktop workstation thanks to the seamless and user-friendly experience provided by SteamOS.
Any new computer for $1000 bucks is going to have middling performance these days, I don't think Linus was arguing against that. He just appreciated the curated experience and whatnot. I'd argue that I've had a very similar experience on Kubuntu, but I will also say that the updates haven't always been as smooth as on my SteamDeck, but then again that's also true on Windows.
In the end I'm just glad that Linux is getting more attention overall. Maybe someone will see this, decide that the Steam Machine isn't the best for them, and install some other OS with KDE and have a similar experience. Whatever you think of Linus, him saying that 2026 is the year of the Linux desktop is a positive thing.

"Did you reduce the federal deficit?" the attorney asked.
"No, we didn't," Nathan Cavanaugh responded
...
“I think a person can have enough judgment from reading books and being well-informed outside of traditional experience to make judgment calls about obvious things like a grant that literally lists DEI in its description,” Nathan testified.
"What books?" the attorney asked
"There were no books,” Cavanaugh said.

If it weren't so depressing this would be some of the funniest shit I have ever seen. As it is, it's still pretty funny, seeing these clowns have to (fail to) justify their choices to real, serious people.

Niche communities that simply don't exist on Lemmy. If your only hobbies are tech, lemmy probably covers all of your bases, but there are nearly no niche non-tech communities here.
