I struggle with depression and alexithymia. How do I write with emotion?
  • My entire life is about using logic instead of emotions to make decisions. Fortunately I am slowly getting the help that I need, but for now: Using logic definitely allows me to get by in daily life, even if it would be better to be able to describe my actual emotions

  • I struggle with depression and alexithymia. How do I write with emotion?
  • I have the same combo of illnesses (though maybe less intense Alexithymia)

    A useful resource for me is an emotion wheel (you can find one with your favourite search engine)

    It has tiers to it, so you could start with happy, for example, then get more specific with the sub-categories

    You and I both know there would be great difficulty in identifying what actual emotion you feel with regards to your childhood home, even with an emotion wheel. Since you're not being judged on the accuracy on the emotions identified, you can pick a few that sounds reasonable.

    For me, your assignment would more feel like a language exercise of picking the right word that makes sense in context, rather than thinking about the actual emotions experienced. In this case, the emotion wheel would help by acting as a reference of emotions to consider, and act as a sanity check if you're writing something positive but chose an emotion that is a sub category of anger, for example

  • Study Finds More Americans Commuting To Work Splattered On Grill Of F-150
  • Raising the gas prices 10x overnight won't create those alternatives overnight, nor will it put petrol companies out of business because they pass the cost on to consumers who are mostly forced to buy gas at whatever the current price is with no other viable transportation method.

    Infrastructure takes time. Sadly the US govt isn't even at the starting line for any meaningful public transit system in most cities.

    If gas prices went up 10x overnight, some higher earners could switch to working from home (a positive result), but other industries such as retail don't really get that luxury.. Contributing to more wealth inequality

  • It's not like we'll not see it coming Once threads.net starts federating with the big instances, it's all over

    The information that can be gathered and sold is pretty intense, even when your account is on another instance

    • All your posts and comments (this is public information, no cause for alarm)
    • Everything you upvote/downvote
    • Every time you load an image from another instance (link tracking, can probably be correlated with your IP address you signed into facebook with)
    • With enough posts in your feed tracking you, a general picture of your interests and time of day you interact with lemmy will form, which can be sold
  • Is there is any open-source/ privacy focused email service that does not use end to end encryption?
  • I think you're confusing "encrypted in transit" versus "end to end encryption"

    Your email between protonmail and gmail would be encrypted between the servers, but both protonmail and gmail could read your email. OpenPGP makes it so incoming emails are encrypted with your public key, so there's an extra stage of encryption that only your email client can decipher. OpenPGP therefore has the capacity for end to end encryption

  • Self-hosted lemmy not receiving all posts or upvotes

    Hi all, I tried hosting my own lemmy instance to take some of the load off lemmy.world, but a lot of the posts do not get synchronised to my instance. When they do, they never got more than a couple upvotes.

    I get a lot of warnings in the logs that I've got an incoming connection not on my allowed hosts, of which I've put "lemmy.world" and "lemmy.ml"

    Does self hosting like this actually reduce the load on lemmy.world and the fediverse? And how can I fix the issue I'm having?
