I give you a lot of credit. I got about 3 paragraphs in (which was the amount I deemed necessary and sufficient enough to judge the quality of the whole) and bailed.

artifex@lemmy.zipto Photography@lemmy.ml•When analog restoration makes the past feel too real4·1 day agoWhich is especially annoying since it does touch on something interesting and human and ephemeral.
artifex@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When do you finally calm down after buying a house?10·2 days agoI think after 18 months or so you will have a good feeling for what you bought. There will still be things to do. There will ALWAYS be things to do (some of which will be very expensive). But as far as coming to terms with exactly where everything is, what the quirks are, and whether you can live with them, you need all 4 seasons and a bit.
artifex@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the telltale signs of self-individuation psychologists like Jung put forth?5·3 days agoI don’t think this is quite right - the “hierarchy of needs” pyramid is misleading. Self-actualization is fleeting just like physical care (eg meeting basic needs) is fleeting - if you stop doing it, things go downhill quickly, and so you’re always doing it at least a little bit.
While a lot of people frame self actualization as what they would do if only all other needs are met, they really should be thought of as needs you must meet to feel fulfilled. Could be as simple as reading a good book, getting out into nature or cooking a nice meal. Anything that you get value from ticks the box for a little while.

artifex@lemmy.zipto Coffee@lemmy.world•Delonghi Dedica: any tips for making good coffee?61·3 days agoI have a dedica and find it can be a little underpowered with an unpressurized basket (though the coffee looks so pretty). First thing I’d try is - without adjusting your grind - to back off to 8g to reduce the extraction time and see how it is.
If you’ve also had it for a while and have never descaled you should do that as well, even if the machine hasn’t bugged you about it yet.
artifex@lemmy.zipto European Federalists@lemmy.world•America’s infatuation with boy geniuses and ‘Great Men’ is ruining us7·4 days agoSince the earliest towns and cities formed there have been periods where “heroic societies” celebrated powerful men by showering them with women and luxury goods, burying them like kings and immortalizing them with legends and songs. Beowulf is kind of the archetypal example.
I strongly believe that in modern times whenever we’ve veered toward fascism it’s because that social memory leaked out.
artifex@lemmy.ziptoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Newsom is warned of ‘criminal tax evasion’ if he withholds federal taxes28·4 days agoThis is the kind of thing that could get him elected president or thrown in jail. Or possibly both.

artifex@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 20295·4 days agoAlso 1 degree C is the same as 1 degree K - only the starting point is different
artifex@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 2029English436·4 days agoAs stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.

artifex@lemmy.zipto SpaceflightMemes@sh.itjust.works•Space Shuttle Program Outcome CompassEnglish2·4 days agoI don’t 100% agree with everything here but it’s well done. And makes me sad.
So happy to be less than an hour late to the party here but see it’s already full of Futurama comments.
artifex@lemmy.ziptoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•A working class hero is something to beEnglish681·4 days agoIt’s not dumb, it shows the brilliance of the ruling class in controlling the narrative. A lot of people will think this way and continue to support them even though it’s grossly misguided and definitely not in their own best interests.
artifex@lemmy.zipto Casual Conversation@piefed.social•I wonder whether "self-unfurling car tents" are viable3·5 days agoI was just thinking about this the other day. I’m currently experimenting with a heavy duty lined windshield cover with magnets that attaches to the exterior of the car on the roof and hood. The storage and labor is the biggest issue as you note, as is what to do with it when it’s raining and everything is soaking wet. It also hasn’t been too windy around here yet and I’m wondering if that will be problematic as well.
