I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you probably haven't even looked for any viable alternatives, because if you had, you would have found they are plentiful already. They're just expensive because of the government subsidizing animal farming, not because they're expensive to produce.

I bought a cheap ring light. I look a lot better on webcam now even when it's dark outside. Don't know yet if I'll be making YouTube videos any time soon, but I'm definitely a step closer now.

Oh boy, this reminds me of this web comic, “Death and the Maiden”. It starts out slow but if you stick with it it's going to reward you. https://deathandmaiden.com/one/index.html

Sorry, why is this posted to upliftingnews that we still have people who can't afford basic necessities and are dependent on charity from rich people?

I applaud your success! I'm curious though: what is it about C# that made it inaccessible compared to Java? The two are extremely similar, so much so that I think you'd have to learn for more than a year before you start noticing any differences.

Valuing human lives is itself an ideology/viewpoint. A great one obviously, and one I fervently agree with, but once you realize this it's easier to understand how other people can put other viewpoints ahead of this one.

True but not relevant to the point being made.

Sorry, am I missing something? There's no link.

Edit: looks like a problem with federation. I can see the image on the original instance, but not on Kbin.

Because without it, the DOJ would have no control over you, duh

I'm not sure if the prospect of him dying one day is any consolation. I mean, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il died at some point, but nothing really changed for ordinary North Koreans.

I'm in the same boat as you (currently reading Lemmy/Kbin to avoid having to get out of bed), but occasionally I get bored of YouTube and similar instant gratifications too, and then I make a more concerted effort to do something more productive. This isn't easy and often doesn't last very long, but — as you correctly pointed out — it's starting the hard part. Once you've started something you know you'll enjoy, you can sink time into it.

Ich biete hiermit eine Revanche()!

(Für die nicht-Englischsprecher: Revanche heißt auf Englisch rematch)
