  • I don’t think it’s the brain but rather our consciousness that is limited. Our sensory inputs are always on and processed by the brain, but our consciousness is very picky and also slow.

    People can sometimes recall true memories that they weren’t aware of, or react to things they didn’t think of and such.

    Consciousness is also somehow lagging behind the actual decision making, but always presents itself as the cause of action.

    Sort of like Windows telling you that you removed a USB stick 2 seconds after you did it and was well aware of it happening. Consciousness is like that, except it takes responsibility for it too…

    When it encounters something that it didn’t predict, it’ll tell you that “yeah this happened and this is why you did that”. Quite often the explanation for doing something is made up after it happened.

    This is a good thing mostly, because it allows you to react faster than having to consider your options consciousnessly. You do not need to or have time to make a conscious decision to dodge a dodgeball, but you’ll still think you did.




  • It’s generally a lot less pretentious, which might appear as a lack of “intelligent” comments. Most Lemmy users just don’t spend hours trying to write page long comments on obscure topics that nobody else here cares about.

    Also, in the more specific communities, lots of things are taken for granted. Places with more users will more often have the “todays 10000” user, who just discovered something that is new to them and then decides to write about it in detail. Lemmy is more polite that way: Not reposting noob stuff on a daily basis for karma or whatever point system brings it up constantly on other sites.


  • There is no good fix. It’s a Google thing. People have tried using roots and OBD2 fixes, but there is no easy solution.

    I don’t know the Spotify app that well, but it should be possible to scroll through songs on a playlist using controls on the steering wheel or voice control. Those methods shouldn’t trigger the scroll warning.

    Alternatively, he could skip Android Auto and use Bluetooth instead if it’s only connected for the music. That’s what I do for other music apps and the steering wheel controls also work just fine that way too as long as I have prepared a playlist in advance.

    “Thanks in advance” has changed meaning.

    It used to mean: “I appreciate your effort into this, no reply needed”.

    It now means :“Fuck you if you don’t do this, and I expect this done without complaint.”


  • All non-stock companies which is the majority of all companies. That’s the problem. When a company applies for a stock market registration, it means that they’re selling off control and profit sharing of the company in order to gain investments to expand.

    All companies start with a single or two owners. The transition from owning everything to including others won’t happen if it means giving up to the majority of control, whether that’s 50% or 5/95%. That’s why many companies get stuck on 51%. It only ever comes over 50% when someone dies or makes a mature decision of letting others control “their” company.

    I have discussed the need for me to nap after work with my wife… At first she didn’t understand why I should skip the homely duties,.but after explaining my drinking habits just to stay awake, and her own schedule and habits looking the same, we have agreed that we all need a fucking nap. Just 40+ y/o things…
