I think it already is. I think we just need to send a Calendly to see when everyone’s got some free time and we can burn this mother down.

Mental health is a crisis for learners globally, and digital support is increasingly seen as a critical resource. Concurrently, Intelligent Social Agents receive exponentially more engagement than other conversational systems, but their use in digital therapy provision is nascent. A survey of 1006 student users of the Intelligent Social Agent, Replika, investigated participants’ loneliness, perceived social support, use patterns, and beliefs about Replika. We found participants were more lonely than typical student populations but still perceived high social support. Many used Replika in multiple, overlapping ways—as a friend, a therapist, and an intellectual mirror. Many also held overlapping and often conflicting beliefs about Replika—calling it a machine, an intelligence, and a human. Critically, 3% reported that Replika halted their suicidal ideation. A comparative analysis of this group with the wider participant population is provided.

It looks like you can construct scenarios where ICE cars are cheaper than EVs by a fine margin, for instance a mid-sized car that you own for just the wrong amount of time in a country with a high gas subsidy (the United States, for instance) that you don't drive much. However, for most scenarios, it seems you'll save 10-15% on the total cost of ownership.

The acronyms TCO (total cost of ownership), ICE (internal combustion engine) and EV (electric vehicle) may help you should you decide to continue research on your own.

Erm... Writing a manifest is like, an hour of work for a dev? Supporting PWAs is like... years? So um, not really comparable.

I use bi personally, but pan people argue that they're more than two genders and they are attracted to all of them. I use bi because my sexuality is dualistic -- I have both heterosexual and homosexual attractions. The two are effectively synonymous.

I think we can even calculate about how often it happens. My math is gonna be Amerigo-centric because I'm American and so are fortune cookies.

There are ~3 billion fortune cookies produced yearly in the USA, so 8.2 million cookies are opened per day. There are 292,201,338 PowerBall combinations. That means that there's about a 2.8% chance that someone opens a fortune cookie that has any given lotteries numbers on it. But wait! There isn't just one "the lottery"; there are 48 states and territories in the US, and my state (Washington) has four games. Assuming everyone's state is like mine, and you randomly select a lottery to play, that leaves us with a much more modest .014% chance that on a given day, someone opens a fortune cookie with their lottery number on it.

I follow my favorite Lemmy users on Mastodon -- since they're both on activitypub, you can use the one from the other. I like it much better because that's kinda Mastodon's whole jam, following users. Here's what it looks like from Mastodon looking at my account

Be alone. It's nice to have some peace and quiet after everyone else has gone to sleep.

I've been really into games with a good crafting system where you have to try to survive. Don't Starve and Subnautica are the ones that have taken most of my time. I also like colony management games, like RimWorld and Oxygen Not Included
