Sorry if it wasn’t clear, but money != Capital, not necessarily. You can have money to exchange for goods, but as long as your money doesn’t auto-accumulate via interest, dividends etc, you don’t necessarily have capital. Of course this is mainly a discussion on definitions then

It’s not really capitalism without the involvement of capital, is it? It’s more akin to a trade-and-barter-economy/society, where everyone involved should have a high level of faith in others
Really fun game, but it never hooked me to a point that i finished the story

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How to stay hygienic w/ sensory issues
41·3 months agoIf smell is an issue, try different clothing. A couple years back i discovered “anti-microbial” shirts. I have no idea what they’re treated with, but they basically suppress BO. If i wear normal cotton t-shirts, i feel like i reek in the early afternoon. On a more natural sode, I’ve recently had very positive experiences with merino wool clothing.

4·3 months agoYes, and as soon as the move away from MS office gains momentum, this should be the default. But I’m not convinced that this is how you push forward wider adoption. User adoption (and pushback) can make or break a migration towards better systems, no matter how smart the move is from a rational pov

5·3 months agoTdf is right when it comes to Europe needing to switch away from ooxml, but their attacks against Euro-Office are out of place imho. Yes, in a perfect world, we all switch to LibreOffice and start using odf today, but in the real world, already showing users* that there are alternatives to Microslops office suite will be a huge challenge, and Euro-Office can be an ally here. This infighting however only benefits Microslop.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Thoughts on privacy focused smart glasses?
1·4 months agoIt doesn’t work perfectly, but if using smart glasses anywhere outside of the restricted areas of your business risks huge whooping fines, smart glasses will only be allowed in those restricted areas. The same already goes for dangerous tools and hazardous chemicals. On a PC, you can easily screenshot and -record to create documentation or help others. Having this e.g. for a woodworking technique or to show how to replace a specific part in an engine might be a huge value add. But no one needs this shit while grabbing lunch in a public place.

46·8 months agoHave a look at “wake timers”, they might be at fault and need disabling
Sorry, i was unclear in my question. My not-understand was mainly for the parts of how the medication touches on wakefulness instead of attention.
I share(d) your problems. Getting on medication definitely improved my sleep, but the waking up too early stayed. So i started taking melatonin in the evening, every single night. I wouldn’t go as far as calling it a game changer, but it definitely improved my quality of life, and by a lot. Being well rested, I however still “need” medication, going without has a strong negative impact “on my day” with repercussions on my sleep. Also, the added benefits of melatonin-improved sleep allow me to reduce my meds dose, which leads to a reduction in the accompanying side-effects.
Prescription medication for ADHD might not affect the attention networks of the brain, according to international researchers. The team looked at brain imaging data of kids aged 8-11, and found that taking these ADHD medications, which are stimulants, instead improve brain performance by reversing the effects of sleep deprivation on brain connections and school grades. They also found brain connectivity changed in the parts of the brain associated with wakefulness and reward, but not the brain’s attention systems. The team says their findings imply the ADHD medications might drive brain organisation towards a more wakeful and rewarded configuration, improving task effort and persistence without effects on attention networks.
Anyone able to explain what the resulting consequences mean in practice?

Technology@lemmy.world•European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominanceEnglish
2·1 year agoIt is. That’s why banks have publicly backed Wero in favor of the digital euro. It might also be a reason for the relatively low limits of the digital euro wallets, but that’s just my speculation.

4·1 year agoThe digital euro will be centralized on the European Central Bank, so the transactions do not depend on some local banks. It’s in direct competition with the banks themselves. But yeah, not that big a difference for the end user imho



This. You can already have it on LinkedIn in the EU at least, “sort by recent” instead of “sort by relevant”. Imho its very effective, turns me off within 20 seconds instead of 5 min. If the effect works similarly on less cringe platforms, i can see this as a huge win for consumers.
