For my best friends, there were years when I don't get them a Christmas or birthday gift, but I have just got them something I think they needed at some random point when I saw them, and was like, "here, your birthday/Christmas gift, whatever".

I do think you should do your chores, but I get it that it's not easy as that. As a former roommate who did the most cleaning up after all four others, this would bring far more joy to me than receiving a gift in return for me giving one. It might make you feel a little less miserable to get something done.

If your roommates are really expecting money or something in return for the gift, in my eyes (tax law is a different matter), that's a sale or a trade, not a gift. It is and should be out of generosity, and whatever you get or give should be in that spirit rather than obligation imo. If you feel shame and feel obliged but need ideas, why don't you order a nice meal for everyone, booking a spot at a restautant for whoever's schedules align or you have it delivered to your place for them as the gift? Alternatively, gift cards for a place you knkw they like to go is a super simple option.

Listen, it's not the end of the world if you can't get a gift for Christmas in time. No need to move out over it. Work is hard enough. Don't put yourself through more unhealthy stress just because of capitalistic cultural brainwashing to get you to spend money.

Just this week: The Settings app on my work Windows computer had a completely non-functional search feature. The other thing I was trying to set "Choose what happens when you close the laptop lid", I have still not been able to find it outside of manually going to Windows 7-era control panel.

Canada's overweight populist buffoon takes on America's overweight populist buffoon.

Yeah from that video and the one later he seems to know his stuff. Using "put yourself in Luigi's position" is the perfect answer to avoid leaking sensitive info about your discussions with your client that the media are constantly prodding for, while still evoking sympathy for the defendant.

Yeah I remember before he was saying the total equivalent of "Project2025 is just a coffee boy, nothing to do with me."

Now, which anyone absolutely could have predicted: "Oh, but how convenient it is to have a database of stooges who were vetted to suck up to me! Might as well use it!"

Media sane-washed the fuck out of Project2025 which everyone with two braincells unwashed by propaganda to put together, knew this was the plan all along.

Why do drones fly in V shape formations? So that drug smuggling can blend in with the feds /s

When companies post ghost jobs, it is to pretend everything is going peachy, instill desperation and exhaustion in workers to hide their own desperation. Then they wonder why it's so hard to find someone new when the employee they counted on but didn't pay appropriately leaves.

I don't need people to remember me, personally by name or what I looked like, but I would be happy if others would be positively affected by whatever I manage to accomplish in this life.

Well, they were involved in war, no matter how much lipstick this article wants to put on the pig.

Sorry to hear you were going through all that. Take it easy and at a comfortable place.

Just remember that one of the biggest reasons lemm.ee became such a cool place to hang out online is because of you, and that's not going to go away just because you're reducing your involvement. Thank you.

Ella take it easy too, even if you've got big shoes to fill I'm sure you'll do great!

I think overall it's not a bad suggestion, and yes Photon looks very sleek, and I have even contributed a language translation for it.

However, my main concern is: what would happen if the main dev loses interest and drops support of the interface? Lemmy backend may add a new feature that either breaks Photon, or Photon can't make use of it until updated. If the development of this frontend could be more integrated with the Lemmy project team and funded, I would be less concerned.
