  • My opinion is that state and law should not care about sex of a parent or partner. Just to guarantee us all the same rights.

    My other option is that this is quite bad news article (thou that might not be news site, so it is not on them, but on us) since there are a lot of opinions but is hard to find any facts in it.

    What exactly is the law? Who exactly is who? What are the consequences, practical not only emotional? This is raising fear levels, but I am not certain what to fight against (except whole Italian government).







  • Gentoo, obviously.

    I use it since it works. But it also has up to date packages. Number of times I tried moving away from it and it is just not possible.

    I use Mint on side-desktop (one with graphic card I use for gaming and deep learning) and while it is easy to use it also has old software, python is stuck on 3.7 or 3.8 so it is becoming unusable even.

    Will gentoo give you some problems? Probably, but those are always solvable and you will spend less time on other stuff.



  • XMPP akka Jabber was the chat back in the day, if you wanted to chat one on one, and didn’t want msn and other random corporate messangers - jabber was it.

    All geeky/techy friends were on jabber, others were on skype and some other networks through time.

    That’s why Pidgin ( https://www.pidgin.im/plugins/?publisher=all&query=&type=) was important it implemented all those messaging protocols together.

    But one year, all of a sudden, everyone got on jabber! Thise from Facebook and those from Google. Google Talk was great, all my friends were online and reachable. Good days.

    Than they killed it. And it all stopped. Not only for us on jabber, but for everyone. But jabber god destroyed, no one was there anymore. We all felt that emptiness and it was not fun anymore.

    Wether they did it intentionally or by accident doesn’t matter. If you go with your truck over kids bike intentionally to destroy it or just want to pass - doesn’t matter at the end.


  • I can recomend to do just something easy. Find easiest and shortest routine (that lasts 2 minutes, literally) and do it in the morning.

    Since I startet it, I feel much much better. It is not like full exercise, but at least muscles don’t hurt as much.

    I do:

    • Head and Shoulder Rolls x5 to each side
    • Hip Circles:l x5 to each side
    • Arm Circles x5 to each side
    • squats x10
    • some others similar warm up exercises when I feel like it (ex. malasana squat)

    Idea is to move every muscle in my body. It is not hard, lasts 2-3 minutes but makes my day few percents nicer.





  • I am, somehow, on both sides. I do think monetization is necessary, but would also like to keep part of it out of it.

    I guess that I see monetization a bit idealistically, like having non tracking ads and sponsorships, or having separate instances with paid accounts that is also financing others… stuff like that. But that might not be enough anyway, as it is not for reddit, twitter, fb, yt… even with all of their data harvesting and selling.

    So maybe donations are the way to go? Wikipedia is one of the biggest sites of the world and is managing to collect enough money through donations.

    Lemmy/Mastadon is even easier, country/cities can have their instances to allow their citizens access to social network, companies can have their instances for their users and potential users or just as giving something to community.

    And we can have this kind where we donate to individual administrators.

    I think that even if I would enable adds they would get less than 1USD per month for me, let’s say I donate 10USD per year for lemmy+mastadon?

    Maybe tutanota, protonmail can have their instances? They are already hosting stuff, so would be a big problem (except moderation).

    I can see all of this fail, but I also see it can succeed.
