  • I'm not a Republican, but I am a good bit more right than a lot of the fediverse tends to be (consider myself centrist, also refuse to align with a party on principle). I think they are doing a terrible job of diplomacy right now. I do think it is an intentional thing (on account of that's kind of who trump is) but I still think this much stuff against our allies is really stupid. I don't want to say too much as I didn't vote this year (forgot until too late) and by my standards that means I don't get to complain, but I can say I disagree with their methods overall, even though I may not disagree with everything they are trying to do.

  • in some people it is a racism thing, but generally it's just a generalisation done either to ask a genuine question about a group or to facilitate a joke. while they may not always be true, these generalisations often are genuinely a thing that a group tends to do more than other groups.

  • the cultures that were around when abrahamic religions (christianity, judaism, islam, and all offshoots whether considered separate or not) were the patriarchal (men in charge) and misogynystic (prejudice against women). this was adopted into their religion, which in turn influenced the future of their culture and any cultures it took hold in. large islamic and christian states such as the ottoman empire, the (later) roman empire, and the catholic empire i mean church spread this to pretty much all of europe and the middle east. colonialism spread this influence to the americas and part of africa. this large influence, along with trade, also affected religions in places that were not affected as much, such as asia and the parts of africa they didn't colonise. this resulted in pretty much all of the non-asian world having a abrahamic religion as their biggest one, which caused the various african, pre-catholic european, and pre-colonial american religions to be either eradicated or forgotten. it also prevented the prominent asian religions (which were already well-established at that point, and did the same thing as the previous point to the areas they were in) from spreading much further.

    as it's relevant to the topic, I feel like I should mention that I am a christian. I don't think anything I said here was biased, but if i missed something important please let me know so i don't accidentally misrepresent other religions.

  • mastodon is already the next twitter, bluesky is just a direct copy of it with nothing keeping it from going the same way. mastodon is open source (can't be corpoed), federated (can talk to other platforms/instances so being on a small one doesn't hurt anything), and most importantly, uses a protocol that doesn't make self-hosting impossible due to storage requirements.

  • at the moment of its creation yes, but the moment either of us experiences anything we will be different. because this will happen instantly (bc I would have to still be alive for a copy to be possible) the answer is no.

  • @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org I think mastodon should implement a post-to-community type thing like mbin has for microblog posts. It (and all other fedi. platforms, really) also needs like a tutorial or smth to show how to actually use the federation features of the platform.

  • I may have issues I never had on windows but I have way fewer issues and if I mention them online roughly half the time a dude who develops the thing that caused it sees it and, completely unlike any microsoft employee, gives a fuck. I once mentioned that I experienced a bug in the only mbin mobile app in reply to a post that was related to mbin but not the app (directly, anyway) and jwr1, the guy who makes that app, responded asking what it was.

  • I have seen the reasoning they are actually presenting, and it is just various versions of "but I don't want this to be here" even though they have the option of not interacting with it. nobody is forcing maintainers to support rust code in the thing they maintain, they just can't prevent rust code from interfacing with it. their arguments are based purely on not wanting to interact with rust but they don't have to, so they are wrong to block it.

  • I'm not to great at managing sleep or food intake myself, but I've found that adding some flavoring to your water helps with hydration. I don't mean those little squirt bottle things though, I mean more like tea. I used to make tea in the morning before school and when I finished it I would refill the water bottle with regular water from the water fountain. the flavor wouldn't be as strong as when I first made the tea, but it made me go from almost never drinking water to drinking 1 bottle of tea (that water bottle was like 20 oz) and 2 bottles of water a day. they also make cold brew tea now, and from the couple times i've tried it it seemed to steep pretty well in ice water and had a good flavor. also as dumb as it may seem, having a water bottle with some cool gimmicky feature may help too. for example, i use an owala one right now and it's been pretty helpful (i stopped doing the tea thing for a while bc i ran out and forgot to buy more) as well.

  • you shouldn't worry about being skinny, only not being fat. the goal should be to avoid the bad thing (being fat, in this case meaning only fat to the point of unhealthiness) not to be the opposite because that is bad too (being excessively skinny can cause just as many issues). as long as you aren't at the point one way or the other where it is hurting your health nobody actually cares. also I'm aware op was joking but some of y'all need to hear this.

  • being new does not mean you do not have the right to develop the same way everybody else is. they did not start these issues, there were C people causing issues for no reason other than not liking rust that started it.
