thread as in threaded posts as opposed to other parts of the fediverse with another layout. it’s not about the instance Threads, but the type of fediverse service allowing a lemmy/kbin type of conversation.

The difference, and the best part of the fediverse imho, is that if you’re not happy with someone elses rules you can become your own admin and set your own rules. The more we centralize power the further we go against that idea.

I picked some this year and made a nice potato soup with mixed in wild garlic. Simple and good.

If you ever do write with pen and paper, it takes little effort to focus on just one improvement. A first step could be to try to get a consistent height of letters. When I’m in a hurry my “o” and “i” become way smaller than, say, “e”. Just a quick look when you’re done writing and a reflection like “next time I’ll try to make this letter as tall as that letter when I write”. When all lower case letter are as tall, focus on something else, like ascender height or baseline. Maybe your “l” tilts more than your “t”, then that’s a good thing to fix. One small step at a time.

Things you can do in finland: tango, fight with knives, computer stuff.

I guess. It invoked some emotion for sure, something that research and policies usually don’t. For me, I still don’t know what to do differently. I’ve heard the statistics and it’s scary and sad. I want women to be safe and equal and all that. But what’s the plan here, which path leads to a different world? Does it help if I just sit around and feel bad about myself? I don’t think so. It just alienates me from half of the human population. But what actually helps? The message I receive is mostly just “feel bad about yourself.”

If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail.

You know, that’s a good idea.

Reading bell hooks back in the day made me interested in understanding feminism. Things like the bear makes me go do other things and care less.

I think we have the same terminology then, we also call them “flyttblock”. Is there a story behind them being called Devil’s rock? It sounds very finnish to me to be honest.

The ice sheet covering northern europe started to melt away, and with that we got what is called “glacial erratics”. Rocks had traveled from once place to another, and then settled. In Sweden we call those “giants throw”, because it was assumed that the only way those big rocks could be where they are was if a giant had thrown it.

Di ffusion

It didn’t happen in one big exodus, no. But maybe in the future someone will find those old posts and decide to make a new post instead of just concluding there’s nothing and not doing anything.

There might be a significant number of users here waiting for everyone else to switch over to lemmy. If you start a niche community, it’s a little easier for someone else to be like “It’s kind of empty, but it exists on lemmy too.” What you need is a critical mass of people. It usually takes time and effort to reach that, and someone must be first.

If ads are pushed into ed(1), then it truly is everything. But, as long as Theo is the leader of OpenBSD, we will always have a free operating system.

What are the biggest reasons for the complexity? What would we be giving up if browsers were simpler?

I remember back in the 90s when it was mostly text and hyperlinks (and animated gifs). Now, we have a lot of nice features of course, javascript and what not, but which of these features are the heaviest for browser complexity?

This is a fairly common opinion in Sweden among people.

Sweden classified PKK as a terrorist organization in 1984. Sweden does not finance PKK.

We’ve already decided on Svejsan if Sweden would ever try to leave. It doesn’t translate well, but that’s part of the spirit I guess.
