tangible

I’m in the Apple ecosystem, hardware-wise, and pretty happy about it. Not much to discuss, if other people feel differently, that’s fine.

get open source fans on the internet to endlessly discuss and fight amongst each other.

I know, totally unrealistic. would actually never happen, that’s ridiculous.

something like https://everynoise.com/ ?

DJ Ibon - Dogdream

Exactly. I’m not at all familiar with French youtubers, and I’m a bit puzzled by the downvotes.

I’m not familiar with this guy, is there a US equivalent he could be compared to?

I had fantastic khachapuri in Lithuania.

Yeah, started at 13. A paper route, and stocking shelves.

I mean, the Dutch are terrible at defending.

Just ask around in Srebrenica.

Raised protestant Christian. What made me leave the religion: 1. debating a militant atheist who asked questions I couldn’t answer 2. textual criticism and apologetics classes I took during my biblical studies course 3. intellectual curiosity. that sounds conceited but you do have to have some form of it to question everything you have been taught up until then.

what happened next is not very exciting. I worked up the courage to tell my mom and the church, stopped attending church services, and had a second puberty of sorts (many such cases!). I’m on good terms with everyone in my family, they respect my position and I respect theirs. No coercion of any kind.

I’d call myself agnostic today. I don’t 100% with absolute certainty rule out the possibility that there might be a higher power after all, but I live my daily life as if there isn’t any.

Tildes might be what you’re looking for. It’s invite-based, which helps to keep the level of discourse at a somewhat decent level.

Can’t relate to be honest. I’m just over 6’1 and I love it. I also don’t necessarily relate my physical appearance to being intimidating. A friendly demeanor and a smile go a long way.

iCloud as primary, Proton Drive as secondary

are humans animals?

man + woman + good timing = baby

I’m using Proton. European, encrypted, an ecosystem that generally works for me (there are exceptions… such as Calendar). Ticks my boxes. What works for me might not work for you, but you could give it a try.

You could also try something like Migadu which has a nice low-budget plan and are generally a no-frills type of company which I don’t see using AI anytime soon if at all.

Here’s what I do to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. I just remember the following three things.

-40C = -40F; 10C = 50F; for every 5 degrees C, you add 9 degrees F.

So that means that 25C = 77F. and 40C = 104F, and 43C is about 110-ish F.

LinkedIn and Whatsapp.

I don’t care much for the “fediverse” as a concept, I just wanted a non-US alternative to reddit.

Let me take a bunch of acid and I’ll come back to you on this…
