Like already suggested, it's historical an cultural.

I mean, your dad and you may be fine with polygamy but would you be as cool with, say, polyandry (mutliple husbands for a single woman)? If not, why? And what about monogamy or even not being married and practicing 'free' sex (partners mating and then splitting freely, willingly)? Or ~~celibacy~~ edit: chastity/abstinence of sex?

Those are all cultural/historical/societal values. Some of those values are closer to our own personal values. Others are definitely not. Some are at the complete opposite of the spectrum of one another. But they're still all based on principles, values, and on traditions that each group, if not all, will dearly defend and argue is the better choice if not the only 'true' one. I'm thinking hard but I can't recall any noticeable group that welcomed 'alien' sexual/marital practice.

Heck, even our good old own hippies of the 60s and 70s, with their 'free' or liberated sex and love were still openly hostile and quite dismissive to the traditional 'married couple'.

All questions related to sexuality/relationships and attribution of power (things like who is head of the family, who should be allowed to get specific kind of jobs (say, be a priest), the age of consent and the gender of partners, the type of sexual practice that are frowned upon, the (un)willingness to have sex, and so on) are among those core values that hardly any group of population is willing to discuss. At least not their own values because, based on what I can see, most of them seem to be more than willing to openly question any other group's values.

I think I like the idea but shouldn't we worry it would make it harder to use? I mean, people are lazy... if they are forced to hesitate each time they want to vote for a post or a comment, they'll simply find a shortcut which probably means they'll go for the biggest/first button they can click. Something like that.

Also, I'm not sure vote will really change any deep trend (which by the way is one of the reasons I steered away from other social media). If people really want to share memes and low effort content can we really prevent it?

100% this.

It changed my life, literally from being barely able to walk a few steps (even getting the mail at the door, I would then had to rest for the entire day) to be walking miles almost every single day of the year. It all started by walking a few feeble steps in my neighborhood, one day after the other. And it took me less than a year to get back into, let's say, a functional shape.

Easy: I eat and drink (a little) even though I don't need to.

Pareil pour moi, d'ailleurs: zero souci.

Même mes Airpods marchent du premier pocup sous Mint (c'est d'ailleurs pour cette raison incroyablement essentielle que je me suis décidé à switycher à Mint: j'arrivais pas à connecter mes Airpods avec les autres distros... Comme quoi j'ai des exigences dans la vie). Depuis, je suis vraiment tombé sous le charme de Mint, faut pas croire que je suis que superficiel comme ça ;)

Par contre, j'ai jamais aimé BT et je l'aimerais jamais. Même quand j'étais sur un Mac.

C'est malin, tu me donnes envie ~~d'une gauffre~~ de gauffres.

Bonus mon ssd est une clef usb il paraît :

Vaut mieux éviter d'essayer de l'éjecter comme une clé USB, quoi qu'ne dise l'ordi :p

Je ne cherche pas à blâmer. J'observe juste comment ça impacte ma capacité à faire des choses ou, plus justement, comment ça me contraint à faire des choses que je n'ai aucune envie de faire et, surtout à mon âge et malade, pas très envie d'y consacrer du temps non plus.

Cela ne remet pas en cause ma reconnaissance envers le Logiciel Libre et ses auteurs. Comme je l'explique dans le blog, cela souligne surtout une des raisons dans ma distanciation d'avec la high-tech informatique, libre ou pas: les frictions imposées. Apple avait aussi des bugs pénibles et là, pour le coup, si les probabilités que Apple se soucie de mes signalements n'étaient pas nulles elles étaient quand même assez faibles... surtout ces 15 dernières années, où tout a profondément changé chez Apple.

Je pense que c'est le petit addon que j'ai instalél pour facilement/rapidement switcher la sortie audio depuis le Panneau. Mais il va falloir que je vérifie ça, ce qui ne se fera pas en 5 minutes...

+1, ce qui ne devrait pas surprendre ;)

Nice :)

I used to own an Olympia SG1 (my grandad's) that I loved to type on. It was a joy to use. I gave it to a friend when I switched full time to computer full time, in the late 80s. At first I thought nothing about it (it had done its time) but, say, around the early 00s I started realizing I missed it and I've been regretting it since then. For portable (the sg1 was heavy like a tank), I used to use a Lettera 22. Still, my true love was that Olympus ;)

There are ways of keeping your data away from prying eyes

I'm worrying both about the corporate greed and at the same time of that relentless trend in our elected representatives (and even more so in our non-elected bureaucracies), all to vote laws reducing or forbidding the use of true digital privacy protecting tools. Here in France for example, I would not be surprised if in a not too distant future things like Tor or VPNS or even the use of full non-backdoored encryption were to suddenly become illegal for the average Joe (except for people like, say, journalists, bankers, lawyers and other sensitive professions like that) all in the name of hunting naughty terrorists and perverts, obviously—not at all as a way to better control a rapidly growing percentage of unsatisfied population.

Depends.

The main issue I have is that for decades I've had that habit of destroying my old journals (physically getting rid of them, shredding or burning them). Why? I started journaling as a little kid but thx to my inquisitorial mom I quickly learned to get rid of my old journals. And it then took my entire live for me to get rid of that sad habit which made it obviously harder to read old entries ;)

Nowadays, not only do I keep (and read, occasionally) my old journals but I also index them (at least teh part I consider interesting/useful enough) in my Zettelkasten note-taling system. But I'm also not obsessed by the idea of reading my journals and I can go for a very long times without looking at old entries. Up until I feel the need to check something, or just to browse a few pages.

Finally, I journal mostly to put some order into my head like I use to say. I will also journal to keep a record of a few events I want to be able to recall but for the most part it's processing/brain dump. The same with the sketches I may add in that journal, btw: I don't give a crap about looking at them later on when I'm drawing them (that's certainly why I don't care if they're crappy either) and when I stumble upon them, later on, I will often be surprised myself by what I sketched ;)
