  • Imaginative naming, scientists 👍

  • The fact that this is published in the BMJ suggests to me that this is, in fact, an advertisement.

  • It's all just entertainment

  • It's good that your dad is your friend. He probably really loves you and wants the best for you, which isn't always the case with other people.

    In fact I would say that your dad is probably the most important friend to have.

    With that out of the way, I'd also ask: How old are you? Do you want other friends? Have you met other people that you want to be friends with? What is your definition of a 'friend'?

    You might already have friends but not think of them as such. You might be surrounded by people you don't want to be friends with or your paths might not have crossed yet with anyone you want to be friends with.

    Does your dad have friends? My first friends were people my parents introduced me to. Now most of my friends are people that other friends introduced me to. Friends have been a very social thing for me.

  • Yeah, sounds valid.

  • I think it mostly depends on whether your pet has thumbs and how tall it is.

  • Another option for some Kobos is Inkbox/QuillOS. It's a full open source OS replacement and is very cool. It was very usable last summer when I tried it out on my Kobo Clara HD and is probably even better now.

  • Novelousness.

  • I actually think it would be cool to be in your 70s - you can still do most things and can mostly think straight but other people think you cannot and so they don't bother pestering you.

  • I think it's easier to stay motivated when you have contact with other people. Even the OU recognises this and tries to incorporate meetups or at least video conferences.

  • I've seen this argument made by right wing economic 'think tanks' like the IEA and I'm not convinced, either by the reasoning or the quality of the data that's supposed to support it. If being able to charge extortionate rent was the only way to make a profit from building houses then house building would have correlated negatively with affordable rents, which AFAIK is the opposite to the historic reality, at least here in the UK. As long as there are people who need a house to live in there will be always be demand for housing; it's just a question of who gets to own the houses. Is it people who are living in them or people who are charging others to live in them? Right now there is a rich minority who are able to buy more and more houses because a poor majority are paying them such high rent and are thus prevented from ever saving enough for a deposit and competing in the property market. That's why inequality is compounding.

  • Andrea Borman's linux channel.

  • I think severe rent control would go a long way to solving the problem here in the UK.

    Make it unprofitable to exploit the fundamental need for shelter. It would allow people to build up savings and have more disposable income, so they can compete properly in the market.

    It would lift up the people at the bottom at the same time as curtailing those at the top = less inequality.

    It's not like millionaires can take all the houses with them if decide to leave the country.

  • Do you mean the inconsistent cursor size across applications? I have this on a fresh Fedora install and it's a bad look.

  • I can't comment on Stalwart but if you're looking for something reliable and easy to install on a VPS I recommend YUNOhost, which is a FOSS server OS that has email out of the box.

  • It seems odd that you're here on a social media site then.

  • Some people have to buy ebooks with DRM to support the author but like to strip it using a Calibre plugin, for various reasons.

  • Check out YUNOhost. I had a Pixelfed server up and running in 20 mins.
