I use Radicale for a self hosted shared calendar and todo lists and notes with my wife.

From what I've read fixing world hunger would not be that expensive, in the grand scheme of things. Too bad that the poor just don't have a lobby.

Also, if everyone would get at most 2 children, humanity will shrink on average. Don't see why somebody should not have kids just because somebody else had "too many".

I absolutely agree that many people should not have kids, and nobody should feel pressured to do so, and everybody should think twice before they do if it really is what they want and they are ready for that.

But as "general advice"? Sorry, but this is ridiculous.

Saying this as a fucking exhausted parent of a baby. It is hard, but absolutely no regrets here.

Of course if you value your own free time and activities above everything else, then yes, definitely please do not have kids. There will be no time for anything but baby care and the bare minimum household maintenance for a long time.

Thanks for the nostalgia.

2010 - back then I was an insecure teenager, finding refuge and empowerment in technology, anxious that I will die alone. One year before finishing high school and two before meeting my future wife. I texted her also using Pidgin for ICQ and Google Talk (without the OTR, of course).

Now I'm a self-confident software developer, instead anxious that I will die in a fascist dictatorship, and absolutely sick of the modern shitnology, preferring to care for plants on the balcony after work, because they are something real and not annoying.

Tech is just not fun anymore. But maybe it's for the better, that made me go outside more.

But back on topic:

prohibiting encryption is like saying people should not be able to have private conversations without a microphone in the room which the government can always tune in to, if they see the need. Obviously completely ridiculous.

I guess just in case I'll keep my illegal encryption software somewhere hidden and encrypted. Will be fun when we will start sending crypto data hidden steganographically in a wall of text that reads like bad LLM output. Have fun scanning all the traffic looking for cues that are not there. Anything can be encoded in almost anything else. There is absolutely no way that a government, no matter how powerful, could enforce any such restriction in a bullet proof way against anyone who puts in the tiniest bit of effort.

Concerning making math illegal... Reminds me of DeCSS. Been there, done that. When people were wearing shirts with the illegal prime number. Fun times.

That's too harsh, unless you are a medical expert who is 100% confident this cannot be. I doubt that you are.

Skin has its own microbial flora and is the largest organ of our body. Imagine you take antibiotics. This can lead to all kinds of side effects, because good bacteria just as bad are killed and your gut needs to repopulate.

If you did not wash your skin for decades, I'm pretty certain that you will acquire a pretty unique and rich microbiome on your skin that co-exists with you in symbiosis if you are healthy. Now you just wash it away.

Ah endlich hab ich den "Haupteingang" entdeckt. Hab das gleiche Problem. Issue bei Voyager gemacht, auf admins hier verwiesen worden. Keine Ahnung was los ist, aber es ist sehr ärgerlich.
