I fundamentally disagree with your premise. Being caring, vulnerable, gentle is in no way incompatible with being manly. All require a lot of courage, strength, and intelligence. I do not think that manliness should be defined by its most toxic representatives.

I also heard an interesting take on this: we technically do not have a definition of what “manliness” means, as currently society is built around hating and oppressing women. Boys are told “don’t be a girl”, pretty much - don’t cry, don’t be ‘emotional’, don’t compromise, etc.

I think you should be grateful that you weren’t indoctrinated into being an abuser and instead managed to become a “real man”.

If you have trouble breaking the friendship barrier, consider getting in touch and expressing your romantic side more, because the qualities you describe are super attractive

oh, got it, thanks. feel so bad about people having read my incorrect comment haha

~~That’s a huge change. Reviewing one years’ worth of code at once is practically impossible, this significantly reduces the chances of a third party spotting malicious changes in the code.~~

that’s great to hear, thanks for the info. It’s strange that they don’t mention that on their websites more prominently

they offer so much, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about them before. ~~Most of their apps have proprietary clients though, right?~~ And they don’t seem to offer privacy features like simplelogin for email, which was the main reason why I subscribed. and additionally, one would then have to pay separately for vpn

edit: they have open source clients

omg totally, I hate that people do that. I don’t see a way out without introducing digital literacy classes at schools

that’s bizarre, sorry to hear that and hope it gets better

it doesn’t have to be only meaningless computations. And even if it were, the cost is nothing compared to such a huge scale of privacy infringement

is it? Someone mentioned proof of work being effective for Tor.

yeah otherwise my light shirt comes out covered in dark fibers and vice versa. When I had only muted colors I was able to wash together. I also started switching to non toxic clothes but still have some synthetic items so they’re separated too, so the safe clothes don’t get unnecessary covered in microplastics (they’re emitted more intensively during washing). And then wool and other delicate clothes get ruined by normal spinning cycle so they need to be washed separately too.

But I just have a divider in my laundry basket so I don’t have to sort them out

home assistant is amazing but it is not yet an alternative to Alexa, the assistant/voice is still in development and far from being usable. it’s impossible for me to remember the specific wording assist demands and voice to text is incorrect like nine out of ten times. And this includes giving up on terrible locally hosted models trying out their cloud which obviously is a huge privacy hole, but even then it was slow and inaccurate. It’s a mystery to me how the foss community is so behind on voice, Siri and Google Assistant started working offline years ago, and they work straight on a mobile device.
