same happened with anarchism. I bet someone will come reply to me, saying that anarchism is actually bad because it means “chaos” and “no laws”, yada yada.

Regardless of what many comments say, your feelings are completely valid. I’d be upset too. It’s not like your dad is doing anything monstrous, but it’s plain stupid (to say the least). Sometimes, love is that way. It lasts whatever is needed for the people involved to learn some stuff.

Be patient. Your support will be needed, sooner or later. Even if the relationship doesn’t end at all. There will be drawbacks. If you don’t feel up to the ‘task’, cool. It’s not an obligation. Just keep your distance from it.

Btw, 19 is a good age to start living with some frens. Perhaps a talk with your Dad is due… do not make it about this situation (or not exclusively). You deserve your own space. I believe the need for it can be something that was already in the works, and now you are getting ‘hit’ by everything altogether and all at once with this situation.

Good luck!

I’m from Argentina, and we’re indeed the best culture/ people/ country :)

ps. in case you haven’t met us before, we are proud and boast a lot.

• The average age seems to be much higher. I joined when I was 16 and feel quite young unlike on other social media.

Enjoy. Less echo bubbles. This goes in both directions, but mainly I value that younger people are able to be part of “mature conversations”. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to underestimate your worldview or anything. It’s just that I’m remembering when I was around your age, the Internet was in a raw form, and it felt much like this. I was amazed to be able to talk with other adults and learn about their tastes on say books or movies when I joined some theme specific chat channel (via protocol IRC). At some point this changed drastically (e.g. Facebook connecting people from real life/ schools)… and I think nowadays TikTok, Insta, and for the most part, even YouTube are just centered around being young, pretty… very much like mainstream TV.

Plus, black holes may do contain universes. This year there was some evidence pointing that our universe is actually trapped inside one… ref: https://futurism.com/universe-trapped-inside-black-hole

I know… yet,

ducks eating birdseed were, in fact, birds.

(Can I patronize? should be funny to point out that) ackshually, ducks are birds regardless of what they’re eating. Like, at all times. Same happens with Penguins, Ostrich, and… Mmm… other birds! gotcha!! Can’t say the same with Velociraptors :P

Arriving to Galapagos islands, in just 2-3 blocks that we walked we got to see so much life! Not the giant tortoises though. But lizards, birds, and even some underwater sea life. A local fishermen was emptying his net, taking out some giant lobsters. It was the first time I saw these animals, apparently the usual are rather small in comparison and taste better, but in the ocean they can grow A LOT. These were easily the size of a shepherd’s dog…

PS. Same trip, another experience(s) were snorkeling or diving :) if you love nature, I recommend going there…

Yes, I think the problem description fits for moving from static website to having a database and a web service ( with or without javascript, could be just forms, check htmx.org ). For example, if you know Python you could go and check Django. But there are many other ORMs, all aiming to make working with databases easier. Btw, I am not expanding the ORM acronym because it would only add noise. OP should look into that, and understand why these ‘frameworks’ are called like that… Good luck!

Spain? check guifi.net ;)

People had LAN Partys playing video games “offline” in the 90s… Setting up a network is easy, the difficulty comes from scaling up to many nodes, and spreading through the geography (e.g. if you were to use antennas for WLAN, they would need a mostly unobstructed vision) which in urban areas gets tricky.

But those “topology” issues can be flattened, e.g. you can always have a raspberry pi (or any device) acting as server in the corner of a neighborhood. A virtual bulletin board, emails, etc. all could be self-hosted locally there and then people could go grab a coffee and consume the local news just like in the middle ages, but with a screen, digital assets and some healthy amount of trolling :P

I was in love with this brand because they supported rooting (halfway into actually owning your device.) but that’s no longer the case, so… I couldn’t care less if this model is available in my region

That’s re-victimization. People do people stuff, like using social networks. Furthermore, the database probably goes as far as previous to being bought, enshittified and renamed by Musk. So… you’re not being fair.

AFAIK that was a telemetry issue that was fixed (but very poorly addressed.) last year. Then someone posted about it recently…

I am using it BECAUSE of the vertical bar. So, I wouldn’t know.

I have been using Sidebery in Firefox for ages now… and TreeStyleTabs before that. To me it’s natural to use the space in the side of the web, since I almost never scroll horizontally but instead need the vertical space…

Thankfully I have been switching to Zen Browser just earlier this week :) I am very happy with the UI and ‘firefox backend’ (I get addons from here, not the highly censored google chrome webstore.)
