this is self-hosting local-first apps. There’s some local-first manifesto somewhere… one of their greatest ‘backend’ developments were CRDTs. The idea, is that the app can be turned off, synchronization can be interrupted and resumed, and so on. Those CRDTs allow people to use a text editor even when the client(s) are disconnected from the server. Of course, depending on how much your version differs, the merge conflict of diverging versions will be easier to solve…

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.

I understand it. I have emigrated like your sister, only that my relationship with money is not the standard. Given the terrible inflation, I was used to live without any savings… I was making 500 USD per month, and spending everything. Some (poorer) friends perhaps only liked me because of that. I think it’s not like I was buying their love or anything… just didn’t mind. Tried to be quite stoic/ anarchist about it. But then, that’s me.

The standard (capitalist) way to go about money is that it’s yours as your soul. It’s an essence. You don’t share. Unless when you do a gift (e.g. birthdays)… And, even couples split tabs. Also, the standard (patriarchal) way about money is that Males pay. So your brother in law is just spitting the misery cassette.

We (commentators) can blame all we want on this people. It won’t make OP feel any better.

OP: I think that a difficult talk with your sister and/or brother in law is due. Perhaps even a letter (you can also ask someone else to proofread/ help). Tell them how you feel… That way, they’ll know why you are not visiting so often. If they are really shitty about it and get mad or anything else other than comprehend, then that’s onto them.

PS. Do they have kids? I am an uncle, and my niece is in another country. But thankfully, since I emigrated, I have a not-so-dissimilar salary to my brother so I can plan holidays together… I’m actually looking forward to that. It will be our first.

• 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.

since we’re stretching the concepts, how about being inhuman for failing an actual captcha? :P

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

Ah, I saw this term in the past. Never understood, I could barely see the relationship to US elections. And, I’m a complete alien to the sophisticated methods billionaires use to sustain their US dictatorship, but it seems to me that this only works because of some “given” stuff like having only 2 parties, and having electorates… Disclaimer: I don’t want to bother that much into understanding this, like going through lengthy articles on the web. But will definitively read your answers (thanks!)

on second thought, these “winners” all look like coming from The Stone Age :p

TIL some people eat the skin… I even skip eating chicken’s skin :P

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

yeah… I don’t think that can be the “general rule” (e.g. law perspective) since socially men already have a lot of power… But I take your point as logic and fair: For sure, if a couple goes in that discussion, and he is clear that he won’t help at all, and she still goes along with it… then okay, maybe there’s some fairness to the situation. Specially if she knows, and can handle all by herself (e.g. has some rich parents)

Anyway, I think the “her body her choice” motto is more about rape victims… so, I believe you are just stretching the situation. Saying “his wallet, his choice” is way too much. Sounds politically incorrect in all ways. Penis and Vagina had a consent, in your example, and that should be: her decision for abortion. You want to extend it to his decision on being present… (or, asking for the abortion.) I think this was a given until recently. Parenthood tests are available, and having a judge ‘force’ such thing is relatively new for ‘human history’ (thousands of years without it.) anyway… I am just ranting by now. tl;dr I don’t agree with you but whatever we are just random people on the internet.

Why not meeting up in a park or anywhere with some attraction to kids? They will still need and have attention, but at least they’re not crying. Perhaps she should pick the place, if you communicate assertively about it…
Unless you were 1oo% sure you don’t want to be anywhere near kids. Then, that’s it…

PS. Do have an pre-made excuse to leave early in case you find things unbearable at some point :P

Ha! You got me there. I was just about to complain that none mentioned slaves, then saw the comment that did mention them (together with aliens) which is (imho) even worst than ignoring their suffering… but here you are, making my day by reminding me that those slaves had a “fair” (/s) pay for their suffering-work :P

Is that a dragon larvae? Do you know how long does it take to fully metamorphosize into actual movie-like fancy dragons?

Plus, “where was the father? huh??” I understand they could’ve separated, but he still had responsibilities towards this baby. So, only if the journalists had confirmed he was deceased long ago it would make sense to make this omission… but they should said so.

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…

OP: if you manage to get the will to do this, please come back and tell us how it went! I am sure as hell we all want to hear the story however how trivial it may be.

+1 I use it to on all of my devices for sharing 1 folder, just set one as introducer, and keep adding nodes (e.g. phone, Work mini, laptops, PC, …) Once you have that set, start adding folders as needed for specific cases (e.g. a folder shared among all mentioned except for Work mini.)

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
