  • Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024

    Jump

  • Anyone interested can find (usually free) externally hosted freshRss and TinyRss hosts on the chatons website. Select one of those in the "based on" drop down menu.

    I've tried both and like neither. As far as I can tell, they only have a small number of apps. And none of them work offline. With a regular RSS reader you can refresh it when you have internet access, then everything is available when you do not. Like an email client or any other such software.

    But it might be suitable to you. So check out the chatons.

  • Lol the hastag in the video "#equalrightsforallrefugees". Like i dont think anyone is worried about the discrepency of rights among refugees.

    Looks like some people trying to hussle funding for themselves.

  • Gender isn't real: it's just an idea

    Jump

  • If this was a correct idea then there is no need for anyone to transition because their gender isn't real anyway.

    This is not a toxic idea if you stay here temporarily on a path to somewhere else but it is actually anti-trans so try to move on to the next brain wave.

  • I wonder if @Kamirose@beehaw.org might be thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer

    Reimer was an identical twin AMAB who was raised female due to his penis being mangled during circumcision. The gender was then reassigned as female and the infant had surgical procedures done to align the body with the new female gender. The case was overseen by John Money who made a lot of hay over it, publishing all about how this proved gender was a purely social construction. It was a very famous case study. Ultimately Reimar he felt himself to be male and transitioned to male as an adult. However he was very screwed up by the whole thing and my understanding is his death by suicide is attributed to this whole series of events. There was a lot of weird stuff.

  • Bored With Bash? Change the Default Shell in Linux

  • Ive been using zsh for most of my linux time cause it is trendy.

    Im actually planning a move to bash. All else being equal, i prefer gpl-style to mit-style. (Tried fish didnt like it.)

    Dyk the "monopoly man" illustration was created by the grandparent of the original developer of bash? And was uncredited by the company who owns Monopoly until a relative publicized this recently.

  • Supreme Court shoots down a Conversion Therapist's Challenge to Law Banning Conversion Therapy - The New York Times

    Jump

  • “This case is not the first instance of the Ninth Circuit restricting medical professionals’ First Amendment rights, and, without the court’s review, I doubt it will be the last,” he wrote. “This court recently reversed the Ninth Circuit’s decision to uphold a law compelling crisis pregnancy centers to disseminate government-drafted notices.”

    Uh "crisis pregnancy centres" in the US context are usually sham medicine covertly religious anti-choice situations pretending to be a low rent planned parenthood. Doesn't anyone know what is being referred to here? I am guessing the "government drafted notice" may not be so heinous but idk.

    first half of the first sentence of the first paragraph and already we have dumb bullshit. This is what happens to 99% of everything submitted to the US spreme court. Rejected.

  • I'm sure it's fake on principal. First of all, the subheading:

    Washington State, like more than 20 other states, bars licensed therapists from trying to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of minors in their care.

    NYT shouldn't be publishing such misleading headlines but @Wahots@pawb.social why are you repeating their misinformation?

    I am less than 50 words in. Still time to be proven wrong.

  • Codeberg is a free/nonprofit hosted instance of Forgeo. Forgeo is a fork of Gitea created by Codeberg about a year ago when the governance of Gitea changed suddenly.

    You can selfhost either Forgeo or Gitea.

    There are other hosted instances of forgeo and gitea also available.

    Gitlab is a hosted instance if gitlab.

    You can also self host gitlab.

    I assume there are other hosted instances of gitlab tho i cant think of any off the top of my head.

  • How to keep all email locally in a useful format that can be searched across devices?

    Jump

  • Honestly i could live without fast. If its a text file there is always grep, ripgrep, silver searcher etc. But there is nothing in my deleted email demanding immediate attention. Any situation i forsee would accommodate waiting hours or days. I was kind of hoping to continue interacting with it in a webmail kind if way because piling up too many new things for something i wont be working on regularly is just asking for a mess.

    The mutt/notmuch proposal is a solid solution for the right person. To me, learning like 5 new major tools just for one project is a big risk. I played around with this stuff a couple years ago and failed at creating even a simple setup to do regular mail stuff. It is absolutely not clear.

    So i might try one if the intermediate solutions mentioned elsewhere. A solution that digests mail be acceptable as an addon extra.

  • How to keep all email locally in a useful format that can be searched across devices?

    Jump

  • Oh no!

    This kind of tool needs to be something you can rely on if it's to be used in the way I am intending. If there is a master copy of the mail (as it sounds like you are working from) it's not as big a deal as you can always go back to that. But if the application is relied upon to be doing its job, possibly in silence for long stretches, it can't just combust.

    I am not sure I really like the word "database" in this context. I don't understand them and I can't fix them. Am feeling that maildir, where each email is simply a text file, should be the primary storage. If there is another tool that can index or interact with the maildir then that's handy, but the mail itself should stay in a plain, interoperable filetype. (Unless that is how mailpiler works? I might be mis understanding.)

    I also see that mailpiler encrypts everything. I do not love that. My hdd is already encrypted. I do not want things further encrypted because it also means I am unlikely to be be able to fix any problems.

    I think this application is too complex for me. I need something that I can easily administer. Hopefully set up and leave it to be for a long time and not have too much to relearn if something needs to be fixed. It is perhaps suitable for a more advanced user/admin.
