@joho This is very interesting and I looked at it myself in the past. I think the idea of a small, sqlite (?) backed mastodon "light" platform is excellent!

If I would not be worried about fine and the lack of freedom of speech in europe, I would probably run my own instance.

I'm a bit curious about GoToSocial, in particular because I want to host a few Fediverse/ActivityPub instances myself, and GTS seems to be a bit less resource hungry and supports "backports" of past data.

Does anyone have experience with the GTS platform vs Mastodon? I'm not interested in a "flame war", just objective comparisons.

@Dan_Ramos Ahh... so is gaming decreasing on windows? I thought gaming and office work were their last 2 strongholds. Very good if at least one of those is decreasing!

Collection of essays about the philosophy of life that various academics choose for themselves and why. Covers aristotle, stoics, epicureans, various religions, and modern isms such as existentialism and pragmaticism.

2 ouf of 5. The essays are too short and lacking philosophical rigor and argumentation.

The book comes across as a collection of commercials, and lots of wokeness from about 70% of the essayists.

You're much better off just taking the table of contents and researching the

Two quick book reviews:

1. Materialism - A Philosophical Inquiry by Brown and Ladyman.

Short, excellent introduction to materialism. Starting with its ancient roots in india and freece, 2500 years ago, traving its development until todays physicalism.

4 out of 5, and shows beautifully how religion is not the answer to the question of what exists, but science.

2. How to Live a Good Life: A Guide to Choosing Your Personal Philosophy by Massimo Pigliucci , Skye Cleary

I had goat for dinner! It was disappointing, it just tasted like lamb. I thought it would have some weird character or taste, but it was just like lamb.

@apropos Yes, it does seem as if the democrat should be able to win the midterms by simply not saying anything at all and just sitting there.

What I am wondering about is if they will insist on some woke SJW for president, repeating their previous mistake, or if they will elect a white heterosexual man, 50 years old, who's mission will be to basically again not say anything controversial.

Time will tell!

@surfhosting Don't forget the increased tracking. Modern electric cars are surveillance nightmares. =(

@apropos JD Vance I think comes off mostly as Trumps little lap dog. I don't think he is the future of the republican party.

@Dan_Ramos I think they are working toward their own linux based on the ship of Theseus methodoloy. Expanding WSL until one day, they knock out the last filthy part of windows, and then we'll have Microsoft Linux.

@hopland Ha... you got crushed by the Trump of economical theories. And you don't even realize. This is hilarious. Please keep sending me memes, little omo! 😘 :Glowie:

@hopland Thank you, an excellent description of the omo-style I juts encountered. Yet another win for me! 😘 🇮🇱

@hopland You will learn, eventually, when you grow older. 😎
