Orbituary

Yeah. No ads on my regular stuff. My PS4, which I stream with, still gets ads.

We? What can “we” do about it?

I can’t tell if this is a paid-for article by OpenNebula or what. It reads that way.

Self hosting? I just grabbed Element X Matrix client from F-Droid. I run a TrueNAS setup at home. I like this idea and will be researching it over the next few days.

Signal is my preference. I am not going to go around proselytizing to people about it, though. I typically respond and use text as readily. It’s not my job change people. I just change what I’m willing to say openly on any other platform.

(My head-canon also figures there’s some other alien race out there who would think our dumbest people are super-geniuses.)

They’re called Floridians

It’s called Android.

Maybe that was me.

Went to the pharmacy to get a box of condoms and they asked if I wanted a bag. I said “no thanks, I’ll just turn out the lights.”

I considered that and it was part of my early stands: IF i had a kid, I would adopt since there are so many without parents.

Just like Millenials and Gen Zs, my life is hard enough to pay for financially. I don’t know that I could provide something positive for a child. I need to be honest with myself about this shit.

I was/am instinctually driven to want them (a feeling I mostly disregard), but given the state of the world and my own financial situation, I can’t say that I want to force any intelligent being, especially one that is my offspring, to suffer through a lifetime of this shit like I have been forced to so far.

This is interesting to me, as I’ve never had the biological urge to have kids. I love them and enjoy hanging out with them, joking, playing, etc., but never my own. In any case, I commend you on being resolute.

I’m currently in a long term relationship, and we’re planning on signing the papers next year, so soon I’ll have someone I can legitimately call my wife. She is very much on the side of “never have kids”. So that’s my decision as well.

My girlfriend doesn’t want them either. She’s a good deal younger than me - 31 years old - but she says something similar to me: raising kids in this world would be a tragedy.

Frankly, I’ve always felt there are too many humans. I never understood the push for more. Just maintain or reduce the population naturally.

Good luck staving off that biological imperative. I feel lucky not to have it myself.

I’m Gen X, but cusp with Millennial. I said at 15 or 16 I’d never have kids & stuck with it. I’m more resolute than ever & feel like I would have massive guilt if I had caved. I felt the world was too fucked up back in the 90s. I wonder how my younger self would deal with the world today.

Excuse me, what?

I believe Syncthing has been discontinued unless someone else took up the project.

Uh huh. So, it’s not really funny if we have to guess like you did.

Why is this even funny? Am I really this fucking out of touch?

I’m pooping just fine right now without one.
