Some do, but it’s both sides. It’s especially prevalent in the Israel/Palestine complex, where polarization is strong. People name themselves Antisemites and Zionists and are most of the time unable to have a rational discussion. I hope this clears things up.
Is it really like that or is this a joke
Cocaine is connected to so much pain and suffering in this world, it’s one thing one should really abstain from in my opinion
That is pretty impressive!
So let me explain what my motivation is… I am not so much interested in origin. I don’t feel any connection to the ancestors I do not know, which starts with my great grandparents. I don’t even know my grant parents, however, there is a bound through my parents, who were brought up by them. So their character, how they see their world etc. is influenced by my grand parents.
Now, this is limited to my grand parents, we are speaking of a period of roughly 100 years. What about the ancestors before that time? My family tree is mostly made out of dates like you said, baptisms, marriages, deaths. A huge list of more or less random people that have nothing to do with me.
However, I am using these people to tap into the historical contexts they were born in.
My family is entirely made out of day laborers in Germany. There are a few masons, but most of them day laborers, the lowest class you can imagine. Usually, when you study history, you are looking through a certain perspective. In Germany this will most likely be counts and dukes, aristocracy, wars, territories etc. - but not so much about the poor people. My genealogical research is basically opening a new window for me, to view history from another perspective. I collected an extensive collection of literature about the weirdest little villages and stories you would never even have heard of, if you’d just follow the “traditional” way like history is taught in schools.
I hope this explains it a bit!
That’s why I said roughly. The genealogical concept behind this is Ahnenschwund or pedigree collapse.
I am doing Genealogy as a hobby and in most of the lines I am in the 18the century, in some in the 17th century.
What I learned during this hobby is a simple thing - the more generations you go back, the more ancestors you have - the formula is 2^n. So if you go back 10 generations, you have roughly 1,024 ancestors.
Now imagine how many descendants these people have? I have met plenty of others nerds who are also doing genealogy, cousins by 7the grade and so on. There is always some dude doing this stuff, so I am pretty sure there will be one in the future.
Of course I can only go back about 300-350 years, but we people today are leaving way more traces on this planet than my ancestors in the 17th century.
But where do you find the right one fitting into your microwave
I mean instances are typically run by volunteers, the sh.itjust.works admin is a pretty nice guy as far as I know. Report it in their main community and see if they can fix it. I don’t think this should be infuriating, things like these happen in the fediverse. But yes, you are always welcome to PieFed, although you might experience other issues you haven’t before.
Same for me, locked bootloader is basically useless. Fortunately, from 2027 batteries must be replaceable in the EU. I guess it may have an impact on other regions in the world as well.
No. But I would love a replaceable battery.
The game “The Root trees are dead”. Great game for nerds who like puzzles
I am well aware where LineageOS stands against Linux. But my point still stands - LineageOS has no focus on privacy and AOSP is under threat, again.
LineageOS without “Google junk” is useless for 95% of the userbase, as they miss out very basic features Google outsourced of AOSP, such as Network Location Provider, Push Notifications or even an app store. I am not even talking about Play Integrity.
The privacy, security and simplicity of Android is really top notch.
maintains foss replacements for the Google proprietary ones
Not true, see Play Services
Yes but open source development for Android is made harder and harder every year by google, just look at the ongoing sideloading discussion. A working real Linux based OS for phones would be the holy grail. LineageOS is great and I am using it, but for real privacy you need a lot more.
Just came here to say that I love how engaged people are with their hobbies. Keep going!
My dad was 47 when I was born and he always said he was too old to become a father that late. Also in my view, he was too old. There is a generational gap between us that just can’t be bridged (he was born during WW2, I am a millennial).
We never understood each others worlds. It does not mean we did not have a good relationship and this is highly individual and subjective. People called him my grandpa when I was a kid (I didn’t care). The only thing that is brutal, is him dying too soon. I am very glad he is still around with 80+ and I had the opportunity to graduate and standing on my own feet. But I know it will happen very soon and I feel he should be around for longer. It’s unlucky he will never be a grandfather to the child I haven’t even had time to plan yet.
The arch Linux mailing list?
I am sorry to hear what happened to you. I hope you find out of your personal hell. Sometimes it’s better for your health to distance a bit from social media and their doomer memes.
For me it was the entry point, I heard everywhere it is the “beginners distro”. That was about 4 years ago, now sentiment changed and people are recommending Mint instead.
