@aral I can only say: Google and RSS, FaceBook Messenger and XMPP. Nufff said. These capitalist companies only use open standards when it means more revenue, not out of conviction. As soon as they notice they don't get enough out of supporting them, they'll drop them again, leaving their users out in the cold. I find this stance by the Mastodon folks terribly naive.

@bastianallgeier I was shocked by this report, too. As a queer person, I was also worried about the bit that said that almost 50 percent find the open showing of affection among same-sex couples in public offensive. So despite marriage for all, and all the other gains we've achieved over the last 30+ years, a good portion of the young generation is very much stuck in views that I would put in the 1950, not in the year 2023. I was also appalled about the part about violence against the (female) partner.

And at the same time, in my local community, I see a lot more dads walk around with babies in trollies than about 10 years ago, when there were still mostly mothers doing this. But my area is also one where mostly people with higher education reside. But the contradiction still baffles me.

How do your boys take this competitive atmosphere in their respective kindergarden/class environment?

@chris As I am not very familiar with the climate in each state of the U.S., I have a question. Why are you chuckling? would that be a good move or just delay the problem that they’re trying to solve by moving out of Florida?

@aral Thanks! @paul

@paul Hey, would you mind adding image descriptions to your photos in the future? That way, blind people can also join in the excitement. Thanks!
