We've just woken to an empty house after having a friend visit for 2 weeks and I'd love to know if a word exists in any language for the contradicting feelings of:
"Extreme relief to have your space back so you can be a feral gruntle beast again and missing someone intensely and wishing they'd stayed longer."
Gnomes use treasure maps as currency, as none of them want to walk long distances with bags of heavy coins.
Humans who use these maps to hunt down the treasure are always disappointed, as they lift the treasure-chest's lid, and find it's full of maps. This is because, as covered earlier, gnomes use treasure maps as currency, as none of them want to walk long distances with bags of heavy coins.
#AskFedi: If you are (sometimes) without a reliable internet connection on at least one of your devices, or know someone who is: if you could describe your ideal way of installing new software, and it would magically exist overnight, what would it be?
I'm particularly interested in perspectives from the Global South, although if you fit the definition above for some other reason, you can also respond! And if you only have internet on some devices or locations (eg. on phone but not on laptop), I'd like to hear your thoughts too.
(If you have not met any of this definition in the last, say, 10 years, then please do not reply - boosting for reach is appreciated, though!)
This is why we need #degrowth, so much energy and material and economic activity is wasted on shit like this that doesn't actually improve anyone's life in any way. Any challenge to economic growth gets dismissed as "you just want people to go back to living in caves" when in reality we don't need to reduce everyone's living standards to miserable drudgery we just need to stop doing this sort of nonsense
Quite apart from the gratuitous climate vandalism, I think what pisses me off so much about the #Starbucks CEO commuting by private jet is the arrogance of the assumptions that this is justified. Like this isn't an organisation trying to cure cancer or end world hunger, it's a chain selling overpriced coffee with various sugar syrups. Nothing bad would happen if it ceased functioning, its continued existence doesn't justify its CEO behaving like that.

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
