@nursemchurt Anbox is a project for doing that: https://anbox.io/ I was looking into using it for running android apps on the pinephone, which some people are working on.

Tech: importance of self-hosting email/using other providers, "mail is hard" myth, health of fediverse
An interesting, well-reasoned counter to the myth that "mail is hard", including the importance of #SelfHosting for the health of #email (if you're technical enough to run services), just like a large network of ActivityPub servers (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc) help strengthen the #fediverse:
https://poolp.org/posts/2019-08-30/you-should-not-run-your-mail-server-because-mail-is-hard/
The short version is in the disclaimer and end:
> Self-hosting mail is not HARD but requires WORK, which are two different things. Setting up a mail infrastructures requires a lot of initial work, then basic long term maintenance.
> We need to reclaim mail. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be hosted at Big Mailer Corps, but these should not become the Pavlovian reaction to “where do I get an e-mail address ?”.
re: genital mutilation, aka "circumcision"
@feld @devurandom@cybre.space @vantablack @irina Circumcision was introduced to the US in the late 1800s as a way to punish young boys for masturbating. One of the main supporters was John Harvey Kellogg. He was a Seventh Day Adventist, and they are very anti-sex. After it caught on, circumcision sort of became a tradition in the US.
My parents are christian, and they said that religion was part of the reason they circumcised me. Outside of the US, it is rare for christians to be circumcised.
genital mutilation, aka "circumcision"
@vantablack Agreed. Only a consenting adult should be able to choose to have parts of their genitals cut off. Male, female, and intersex children should be protected from genital cutting without their consent. Everyone deserves autonomy over their own body.
I was circumcised as an infant, and my skin was cut so tight that I wasn't left with enough skin to accommodate an erection fully when puberty started. Erections were painful, and my skin would sometimes tear and bleed. You don't know how someone will grow and develop when you are cutting them as an infant, on top of them not being able to consent to it.
A recent study found that 11.5% of the infant circumcisions in the US they tracked for two years were botched in some way: http://spuonline.org/abstracts/2018/P21.cgi?fbclid=IwAR2i6ihhKEzPTXABDkJbJ67nVKQZ3cWsc9gMmicPtvsSgxLymKxClMhoyXQ

I'm an intactivist, all children have the right to be protected from genital cutting before they can consent, regardless of their genitalia. A consenting adult has the right to do what they want with their own body. #intactivism #i2 #autonomy
