Disease usually results from inconclusive negotiations for symbiosis, an overstepping of the line by one side or the other, a biological misinterpretation of the borders.

  • So, the term Fediverse basically refers to the ActivityPub protocol and the associated server software. Technically, it’s not just ActivityPub, but also the AT protocol and nostr. Another layer to the Fediverse, at least in my mind, is having some federation. Meaning Bluesky isn’t apart of the Fediverse, even though it’s built on the AT Protocol, because of it’s isolation. Since there’s no interaction with Lemmy, Mastodon, PixelFed, or other federated social networks, it’s not part of the Fediverse.





  • Based in my limited understanding of psychology, it’s about role reversal. Meaning, they are in a position which gives them quite a bit of control in their day-to-day life. This is why in the show Billions, the DA of NYC is into BDSM. He has a level of control over others that’s quite immense. This over time leads to him enjoying being taken advantage of in the bedroom. But again, I’ve only studied a limited amount of psychology, and the rationale behind each person’s choice to be dominated will have some variation, as it’s psychological. But this is the general idea behind the Dom/Sub preference.






  • Stallman’s attempt to rename Linux to incorporate the GNU name not happening was frustrating on his end it seems. Everytime someone calls their system a Linux based OS and not GNU/Linux based OS downplays the work he put in. However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated. It’s said Stallman is a visionary, while Linus is a programist. While there’s never been any display of tension in a back and forth between them online, it’s always seemed to me they appreciate and also despise various aspects of each another.
