Well if the that is case, there is no reason to compromise to have a relationship with your mom. Being with your dad is the way better option for you (since he loves you and you love him) and maybe it is the best option for everybody involved.

Still I hope you understand that at some level what your dad did was morally wrong. Irrespective how crappy things were, the correct order would have been to seek divorce before hooking up/dating somebody else. Learn from the mistake he made.

OP you have given us way little information. How was your parents marriage before this blow up? Were you not close with your mother before? You mention you are close with your father but nothing about mother. Also were you upset or angry by the actions of your father? From the information you have shared (that you are staying with your dad and his mistress), it seems that you are not bothered by what is happening.

Now based on the limited information you have given, your father is clearly the guilty party here. He did something that is morally wrong. Hopefully you understand that. Your mom is very hurt and must feeling betrayed (slightly even by you because you chose to stay with your dad and his mistress). In that emotional state, she is making a unreasonable request to you (to go no contact with your dad). If you want a good relationship with mom, you will have sit down with her and reach an understanding and compromise with her. Maybe you can go to therapy with her like some other commenters suggested. One thing I am sure about is that if you side with father on everything, you will end up estranged from your mom.

Again the latency might be not better for fiber. But the difference is small and the other factors are much better so the experience with fiber is a lot more stable .

I do not expect most people to know that non visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum is also similar to visible light. But on technology community on what is a niche enthusiast heavy platform (Lemmy), I expect people to know better to than to upvote something that is blatantly wrong.

This has got a scary amount of up votes, especially considering that this is the ‘technology’ community.

Radiowaves are also ‘light’ and infact as many others have mentioned so eloquently, light travelling through air is faster than light travelling through glass. The reasons why fiber is better are - better stability because of lower packet loss and interference, better efficiency because of lower attenuation and losses due to diffusion, reflection, and other processes when traveling in a fiber optic cable, and more bandwidth because we can use more favourable frequencies in optic cables (@[email protected] explains it perfectly in another reply to the parent comment)

Can’t his boyfriend drive the car

Nope. I don’t hate anyone.

You just condone members of your government hating vast groups of people by voting for them. Doesn’t seem like the actions of a loving person

Which is why decentralised open source platforms are very important.

There was a reply from the official proton handle on mastodon doubling down on the Andy’s take.

Companies are going to shit more quickly these days

He went after big tech as a punishment for fact checking the bullshit coming from his administration and his followers. That was it.

This exactly. We have to remember that the stricter moderation policies on several of the big tech social media platforms had got trump banned from them. At that time, trump was incensed with them and had promised retaliation. That was the only reason he was going against the big tech companies.

Now that all big tech has turned away from democrats (probably as punishment for their antitrust lawsuits), we will see a much different perspective from the Trump administration.

Exactly. Lina Khan bought several cases anti trust cases against big tech but they were thrown out by the republican biased courts. Hell republicans even tried to hound and harass khan over the cases she was bringing

Vance, the U.S. vice president-elect, has said antitrust officials should take a broader approach to antitrust enforcement, and praised the work of Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan

Reading this confuses me greatly because republicans, especially Jim Jordan from what I remember, have been harassing and preventing Lina Khan and the FTC from taking action against big corporations.

Hell if she is doing such a great job, why fire her and replace her with a snake whose views are the antitheses of Khan’s outlook.

Quite literally in this case

This was common in budget laptops 10 years ago. I had a Asus laptop with the same resolution and I have seen others with this resolution as well

Dude what the fuck. That is scary. And here I am trying to somehow convince my friends to join signal.

By the way which state do you live in¿?

It’s true Indian government has banned Element and other Apps and forced Signal, WhatsApp and other such apps to have a local representative so that they can arrest someone and force their will.

Wait what! When did this happen. I live in India and just saw the element app on the play store.

They started going through chats on traffic stops, but there are ways to avoid that also

I have also yet to see this but then again this seems like something the conservative (read authoritarian) government could do

This study is for 2021-2022 during the peak of COVID and is not indicative of the current situation. While we still have to be vigilant, accidents, murder and especially intentional self harm should be way more concerning

Dude UI (and anything to do with looks) is always a subjective thing. Some people will like it and some people will hate it. I know every dev wants their UI to be loved by everyone but that’s a fools errand as there are always people with opposing opinions. What matters is that that you like what you have created. Also know that there are people like me and many others who use photon daily and love the design. Don’t let subjective opinions get you down.

Damn. You have my respect.

safe at home behind a screen.

You have to define safe here. Investing in starting a business, even one involving sitting behind a screen and writing code, involves a appreciable amount of risk of losing your money. In no way is that person in a position of safety.

I would actually like to see if gen Z are more risk averse when it comes to participating in adventure sports - mountain climbing/rock climbing, skydiving, rafting in fast flowing water, etc
