Dear fedi people, maybe it’s the heat or the stress or Slop or the world itself, but the timeline is transforming into a twitter/X/F(ck)B like social meltdown, that is disproportionally negative and depressing. The planet still turns round. Bad news and indignation and awareness to madness happening in the world are legitimate. But it’s okay to take a breath and think of the positive things around us, once we take our noses off the screens. The internet feeds on our despair at a time where we just need memes and some silly thoughts. The slop, and gigallionaires and media can wait. They don’t deserve your immediate attention. They don’t deserve our permanent and continuous anger. Those who can’t rest can’t fight (and life shouldn’t be a permanent fight). Spend some time with your loved ones, have sex, hug a tree, make music, invite your neighbour for an aperitivo, cook a meal… Read a book that has no triggers in it, or a dozen. It’s hard at first but worth it. Or chill for 1 hour. Worst case scenario, if you really feel bad, find an old computer and set up a fresh Debian install. It will be a breeze and an opportunity to re-enjoy the wonders of compute. All problems will one “sudo apt” away from being solved. If you play life in hard mode set up a BSD or Arch box… or build your own OS (depends on your orientations). The most important point is enjoying yourself… at the speed of your processor (if you are into this kind of shit). #hugyourcomputer I found the picture below. I can’t go to the beach everyday. But it’s fine.
