I think it’s less to do with the traits themselves and more to do with the person and how they’re perceived. As other people have said - people get more of a significant impact from role models they can identify with or look like them. There’s so much room for role models of all types, but if we’re thinking about masculinity specifically, so many young men and boys only have masculine folk in their lives who, for example, don’t share their emotions - and this pattern affirms the idea that it’s not ‘manly’ to be vulnerable.

More people who express themselves in a ‘masculine’ way modeling these positive traits show other people with similar identities and expressions that it’s possible (and good) for them to do it, too.

I’ve been using it for the last week and really enjoy it - I’m on an m1 air and asahi is so much snappier than macOS, which is saying something because it still sings!

There’s a few key hardware features still missing - mic, speaker, and the thunderbolt port (so hdmi and external displays) that are preventing me from driving it fully because I do a lot of presentations at work, but it’s quick enough to boot into mac when I need to.

Occasionally there’s something that doesn’t want to run on arm architecture, but there’s usually an alternative - and it sounds like 4k paging is close.

Give it a shot! I’m invested cos I wanna hear more people’s take on it 😅

Oh yeah that’s a good idea actually - I use fastmail too and I don’t mind its UI, but I guess I could also play with its css to make some changes!

This is great, thank you - I’ve been leaning towards mutt or neomutt, but this looks like a great solution!

I've recently set up asahi linux on my macbook - it's been probably 10 years since I last seriously spent time using linux, so I'm real out of the loop! I've been playing with hyprland and really enjoy it - its approach to window management and productivity is feeling really instinctual, which I love.

With that in mind, I'm on the hunt for email clients on linux - I'm open to trying a good few, because email is my bugbear and I'm invested in finding something that really works. Something that makes it easy to process them would be great - and if it's customisable in terms of looks, even better!

I had a similar experience recently - picked up Pulsar because I was getting uncomfortable with VSCode’s telemetry. Found it a bit tricky to config, and then had trouble with atom packages that obviously haven’t been updated for a few years now that are a bit out of date. Switched to vscodium instead!

[–] jennifilm@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Same - had exactly this problem. I’m not exactly sure if I found a real fix in the end, it just eventually inexplicably started working. Think I tried changing ram slots and having to change some options in the bios - might be worth trying there as a start!

This looks interesting - I was an early notion adopter but haven’t used it in ages. Have you used affine yet? The demo leaves a lot to be desired on mobile at least, but I’m going to keep an eye on it!

[–] jennifilm@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is great, thank you! I’m deep in vscode but trying to get away from Microsoft and the ethos behind pulsar looks great!

As someone who is pretty much always on the hunt for a better email client (bane of my existence, honestly) I’m excited to see this. I gave it a look today and the new design is such an improvement, but still a real adjustment to use from other modern clients. I’m going to go give it a good shot but I’m quite a visual person, so style and design has a big impact on usability for me - has anyone got tips or recommendations here?

It’s so interesting seeing the discourse on fedi about threads and meta - like I absolutely think it’s the right call for so many instances to not federate with meta because they for sure will be scraping user data and it will be a moderation nightmare, but this article raises a really valid point. Federation is almost a harm reduction approach for so many users who aren’t so privacy aware and are keen to be connected to their friends and family on threads.

I’m not a fan of the fedi superiority complex we so often see - people who use meta products aren’t a monolith, they’re people just like us, and a huge majority of them simply aren’t aware of the privacy implications of meta’s approach, or it’s not a huge priority for them.

 

I’ve just set up a matrix homeserver after the one I was using ran into a few issues. I’m looking forward to setting up some bridges and bringing a few chats into one place, but I also know there’s so much you can do in the way of extensibility and integrations. I’ve had a read around but would love to hear from anyone who’s using matrix for anything neat and nifty!

I've been an ios user for 100 years at this point, but used to be deep in the android scene before then. I've just got an android for a work phone and am wondering what's changed in the last 10 years - what are your essential apps, settings, customisations? I've had a hunt around xda but can't seem to find much in the way of roms for my model (Samsung A04) - back in the day it seemed there was a thread for every device!

What do I need to know?
