I am excited to add the Maps app to our #nextcloud instance, seems like a very interesting app!
Also, I added the Tasks app to sync with tasks app. you can find a great FOSS one on F-droid called, creatively, Task

Upgraded everything, and a reminder: as of now new users must sent a DM to get an account, as the register app is still not available for newer nextcloud version

I like my open-minded friends.
It make me laugh when they are ready to take a fight to defend the women's right to choose what to do with their bodies, or empathize with the difficulties of someone from a different ethnicity, but are ready to punch you in the fucking face for putting pineapple on a pizza

I'm out of mainstream social media since 2012. I'm considering joining Instagram now, to follow some musicians I like. How is the social media world atm, fellow fediverse?

Reviewer 2: go fuck yourself! A recent article to test the wide belief that Reviewer #2 is a uniquely poor reviewer.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ssqu.12824

Some nice highlights:

Reviewer #2 is not the problem. Reviewer #3 is. In fact, he is such a bad actor that he even gets the unwitting Reviewer #2 blamed for his bad behavior.

What is worse is that Reviewer 3 seems to be a crafty cretin

He or she is able to do this while Reviewer 2 takes the blame . This seems like it is the ultimate jerk move.

#science

That's what #nuclear #engineers think about #biology

so registration app is not working in #nextcloud 19? Weird

can anyone recommend me a #startwatch ? Possibly something with an open source android app, or at least it shouldn't require googleplay services as I don't have it (I have lineageOS).

Cheap.

Thanks!

#til that kicking a ping pong ball around the house is an harmless and satisfying way to express frustration

Today I had the idea of writing my life stories, not really for publishing or even showing others, more to gather all the documents, pictures and memories around a series of stories, and having the chance to go back to places and ask questions to people I haven't spoke to in a while, even since I was a kid.
After that, I could even take spin offs into #genealogy

Has you done or seen something similar? How was the work structured? Any suggestion?

#biography

Can anyone help me with #nextcloud ?
When I share a folder with others (they do not have an account) is there a way for them to get a link to a specific file in that folder? For example, they upload a pic and want to get a link to that pic only

I'm so lucky to live near many beautiful places

Naples, Marechiaro, air is so clear that feels like looking at the landscape in HD

One of the best #book I read in a long time: The Mating Mind, by Geoffrey Miller

George Miller is a professor of Evolutionary Psychology, and the main thesis in this book is that our astonishing mental capacities come (mostly) from sexual selection.

In order to prove that, Miller takes the reader in a trip around the history of the theory of evolution, especially of sexual selection of course, and I tell you: I've done multiple exams on Evolution, Miller is the one who really gave me a good idea of how, how much, when and what sexual selection is all about.

It's packed with juicy, easy to chew paragraphs like how we think the courting worked in the paleolithic, what are the current hypothesis about the origin of the mind, why Wallace was after all a creationist (he denied sexual selection and thought the soul was given to us by a god), and so on. And in some moments I laughed hard, the guy has a razor-sharp humor.

The case he makes lacks evidence here and there, by his own admission, but frankly I'm sold on this hypothesis now.

I totally recommend it, a beautiful read

#psychology #evolution #biology

By now I have read enough articles to say that: the most attractive #bmi
in males goes from 23 to 26 (which is technically even overweight), and it's not a normal distribution at all.

We also have difficulties understanding our own mating value, which is absurd from an evolutionary standpoint. Especially since we humans have more mutual choice than many other animals, one should have kind quite an accurate estimate of its own attractiveness to attract the best it can. Looks like it's not the case.

One thing I wonder without having an answer though si whether IQ is correlated to an error in the self-estimate of the mating value, and if so how much and in what direction.

I'm kinda screwed anyway (no pun intended), I may as well explore all the areas I'm failing in this sense

Today was the first walk in the nature with friends after the long lockdown. I felt quite depressed lately, I was psychologically proved, but a single day around made my mood so much better!

I'll post some pictures to make you part of it, #plants #animals and #ecology

The habitat was either #mediterranean forest, dominated by Quercus ilex with some human planted pines, or sand dune #habitat, which is a beautiful and fragile ecosystem that I think should deserve more attention.
More details in the caption of every pic.

If you feel down, go for a walk in a park, take pictures of weird plants and animals, open a bit to how marvellous this living things are and feel free to tag me

It's been a while since I listened to a really entertaining and educational #podcast , but I stumbled upon this show 2 days ago and it's awesome!

History On Fire is an history podcast, by Daniele Bolelli who taught History for many years in California.
He really manages to take some interesting happenings in human history and make them even more intriguing. I am just coming out of 3+ hours of story about the slave rebellions in ancient Rome, with direct historians quotes and curiosities here and there.

You just have to get past his very thick Italian accent (his English is very good, it's really just the accent) it's a really nice podcast.

Tomorrow I'll do a full day without internet. May seem like a silly simple thing, but I haven't done it in months and with the lockdown I went way too much into it... I need a break.

I'll let you know how that goes =D

I've tried #bravebrowser in the past couple of days... well I imagined worst.

Basically is just like chromium, with the notable exceptions of having adblockers and trackers built-in, Tor in the anonymous mode and the whole crypto/BAT thing.

All are very appreciated, and if you don't care about the rewards of tokens and such it doesn't get in the way at all.

I didn't really need the ad block and stuff, as I already have extensions for that

So far is promising, I may even switch for good
