@freemo Indeed! Some of these olive trees have been sitting here for several centuries :)
I always thought that helicopter parenting was when your kid screwed up, you take 'em up in a helicopter and tell them that if they screw up again, you'll push 'em out.
I know it's very much frowned upon nowadays, but I've resolved to adopt a “helicopter #parenting” style with my children.
That's when one jumps on a helicopter and flies away as far as possible from their #kids, right?
@niko hey, what happened to the old service `https://bird.nogafam.es/ID/rss`? Moved, or discontinued? Thanks!
@digital_carver Fixed. Thank you!
@freemo My bet: he blocked you, or this whole instance (or his instance blocked ours) because you are obviously a right-wing supremacist who runs this node where incels threaten the identity of minorities.Or something of the sort.
@freemo OK, I trust your judgement, so that's good to know about that person.
A list of #podcasts I (try to) listen to — or have listened to in the past — in case it's useful to someone out there!
@freemo That's [Aral Balkan](https://ar.al/). He's a #freesoftware advocate and a fierce critic of #surveillance, and I follow him and often agree with him about those matters. We seem to disagree _a lot_ about politics and economics, though. He's quite opinionated and blunt in his commentary. That said, I have _not_ seen him engage in name-calling, abuse, or any other objectionable actions of that sort. But who knows. 🤷♂️
This is just the kind of nuanced and balanced commentary that really helps move discussions forward 😏
Al paso que cambia la noticia, el titular de mañana o de pasado, fijo:
Y aunque han tardado en llegar: ¡ya están publicados los vídeos de #esLibre2021!
Unos 80 vídeos con más de 40 horas de sobre #SoftwareLibre, #HardwareLibre y #CulturaLibre.
Al igual que el año pasado podéis encontrarlos todos en #WikimediaCommons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:EsLibre_2021
👏👏👏
In the 🇺🇸 #US, in 2021, #men represent only ~41% of #college students ([source](https://collegenews.org/women-outnumber-men-in-us-colleges-nearly-60-of-students-in-2020-21-were-women/)). #Women have been the majority of four-year college graduates ever since 1982.
Yet what is the debate and the media reaction (if any)? To denounce that **“men with college degrees have become so cocky that they’re ruining romance for their female counterparts”**.

(When in university, it was less than 20% females at my college, yet somehow at the time I missed all the headlines about those arrogant women playing hard to get…)
