Añádeme, Nexus (soy malísimo, y además hace una buena temporada que no juego; pero si dentro de una década vuelvo y aprendo, igual no soy un aburrimiento 😅)

Hoy andaba jugando en el metro a Chess.com (la app) y un chico me ha visto y me ha preguntado el nivel y me ha pedido que le añada en la app para jugar juntos. Cosas que pasan en el metro.
Cheers, mate. Don't sweat it; it's just a curiosity of mine.
(There's inflation worldwide, we have to look at the data to know whether the UK suffered more, and earlier, than other countries.)
Fediverse:
do you know of a reliable, robust study or paper out there analysing how the 🇬🇧 #UK feared after #Brexit (discounting the impact of #covid, of course)?
I was wondering how quality of life (in the broadest sense) improved or worsened there because of Brexit. Life expectancy, mental health, productivity, real purchase power, unemployment, GDP, crime, etc.
We've seen in the media infinite anecdotes and minute data points — in both directions; I want something painting an unbiased, comprehensive picture instead.
Cheers!

Do you think you have the right to phish someone back who tried to phish you in the first place?

Dear EU, could you please stop trying to kill end-to-end encryption?

OK, but literally just going shirtless, right?
I mean, think of all possible attires a man could wear at a camping site, street basketball court, beach, swimming pool, or hiking path: which of those a woman could not realistically wear, too (excluding: shirtless)?
I'm thinking culotte, saggy shorts, tracksuit, tank top, regular T-shirt, trunks, bermuda shorts… that's what men wear, and women can (and do) wear all of those.
Now, women: G-string, bikini, really short shorts, skirts, navel-revealing top… you don't see men wearing those in swimming pools or outdoors, except for laughs or as parodies.
I'm not denying that women suffer some pressure to dress in certain ways. I'm just saying that men suffer _greater_ pressure to dress in certain ways. Surprising as it may sound to some.
A woman wearing saggy shorts and a saggy T-shirt at the gym (typical male attire) incurs a smaller social penalty than a man wearing a tight culotte and a navel-revealing tight top (typical female).
@barefootstache Men are less free than women when it comes to dress codes and habits. I've written about that. eg, [here](https://medium.com/@tripu/sexismo-14b43afaa1a7) [in Spanish]

- Es intolerable que esta plaza pública de debate que es Twitter esté en manos de un millonario.
- Podríamos pasarnos a Mastodon, que es descentralizado y 100% Software Li...
- He dicho intolerable.
- Pero...
- INTOLERABILILE.

Puedo entender que haya gente a la que le moleste que Twitter vaya a estar en manos de un millonario. Lo que no me cabe en la cabeza es inviertan tantísimo esfuerzo en quejarse (¡incluso en TV!) en lugar de promocionar Mastodon.

@slanted I think many of those features are available on Feedly too, perhaps with a paying subscription.
@slanted hum, nice! I might give it a go.
Stopping? No way! I'm stubborn about giving very difficult books a chance. That strategy paid out already for me with other bores/drags which revealed quite good in the end 😊
You should be defending Proust, the master of the French letters! 🇫🇷 😜
Volume III of #Proust's “In Search Of Lost Time” feels like lost time indeed. I'm barely one fifth through it and I can't see the end. It feels like I've been plunged into it for a very long year. Directions of use for some medicines are more thrilling than this.
…so far.
@ignaciodenuevo@octodon.social, parece que @CSIngobernable y tú teníais razón en denunciar que el desalojo de #LaIngobernable fue efectivamente ilegal:
I didn't know #Inoreader. I've been on #Feedly for a few years now. Do you know how they compare? I don't miss anything on Feedly (that I know), but if Inoreader is better, I'd switch.
Ditto about #Reabble: never heard of it. It looks very cool, and it'd be the kind of service I'd use… but I reserve my #Kindle for #books only — otherwise I only read blog posts and long essays online 😕
A tip, maybe useful for others:
#Substack is great. But #email is definitely a crappy way (at least for me) to find and read (a small subset of) my favourite thinkers' posts.
This has been nagging me for a while.
I just confirmed that Substack publishes #RSS #feeds (just append `/feed` to the “home” view of any publication). So I'm unsubscribing from almost everything, and adding the feed to my #Feedly instead.
@koalie 😆 You nailed it.
