Hey, could you please take some pause between posts? Your content is good but this is a small community and your posts are taking over it and the instance front page, which is a bit spammy. Hope you don’t take this the wrong way, just limit yourself a bit, thanks!

Sending the best vibes your way!

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, for those interested in finding out more about the place

Yeah, I have a w3.1 machine and I play with it regularly, but it really lacks as a daily driver. On the other hand, my w98 machine can do basically everything I need for work, except web browsing. It’s fascinating how little have operating systems progressed in the last 25 years, user-facing wise.

I choose sdf because it has typically been neutral on those regards. Let users choose whether they want to block whole instances or not. Federation is literally the word that gives meaning to fediverse, I don’t agree with the arguments who want to make the fediverse an “alternative” internet isolated from the rest.

You are right with the issues you mention, but keep in mind that sdf is not a for-profit service and is therefore maintained as such. It is a huge operation keep afloat by a few people. I have had an account there for more than a decade and there are always issues with the different services, so if you want to follow a server that has nearly no downtime you will need to find some other place. Sorry about that.

Arachne!! Fond memories

I guess it must be, because each flower is a seed, and there must be hundreds of them on each sunflower!

Yes, it is a potted sunflower from my balcony. It must be around 1 meter tall. It has a sister which is about half its size because the pot is smaller!

Memmy isn’t working for me either. I’ve logged out and in again, but requests are failing.

Let’s hope that the clients get updated soon

Thanks a lot!

The topic is very interesting to me but the video is almost an hour long with no slides. Does anybody have a transcript or outline of the talk?

I’m not trying to troll or be sarcastic. I’d really appreciate the option to skim it without having to watch the full video. Thanks a lot!

I think this is the best take. OP, multivitamins do work. Of course you need to fix your diet, of course it’s better to ingest the vitamin with the food so it can be absorbed better. Of course you should talk to a doctor. But if you have a deficiency of an important vitamin such as C or D, you will notice the difference.

Regarding overdoses, it is almost impossible to hurt yourself by taking a typical OTC multivitamin pill.

Consider some specific foods which give you a boost of the vitamin, such as canned tuna for Omega-3, Brazil nuts for selenium, etc.

But, at the end of the day, the general recommendation is that multivitamins are safe and pretty decent. I wouldn’t recommend any drug to a random person on the internet but multivitamins are fine.
