It's been two and a half years since I switched to "floor living".

I have a lowered desk, sleep on a thin futon - and have no back pain at all.

If you experience back pain, your too soft mattress could be the cause.

What are your thoughts on this lifestyle? 🤔

„If the Social Web isn't just for nerds, why are we saying stuff like this to newcomers:

Okay, so the fediverse is like, a bunch of interconnected servers, all talking to each other. They all use the same open protocol, so the whole network is interoperable, and anybody can self-host their own new server whenever they want. You can get on the fediverse through any server. We call these servers »instances«. If you wanna join fedi, you can just go to this website and pick an instance to sign up through. All the instances are referred to by names like mastodon.social, because we like to use domain names for some reason.

(...)

We must keep this in mind when trying to sell the Social Web to people. Normal people don't know what »federated« means — they didn't watch Star Trek, they just think you're a cop. Normal people really don't know what a protocol is, or what interoperability means. Stop talking like this. I also don't know why we're using the word »instance« to refer to servers. Server is literally easier to understand even for tech people. Even better than server would be »site«, which is the terminology that I tend to use.

Here's a better explanation of the Social Web that actually communicates the idea to a normal person:

The Social Web is like social media away from Big Tech. Instead of being a walled garden where you're trapped, the Social Web is like a bunch of different social media websites connected together. You can pick any site to sign up with, and then you can follow people who signed up on other sites too, so it kind of forms one big network, or online space. If you wanna sign up, you can make a Mastodon account (Mastodon is like, one of the categories/types of sites on the Social Web) at this website. You can use the default option, or pick a different »instance« (site) if you want, too. It doesn't really matter which site you decide to sign up with, since you can always change your mind and move to a different one later.“

Beautiful poem in Interlingua.

"..., an international language. It extracts the common Graeco-Latin vocabulary present in today's languages.

Here is a translation of the poem:

The sky is a canvas
painted only in gray
Raindrops dance
that haven't yet fallen

Little by little
the first drops come,
slowly begins
the percussive struggle

Furious drums
I hear from the roofs,
lying drowsy
in a disheveled bed

The air is full
of the scents of the earth
and my mind of thoughts
that spin and wander

When rain falls,
I whisper your name
and behind the gray sky
I see a light

Leaves bend
with heavy drops
The earth is a mirror
that reflects birds

The fragrance of firs
and of fresh grass
fills the soft
picturesque ground

Clouds – the poets,
write ethereal verses
and winds carry them
slowly to you

I open the window,
hear celestial poems
and perhaps your voice
from the distant forest

But suddenly, in the distance,
the thunder, a brilliance
The lightning wrote
your name to the sky

When you return,
summer will return
Still in spring
I remain abandoned

Little by little
the rain ends
and I say your name:
Kalini, Kalini"
