    I need information (not money) to help out a friend in Switzerland. [Edited to add: they are a Swiss citizen.]I have a friend in Montreux (Vaud) in serious crisis. They are considering voluntary self admission to a psychiatric facility. But there are obstacles:- They have had terrible experiences in facilities in the past.- They are on disability payments and are terrified of getting stuck with a bill they can't pay that ruins their life.Can anyone in Montreux area recommend an appropriate facility that is guaranteed to be free and decent quality?Or can you recommend where to go to get information and support for someone in Vaud who is in crisis?This is high stakes situation, I live in a different country I don't need "let me google that for you" or random speculation, I need *reliable* information from people who know what they're talking about.If anyone can help, I would be deeply grateful. #Suisse #Montreux #Vaud #AskFedi

    @Em0nM4stodon I don't know whether it's the best but my favorite such setup is a System76 Merkaat with Linux Mint Cinnamon:https://journal.paoloamoroso.com/system76-merkaat-with-linux-mint-first-impressionsThese days I would probably go with a Tuxedo device though.

    @TazPoltorak @Bfordham some toy machines cheat by only being able to make a chain stitch instead of the lockstitch used by modern¹ machines: those aren't really sewing machines, they can't be used to follow instructions designed for sewing machines and I'd recommend staying away from them even as a “starting” machine, because they really aren't one.the main issue being that the chain stitch unravels, and using it to make functional garments will require a lot more handsewing and different techniques that those used today.as the first sewing machine ever built, they were time saver when sewing meters and meters of ruffles on a 1850s dress, when you were used to sew 1840s dresses by hand, but really, sewing machine technology has moved on :)¹ i.e. since the second half of the 19th century :D

    Giorno # 14Scollegarsi non è rinuncia, ma opportunità: quella di vivere senza la mediazione costante degli schermi.Lontano dai essi nascono le relazioni autentiche.La connessione digitale è utile, certo, ma anche fragile: è istantanea, asettica, sempre disponibile, ma la vera comunicazione richiede tempo, silenzio, intenzione.Il tempo offline è terreno fertile: ci aiuta a distinguere le relazioni che nutrono da quelle che svuotano.@internet #slowsurf #digitalminimalism #digitaldetox
