@stefano This post is touching, and I can easily transpose all what I've read, with the 20yo past-me . It was a different time, when everything was yet to be built, and the pace of change in our lives was slow enough to be taken into account without causing too much worry. This is the part I miss the most : being allowed to slowly adapt to change. Nowadays, everything is so lightning-fast. I too wouldn’t want to be the 20yo me in the present time : I wouldn’t be able to keep the focus to important things and build myself properly. These are the words of a father observing his 15yo (and 10yo) and not understanding how he will succeed in building himself in the whole swarm of stimuli from information/entertainment/notification sources. Silence and boredom were foundations of who I become, this is not longer possible for the current generation. Gosh, I’m an old man already.

@EnigmaRotor I agree.
There’s a lot of FOMO today. "Startup" culture is widespread and is creating instability, and I’m not talking only about the IT world.
We used to have some fixed points we could relate to. As you say, we could adapt (more) slowly. Today, I see young people who are afraid they won’t be able to keep up with the new "trend" and are scared of being left out.It’s a strange world, and yes… maybe we’re just getting old 😉

Potere o Cooperazione?
Il Sindaco di Trieste si è rivolto alla Consigliera con queste parole: "Non mi sono mai fatto comandare da una donna, tanto meno da te."
Non riusciamo a liberarci di queste persone. Ce la faremo prima o poi?
E ce la faremo a fare un passo avanti considerando la cooperazione il vero strumento con il quale costruire i nostri presenti?

@jongary I thought the Supreme Leader had banned comedy, so probably not.

Is there any tui fedi client?
Would be fun to have a thing like that, and would probably make me more picky about alt text
