Matrix? You can setup an account on a public server without self-hosting it, then access via Linux and android clients.

XMPP as well, but I don’t know if there are public servers

Both cases you can also self host the server. For matrix, avoid synapse and use Continuwuity.

I prefer FluffyChat. Since version 2 is better than before.

Still no matrix client for android as good as any other “proprietary” chats.

Never used calls…

I have gone down the matrix rabbit hole but i choose Continuwity, which is the successor to Conduwuit after the community drama.

It’s a rust server alternative to synapse, it’s lightweight and works very well.

Fuck synapse, it’s a colossal pain for small servers, not worth it. I also actively avoid anything related to the company behind it since I think they poison what matrix could be.

I wish I started with XMPP, but now I am selfhosted on matrix, so.

I have winter snow tires from them as well. Not studded, illegal here.

They only purchased the Nokia division that made phones. Nokia is still very well alive and doing great in tons of different markets, including lumber (*)

(*) at least was a few years ago last time I cared to check.

I have no idea which part of the world you live, but here nothing of that is true most of the time.

That would be a love story between a first year and a last year student. Maybe unusual, but mostly doomed to last 3 months at best.

Indeed a 17-19 is more common, and 18-19 quite common, but I wouldnt worry too much. Monitor yes, specially if the 16yo is somebody I care for/of.

But child abuse? That’s a bit stretched.

In my experience, a 19yo male is as mature as a 16yo female… (Well, maybe, not always…)

A 16yo male would be significantly less mature than a 16yo female…

What I mean is that male and female mature differently and boys grow up later than girls. I would see as puzzling a 19yo female dating a 16yo male.

16-19? Not pedophilia. Not literally nor legally, move on.

Pedophilia means being attracted by somebody who does not show sexual maturity yet, and I strongly doubt that I the case (I have a 16yo daughter, so…). And laws, usually, have clear exceptions for similar ages people like this, as it’s expected and quite normal. I mean given how stupid males are at that age, he being 3y older alny means they are closer than two 16yo.

Are they both in school? Is there some power imbalance or abuse? Otherwise, move on and let them live their lives.

Honestly, after some time, I just started realizing how shitty reddit posts are, and specially how toxic comments and the overall environment is…

So, i don’t miss it.

The GMK seems more configurable and cheaper overall.

Beside this, there is no real difference as far as Linux support, I think.

I would raise the age to get married to at least 40. That would solve lots of broken marriages issues.

Exactly. I do agree.

That doesn’t make rape go away of course, but if I consent, well, if I can drink drive and vote, either I am a grown up or i am not, make your mind.

Don’t agree at all.

Adulthood for what? Voting? Maybe. Drinking? No legal age at all, IMHO.

To have sex? No real minimum age, but a delta age between the two participants of no more than 2 years until 16yo, 3 until 20yo. After 20yo, whatever ring your bell.

Yes I am being extreme on purpose here.

I have friends who learned japanese quite easily. Granted, they where living in japan so that’s way easier being deep into easy practice and daily exposure.

But grammar is quite easy, as well as phonetics (that actually depends on your mother language, for us it is at least).

Of course don’t learn the traditional symbols, or don’t learn how to write it at all, since that would be useless to your goal. If that is even possible I don’t know.

Disclaimer: I didn’t study japanese

Nothing phone here, stock is as close to AOSP as it gets across the board.

Not a big effort to promote your new community, eh?

But why?

I would understand a 4yo dating a 30yo maybe, or a situation of abuse of power or violence, but a 22yo dating a 37yo while unusual, unless hides an abuse of power or violence, doesn’t need you to mess with.

Let the guys live that relationship out, it’s their life, not yours, they are both of age and presumely responsible for themselves.

Yes i would…

Afterall, my governemnt already issue me an id and much more than that.

Would I use it as my only or main Lemmy instance? Surely not.

I would use it only for government related stuff and express none of my political views.

this is my own experience.
