This was my thought as well. I’m not against ads though, but there has to be some limits to it.

Me too! I was drinking 0% beer while writing this post. Some are really good. And now that I haven’t drank in years, I actually often double check the label if the beer really is 0%. It’s weird.

Yeah, I think this is how it is. I think I’m appearing weird even though people probably cares less than I think. I guess it is why I wrote this question. I’d like to know how people got over this phase and stopped worrying. Blaming health complications feels somehow dramatic… but maybe I’ll use that one if someone really pushes and it’s half true in my case anyway.

My friend circles do not really care, or at least I hope they don’t. Most of my friends drink very little as well. There was some semi-awkward discussions about alcohol politics at some small parties when I decided to stop altogether, but I think that was that.

This is so interesting. I’m not in a relationship now, but if I was and my partner would like to drink, what would I do? I don’t know. I don’t really want to rule out potential partners if they enjoy some drinking. So did me being alone this time make me go from one beer to zero, or would I have gone to zero anyway.

I would not sing up for Meta run instance, but it is because I don’t really trust it will last. In a big corporate scheme of things, it is an experiment and can be killed anytime because it is really nobodys passion project to maintain. So I really doubt a Meta run instance will be better than a multitude of community run instances in the long run.

But yeah, I’d sway for defederate. Meta is a corporation and it’s intentions are what they are. It’s not “fair” but also its not like Meta is comparable to another community in the fediverse.

KeePassX(C?) both on Windows and Linux. I used the windows version KeePass2 but there was a recent security vulnerability in it so I switched to KeePassX. Maybe it’s already patched… auto-type doesn’t seem to work in KeePassX on Windows so I might switch back but it’s not that critical.
