  • I tried Pop!_OS alpha1 with Cosmic Desktop and I even if the general software quality is still what you might expect from the first alpha release, I was impressed on the high-level design decisions they made with Cosmic. As a sway user who would like a bit more structure and hand-holding in my desktop, I think I’m gonna like Cosmic in a year’s time.

    I thought the level of discourse has increased sharply since lemmy.world got along, and the effect of lemmy.ml’s somewhat extremist stance has lessened. It’s now possible to mostly actually talk here without blocking half of the whole network.

    So I would be perfectly ok with dropping lemmy.ml from the rest of the network. But I’m guessing that goes somewhat against the overall philosophy of the whole thing? I don’t suppose the idea of federation was to create even stronger bubbles.

    Jiu Jitsu, a rather traditional method. I’ve practiced lots of things over the last 3 decades, and have now landed on this because there’s a lot of good people practicing it.

    What I like:

    • it has a bit of everything
    • judo throws are fun

    What I don’t like:

    • wrestling / grappling, never liked or been good at that
    • kicks are pretty practical, no fancy acrobatic stuff
    • no traditional weapon (staff, sword, nunchaku, etc) techniques

    I suck at martial arts, but I’ve done it for so long that I’m sometimes able to fool people into thinking I’m not bad.
