If you watch the full video though she's obviously "opposed" to the critique she's getting from the judges (the note), as she goes full Carrie on them in the end. The other girls celebrate her for it. My takeaway is that the pressure put on women is the men's fault, and women want to be free of it.

And I'm guessing the contents of the notes are real comments she's gotten over the years, not self-written notes to her current self. I don't see how you can read it any other way than this video being about revenge and freedom.

That said, I agree she looks sick and needs to heal from all of the pressure put on her. Obviously it's affected her a great deal. But I can't help to read this video as a means to get there, like public therapy, sort of.

I've been here for a few years. There are waves of them. If something bad's happened over there, or some federation post has gotten a lot of attention, and a bunch of users migrate, this place is more Reddit-like for a couple of weeks until they either get accustomed or go back.

Guix (pronounced "geeks") is like Nix (declarative, functional, atomic) but more Emacs (niche, lispy, Free)

For the herpes virus, yes. But you might have introduced bacteria when you tried to pop the virus outbreak. Your infection might have been bacterial. It sounds likely even, from your post.

OK so imagine this: a place where public transport is effective, highly valued and prioritised, and runs 24/7, and where people in need (poor, sick, unemployed, elderly, etc) get a free transit card so they can go to healthcare visits, look for jobs further away from where they live if there aren't any nearby, visit friends and family etc without worrying about the transit costs.

Is that not worth aiming for? Worth building? Compared to cars, there's all of the benefits and none of the drawbacks.

Now imagine you live in a place like that and someone replies to you online, saying basically "you're romanticising, I don't have good public transport so I don't care for it, and I'd rather be stuck in a traffic jam than in a train delay anyway". Really?

Flickboard is also worth checking out if you like this style of typing. It's on F-Droid.

The dev compares them like this in the README:

Why not MessagEase?

It's proprietary, and suddenly started requiring a subscription.

Why not Thumb-Key?

Back in the day, Thumb-Key didn't support MessagEase's more advanced gestures like circles and U-bends.

They do now, so this section is mostly historical, but FlickBoard's detection might still feel different, in ways that people may or may not prefer.
