Honestly I've seen some attitudes and articles that "housework isn't exercise" and... I'm guessing such people don't do much housework? At a minimum, it could often be a lot of walking, which is fine low to moderate exercise.

Have you ever found housework (or chores) to be good exercise?

In the public domain software world I still mostly only see PDOS and various TempleOS related projects and forks

There seem to be a growing number of unmarried people today who may have been brought up to view their purpose in life as being tied to having a family, and they may be getting too old to have kids (in the case of some unmarried women for example).

How can they find a sense of meaning in life without a family?

I have trouble wrapping my head around this, due to the understanding that a person could dedicate their life to God and live as a celibate as like a monk or priest or nun if they don't marry, and I feel pretty content with the idea of being married or single or in some religious commitment.

But this seems like it may be a growing problem for other people who do not share my outlook and I was wondering if people have ideas on how these people can cope with the issue.

Hello friends, I have been thinking about the defederation issue

I have a satirical post in mind for the subject but a different topic came to mind

what if instead of defederating, a "soft" defederation could be activated, where content basically is not served to users unless they opt in to it

So like say "shhhhhhitjust.works" instance activates "opt in soft defederation". Exploding Heads posts stops showing up on the instance, but users could still navigate to shhhhhhitjust.works/c/freeforum@exploding-heads.com and choose to subscribe and then stuff would show up

This would allow admins to be able to not promote content they agree with, while allowing users the ability to still interact with content they might approve of agreeing with

thoughts or has someone proposed this already?

we could also call for a new round of soft refederation if this idea is of use to anyone

edit: I suppose I should add I'm not really advocating for soft defederations at all so much as for them over "hard" or "full" defederations as have gone on as they drastically cut off all communication
