I fear you may have misread my intention in comment; nothing nefarious intended, it's about the "no updates to this app for years" which can equal "security issues unpatched" for the average, regular person. You did not disclaim the above details in your OP, you are NOT a normal user and had I known that I would never have commented.

All the other replies tiptoeing around this - OP, your son has hormones raging in his body, he's going to masturbate a lot. In my opinion and I'm going to be blunt, maybe focus on:

• letting him know it's normal for all this hormonal activity, masturbation is OK and not something to be frowned upon or ridiculed (well unless you two joke a lot which would be cool). In fact, as he starts to go out on dates gently suggest he rub one out before the date to calm his hormones the F down, which leads me to...

• he's gonna get boners all the time, it's just a thing that comes with all those raging hormones. It can happen in unfortunate places and unfortunate circumstances (8th grade science class wearing stretchy shorts? SURE WHY NOT), so as a mom be aware this could be happening but he of course doesn't want to say anything to you. Ignore or treat it as normal (or again, bust a joke if you're tight like that).

• teach him to respect his partners and not be just letting his hormones take over and he wants to stick his dick in everything. This is I feel something is missed on all "sex ed", to me the biggest part is not the physical act but the negative emotional results if he lets those hormones take over. Hetero or gay doesn't matter, it's all the same - your partner has feelings and be aware ("don't be an f'ing asshole").

I'm of an age these days, but man I wish someone in an adult capacity had covered the above when I was a teenager. Instead, growing up with repressed catholic type parents it took me way, way too long to grasp the above on my own.

Side comment, I find it more ... interesting? (concerning?) they have "essential apps can't run on 14" which to me is sort of a red flag event for those apps. $0.02 we're up to 15 mainline with 16 coming soon, relying on apps stuck back on 13 never updated would not work for my conscious.

...and as solutions we have many companies who will do it all for you for $5/mo (more or less), the cost of running a basic cloud server. My time and energy in making sure my email is "always good" is worth paying $5/mo to let Fastmail handle the chore. $0.02

Honestly, I live in a timeline where we have openly corrupt Supreme Court justices like Clarence Thomas in our life. It is my opinion they will choose their own personal enrichment over the actual fairness of a situation. Dropping a case admits you were wrong and these folks don't want to be seen as making any mistake in judgement, it hurts their careers and personal enrichment.

The broken thumbnails over here have re-fetched (I don't run an instance to know how this works in detail), those broken yesterday in my screenshot above have self-healed and all (past) thumbnails looking great! thanks.

Everything you just posted for 18 Feb just minutes ago shows up fine over here, so it's... random. :-/

@m_f@discuss.online - seeing a lot of broken thumbnail pulls from lemm.ee -> discuss.online, there might be some server instance rate limiting going on. Did not happen when posted via sh.itjust.works by Seb etc.

Sunaraus (lemm.ee owner) has a thread about this somewhere in the lemm.ee Meta section, the broken thumbnails means the lemm.ee server could not grab the source image to generate a localized thumbnail of it for the post listing. Rate limiting between servers was mentioned as a frequent cause.

(this breaks the webUI Lemmmy experience for users such as myself who click the thumbnail to get an inline full image, a broken thumbnail causes the image to open as an external link instead)

Emphasis mine:

The reform eliminated the word “currency” when referring to bitcoin, but says it is “legal tender.” Despite the lack of clarity, it lifts, as required by the IMF, the obligation to accept it in transactions or debt payments, a key condition for it to be “legal tender,” according to economic analysts. With the change, “if someone owes you money and wants to pay you in bitcoin, you can refuse to be paid in bitcoin, but you cannot refuse if it’s legal tender,” economist Carlos Acevedo explained.

...

A recent survey by the Central American University (UCA) revealed that 92% of Salvadorans did not use bitcoin in their transactions in 2024.

“I used it and didn’t like it… Very complicated and risky. This is not for an employee who barely gets by on their salary,” Juana Henríquez, a 55-year-old nurse, said, saying she had tried to make some profit and instead lost money.

nod the point was (in fun) to exemplify not doing what the GP comment to this thread was talking about; here we have a positive example of a user creating a single space to post any/all of their "niche" (eye of the beholder) content, rather than creating tiny communities for each interest. It was a light-hearted comment "see, like this". :) (disclaimer: I'm subscribed)
