Do you think it's feasable in general to terraform a planet? As far I know (and is not that much) the consensus atm is that it would take a gargantuan amount of resources and we could never afford it

(this was one of my most passionate topics a decade ago or such, I may be outdated)

@SPRENGLARF
No one is blocking, a silence has been set, and the political opinions of anyone were completely irrelevant here

@galacticstone @Myriam centuries is not that long actually!

A few years ago I thought that not being able to even draw a cloud was a very silly limit, and decided to try to get past it - and see how long it would have taken me.

Here are some pictures, from time 0 (before starting to study) to around 20 hours of studying and trying.
Feel free to laugh at my time 0 drawing, it's ridiculous, I know. I'm still bad at it, but it felt good to overcome a mental obstacle. Oftentimes, it takes less than one may think!

@freemo Sure, no problem, thanks a bunch for the help!

@freemo I see, those are... interesting design choices. How much memory are we using right now? I though couple of GBs would have done for it

@freemo thanks for your reply! I thought that docker install was the preferred way, do you mean that you had to hack the docker files?

How much memory are we using atm on qoto?

Hi @freemo , a small question for when you have time: how did you find discourse so far, in terms of maintenace?

I managed a phpbb community, I'd just like something where I do not have to mess with the code, and I do not have to put the whole community in standby when there is an update as some plugin will likely break.
Is it giving you many headaches, so far?

@Rado1 hope you enjoy it =)

#podcast Wednesday: You are not so smart is a brilliant podcast about the research behind decision making, biases, how people change their minds, tribalism, how you fool yourself and confabulate post hoc reasons for your behaviour and more.

Personally, I'm a long time fan and it changed my perception of my self in a decisive way. Way more humble about how sure I am about my ideas.

Give it a shot!

@freemo

Do you think we could wait until @alex is back in town to proceed, so that he can check what's what and give us his opinion?

Hello all,
I was quite busy today and didn't pay attention to the matter here.

I have to say that I follow some people from spinster (2 accounts) and I enjoy them, never have found problems there.
Now, I see there is a problem with a single user - and with how the mod are deciding to deal with it, that is fine.

But couldn't we take a couple of days to think this through? This all problem seems quite easy from here.
I think (hope) that @alex and @mk obviously want to protect their users, but also would not want a block.

I'm asking to the spinster mod, can you just keep an eye on that user and if he happen to tag freemo again proceed with, idk, something?

@Surasanji @freemo

Smilodon. It's awesome.

@Surasanji @freemo

Sure, sure, I don't intend to stop anyone!

@freemo
Do you think there is a need for a fork? Couldn't we just work something on top of mastodon, to make it easy to mantain, or proceed without technical measures, mostly with social contracts?

@Surasanji

@Downes is webcast the same as podcast? I didn't know that...

#podcast Wednesday. It sucks there is no weekday or even month name starting with P.

Evolution Talk is a podcast, who'd guess, about evolution.

Rick coast is pretty a passionate host. Even if the topic was well known, like convergent evolution or natural selection, I had fun with the trivias and the anecdotes.

Oftentimes the topic has however been new to me, like who Robert Chambers or Diderot were.

To be frank a few episodes are a bit devoid of real content, but seemed to me like the exception rather than the rule.

@imnotafeline First 2 episodes were actually pretty nice!
