Interesting fact of the day: While Native Americans never developed the metallurgical knowledge to create steel and iron themselves they did in fact have steel and iron tools long before contact with Europeans.
What happened was drift iron, from asian ship wrecks, due to the current, would often wash ashore along the American north wast. This would take the form of nails or other iron pieces embedded in wood (thus being capable of floating. Native Americans had no idea where this iron was coming from or how it was made, but they did recognize its superior quality as a metal compared to the sorts of metals they typically had access to. As such the Native Americans in the north west would typically harvest this iron and forge it into tools.
To me this is just so extraordinary because they had no contact with outside peoples at this point and had no idea anyone existing out there across the ocean. Yet they kept finding this odd metal they had never seen and must have known it wasnt natural as it was shaped into a nail or a winch or something. So I can only imagine the fantasies they came up with about where it was really coming from, especially considering that it was far stronger and could be made far sharper than any metal they had ever seen. It must have seen magickal to them.

@freemo where I live anyway, masks are mandatory in inside public spaces, and now also outdoor if you do activities with someone else not from your bubble.

@freemo well, for the mask part, I think it’s reasonable to not let someone enter your shop if you don’t wear a mask. Mask are effective to protect you and others and I see it as completely normal to want a safe shopping environnement for everyone involved, that is, of course, unless someone has a condition preventing them from wearing masks, but this is a rare occurrence.
Ive heard something about double masking, in that you should use a disposable mask and a reusable one on top, but from what I hear about local authorities, it’s that it’s best to use a disposable mask. Triple masking is a big no no as this can actually cause respiratory problems.
It’s really a shame google is removing the installation for service workers who do not have a fetch handler. I had no problem using my app offline when it was on the cache, but apparently it’s no longer enough, and have no idea how to implement a service worker that fits whatever google wants.
I liked the concept of PWA because of the supposed freedom from any corporation to develop what I want, but I guess the lesson I’ve learn is don’t chose a platform from the perceived freedom and lack of interference from big corporation because there will always be a big corporation in the way.
Luckily I have a SwiftUI app on iPhone and iPad and Mac, and I am looking forward to learning Jetpack compose for Android and react / react native.

@freemo this is an interesting point ngl. I think Europeans, especially in Nordic countries are more prone to respect health measures because they are better educated than in America
@Franz google and Siri tells me it’s actually 12°C in Montréal
@Franz how come ? It’s only 6 ºC in Quebec City
Facebook shows no respect for us and it’s sickening

@louiscouture I kind of agree when we talk about Americans.. thing is in europe I'd say thats largely not true. They arent super smart or anything, but they are reasonable enough that it really shouldnt require force.
Even americans not too long ago were ok, but now they have gotten so damn stupid they are self destructive. Problem is if you do force them to do whats "right" the person determining what is right tends to be just as idiotic as they are.

« Good ideas don’t require force » yeah no it’s bullshit.
People are dumb, only a few are acting rationally, we just can’t expect to blindly follow what is best for society. Some of them just don’t understand what even is the best to do. It sucks to recognize this, but forcing people to do something can be necessary in some circumstances.
We needed to force companies to stop literally putting trash in mattress.
We needed to force train companies to adopt security standards or trains will cause damage.
We needed to force companies to own up to the chemical waste they made and stop polluting our waterways
We needed to force people to wear seatbelts, and believe me some people opposed it.
We need to force people to wear masks in public spaces
We probably need to force people to get vaccinated, unless a medical condition prevents them. #covid19

@freemo @lewlepton@mastodon.social I totally get the appeal but I don’t like having to run command line to run a program nor not having access to important software Like Adobe connect
I’m full, guess this is all going to trash now!
