@RoundSparrow is there a region you are confident only had conniving theiving civilizations earlier? I want to know the scope of your scepticism.

@Nazani
That was the case in pre-invasion India (the jajmāni system) ... People learnt their parents' trade at home, shared their output with others, had shares in others' output, no money involved in daily life.

@RoundSparrow
Ate you talking about the humans in Europe? Or are saying humans the world over in various civilizations were conniving thieves?

@mathiasx I’ve always been a big fan of signs - on trails or historic buildings. I think a community wiki might include important places or plants in the community and the history of their significance. I like to think of it like putting residents and visitors on the map both physically and historically. Perhaps that’s getting out of the scope of what you had originally envisioned, but it excites me. Otherwise, community “businesses” - where to eat, get a window fixed, walk a dog.

has anyone already made a captcha meme that asks the user to prove they're human by selecting all tolerable candidates, showing the pictures of harris and trump side by side?

There seems to be basic incompatibility between the author's expectation ("magic" memory safety) and 's stand (no magic). There is only one way that goes. And if memory safety got Rust into the Linux kernel, there is no other language that could have anyway. Maybe it has appeal for the or for or for .

Running #chatmail servers is <2h effort per month, according to an ad-hoc poll with 10 operators responding. Some have 10Ks of #deltachat users. Typically 300MB ram is used and max 60gb disc space per server. And all interoperate safely based on high security standards (DKIM and TLS enforced, and only no-metadata #openpgp encrypted messages allowed) .... with typically 0.5 secs end-to-end delivery. Who said again that email is insecure, cumbersome and slow? :)

This website refutes many of the invalid accusations against Richard Stallman that were used to cancel him. It's the result of careful research from a rational and objective standpoint. It shows the truth, backed by the testimony of conscientious and thoughtful people. We invite you to explore it and join our efforts to give Stallman's visionary voice in the free software movement the space it deserves.

Disgusting? Now it's 16, and with France, Italy, Germany, Portugal... it used to be
the same as Spain, yet no one said any bullshit like you except EagleTM Prudelandia.
Maybe the US should learn a thing or two. Oh, btw, you are the ones allowing 16yos to
drive a huge chunk of metal not giving a shit to the rest of drivers/pedestrians.
Which is scarier. And don't let me start on guns...

@report_press@mastodon.social Can I also just say that personally attacking people through an anonymous report is also a very lame thing to do?

Hello again,

I've been out of the fediverse due to technical reasons with the server I was previously (castilla.social) and wanting to leave the social media for some time.

Now, I'm back at a server, which I hope it ends up being more stable in the long term.

My interests are:
- Software development, with particular interests in #Prolog, #Emacs and #Rust
- History about all periods, although my favorite topics are contemporary and pre-Roman cultures.
- I'm learning #Chinese. I'm still a newbie, so don't expect a lot.
- Bikes (I usually post photos with my trips), trains, planes and also cars
- Videogames. I've grown up with games like SimCity, OpenTTD and similar. I also enjoy racing games and some action games are fine too.

I also have a website and a blog (mostly in Spanish): https://adrianistan.eu and https://blog.adrianistan.eu

@YakyuNightOwl @CptSuperlative currently reading this. It tells a very different story from the Hollywood version as well. A lot of unnecessary sacrifice, mass murder, desperate attempts to hold on to colonial interests and practically zero concern for local or indigenous populations. And that's just the allies. For me, Palestine and the Middle East show that none of the above has gone away when it comes to the morality of the US, Germany and most of the West and they're about to do it again.

@peterbrown @gerrymcgovern @jgkoomey Hard to see a system that celebrates the acceleration of the destruction of our own habitat as anything but a death cult.

@GreenFire
That "imported" technology has been seen to be useful, but there are plenty of traditional techniques too.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @OhWeh @prestontumber @gerrymcgovern

@GhostOnTheHalfShell
German institutions have been financing big organic agriculture promotion programmes in India, I assumed it was to generate food for Germany. Its nothing fancy, just going back to traditional practices disrupted by chemical agriculture. I am not sure local populations will get that good stuff as exporting is the lucrative option.

If by "civilization" you mean states (as in all the examples you gave), then perhaps so.

If you mean human society, then no.

A lot of early agriculture was done in flood plains where nutrients were regularly replenished by natural systems. Different cultures found many ways to do agriculture sustainably. Many shifted back and forth seasonally between farming and hunting/foraging.

We're just lately learning astounding things about the ancient Amazon: there were far more people and vast, complex infrastructure, than we ever realized. They had ways of creating amazingly fertile soil that we don't even understand yet.

In North America, European settlers found intricately maintained environments that supported both humans and biodiversity in sustainable ways. They did not discover a continent laid to waste by agriculture.

@gerrymcgovern I suspect that water would be more efficiently used if they poured it right on to the servers in the picture.

@kenshirriff Very interesting graph that of course raises more questions. :) I am glad you didn’t use a logarithmic scale. Do you have the data to easily create a similar graph zooming in on the 0-500 million pixel to the full width of the graph? Again, not logarithmic?
