TIL #erlang / otp comes with wxWidgets bindings. From what i've seen so far it actually fills in a lot of the annoying gaps that i've seen in other languages. Like the event system connects very well to the established actor model..!

Lost Forest Gardens of Europe
"In the hills above the Po river in N Italy, there are a handful of #farms that look almost the same today as they would have 3000 years ago.
There are rows of short pruned trees, with fruit-laden grape vines festooned between them. The trees are common natives that produce #fruit, firewood, #basketmaking materials, & #fodder for farm animals. The grapes are ancient cultivars that have been grown for millennia. Between rows of grapes & trees are diverse plots of cereals, hayfields, vegetables, & herbs. In a single field, one can find all of the staples needed to live & support the farmstead. This is a resilient system modeled on a #forest. Unlike monocultures of grapes or grain, diversity is the strength here. Disease outbreaks & unseasonable weather have a limited impact. If one crop has a bad year, there are a dozen others to pick up the slack. Designed to last millennia & that is what they have done." https://www.shelterwoodforestfarm.com/blog/the-lost-forest-gardens-of-europe#The-Continent-Wide-Orchard #permaculture #agroforestry

"The DMV’s order of suspension, which TechCrunch has viewed, states that Cruise withheld video footage from an ongoing investigation, prompting the agency to suspend its permit. "

Pretty crazy how "these self-driving cars are failing in all sorts of terrible ways" and "these people are deliberately working to deceive regulators" always seem to involve the same companies, that's so wild, what a weird bunch of coincidences.

The Luddites were not anti-technology and their permanent cultural association with a reactionary anti-technological ideal is one of the great propaganda victories of the capital class.

An update on the project and what we're working on next!

@reconbot @remi yeah, you could say that being able to act like an adult in a company that is in a constant state of infancy is the main benefits age.

If enough people learn how to do something, it protects those that don't know how to, this is known as nerd immunity

@babadookspinoza And not to mention more than one firearm for every person in the country.

@babadookspinoza Do as we say, kids, not as we do.

@babadookspinoza Violence is how you get people not to ask the question in the first place 😅

@ActionRetro - because I know you love a bit of #HaikuOS

Full stack developer, as in "my stack is full, please don't try to push anything else or my behavior will be undefined"

I had to register on codeberg 😩⚡️☠️🦷🪿

And they often ask me: “Are you lookin’ for the mother lode?” Huh? No? “No, my child, this is not my desire” And then I said “I’m digging for the time when you could report bugs over email like God intended.”

The way people have been hazed & chased off of Mastodon (for being a li'l shorter on their journey towards the intersectional FOSS left that we all agree they must quickly travel on) is an even bigger problem than the (not insignificant) technical obstacles.

But, as a believer in technical solutions to social problems, that's also why I want smaller communities and smaller timelines so people can start in smaller groups while still connecting with their friends across the fediverse.

I always wonder what goes through people's heads when they write replies like this.

Like, do you not understand what "microblogging" is? Do you not understand how your content management tools work if you don't want to see things that I write?

You aren't even challenging me factually, you're just saying you don't care. Well, 1) I don't care about your opinion 2) I _do_ know how to block

Mate, what exactly are you hoping to accomplish here other than getting blocked and possibly reported?
