We are losing #knowledge, at an alarming rate. 😲

You know those #postapocalyptic stories where machines are chugging along doing things, but the humans have no idea how they work anymore? Well, yeah, that'll be us.

Real World Example: When I ask the internet 'How can I do X on Linux/Windows?' what I DON'T want is endless 'Install tool/app/distro which does it for you' answers.

It's like no-one actually writes down the basic steps of anything anymore. We're doomed.

I'm currently saving all the collected links to local files. I'm just wondering whether it wouldn't make more sense to organize this development via @Codeberg. This might also make it easier to find collaborators. Whether #software is developed or #knowledge is built up probably doesn't matter to #Codeberg. (Or?)

I'll take a closer look at this. Experiences and tips are welcome.

Very good article about Parkinson's disease and the influence of pesticides on its development…

“We don’t ban parachutes after they fail, but that’s what we do with chemicals. We wait until people are sick. […] The science exists, the evidence has accumulated. But the decision to intervene always lags.

It’s not that we don’t know enough, it’s that the system is not built to listen when the answers are inconvenient.”

Wandering Hermit

We were talking yesterday about encyclopedias, and it brought to mind the "See also:" section, which was the pre-internet predecessor to the hyperlink.

I'd look up something in the encyclopedia, and read the article. At the end there would be a short section starting "See also:", listing (possibly) related subjects.

I'd then look up one of those subjects, read the article, and at the end find something interesting in the "See also:" section and repeat the process.

I could spend a whole day doing this, at the end I would have learned a lot of fascinating things about a fairly random set of subjects.

At no time during this process was I begged for a donation. No one asked me to create an account or enter my personal data, and there were no ads, pop-up or otherwise.

Not everything is progress.
