Why is insert any thing so complicated in Windows compared to GNU + Linux?

I see no reason why we can’t have both.

I don’t remember the quote directly but it’s somewhere in the area of that;

We have gotten so used to living in the shadow of annihilation that we’ve forgotten to fear the constant threat of global destruction that nuclear war is.

This podcast really gave me some perspective on that.

Had not heard of this. Seems like a viable solution so I can finally migrate all the family photos from Google Photos 😓

Pretty sure that’s AI generated.

I found it a bit strange that their “Follow us” section didn’t have a Fediverse link. I expected a Mastadon user or something.

Might have been trained on synthetic data created by ChatGPT.

As much as I dislike Google I feel you really made a decent suggestion here.

“The world’s demographic structure passed the point of no return twenty to forty years ago. The 2020s are the decade when it all breaks apart.”

Peter Zeihan, The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization

 

A concept which aligns nicely with Solarpunk. 🙂

Recently, I've been playing a fairly complicated character and wanted an easier way to navigate all the myriad spells available. I had a certain system in mind, and a quickness that wasn't available from the source site. I used an already compiled list maintained in a Google Sheet by Kyle Dixon to export to a TSV, then a couple of lines of JavaScript later, and voila! The perfect web frontend for all my spells.

Check it out here: https://sturlabragason.github.io/spells/

And it's available under an MIT license in the GitHub repo here:

Stumbled onto to this while looking at some art by https://dwdesign.tumblr.com/, specifically the album art https://www.instagram.com/p/CofGC50oaPE/.

Was not disappointed.

 

So I've spent a bit of time over the past few years trying to reason my way trough society breaking away from our capitalist overlords.

Let me try to summarize some of my thinking as simply as possible; you start a second economy, one founded using Blockchain technologies and algocracy, with an utter focus on human welfare and ensuring resistance to tampering and unjust accumulation of power and wealth. You siphon the global population over to this new economy effectively stifling the old economy where the totality of the 1%'s wealth resides and is therefore rendered worthless.

The above is by no means a complete summary and there are a bunch of other concepts loosely associated with this such as environmental sustainability, transhumanism, degrowth, fostering small communities etc.

I've written about DACs, one of the components of the above here: https://sturlabragason.github.io/blog/2023/07/04/Decentralized-Autonomous-Communities.html
