I thought similar, but a proper DAO. Security might be an issue but it would be ideal for this project.

Link that blog!

What was the riddle?

It's good, isn't it. There are some stellar Reddit, Discord and Youtube communities forming around OE. All intertwined really. That crossover period is really understudied. At least by me. A great book is The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth, in a pseudo/shadow English about the English resistance to Norman incursion.

Good question. I tested it. 5 minutes to read it for me. Was expecting longer than the 10 but I was in "fast mode" where I selectively skipped placenames, small details I know I'd never retain without masses of unwarranted effort. I read fiction slowly, but when browsing for information I plough through texts. Do you skim read ever?

Retention-wise it still feels like I could tell you a rough outline of the article. It might help I'm a radio amateur/ham so have a strong interest in the subject anyway. Let me see, it was something like this, you'll have to take my word I'm not switching tabs (too fiddly on mobile anyway);

- invention of radio

- mass enthusiasm

- mass hysteria

- mass education (Wisconsin? I'm not American so my mental map of midwest is weak - Ohio though)

- rebroadcasts via larger station for wider reach

- I'm blanking on the outro, but now at least I know radio education was a thing over large tracts of land in the US and Australia too, but isn't this how China and Korea are making superstar teachers online now?

If the "final event" ever comes, I'll maybe find a way to keep powering the radios to entertain and educate the willing.

You're not slow, you're probably just taking it too seriously :)

Incredible lack of editing in a post on writing.

Otherwise sound advice, but of course the old tenet still applies: learn all the rules, then discard them.

Would fit well into much sci-fi writing tbh!

Or syncthing. I already had it set up between phone, pi and PC, so threw the notes dir into there. Now free to switch between desktop and mobile with quasi instant updates.

Yeah I quickly put it back post-update, but can definitely see the point.

But it already auto-hides and I rarely enter random addresses by hand on mobile so I could almost do without it if it weren't for search.

You're not wrong. I'm still very much a fan of meat, but have swapped out most of my consumption for plant-based versions. Mostly from the Linda McCartney brand. It feels much better post-meal digesting the lighter alternative and the flavour and texture is very comparable imo. The sauce and sides carry most of the flavour in our case anyway. Which is I guess why the "tastes like chicken" line became so widespread.

Haven't found a steak replacement yet, but we eat vanishingly few of those so it's not much of an issue. Will jump on a healthy, eco alternative that's full of iron though.

As it stands, I'm really not interested in labmeat. I'll just save my meat consumption for "special occasions", while using plant-based as the daily driver.

They say they could feed the world on plant-based food, if only they'd give it a fraction of the subsidies meat gets. I think it's an avenue worth taking seriously.

Also a Casio fan, having picked up a GWM5600BC Radio Controlled/Solar model in 2010. I'm wearing it to this day, having never changed the battery, taken out through all manner of wet and cold situations. I did sometimes have the problem of the battery running low in winter but switched off the wrist-flick light feature which constantly misfired under-sleeve and haven't had it since. Atomic clock updates daily are the cherry on top. Here's to the next decade!

That's cool, never seen that done before. You should write it up!

Make your link clickable if you still can. Or here, I'll do it if not: https://cbailey.co.uk/

From a British perspective, this is pretty clearly a faux-Scots interpretation for that earthy feel the author must have thought was warranted. Appropriated with all the confidence only the English can muster. I may be way off base, but those are first impressions.

> aither clear yersel' of this or stop yer living.

A few stereotypical Scots markers there. And "mony" and "mon" are Northern features from Derby to Scotland in various pockets. Dying out altogether now, of course, becoming the homogenised transatlantic factory line English we're all so excited to speak nowadays. Can I get a tea with milk to go? Cheers!

I'll take a look if you want, op. Native speaker, been writing proofreading and translating for a long time. Leave a comment here and I can get in touch.

I'd honestly be more interested to hear about the issue proposed at the end of the article.

Haven't tried it but welcome innovation in trading terminals. Something that allows python algos and indicators to be contributed, while being faster and more reliable than cTrader, MT4/5 and tradingview. That's the dream. At least from an FX perspective.

EDIT: Electron a disappointment slightly but on a Linux system I already use discord and signal, so should probably be more open to it.

Markets are not optimized for quality of life. It's one variable of many in a system evolved to coerce the many to benefit the few.

Some tips:

1. Check out the view button, top right

2. Drag the slider at the bottom, set the speed to ~x100 and hit play

3. Click objects to see "whodunnit" - plenty of Starlink objects can be seen!

I wonder if something like the radio/royalty model wouldn't work as a replacement for ads. You pay ISP, they are the "radio station" playing what you want to hear, they pay micropayments to all the sites you visited proportionally.

I can immediately see significant issues (user data, managing payments, admin, biggest sites get bigger etc.) but if there's a market demand for a new model, it wouldn't even have to be regulated initially. It could be a feature offered by an innovative ISP. A sort of patron model for general browsing.

My 2 cents fwiw.

I didn't but I looked it up out of interest. Here's some ideas to get us started!

Minimalism is the other one I'm looking at, for past decade or so. Not as far along as I'd like yet in terms of stuff, but consumption is way down. Clothes, equipment, etc. Making things work for longer, DIY repairs, primarily buying used goods.

But the system is totally geared against all this. If someone or a group could reverse even parts of consumer culture it'd be a potentially huge win for the planet. And for people's sanity.

I don't know if this is one we can buy our way out of. Not buying, seafood in particular, seems to be the most obvious solution at this stage. At least until more sustainable practices are more widespread and stocks have restored.

Plant based food companies are probably stocks to watch in coming years.

Second time I've seen it. I'm assuming because it's now in the spoken vocabulary of so many it gets written as it sounds quite often.

Watched Seaspiracy and questioned my "plenty more fish in the sea" assumptions. Corollary is much of the plankton and motion of creatures in the oceans helps to absorb CO2 an order of magnitude more than rainforests. Which of course are also being decimated.

Haven't watched it yet but here's Gates on the matter in new interview: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XbZX6uj8K_M

More discussion is needed. Especially in IT where e-waste is an issue.

Or I can use newsboat... If you really want minimal, integrated into the terminal etc. that's the way to go.

I've had a bunch of self hosted stuff setup in the past and it's just too much maintenance to keep adding services. Plaintext config-based software is much easier to manage.

Appreciate that. Think you missed the main part about the overhead though.

Ah yeah, I tried Miniflux among the handful suggested back when Reader was shut down. Very slick client, I just lost the appetite for setting up local web apps with their own databases. Stuck with newsbeuter for a while, now newsboat.

I set up the latter recently, specifically to track YouTube updates from certain channels, it works very nicely, but for news and blogs you don't tend to get full posts anymore. So it's constantly clicking through to browser and back again. Not ideal. Something like w3m and newsboat crossed, basically a browsable bookmarks list, might be a good compromise.

This project looks clean, as per Miniflux, I just worry about all the overhead of the setup and then not getting full posts to read...

PayPal.

Here's a list for clearer viewing, cover art etc.:

Pretty much. My main preference for Signal is that it's a charitable organisation. That and a few other bits. Phone number IDs are on the way out hopefully. The dream would be some kind of federated layer, but the charitable org thing is a good start for me.
