I am interested in two things:

  1. How the world works
  2. How we can make it better

My mission is to develop a deep understanding of how our world works — economically, politically, historically — and write to make it common knowledge.

I write wanting to address the problems in the world that keep us trapped in cycles of suffering.

I want to write a better world.

I spent almost an hour, talking to a garden spider & cheering it on, as it navigated its windy web to weave more. I feel it was time well spent.

Sometimes, I think we need to stop blaming just Capitalism, and get more personal. Lots of countries use a Capitalistic system, but still manage to pay workers fair wages, provide free/inexpensive Healthcare, have paid maternity/paternity leave, longer paid vacation, shorter work weeks, ect. We use the word Capitalism like Christians use The Devil, but it's not some dark mysterious force, it is people who are choosing to treat other people like actual garbage, it is people who are making laws, people who are denying rights. The derision with which we speak the name of Elon Musk or Donald Trump, should be universal for rich fuckers who choose profits over people. They shouldn't get to hide behind, Oh, that's just late stage Capitalism. It's a choice for them, and it's a choice for the lobbyists who promote them, and it's a choice for the politicians who put those laws into action.

@RickiTarr Capitalism is the underlying system that rewards people for that behaviour.

So I have been back to using ZSH for the last couple of weeks, this time without ohmyzsh.

For those of you who use zsh, I seem to remember zsh having much better tab complete. Like I could type 'downloads' and it would autocorrect to Downloads.

Mine doesn't do that. I know there's a line in zshrc that needs to be added, I did that. Anyone know why I don't get that feature? Or was that part of omyzsh and I'm just going to have to deal

@thelinuxcast One sec, I'll have a look at mine. I have ohmyzsh installed though

@thelinuxcast I don't see anything in my run commands which explains it, it must be something magical that ohmyzsh is doing

It's true. The file mangers for GTK are sub par across the board.

Thunar should be it. But it doesn't remember closing position well. It's supposed to, but it does not. At least past 5 tabs. Also, it has this odd behavior where you open a tab thinking one pane is in focus, but it opens it in the other pane. Very annoying.

Nautilus is still the slowest thing I've ever seen because it does not like that I have my open home folder and the regular location of XDG-DIRS are empty.

@thelinuxcast Is speed the reason for thunar?

When a Confluence page breaks down to gibberish cos a macro you've depended on is deprecated and then you have to manually go through 1001 pages to remove it and hopefully replace it with an equivalent macro but it doesn't exist so in the end you just copy and paste stuff

@liztai A markdown file is just a plain text file!

Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, markdown is in the eye or the software that interprets the file.

A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.

Space trash falling back to earth is not progress.

Stealing a woman’s voice is not progress.

Taking data and information from people without their consent is not progress.

Consuming vast amounts of water as we teeter on climate disaster is not progress.

Consolidating wealth to a few who are the ones dumping space trash, stealing women’s voices, taking data without consent and depleting precious water resources is not progress.

Government that protects those wealthy few is .

On paper — FBI authorized to use deadly force at Mar-a-Lago

In practice — FBI was afraid to force open a closet at Mar-a-Lago where more documents were kept

    Whenever my husband and I stay in a hotel room with two beds, I like to role play like we're two coworkers on a business trip where I get things hot by spending the evening microwaving fish.

    sashin,

    @Alice Can you explain this? Is microwaving fish a reference or a slang way of saying something else? Why does it take a whole evening? How hot does the fish need to be exactly?

    Quick Tulip update: Didn’t see her for a few days and started to worry since she getting up in years for an ant. Just spotted her in the lower chamber doing some patrolling around. She’s at least two years old. Still full of life. #namedAnts #tulip #ants #tuliptheant

    Close up of Tulip, a very good looking ant: she has a wide head and six sturdy black legs.

    @futurebird What are the pink spots on her? Is that a specific species of ant?

    @Daojoan @theindex You should consider switching over to another instance (for both the index and your main account).

    These are a curated list of servers that adhere to a stricter set of requirements than the big ones like social and online, one of which being defederation with Meta.

    So I'm keeping a list of things that are about to be gone or severely restricted (in the next 10 years) due to climate change, so far the list has been growing:

    • Avocadoes
    • Potatoes
    • Olive Oil
    • Cocoa / Chocolate
    • Tomatoes
    • Salmon and pretty much all things from the ocean.
    • Mangoes (added by @337guanacos)
    • Almonds (added by @neverbeaten)

    Anything more to add?

    sashin,
    @sashin@veganism.social avatar

    @noblessefemina Why these things specifically? Is it because they take a lot of resources to grow?

    Homo naledi is the most interesting new human like primate. They are from South Africa, little people. walked upright, but primates walking upright goes way back.

    They had hands just like modern humans but longish arms and powerful shoulders ... so they could probably zip up a tree.

    They have small brains half modern size. This has made people astonished that they may have had fire.

    I'm glad I'll never meet one, a smart little firebug with powerful arms sounds terrifying. 1/

    Wearing my fave boots & pants again. Both are super comfy & both are my fave colour - #purple 😊

    Side of backyard #SoilRemediation area is doing well! My cover crops mixes are choking out the fugly colonial non-native grass. I have native grasses in my homemade mixed cover crops mix. This area that I'm standing on was dead zone for years because of hard clay blocking plant growths. It took me 3 yrs to get soil healthy enough to grow more diversity!

    @msquebanh This is really good.

    I know people try to coordinate their outfits so that the colours compliment each other, but I've never heard of anyone coordinating so as to compliment the surrounding natural scenery!
