I get the reason for alterity. While the term is new to me, the need for it has been clear for a while now. But I don’t get why you need to jettison difference.

Slop seems superficially different but structurally the same. But structurally different is the goal. We invite people into a new structure, such as solar punk, by living it’s principles. But is the argument for not being superficially different so you can be relatable to the average person? So you escape detection from the state apparatus? So it projects a deep root confidence that some might find alluring?

I feel like one of the biggest concerns I have with solar punk is it’s very beautiful aesthetic. It can get in the way of some digging deeper. And yet Id be lying if part of the initial appeal wasn’t the aesthetics. The author might consider the solar punk aesthetic as Manechian. I would never want to jettison that aspect. I would want it to inspire me to dig deeper. And maybe, through community, inspire changes in that aesthetic through a shared lived experience.

any case, thanks for sharing. Got me thinking.

As the parent of a ten year old, make sure you check in with the parent. I’d want to make sure there’s some web guardrails and some time limits.

RTFM is an obnoxious retort for people, arguably in community, not to engage with a member of the community. I don’t mind reading the manual, but perhaps you can point me to where in the manual I could get further insight.

Reading a manual is also a skill. Being able to compartmentalize manual info into buckets of “obvious and I don’t need to read on”, “could be helpful”, “interesting, but it gets there I ain’t touching it” takes either training or just getting lucky after a certain number of reps.

It looks like you can self host Navidrome.

I’d like to try Linux with minimal commitment and no setup. Give it real test drive with some of my most important tools.

If and when I decide to make the switch, I want to have access to my normal windows machine. I’d keep it around if I need it. But prefer if it went away slowly. I want to work with and communicate with windows users with neither of us having to jump through weird hoops.

I want my printer to work.

Problems will come up, but I don’t want it to dominate my time.

I’m sure most of you will say not to worry, but until I’ve logged some real hours, I will.

Do you not get the meme… It’s funny because it’s true.

Here’s some others:

• Windows is garbage. The last time windows was good was Windows [10, 7, 2000, NT, 3.1, O/S2].
• don’t you care about your privacy?
• All AI is all slop all the time. If you think of using AI you are garbage.
• Star Trek. I have no issues with my Star Trek homies. Y’all are awesome.

My group recently switched to Matrix and so this would be a tough sell, but it seems interesting. I haven’t been a fan of Matrix and miss the ease of UI in discord, but was happy to leave with it’s direction. How would you sell it with a small group that has small, but mounting usability issues with Matrix?

Say what now?

The queue can be sorted by date. If you hit date again it reverse the order.

A little box you can put your app.

If the app does bad, it doesn’t sink your ship. Just throw the box over board and repackage the app.

I’m not sure most people need it, but it could be fun to use a new app inside a container. Also makes updating that needs a restarting without shutting down your other services.

This is exactly what keeps me from switching. I don’t have the time or pull to do knuckle down on an important PC. Maybe when I have a backup one, I’ll do it. Who knows.

Nothing in this article addressed tooth decay or dental formation issues.

Also from the article:

Hunter-gatherers who live until the age of 15 typically experience a lifespan of around 72 years. Among elderly hunter-gatherers, the incidence of diseases such as cancer and high blood pressure is very low. When recalculating the average lifespan excluding child mortality, the average lifespan for hunter-gatherers ranges from 68 to 78 years.

I also never said we shouldn’t follow science or modern medicine.

Dental health of hunter gathers looks like it was much better than ours:

“Hunter-gatherers had really good teeth,” says Alan Cooper, director of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA. “[But] as soon as you get to farming populations, you see this massive change. Huge amounts of gum disease. And cavities start cropping up.”

Additionally, they had better spacing due to eating tougher foods like high fiber items and tendons. So there’s less dental impacting like we have with wisdom teeth.

Humpback means so many things in this post.
