Someone once told me to that words for things that are not traded across linguistic borders exhibit more linguistic diversity (as in, neighbouring countries use completely different words that share no common etymological roots etc.). Butterfly is one key example.

I didn’t know it yet. But it looks interesting. Thanks for the tip.

Does that mean that anonymous loyalty cards don’t really add any extra tracking capabilities?

Then what is the benefit for retailers? That some people don’t use those cards and are thus paying too much?

Thanks. The tall ships look amazing.

I don’t understand why there arent more commercial options around. Aren’t there armies of rich tourists and digital nomads struggling with their CO2 footprints?

Wouldnt it be possible to have WiFi on such tall ships? Wouldnt it be possible for people to work online for some weeks?

Thanks, will have a look. (I guess that scammy social platform found a way back into my life).

Interesting, thanks. What does “fulltime liveaboard crusier” mean? You spend your days sailing the ocean? In sailing boats?

Those are regular cruise ships, right? Yeah no, not interested in that either. Those are incredibly polluting and wasteful things.

No, I basically mean a sailing ship. A ship with sails. I’m curious about the possibilities to cross the Atlantic with no/low CO2 emissions. I have adjusted the title to make this clearer!

That’s very cool. How does that compare to https://e.foundation/e-os/ ? (That’s what I’m currently running on my phone).

She is probably looking at you with that exact smile behind you right now.

Scary shit.

Thank you

Yes Al Gore (and other people with too much money) should consume less energy (including electricity), but no that changes nothing about the importance of his (then) message, and yes there are plenty of places that are already suffering from the effects sea level rise. You are fooling yourself and its harming us all.

I totally failing to understand all the acorn references. What is going on.

They wear “only Vans”.

With a GUI you also don’t know what it does. Its the same situation, you just click a button that runs the code instead of copying and pasting the code in the terminal. (And I would say the latter is safer because it is more transparent (for those who want to figure it out)).

Ok, then I check upon you in a month.

For me Mastodon is still growing and getting more interesting, with more and more formal institutions joining (newspapers, NGOs, government institutions etc.).

If you put your maildir on a (disk attached to a) raspberry pi, install mutt, and make that pi accessible by ssh you always have access to your mail.
