The biggest motivator for cars and wide roads are weekend getaways; there are good options for commute and long-distance travel. Maybe, if you ban private car purchases and have good rail connectivity, people'd get by on rentals.

I am a ... fan ... of social ecology etc. But I feel such theories are difficult to apply in today's large-scale politics. Even the path to trying out any such theories in practice probably starts with trying smaller changes like liquid democracy (that is already proven in the corporate shareholder world).

These theories might go through massive changes if they meet reality. Remnants of past "experiments", say the basis of Liedloff's continuum concept, are not quite as neat as these untested theories.

I sympathize. Using a neovim GUI should make things just work. Terminal and graphics never played well together, although you found nano to behave well.

That is what Delta Chat and Monocles do on different protocols, with WebXDC. https://webxdc.org/

I don't know how it is in never-colonized countries, but here, local bodies don't get much by way of taxes and infrastructure spending is by state or national government since all income and business taxes go to them ala colonial administration. Locals don't have leverage over infrastructure projects, and local body politicians have no pressure from locals over their handling of non-infrastructure funds.

Anything from djb can be expected to be good 👍

The simplest tool I had come across was memoize.py (and others like it). Given a build script, it uses strace on a from-scratch build to figure out dependencies. On future builds, it rebuilds only what has changed. It naturally captures edge cases like, rebuilding everything if the compiler changes! But also the typical case, of include files etc.

On a lighter note. There are Git experts? ;-)

What are you going on about!

haha. The Congress is not left-wing? The party that decreed we were a "socialist," secular republic? Is the current government doing anything that is not a continuation of what previous ones were doing?

Prefixing left- this and right- that to anything detracts from focusing on it.

You'd be even more shocked that left-wing politicos, who were in power thrice as long, were equally bad and created the mess that has to be managed.

 

Are there communities, free software/open source or otherwise, using Lemmy as their forum software?

Nowadays, many use Discourse, some are on Zulip, and I just don't care about the Discord ones. Would Lenmy not fit the same purposes? It is federated and easier to participate in, like mailing lists - no need to sign up per forum. Matrix is too, but it doesn't seem to be made for long-form writing.

I believe Discourse was designed based on experience with community dynamics, and Zulip is well-designed too. Would something with federated participation like Lemmy not work as well?

 

Does anybody have experience with using Treesheets instead of a wiki or an outliner? I use #TiddlyWiki mostly, as it is usable on a smartphone too. Treesheets is desktop-only.
