"Deep in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula, an ancient mangrove ecosystem flourishes more than 200 kilometers (125 miles) from the nearest ocean. This is unusual because mangroves -- salt-tolerant trees, shrubs, and palms -- are typically found along tropical and subtropical coastlines." ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease

@velartrill .. how can anything perform better than the video element? have they again repurposed a word to mean something totally different?

web stuff is really about turning the bullshit knob to 11. the first time i used a framework i was confused by the use of "rendering" pages, because that's what the browser does. take html and render it to the window.

the biggest myth sold to the public in the last 15 years is that you're missing important things by not staying in constant, daily, insubstantial contact with everyone you know

@velartrill
Imagine writing an entire network stack (iirc) for Apple and not even getting any code back lmao
I'm fully vaxxed (until they change the definition of that -- it's coming)

It was a decision I made understanding that the vaccines are essentially experimental and could have acute and chronic side effects. I made the decision based on balancing the risks against the responsibility I have to maintain. It was my decision to make.

The fact that I made the decision a certain way doesn't mean I want to force my decision onto anyone else. I don't think I'm special, that my judgement is supreme. I just did what I thought was best and it was a gamble.

Regardless of the above, vaccine passports are simply evil. Asking people for their papers to participate in society is an icon for the worst regimes in history, an icon of repression, an icon of evil.

These people think they're the good guys. So did the Nazis. They're wrong, just like the Nazis. For people who seem to care so much about what history thinks of them, they are awfully ignorant of how history has judged people like them previously.

@velartrill we can grow many things in europe, still we rely on importing many things for cheap while our farmers are always on the verge of bankruptcy. that's a recipe for disaster. if you don't have the money, it's ok to cheap out on food. 90% of the population have it though, and still buy the cheapest shit they can find. literally people with big BMWs buying the absolutely cheapest meat to put on their 500€ grill. total bullshit.

@shoshin

@velartrill it's really interesting how people don't understand the concept of enduring freedom (sorry.. :D) by using the GPL licenses.

i have the vague suspicion that they just are lazy and don't want to spend time on this, but justify it to themselves as being _the cool kids_.

> Some BSD License advocates used the term [viral license] derisively in regards to the GPL's tendency to absorb BSD licensed code without allowing the original BSD work to benefit from it, while at the same time promoting itself as "freer" than other licenses

this is so fucking funny oh myg od

@shoshin it's too high for what is sold as food. that's the price to pay for globalization though. i think we could have much more sustainable food production in the west for a good price. as it stands something produced around the globe is probably chaper than local products. few people buy local food which means the price will be higher. while nothing is more important than strong sustainable local food production, imo.

I think RMS was onto something with having artists on a platform be paid according to the inverse cube root of their popularity.

I know a guy who busts his ass being entertaining, has a newborn child, a pet to put down, a car that doesn't work, and would love to see even one percent of one percent of one percent what these cocksuckers are raking in

while still begging for donations and merch sales

@velartrill id say this in golden color? never really used twitch except for occasionally watching dota2 finals
