In Germany, people don’t drink warm beer, if, like anywhere else, they can avoid it.

I’d go by ‘mechanical devices’, there were hardly any machines in our understanding back then.

In 1700 steam engines weren’t far in the future, but not invented yet.

Takes out their smartphone and starts the beer drinking app.

That’s like an opinion, man. Or 24.

That might be the case in your country, but there are many cultures that are perfectly capable of sharing and keeping common infrastructure in good conditions. Your personal experience isn’t generic and globally true.

A country’s land should not be owned by individuals, in my opinion, but used by those who need it and when they do so. A country’s land is what makes it a land, so it cannot be owned or sold. Someone inheriting it from someone who took it and maybe sold it should give no legitimate claim to possession.

I use paperwm on Wayland gnome. If you like a scroll wm, is extremely easy to find out by installing the extension. It’s one click away. It might not be for everybody and has a few glitches, but fits my workflow better than other paradigms.

It tried out niri and found it identical to paperwm in most aspects. However, I like gnome and its features, so I missed those in niri. On the other hand niri didn’t bring me anything new. It is also difficult to install and configure and requires manual recompiling. I’ll certainly revisit it in a more advanced stage, should it reach such, but for now I’m perfectly fine with paperwm.

I am a paperwm user and I look forward to give this a try!

There is the Norse Beowulf myth, that is somewhat related to the Nibelungs. It might be better known to English speakers.

Landownership is wrong all together.

If you think about it, it is completely absurd, why anyone assumes the right to ‘own’ a piece of land. Or even more land than the other guy. Someone must have been the person to first come up with the idea of ownership, but it is and was never based on anything other than an idea, and we should question it.

After all inheritance of landownership is a major cornerstone of our unjust and exploitative society.

I use language tool for that in libre. Works great!

Then, data has changed.

Krita has a Windows version.

This meme is based on an impossible assumption, maybe that’s the joke. But I ain’t certain.

There were all kinds of opinions in that discussion and only a tiny minority or only the op held this point of view (which was called for being unpopular). I hope my assumptions aren’t off.

It is very easy to steer a population regarding decisions that are way over their head and might even be contrary to their naive interests (ie. collect a tax on concrete to subsidize CO2 neutral building). Direct democracy is every fascist’s dream.

For a good part lemmy is seizing the means of production.

Not having Firefox, or a derivate, I’d rather use Chromium.

Zoho is a good alternative.

That’s a 404 …
