  • As soon as I heard about the source of ignition I thought about a similar catastrophe that happened in the USA about twenty years ago. This is terrible, but it is probably good to share it widely and in as many languages as possible. I am not sure of the best words, but it would be good to help this tragedy save others.

  • Ya maybe! I fully agree that more options could possibly be better, but also that one is better than none is done correctly. But "correctly" is probably dubious...

    Another thing you touched on is pricing. This is something that ostensibly regulation would help with.

  • I think it's cool you have those options, but I wonder how common it is to have options. I have always heard that 'because people don't have those options' as a reason to make it essential. Except where I moved to this year, nowhere I have lived in the past 20 years had multiple options except back when Internet via phone line was an option.

    Electricity is essentially everywhere people live. There are entire towns located in places without mobile phone service and quite possibly very poor or no internet access.

  • This looks really nice. I've been using mailfence for a long time, it isn't open source, and it hasn't gained any functionality. It just isn't very functional. I wonder if one can use skiff with a different email address?

  • I typically chew a single stick of Extra mint for over an hour and have frequently chewed one single stick for closer to four. No exaggeration! Not very minty or chewy at that point tho.

  • My last (and first) smart phone lasted me for 6.5 years. It received one OS update, and stopped receiving any other updates about three years in. I was never concerned. My current phone is about 3.5 years old, didn't receive the OS update in May, and I wonder how long it will receive security updates.

    Anyway, it's the sort of stuff like this article talks about, that I never heard of in 2017, that makes me wonder if I'll get another three years out of this device. Maybe with Lineage.

  • Well poo I was going to come on here and post "it's dare!" So thanks for saving me 🤭

  • No, I actually had not heard of tiny rooms before so maybe I should be careful with what I wish for 😬 I have stayed in bunkhouses and had a mixed bag. Some were really nice, but one I remember being able to hold hands from our beds. It was pretty close. More like a barracks. I guess like anything else, good design matters!

    I'll look into the tiny rooms. I am now picturing those little pods on Tokyo...

  • oversubscribed

    What an excellent point. I take that to mean infrastructure, specifically things like services. That would be a challenge to overcome especially if these new dwellers were not making more income. I hope bunkhouses do not become a standard, but I think the tiny room idea is pretty nice. I don't need my own kitchen, either!

  • I wonder if this will drive migrations patterns in the near future? Certainly US drivers tend to travel pretty far, every day, just to get to work. Will we see a trend of folks relocating to larger towns and cities for smaller or no automotive commute?

  • Here's am older post with a longer article. Pretty interesting I think! And would be very helpful to many people and probably other animals, too.

  • These are some interesting talking points regarding our "rental" of services, property, etc. It seems like the EU is intent on, in varying degrees, regulating this, but not so much anywhere else. But nowhere is doing anything holistically in my opinion.

  • Permies has most, maybe all of this. Pretty neat community.

  • Wow, my niece is eight and I find it challenging. Kudos for carrying on that long!

  • What will they do when they unearth a large monolith 😬

    But seriously, it is hard to really grasp that something like cabin building was happening half a million years ago. I guess that river might have been following a different path then?
