etuomaala,

Do you think it is possible for our current level of scientific knowledge to exist in a hunter gather society?

<span style="color:#323232;">I still feel a strong pull towards r/worldnews.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">c/world@lemmy.world is juuuust not quite as good,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    content-wise.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">edit:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    !world@lemmy.world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    Still new to lemmy, lol...
</span>
etuomaala, 

<span style="color:#323232;">Perma-bans are fucking crazy.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">The correct way to think about them is as a death sentence.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Hatred speech in real life:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    what, like 2 years in prison?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    IDK actually...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Hatred speech on reddit:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    death penalty.
</span>
etuomaala, 

<span style="color:#323232;">Yeeeeah, that's a good point, kind of.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">But even people serving life sentences can
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    still communicate with the outside world from prison.
</span>
etuomaala, 

<span style="color:#323232;">Because
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    it
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        preserves
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            whitespace.
</span>
etuomaala,

Do you know of another way to preserve white space?

etuomaala, 

<span style="color:#323232;">It's an experiment I've been trying for about two weeks, now.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I am using whitespace to make written English easier to read.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I put one sentence per line.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Long sentences are broken into multiple lines
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    according to natural breaks in the sentences.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">(I try to aim for an 80 column width.)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Indentation is used to signal the continuation of a sentence.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Basically, I am treating English like a programmer would treat code.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">As an interesting and unexpected corollary,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    the English is much easier to edit, and
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    diffs are way cleaner.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">(I'm editing this in an external dedicated text editor.)
</span>
etuomaala,

Start and stop the message with three backticks on a line on their own:


This stuff gets rendered in fixed width with preserved whitespace.
etuomaala,

What is greentext?

etuomaala, 

<span style="color:#323232;">What is this mobile thing of which you speak?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">But seriously, if your screen can't fit 80 columns, then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    what am I supposed to do about that?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">My phone can do that easily.
</span>
etuomaala,

Can your web browser zoom the text out?

etuomaala, (edited ) 

<span style="color:#323232;">Lemmy uses the system default for monospace font.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Try changing the monospace alias in /etc/fonts/local.conf:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Font_configuration/Examples#Default_fonts
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">That's for system-wide effect.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">For just firefox, go to Settings > General > Fonts > Advanced and
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    change the default Monospace font to a monospace font you like.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Source Code Pro and DejaVu Sans Mono are both very good.
</span>
etuomaala, 

<span style="color:#323232;">That's a problem with kbin, then.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">There are no tags in lemmy.
</span>
etuomaala, 

<span style="color:#323232;">Aw, gross.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">kbin is written in php.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Thanks, but no thanks, lol.
</span>
etuomaala,

consumerism != capitalism

Capitalism is the allowing of control over companies to be bought and sold without the consent of their workers.

Consumerism is using cheap marketing tactics to sell cheap garbage to people who don’t know any better, and is mostly the result of not requiring companies to pay for the waste they create.

Either of these could easily exist without the other.

Stop defining everything you don’t like about the economy as capitalism.
