There haven't been any issues, so I don't see why development is needed.

You say that as if I don't already know it. But what am I supposed to do, abandon every friend who prefers it?

Similar to Silence, a Signal fork that worked over SMS that I used to use. Glad to see the idea is still alive.

Absolutely this. The first half of his first book in any given series always feels like it's going to lead to something amazing, then nothing. I feel like another writer could take his unique ideas and do something really cool with them, but I won't ever read Sanderson again.

Sometimes I wonder if he managed to wrap up Wheel of Time satisfyingly for its fans.

Rnote is currently the best for handwritten notes in my opinion, but its organization is minimal. I have never found a 1:1 replacement for OneNote, but luckily I no longer need it desperately like I did a decade ago.

I think one of your keys is upside down? Right split, second row, third from the left.

Or maybe it's just the font

I am well aware. But if precedent is set that protesting in the streets won't be allowed going forward, it will have negative ramifications for leftist movements.

Try a handkerchief. It's life-changing when you're sick: no more raw nose!

I'm not responding to any more comments on this, but it's evident that a lot of you have never lived through a wildfire. All of the resources you need get centralized on local news sites (like Castanet for Kelowna) in a way that makes it easy to figure out what's happening. Many of the updates that local officials broadcast daily never get transcribed or posted anywhere except for local news sites such as that.

Honestly, fuck the economy. Areas dependent on fossil fuels should have h started diversifying decades ago, but they stubbornly refused to — and continue to do so — to their own detriment. We've known for a long time that being entirely dependent on a single natural resource for the bulk of our jobs and trade was a bad idea: just look at the mill towns in BC when their mills closed. At how devastating the softwood lumber disputes were. It was pure hubris for provincial and local governments to push forward with continued dependence on single resource economies.

I agree that we'll never entirely end fossil fuel use because plastics are an amazing material, but I absolutely do not agree that we need to continue fossil fuel extraction for the sake of the "economy." This is shortsighted thinking: the "economy" will be destroyed in the longterm by climate change. Natural disasters, human displacement, crop failures, water shortages, wildfires, the list goes on and on.

The UAE also has a large propaganda wing dedicated to cleaning up their image on Reddit. While I moderated some eco communities there, I banned dozens of their sockpuppet accounts that were posting greenwashed articles about them. It never ended.

Luckily this user is not one such sockpuppet, but it is important to look out for them.

I typed a response to this yesterday, but my phone ate it. 🙃 For anyone else trying to comment here, you need to explicitly set the language of your comment to "English" when responding to Kbin users (which OP is.)

I started out in spaces related to minimalism before I found the simple living movement. It definitely felt like a good fit in some ways, but a very bad one in others. For example, I definitely prefer to own less stuff than the average person, but I would say that for me this comes from a rejection of consumerism. Whereas many "minimalists" are very driven by consumerism: opting for buy very few items, but only those of the best brands or with the right "aesthetic."

There is also a tendency for grifting in those spaces. People become microcelebrities and put out blogs, videos, and even documentaries all rehashing the same, meaningless message. "My life was so terrible, and then I discovered minimalism and discarded all my possessions, and now my life is great." The epitome of this is "The Minimalists," two guys who somehow ended up with a Netflix documentary. This content has a great aesthetic, but lacks substance of any kind. They fail to dig into the things that explain why shopping doesn't make us happy (the hedonic treadmill,) or provide a meaningful critique of consumerism.

So, compared to the average person, I would say that I am a minimalist. But it isn't an identity I would tout in front of self-professed "minimalists," because we have fundamentally different values.
