I use xmonad and won’t switch until there’s a viable alternative (probably never).

Remove the subsidies on agricultural products that get sprayed with glyphosate to increase yield. Corn, wheat, and potatoes in this country are poison because of the chemicals they spray them with…then they go and put that tainted product into sugars like HCFS.

cool. I probably wouldn’t have started this community had I been able to find it in a search.

Could you possibly link it? Even knowing it exists, I am STILL unable to find it in a search even when I search from my kbin account.

KBin’s cool and all (might even end up being better than lemmy in the long run) but it is in a WAY earlier stage of dev than Lemmy and it shows.

Bar none:

Blue in Green

written by Mr. Bill Evans


It is not only the absolute best track on Kind of Blue, it is also the most beautiful, cathartic song in all of jazz history, IMO.

It’s the ‘Claire De Lune’ of Jazz!

Randonneuring

long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy.

of course. I didn’t really insinuate that it should.

But surely, a 3D printer could/can. It’s just that the software that runs on it shouldn’t have shit security and there should be multiple safeguards and redundant fail-safe systems.
