Way too many services in Mexico only work from Mexican IPs, from paying your electricity or internet bills to topping up highway toll accounts and even ordering food from a superma…

Indeed, "the West stopped imagining better futures". But authoritarian capitalism isn't the only alternative out there. Millions of indigenous people around the world are living in…

Lawn mowing seems like such a useless thing. I mean domestic lawns themselves, especially in a crisis of biodiversity loss, are such a waste of possibility. I had to stop the video…

Thanks dang and everyone for the better title and for clarifying this further

Quote from the paper: "the continents are now the leading contributor (44%) to mass-driven GMSL rise". As regards to non-mass-driven rise, another article[0] states, "Ice-mass loss…

My father set up a Ventura Publisher-based publishing shop in the 80s and it was great. I got to use a laser printer for the first time, retouch photos with Corel Paint and play ar…

Regular internet on ships is a flat rate for the ship owner (except for Inmarsat, which is hugely expensive and only used if nothing else works) and the big issue is sharing limite…

We had unprecedented social upheaval last year in Panama to free ourselves from a big Canadian copper mine and to push for nature and forests as our primary source of wealth. Zambi…

Extremely happy as well. I did put 64gb on it and use it all day for GIS and design on Ubuntu, plugged to a Dell dock and two 4k monitors for a triple head set up

About 40k people were displaced after building the Canal, not necessarily because they were in the way[0]. We like it there and I'd rather have fresh water than have the canal 0. h…

Panamanian here. The forest in the Canal watershed is pretty well conserved. The issue now is related to climate change and reduced rainfall. The new locks demand more water, thoug…

According to this tweet[0] citing a (locked) article, the arrested publisher was asked by police "Do you support president Macron? Have you participated in the recent demonstration…

After reading about it in The Guardian[0] I signed up for the "Six Pack Revolution"[1] 75 day program and I've been on it for 4 weeks now. Workouts last 30 minutes max, which I do …
