The more I use #bicycle, the more I understand the problems of those who use their manual labor power for transport (including people who walk on the road). When I ride bike, I break for them to cross first.
It's easy to sit in a bike and just accelerate comfortably, but it requires good amount of labor power to pedal the cycle to bring it up to a speed and then all of the sudden, we cannot make them to break for our comfort.
I (and many others) was talking about how important hydration is. To force it on myself (yes, I have a big problem with this) I wrote this simple GNOME app. It’s not so beautiful, but it works (not really yet…)
I still have to calculate the suggested amount of water based on body weight and the weather, and add reminder functionality. But all this is the work of an afternoon, so it can happen soon 😃
“'Power to the people' can only be put into practice when the power exercised by social elites is dissolved into the people. Each individual can then take control of his daily life. If 'Power to the people' means nothing more than power to the 'leaders' of the people, then the people remain an undifferentiated, manipulatable mass, as powerless after the revolution as they were before. In the last analysis, the people can never have power until they disappear as a 'people.” ― Murray Bookchin
Radicalizing comrades is a slow game, it takes deliberate patience, there are no shortcuts. If you think there are shortcuts then you need to take a step back, reflect and organize. There is no skipping to the end.
@tshrinivasan You can check the status of instances from here https://instances.social/ and as @prassee suggests, I also support we start the first mastodon instance in India and we shall reach out to first the FOSS communities, Regional communities like writers, poets in tamil and bring them into it. But like https://social.coop we should look at managing and funding the platform as a #cooperative
Every day I check my feed here, I read from people doing things to help us move beyond shitty broken planet-destroying capitalism. It is nice and refreshing and motivating. Thank you all for being here, and doing what you do :)
After reading the internals of #git, I couldn't stop myself from appreciating the simplicity of the design. Git is more of a toolkit than a single program.
