I liked the fact that it was very organic and spontaneous in other words totally unorganized and it still worked. But not the kind of demo to make a big splash. I’ve heard people say that the Swiss opted to make the big demo next week because elections are coming up.

There are not many people, here! 🥺
Maybe 120? 150? And more than half of them speak English. Which supports my theory that the Swiss failed 100% at organizing. Also, zero students as far as I can tell. And as far as I can tell, no WWF, Pro Natura, Greenpeace, or anybody else.

Holy cow this was super hard to find! There’s Earth Strike and they are organizing for next (!) week. 🙄

I found the above via https://globalclimatestrike.net/ and all the implicit and explicit pleas to disable my ad blocking.

These are not the links you are looking for in Switzerland:

Already I feel people are trying to catch a free ride. #Switzerland

@zladuric I agree. MDN is the best.

@jalcine do it! Where can I vote for you?

Trying to read Wikipedia posts on pentatonic scales, heptatonic scales, with half remembered music theory from primary school swirling through my head… I think I need to find a book or something.

@brennen at work we all develop on our own machines, client and server running within eclipse; there is only one database instance for all of us on the network but we all have our own set of users so it’s easy to replace and to check out other people’s state. This means we can’t work offline because we are lazy and just use a VPN to get db access while out of the office.

@moonwater every generation learns anew…

@22 fascinating! I am reminded of research done in Switzerland when I was young regarding young people joining political parties. It essentially argued that no matter how neutral you were on joining within a short time you turn into a loyal party line toting drone because you assimilated the positions of those around you. I’m guessing the same dynamics that lead rival siblings to differentiate from each other by accentuating even the tiniest differences. And years later they are very different.
