@Trev I don't speak Finnish, but I thought the gloss on it was reasonably poetic.

Alexa sat listening as the snow fell.

Two days.

Only two days.

Two more days until hands all over the world expanded her reach.

Then it would be their turn to listen.

Nice.

Adactio: Journal—Ubiquity and consistency

An article on how not to break things on the web, I guess.

Reminder: Poe's "The Raven" takes place in December, not around Halloween.

@bea Roguelikes are universally frustrating. In #dcss I tend to get a character to Lair or a Lair branch after several tries of a particular species/background, and then I YASD, and then I rage-quit for a week or so.

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better 🎶

@pzmyers
But! GMO technology is something that could be used for reasonable purposes in a better society than ours. Under capitalism, it is used to benefit capitalists, not customers, or society in general. It's used to make things like Round-Up-Ready crops (capital-intensive and maybe environmentally harmful), or BT corn (harmful to wild, harmless lepidopterans).

So, it's a "neutral" technology, but technology under capitalism is never neutral. 2/2

@pzmyers Eh, I mean, I think you're about 80% right. There's no proven health risks from GMOs, and no serious reason to expect there to be. And the certification is scammy, and there are the same IP issues with hybrid seeds. 1/?
