I think G&W use "experimentation" is only applied to an entire group of people. Of course individual members are often victims of the circumstances, but except in rare marginal situations like early Viking settlers on Island being driven to extinction by changing climatic conditions, groups of people have collective choice over their location and mode of subsistence.

Thus saying that peoples' social relations are a result of material conditions is usually not even half the picture.

But for me the bigger take-away from The Dawn of Everything is that interelations between groups of people, both in place and time and usually in opposition to each other, seem to have such a strong impact on how they chose to structure their social interactions. G&W argue that this is something scientists often miss because they focus on one group in isolation. Furthermore, they argue that there a certain level of confusing cause and effect: when a group of people is conciously moving into marginal lands (for example to escape domination by another group of people) that forces them to swich to a different mode of subsistence, then the ultimate cause of the resulting change is not the material confitions.

The article is suspiciously avoiding the question how they were caught or how police got access to the phone of one of them.

Anfangs gab es ein paar komische Effekte bei Leuten die Mobilfunkverbindungen mit wechselnden IP-Adressen nutzen, aber das scheint in der neusten Version besser zu sein. Ansonsten geht es ganz gut, aber der Effekt ist bei Lemmy nicht so ausgeprägt so weit ich das abschätzen kann.

Na das mit der Schwangerschaft ist noch nicht das Hauptproblem. Danach sind die jungen Eltern dann ne weile total übernächtigt und gestresst, und wenn das Kind alt genug für den Kindergarten ist auch noch dauerkrank weil alle Keime angeschleppt werden (oder halt mit dem kranken Kind beschäftigt).

Der ist eigentlich Peruaner. Vor Jahrzehnten als Missionar dahin ausgewandert, peruanische Staatsbürgerschaft angenommen und ist dort Erzbishof geworden.

Ist echt irreführen das die Presse seinen Gebursort in den USA so hervorhebt.

I have been running this as the beta under Linux already and there are definitely some nice improvements.

Probably not, but you can likely improvise by binding the audio mute to a button in your OS.

Among the flood of AI-generated content all over the Internet it’s hard to imagine a coherent vision of a better future, especially one hopeful in the face of the Climate Catastrophe.

I believe that to be able to create a sustainable civilization and stop destroying the planet we need to find a new story for ourselves. Such a story could only be crafted by humans, as no neural network is capable of creating coherent symbols for values absent from our mainstream, Western culture.

For the last few years I witnessed many well-meaning writers and academics try to write about a better climate future - be it under a name of Solarpunk or any other - and struggle to find art illustrating their work. It saddened me to see them turn to the most thoughtless AI-generated images, trees growing from concrete buildings - just to represent something.

I hope that with this Library, thanks to the artists who generously donated their art under copyleft licenses, we will be able to go towards meaningful symbols, planting them like signposts towards a better future.

For anyone stuck looking for a story idea, good conflict or tension in a realistic near-future setting, I hope that the seeds will kickstart their creativity. Be sure to also check out the Solarpunk Prompts podcast by the awesome tomasino for even more writing inspirations!
