How does someone inflate their knees?
I just finished The Disposessed and found it critiqued both the capitalist and anarchist society. The people of Annares have simple happiness, but they starve and strive to keep the society alive. It’s also very explicit that it only works because they don’t uphold their anarchist ideals and coerce everyone into work through social pressure.
I think a film would work and would present a “you could have a different society, but it would never be a paradise” type idea.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•do you think the framework laptop is a good long term investment?
9·2 years agoI’m interested in a framework laptop for the environmental perspective, but I also think a pre-owned high end device would be faster and with smaller impact.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?
2·2 years agoJust in case you did, don’t get started with ‘Vespucci’ it’s aiming to be a tool for people already deep into OpenStreetMap. I’m three years in and it baffles me frequently. StreetComplete is amazing and Every Door and OSM Go! Are very usable. If you’re on iOS, this whole post is irrelevant. I’ve not used those apps.

1·2 years agoGet started with the ‘edit’ button at OpenStreetMap.org. There is a Portuguese community, but I’m not sure where they are most active https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Portugal

2·2 years agoHave you already used the ‘give feedback’ button on Google Maps? I think that’s the limit of what they offer. I’ve heard rumour that adding a business at your address makes it much more findable on Google Maps. But that might be adding misleading information. If Google started using OpenStreetMap data (they probably already do) they would have to attribute the data to the project. The big online shop named after a river has their drivers use OSM maps and they will add your driveway to the map etc themselves sometimes. So your additions to OSM will help you get some deliveries more reliably.

2·2 years agoAn easy way is to download StreetComplete an app that breaks down contributions into easy questions about things around you.
I got started by just diving in with the editor at OpenStreetMap.org (Green button top left) and building knowledge using the OSM wiki (which is overwhelming at first)

52·2 years agoContributing to OpenStreetMap. I try to bring it up because it would be great to get more contributors to the project, but either I have to explain “It’s Wikipedia, but a map” or they come out with misunderstandings about the project that aren’t worth correcting. E.g not liking the icons used to display points on the map.

Interesting to see a client with an non hostile algorithm. It would be cool if algorithms where separate the clients and you could choose to use Quiblrs sorting method on another app.
