„Many companies build their businesses on open source software, code that would cost firms $8.8 trillion [in German: 8.8 Billionen $] to create from scratch if it weren't freely available.“ (OpenSource as a whole)

“Singapur has a philosophy of making space for nature throughout the city. This philosophy runs so deep that it’s even applied to a hospital.”

--

Have you ever seen this kind of lush green within a hospital?
Sooo beautiful, don't you think?

Shouldn't it be that way everywhere, in every hospital?

Nature heals people, what do you think?

(Benedict Cumberbatch is a great narrator in this documentary!)

Take your time and watch this inspiring documentary!

There are huge environmental and societal issues in today's computing, and permacomputing specifically wants to challenge them in the same way as permaculture has challenged industrial agriculture. With that said, permacomputing is an anti-capitalist political project. It is driven by several strands of anarchism, decoloniality, intersectional feminism, post-marxism, degrowth, ecologism.

Permacomputing is also a utopian ideal that needs a lot of rethinking, rebuilding and technical design work to put in practice. This is why a lot of material on this wiki is highly technical.

Most importantly, there is no permacomputing kit to buy. See permacomputing as invitation to collectively and radically rethink computational culture. It is not a tech solution searching for a problem. You are free to start your own initiative and use the term permacomputing, however please make sure you understand the purpose and ethos of this project.“

Hm, interesting concept!

If you teach advanced English classes at your school, you could let your pupils watch this youtube series by jan Kekan San.

They teach the constructed language »toki pona« („The Language of Good“) with the help of a blackboard and an antromorphic star 😄

Really well done, entertaining and inspiring.

Give it a try?

Now imagine that suddenly, you need help. Emergency medical information, food resource locations, shelter, assistance, anything.

Then, in your emergency state, you look up resources on the internet and find... a website that first requires you to load 500 MB of JavaScript, and lord knows what else.

Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's ReactJS. 💅🏻

(Post-publication addendum: 500 MB is an exaggeration even for React. But you catch my drift.)"

Interesting question 🤔

Other clients ask, e.g.:
"What's on your mind?"
(you don't want to know, really 😁)
or
"What are you doing?"
(nothing really, watching my timeline fly by)

Another question could be:
"Have you really thought about what you are about to share with the public / whole wide world?" 🤔

Lidepla is constructed out of the 10-12 most spoken languges of the world, what makes it more international than Esperanto does.

Here are some example sentences:

"Some phrases will almost seem to be Russian:

Yu snova dumai om sey nove filma.
You think about this new film again.

Some phrases may consist almost solely of Chinese words:

Ta shwo ke ta bu yao chi yan, ta yao nangwa.
He says that he does not want to eat mutton, he wants pumpkin.

Some may consist of Hindi words:

Me jan ke mata pri pi chay.
I know that mother likes to drink tea.

And some are of Arabic ones:

Juma sabah me safari.
On Friday morning I am going for a trip."

I like the considerations they made while developing the Lingwa de Planeta :)

Their slogan: "Fo unitaa de Arda! - For the unity of the Planet!"
