  • i remember these kinda discussions from a few years ago, when waterseer had a similar idea.

    how well these devices work is strongly related to how humid the air is.

    and the places where these kind of devices would actually be useful (like deserts) have very low humidity,

    to the point were there is almost no water in the air to be harvested.

    atmospheric water harvesting has only been somewhat feasible in environments that usually have better methods to get water,
    and even there they are ineficcient to the point where people consider it a scam






  • flat earthers are only unified by the belief that the globe model is fake.

    they all pick and choose which models they like, based on what conspiracy theories they subscribe to, and what “evidence” they believe in.

    for example the model i described fits in well with hollow earth conspiracies like annunaki or lizzard people and “nasa hides the poles to cover up the truth”

    and when they are confronted with evidence that disproves one of their models its suddenly a strawman that no real flat earther believes in. and they pull out a different model that is entirely designed around addressing that one issue. (rinse and repeat if you disprove the next model)






  • i just use vim plugins in the other editors i use.

    kate has a vim mode,
    vs code has a vim plugin.
    intellij has a vim plugin.
    obsidian has a vim mode.
    a lot of editors have vim modes.

    if you have a current non vim markdown editor,
    try looking for a vim mode.

    if you dont, obsidian is all about markdown,
    and vs code has a markdown preview plugin.






  • 😂😂😂 the wonders of unicode / utf-8

    it the reason why you can post in any imaginable writing system from ancient sumerian complaints in cuneiform 𒂍𒀀 𒈾𒍢𒅕 to the goddamn seraphim o “серафими многоꙮ҄читїи҄” that was used exactly once in a single 15century manuscript.

    its also the reason you can post emojis nearly anywhere.
