Film theory did an interesting video where they concluded it'd be okay since he'd only be intaking a little over time. (Not saying that's true)

Yeah they reference this in the book, it's always from him when he uses the bacteria (meaning in theory it's only his own pathogens or bacteria). He uses his crews shit that's been dried and left in Martian temperatures so it's sterilised.

A European Citizens Initiative wants to introduce a Wealth Tax (and they need your help) in c/europe@lemmy.ml

Progressive taxes are a way to make up for the imbalance of poorer people spending a higher proportion of their income on essentials, it's a fundamental of economics. Although I have heard that the tax brackets in Russia are completely flat (not that that makes it any better).

They do something fun with this in the three body problem. It's amazing and makes a ton of sense but in the real world the application will probably be a lot cleaner.

Also the fact that the economy is managed can mean things aren't always testable. If you think there's going to be a recession based on models and you prevent that by using policy, did you really prevent the recession or was it never going to happen?

I thought the proposal to call them majority world countries was interesting.

But if lots of people use it wrong and break it then maybe it's too obtuse. I broke one of my applications by upgrading packages. The solution? Install the package again, I thought the package manager would take care of stuff like that but if it's meant to be me then I think it's a bad system.

I broke my install by updating it, I get that if you perfectly understand what's going on then it has no bugs but that's really not my experience. A lot of the time something will break and it's easy to say "I should've known it was this so it's my fault" but really if you didn't expect it to work a certain way and it breaks it's not a super stable system.

Been playing through the first few levels of this and I think im hooked :) (lemmy.world)
 

This is a game called chants of the sennaar and in order to progress in this game you must start to understand the writing system through context and the puzzles presented. I think this works super well and was much easier than I expected.

Getting close to finishing this panel! finally figured out how to represent the quacks (lemmy.world)

How would you attempt to write these symbols on paper? (lemmy.world)
 

I kinda like the way this looks as it makes the script predictable but I still feel like it could really be improved

These two are pretty bad in my opinion as I can't really tell where the dots are meant to be and it looks very overcomplicated.

This is the original font and I believe it can be easily written (unfortunately my artistic skill is pretty low).

wacky feature recommendations for a writing system? (lemmy.world)
 

I'll start with the ones I'm considering: -Clausal distinction by colour of the word -Boustrophedon (alternating direction of writing) -intent indicators

What single addition would be most useful to the English writing system? (lemmy.world)
 

Every once in a while I sometimes think about remaking the English writing system, as is normal I'm sure😅, and I wonder what would be the most useful revision of punctuation or phonetic.

Slowly getting through more comics with my first good script! (lemmy.world)
 

First panel of a few but I'm not sure if ill finish the whole comic. Translated myself so it's probably bad toaq 😅 but the fun is the journey.

Getting back into writing Today using Sitakai again (lemmy.world)

was looking into reducing Titanfall 2s file size and found this (lemmy.world)
 

Essentially there's a huge amount of data in one of the VPK files that's being repeated and I think it should be able to be removed, I'm looking at the largest VPK file in the game btw.

Will lemmy implement veilid? (www.theregister.com)

Recently cult of the dead cow came out with veilid, a secure decentralised way of sending encrypted information and i think this could be a huge asset to lemmy. Cult of the dead cow even mentions mastadon by name as they say this is the type of application it was designed for. If veilidchat takes off then i really hope the devs will consider it.

The Mandalorian Writing System (lemmy.world)

Just finished my first draft of a writing system specifically made for the nao language (lemmy.world)
 

I finally got this script to a state that I'm happy with and i think it works alright for the language. The way it works is that since every elemental word can be either CVC or CVV or CV every symbol is one consonant + the flipped form of the coda consonant on the bottom with up to three vowel marks. I hope you guys check out the nao language and keep on being kool as heck!

New logo!! (lemmy.world)
 

I'd been thinking that this place needed a proper symbol and I certainly didn't want to steal one from the reddit logo competition (even if they were ballin) so I ~~kidnapped~~ paid my artist friend to make this awesome logo that shows the different ways of writing over the ages. He's called Kriall btw and might be posting more neography related stuff in the future. I hope you guys love this logo as much as I do! Keep on arting you beautiful people I share a hobby with!
