July also represents the first time in a year that a month had been less than 1.5° C above preindustrial temperatures

Phew. Dodged that one. So it's not so serious after all. /s

Brilliant! Can't wait to give it a test drive.

I see you need more explicit proof. You'd be surprised what can be used to make alcohol and what is used in some drinks.

In rural Mopani district, Limpopo, a homemade alcoholic drink called lela mhana wena (say goodbye to your mother) is being sold. It consists of sorghum malt, water, sugar, ice cream, some battery acid and brake fluid.

Doesn't define as spirit for me.

I highly recommend you visit rural Africa. Eye-opening in many ways.

But don't drink this dirt-cheap poison!

Good catch. I will keep an eye out for it. Let's see what the dev does with that and how much dedication will go into it.

It definitely had potential. Was my main driver for Lemmy. It had the best layout of posts, modern and sleek handling, etc. Markdown worked just fine for me. The minor bugs I noticed didn't bother me much. Am sad to see it implode like this... hope the dev will change his mind or someone will pick up the pieces.

I always keep Jerboa on as well. A solid "alternative" (1) and the client most unlikely to get abandoned.

  1. it is the original client and is still actively developed

That's concerning. I'm typing this through Raccoon right now. Awesome client.

...pandemics, nuclear war, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, cyber warfare, antibiotic resistance, political instability...

Spoiled for choice here.

That's still more than 10 years from now!

Let's cross that bridge when we get there, what do you say? We have bigger fish to fry than worry about something more than a decade away.
