I thought Arch was notorious for breaking all the time? Is that a specific version of Arch?

I couldn’t find any information as to why, but playing around with other symbols suggests it only does it with symbols where they assume the space isn’t supposed to be there. E.G. Colon, ending parenthesis, equals sign, etc. Digging around in the settings I couldn’t find any option to disable this functionality.

Folks elsewhere suggested switching to the Swype keyboard, but I don’t have personal experience with it in a very long time so I don’t know anything about the settings and automatic behavior.

Well shit, sign me up!

I have no idea what F-Droid is, but I tried them all and I actually like the UI of the official app the best. It’s missing a few features, but they’re still improving it and integrating all the features.

Okay but that’s actually still pretty cool. I love seeing all the weird stuff that didn’t make it to today to feel normal.

There’s a few places that didn’t get cars until later and “no thank you” was a very common reaction. We really ought to just ban private ownership.

Hello hello hello!

I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!

Ah!

No you don’t!

Yeach.

Yes correct, sorry if that was confusing.

Being rich literally makes you delusional.

You vastly over estimate the willingness of people to learn how a computer works.

Yeah, I’m aware of the Haber-Bosch process.

I’d honestly have to do the math, but I suspect we’d be able to get rid of synthetic fertilizers if we actually wanted to. Afterall, what do you think happens to the nitrogen after we eat it? We pee and poop it out, for the most part. Yes, there are losses to the air when you till the soil, but a proper farm that focuses on soil health has ways to deal with that problem.

Right now we use the system we have because it’s cheap and easy to do so on an individual level. Growers want to simplify their workflow; they don’t want to actually manage the health of the land they work. It’s too much effort.

Plus, there’s a bunch of government policy that encourages bad farming practices and discourages good ones. Corn subsidies, banning the use of treated sewage for fertilizer, blatant blind-eye enforcement of labor laws, price-dropping policy instead of price-stabilizing policy, etc.

It’s not that we would starve, not in a properly structured system, anyway. It’s that food would become more expensive and some of us would transition to careers in agriculture. The pay would become seductive when the farms become desperate for labor. A farm that actually takes care of the land and the animals is absolutely more labor-intensive, and that’s why very few modern farms do it.

Edit: I should also say that the plants and animals we have today are not the same as the ones we had when the Haber process was invented. We wouldn’t be going back to the yields of the early 1900s. Even if we did everything exactly the same as they did back then, we’d still get better returns and have a more robust food delivery system. Hell, they didn’t even have refrigeration back then.

We really do need to just straight-up ban pesticides, antibiotics, and synthetic fertilizers in agriculture.

If there was a way for legislate that all farms needed to be mixed use, I’d go for immediately.

While the strike is important, if we can get recognition that these subcontractors are just a way for corporations to dodge employment laws, that would be fucking HUGE.

I’ve been idly trying to come up with a framework that discourages this kind of behavior, and I haven’t come up with anything good. Got any ideas? Everything I come up with either wouldn’t work or would never get implemented.

First rule of propaganda: the enemy is both terrifying and weak.

I mean, honestly? Yeah. People forget that their widespread support and cooperation is ultimately the source of other people’s power. Your boss might be able to fire you, but they can’t fire everybody.
