yes a lot of cultures went extinct but not because they didn't have writing. it's because there was no one left to pass on the knowledge.

if we think about it from the perspective of contemporary indigenous people, they know how to read and write English but that's a side effect of boarding schools. and it's led to more intensive cultural extinction because of forced assimilation.

tldr: some tribes had writing before Columbus, some didn't. cultural genocide is effective in both oral and written traditions

what do you get out of defending a white supremacist using this term? unless you feel entitled to using it?

[-] amino 1 points 2 hours ago

wasn't aware it's possible to say the n word non-seriously. you must be white

[-] amino 2 points 3 hours ago

didn't know making Nazi jokes and saying the n word as a grown man is immature. curious how easily white men get infantilized so they can avoid accountability

so all those genocides weren't enough, you want a repeat with you at the helm?

[-] amino 1 points 3 hours ago

there's no evidence or even claim of there having been any kind of writing or system for making information durable

sigh it's called oral history and it was working just fine before the settlers showed up

I fail to see how welcoming Nazis like him benefits the Linux community

I learned a lot from this article and I'll attempt to provide a short summary:

We are living in an era where the movements for land back and for solidarity with Palestinians, Sudanese, Congolese, Ukrainians, Hong Kongers, Tibetans, Uyghurs, Kashmiris, etc. are becoming more and more popular.

Since our taxes and electoral systems are designed to fund and reinforce these systems of genocide how can we support voting with a clear conscience when we know that our vote legitimizes the existence of the same entities perpetuating these genocides? How can voting be called harm reduction when our vote is for normalizing the existence of genocidal states like the US?

ALT: blue tricycle with flatbed panels lowered

Maybe a more philosophical question, but my country classifies this gorgeous bastard as an electric tricycle because its max speed is locked at 25 km/h so it can be driven without any license.

fun fact, a mini version of this without a cabin is getting really popular with old people in rural areas as a way to replace their bikes because it lowers their chances of getting ran over by cars.

I assume it's also being used as a covert disability aid since it looks less like something that would get you discriminated by ableists or by your mates at the pub.

back to the model in the picture, I also predict a big uptake by the people using horse-drawn carts to haul cargo/people. yes, we do have street-legal horse public transport, why do you ask? 🤭

Zhang Yazhou was sitting in the passenger seat of her Tesla Model 3 when she said she heard her father's panicked voice: The brakes don't work! Approaching a red light, her father swerved around two cars before plowing into an SUV and a sedan and crashing into a large concrete barrier.

Stunned, Zhang gazed at the deflating airbag in front of her. She could never have imagined what was to come: Tesla sued her for defamation for complaining publicly about the car's brakes — and won. A Chinese court ordered Zhang to pay more than $23,000 in damages and publicly apologize to the $1.1 trillion company.
