I'm having trouble joining xmpp.
at movim.slrpnk.net I get an error - a dialog appears which says "the server takes too long to respond" or some such.
I've tried other clients, but I'm not sure of the server - is it chat.slrpnk.net ?
This is all really interesting.
As an early iteration it's great, but without wanting to sound critical - it really does demonstrate a lot of problems.
To me, this format is too specialised to see much use in Australia for example. I can't think of many suburbs that would be flat enough for one person to drag around 3 bodies plus the machine even with a bigger motor. I cycle regularly, but it wouldn't take much of an incline with a headwind to make hauling 3 bodies plus machine a real challenge.
Hi!
I'm new here and have no business telling anyone how to do anything.
That said, every time I see the description for the !climate community I get a bit twitchy. It says "truthful information about climate, related activism, and politics". One thing that's become clear living in this post-truth world is that "true" can be very difficult to nail down.
I guess a single statement can be true as in "today is Thursday" but information can never really be a complete truth because for complex concepts, particularly climate change, we just don't have all the details (although we have enough data to draw conclusions confidently).
Another issue is, there can be multiple perspectives of the truth. People with different predispositions can form different conclusions from the same facts.
I guess I'm wondering what others think about the term "truthful" and whether there might be a better alternative like "authoritative" or "reliable" or some term that doesn't have the same baggage.
Regardless, it's not my intention to be critical. Go team!
Woah. Actually I think that is better because reading "4, 5, 1, 2 all the rest are bad for you" didn't make me realise that I have a bunch of styrofoam boxes that I'm using as planters. It's no drama though - everything I planted in those died.
I'm surprised PVC is bad for you though? Our retic system is all PVC pipe. Wouldn't most market gardens use PVC also? Everywhere in Asia uses PVC for potable water.
I was trying to log in with the web client which didn't work.
I may have been using the wrong server though.
