- fullstop 5y agoIt's a clone / inspired by the editor in Pine, pico, the PIne COmposer. Ages ago, Pine was fairly standard for text-based email on Unix. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_(email_client) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_(email_client) The name is a play on metric prefixes.

- GrayShade 5y agoIt's a quote from Harari's Sapiens book: "[History is something that very few people have been doing while] everyone else has been ploughing fields [and carrying water buckets]". For some reason, it's in Romanian. It may sound full of hubris, but I don't think that's the intention.
