No, ants are not the topic of discussion here... the original comment was extending the ant patterns to human communities, and the comment I replied to said they've been saying this for years (presumably about human communities). I

Yeah it's the best web-focused blog on the web. As such, it regularly argues that the focus and battleground must be for browser access to device apis etc... Unfortunately the world is distracted by alternative native app stores. I sim

You're misinterpreting the stats. Those are not "updated" - they're from Dec 1, 2025 and are the latest that are available from Android Studio (I just checked again). If you add up the distribution inclusive of Android 9

Its hard to find these stats now (need to use Android Studio), but about 10% of android users are on Android v9 and below. Android 9 support was recently discontinued by Chromium, such that they cannot update past Chromium 138. So, 10% of a

Yeah, I live in Central America now. 7 years ago after a month of subtle... Issues... and and a bunch of weight loss, I finally discovered an 8 inch worm in my poop after taking some albendazol. Since then, I take it every few months. There

When you say "just", which innovation are you referring to? Did they literally just announce something or are you referring to something like v4 flash?

I could very much see people becoming tribal, untrusting and uncollaborative due to not wanting to split the reward with others (or have it stolen altogether). It seems to me that a profit sharing scheme would be more effective - everyone i

oh wow, yeah, $150 is far too expensive. Its unsurprising, given how flashy their site is and their like 100 employees - what are they all even doing, other than patting themselves on the back?! The site shows all the telltale signs of self

Actually, plenty of people - including the person I was replying to - explicitly argue that locals know best and you're being imperialist by even suggesting that outsiders might have anything useful to contribute other than money. And,

I tried to make a contribution a couple years ago and was absolutely dumbfounded and exasperated beyond belief by the arbitrary, unsubstantiated rejections, bureaucracy, etc... An absolute cesspool of humanity.

And hence, AS I SAID, people should collaboratively work together. There's no presumption - despite you recognizing that incompetence is all around us, you'd be amazed at how many completely obvious things are not done, and other

Yeah, that sounds about right. I assume such bikes, parts and tools do exist. Can probably order it all on alibaba. I intend to investigate and do this in the coming years, but have to attend to other things first.

Ship a village 1000 bikes and one person is going to end up seizing control and selling them to everyone at market value. Perhaps even under the guise of being a social non-profit whose profits go to help people (extremely ineffectively) So

It's extremely expensive to ship bikes around - even old unused ones.

The difference is that the non-profits come with the expectation that they're genuine, well-run, accountable etc. For profits don't really have any moral expectation

I've never really understood the point of open source ecology. As you noted, it seems egregiously complicated and expensive. I guess that's why it seems to languish in obscurity.

Yeah, I agree with this. Though, I think you could make bikes for much cheaper with some ingenuity. Certainly some bike-powered appliances. Also I think OLPC was a misguided project, as most of these things are. Its out of stem with maslows

In my fairly extensive experience, non-profit organizations are not just full of and run by grossly incompetent people, but deeply arrogant and/or deluded ones as well. I have NEVER found an organization that has a genuine desire to se

What would be different about a bike designed for Africa than one designed for anywhere else? What parts that require specialized tools should be redesigned to use standard tools?

Glad you discovered that you were missing this. Jj can do essentially anything git can. Check out jjui - it makes it all that much more simple.
