Can you share more details on this story?

I am pretty sure that modern archeology agrees with you in at least some ways (know an archeologist, not an archeologist). I don't have any specific evidence for mammoth trapping but there are these really interesting stone funnel traps that were used to trap gazelle herds https://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com/2011/04/ancient-gazelle-killing-zones.html

Also consider how long humans have walked the earth as hunter gatherers. Agriculture goes back to around 10.000 BCE. The entirety of time between 300.000 BCE and 10.000 BCE was likely (mostly) spent as hunter gatherers. Imagine in how many ways local roles and culture could have differed in that time!

Don't you think that this "men are here to be practical" theory has some gaps? Like there are plenty of men who do the things that you describe as unnecessary

• What if you just likes cooking or fancy meals?
• What if your cleanliness standards are just higher?

I'm not saying that barns should be sweeped or that everyone should cook fancy meals. But to say that people who do do that are (as you seem to be implying) overdoing it, or impractical is a bit unfair I think. I am also quite practical but still respect that others have higher standards or just "want things their way" which should be at least a little relatable to everyone.

Ik ben wel benieuwd naar de ervaringen van mensen.

Seize the means of computation people!

I've just become a CAD hobo or squater you could say. There will always be one ""free"" piece of cad software that caters to the casual 3D printer and I've just accepted that they will inevitably raise the price and I'll just have to jump ship again. But, at least I get to keep all the knowledge and that is what counts.

That was a tough read in both ways.

Seize the means of technology

I hear you I hear you. Whenever people ask me about my device I usually tell them that you just exchange the windows problems for linux problems. I don't mind fixing things as much because the device really feels like my own so I am more forgiving than I was on my other devices. Don't know how that is for other distros since there are so many but in my experience but yeah I've lost count of how many times I've had to repair my bluetooth audio.

I used to do a ton with Processing and P5. This guy https://www.youtube.com/@TheCodingTrain did wonders for my skill and enjoyment a few years ago. I owe him a lot

This has unironnically happened before (sort of) https://retractionwatch.com/2023/08/30/unethical-and-misleading-researcher-finds-his-name-on-editorial-boards-of-journals-hes-never-heard-of/

I just love how retraction watch just doesn't hold back with statements like this

Loffroy also toned down the offense, saying he wouldn’t care if others had plagiarized his work.

They also just posted his picture on the top of the article.
