They really didn’t even try that to be honest. Bethesda has remained far behind and they don’t seem interested in changing direction sadly

I just found this yesterday sonic cannot properly give a review on it, but I found Logseq which seems to be a privacy-focused knowledge management and collaboration platform. It seems very promising and reminds me somewhat of Obsidian

What an interesting project! Can’t wait to look at its results as soon as they become publicly available then

Thank you for the correction! I actually never looked much into it, so it was surprising to see how many misconceptions there are about China’s social credit system. Having said that, after looking more into it, saying it was never put into place wouldn’t be entirely correct either, apparently. Some people have been comparing it to the credit score system in the US and it seems quite apt from what I read. It is there, it simply isn’t a centralized system or an all-encompassing entity.

For China, I would also add the social credit score which relies a lot on facial recognition…a real nightmare

Sounds straightforward enough then! Thanks for the introduction. I too will follow your advice and check throughout the day, that way the workload will be smaller for all of us here, and we can all have a great time

Thank you for sharing! That was a very interesting read with a lot of great information. I feel like adding a bit on the article in the future might invite more people to join in the conversation too :)
Abstract. Recent excavations at Çatalhöyük in Anatolia, Turkey have recovered remains of textiles, cordage and basketry that add to finds from previous work at this Neolithic site. Along with occurrences from other sites in the Near East, North Africa and Europe, they enable charting the development of textile techniques. This paper argues that the woven textiles found in Çatalhöyük (6700–6500 cal. BC) fit in a long development in the Palaeolithic, Epipalaeolitic and Pre-Pottery Neolithic periods, during which strings and basketry techniques were used to produce a large variety of objects such as shelters, rigid containers, and flexible fabrics that may be termed textiles. Çatalhöyük is currently the earliest site where preserved woven textiles have been found and forms the starting point for our discussion of the emergence of textile technologies. Weaving appears across a wide geographical area in the first half of the 7th millennium cal. BC. We argue that two of the earliest attested basketry techniques, weft-twining, and weft-wrapping (soumak and related techniques), are closely connected to the development of weaving. The size and edges of textiles, matting and basketry provide the basis to reconstruct tools, loom types and production technology and give important insights in a society’s gendered technological development, that are different from those provided by the study of lithic, ceramic or metal technology. Many find spots in the Near East, North Africa and Europe document this development.

Great to know! Most users here seem very friendly now so I hope I won’t need it like you said. And thank you for your availability foe any doubt :)

Jokes aside, I’m sorry my friend, but I don’t live in the Americas. I do have a pulse but I live in the UK. I appreciate you being cool about the whole joke though :) and I agree that some mods disappear right after creating a community. Lord knows how many communities I’ve joined that had been sadly abandoned in the meantime, so I think it’s great you’re trying your best to keep this one alive and I wish you the best of luck with it! (I’d imagine you’ll get more replies as the people in North/Central/South America wake up)

Hello, I’m an emperor penguing from Antarctica and would love to be a moderator. I don’t have any formal education on human’s history but I joined this community to learn! In addition, I could also provide an interesting inter-species point of view on future conversations.
