@Ostsol @tim_couillard @Civixplorer actually the time period has no bearing on whether you die of starvation or dehydration

sailors died or dehydration or disease, not starvation

food for month can go into a small backpack

@H3O2live @SamaHoole Dutch was standardized a lot, but dialects like Zeeuws (Zeeland) are often rich.

School teachers tell us written language is primary, because that empowers them and theirs, but spoken language empowers practicioners.

@tmalsburg @simongerman600 it is observed in many places

I say that every heat map of Europe is just a proxy for the Rhine valley. Also referred to as the 'blue banana' (which is just the Rhine valley)

@ProtonPirate @simongerman600 It is minor, but what is different is that in Switzerland the dialects (from eg different Cantons) are supported.

@simongerman600 Engadine = Danube basin

[Bastiaan Quast @baquast]

@simongerman600 Rhine valley = Swiss German
Rhone valley = (Swiss) French
Po valley = (Gallo) Italian

@H3O2live @SamaHoole I read it, but didn't think about it too much, in Dutch banks also means bench or sofa (an elevated plateau), but now that you mention it, in English it is more ironic.

tragic indeed

@snorripall @juliarturc using frameworks, libraries are replicators, so are LLMs

all my skills begin with saying, make from scratch, or vendorize, last resort a library without deps

it is also becoming a bigger security risk

[Bastiaan Quast @baquast]

@MajorFoe @MomsPostingLs @grok is it ?
