Per @drjudystone

"Boone NC officials have confirmed that 62 members of the Pennsylvania Amish community have completed the construction of 12 tiny homes in under 48 hours. The total cost of the project for #WNC was over $300,000, all of which was donated by the Amish community."

Just "wow"

@topher @nekohayo I do agree that this is a serious concern, but given the even harder and faster #Enshittification, it seems still as a "#LesserEvil" to me compared to #Windows and #macOS.

  • I know that's the worst possible "sales pitch", but I'd rather choose becoming an #Amish than using Windows 11!

OFC I'd love to know what - besides #CLI & #TUI tools - you depend upon.

It's basically a good #neovim preconfiguration and can be pretty awesome if you don't want to deep-dive into #OhMyZsh like @fuchsiii did.

🔗 Your new neighbors may drive a buggy — Ohio’s Amish population is growing ·

#Ohio’s #Amish population is on the rise — up nearly 10,000 people since 2018.

My late father was a trusted Englishman & ran what essentially was an Amish uber, driving the Amish community to places that were unpracticable with a horse and buggy, like to hospitals, etc, 50, 60 miles away.

He also had a bi-weekly established route to Portsmouth, 65 miles away, for non-appointment trips.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge Today, April 20 is SOLD! on #NationalAuctioneersDay

Werner #Herzog travels to New Holland, #Pennsylvania to witness the 1976 World #Livestock Auctioneer Championship. #Cattle is weighed and paraded in front of the buyers, and the 53 contestants have a few minutes to auction the animals off to the highest bidder. We see glimpses of the audience. New Holland is the land of the money-eschewing #Amish, descendants of German-speaking Swiss, whose dress, ways and speech found an ideal state in an increasingly convoluted world. While money rolls, the Amish hand out their home-baked pies to the Championship onlookers. To German-as-Apfeltorte Herzog, the auction is bewildering, the “last #poetry possible, the poetry of #capitalism”. In keeping with Herzog's poetic, ecstatic truth, Bruno S. too travels to America and encounters the auctioneers in Stroszek (1977).

#ElectricBicycles have been finding favor in a growing number of communities.The latest community adopting #ebikes en masse may be even more of a surprise: the Amish.It’s a common misconception that #Amish communities entirely shun electricity and technology. Rather, each Amish church and its surrounding community decides its own rules regarding how much #technology is integrated into daily life. There is no single Amish doctrine or set of regulations. electrek.co/2023/03/12/believe
