Lamlameta is a traditional board game played by the Konso people in southern Ethiopia. It shares similarities with games like Gebeta and Mancala, where players “sow” seeds in pits on a board. The board, called “toma tagega,” has two rows of twelve pits, known as “awa.” Each pit begins with two seeds (“tagega”).

What even is a URL? Y'know, the thing you type into a web browser to make it go to a website. That. What is it. Why? And what else is like it? And also a bunch of other questions.

Welcome to the first episode of Technology Boy: a new series where I'm gonna just kinda nerd out at you for a while about various computer things in the vain hope that it'll help folks feel better equipped to navigate the world as a digital citizen.

You may know me from my current events newsletter/show, Stuff Keeps Happening, but turns out I'm actually a long time fan of being a huge nerd, and before I was doing content, I was a nerd full time for money. I liked the nerd part, but the "doing it for a corporation that doesn't care about anything but optimizing profits" was not why I liked technology.

💭 Speusippus / Σπεύσιππος / Philosophy #Speusippus #Philosophy #Science

SPEUSIPPUS WAS AN ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHER. HE REJECTED PLATO'S THEORY OF FORMS, AND WHEREAS PLATO HAD IDENTIFIED THE GOOD WITH THE ULTIMATE PRINCIPLE, SPEUSIPPUS MAINTAINED THAT THE GOOD WAS MERELY SECONDARY. HE ALSO ARGUED THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE SATISFACTORY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY THING WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THE DIFFERENCES BY WHICH IT IS SEPARATED FROM EVERYTHING ELSE.
