Thank you for your comments.
Nothing irritates me more than walls of code without any comments and the “cOdE sHoUld bE sElf-DoCuMenTiNg” attitude. No, it’s impossible to describe complex industry-specific processes by naming your variables and functions nicely.
Xed editor comes close in terms of handling files-as-files, but I found it more cumbersome and buggy than Markor.
Not just about climate, but Less Is More by Jason Hinckel. It is anticapitalist and pro-animist (!), and I found the historical parts interesting, particularly the philosophical angle of how separating the human from the rest of nature happened (and how it played into abuse of both nature and humans)
Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid by Thor Hanson is about climate change, how animals adapt to it, how forests can migrate, and local climate anomalies.
That explains why Synapse and some other things moved under element-hq on GitHub.
Doesn’t Element get funding from some EU governments? IIRC it was used by some police force in Germany and some departments in France.
