This is an oversimplification, I would not consider Orban far right and PB are more populist left if anything. And it's not all Russia's fault, in Bulgaria the pro-Russian government came into power after five years of self-proclaimed pro-Western politicians attacking the institutions for their own political gain. Well, it misfired.

I am just noticing how those ideas are present in Wizard of Earthsea.

What if the threat is not environmental collapse but hostile government?

Do you think that monitoring and surveillance are less of a problem in the US? In China?

Bronze pipes have been discovered in Roman-era settlements and even earlier sites. That's a long time before tobacco was available in Europe.

>Diátaxis is similar to DITA

I don't see it. DITA differentiates between topic types such as task, reference, concept, etc., but a tutorial or a solution guide will be a combination of those topic types. Here I believe the focus is on deliverables that are larger than the individual topic.

There are less than benign godlike entities in that imagined future, for example the Excession and some of the Sublimed. That adds an additional layer to the narrative.

I am sorry for jumping on this opportunity to be a smartass, but this type of armor predates the sarissa phalanx by almost 1000 years.

Yes, we might need to shoot at them.

There is a non-zero chance we are headed for a situation where global warming and sea level rise will make hundreds of millions, mostly from equatorial regions, desperate refugees. It could be that an attitude of self-righteousness might become impossible to maintain. Friends come and go.

What are examples of good CMS software that you've used?

I would not put him in the same league as Lem. Or Banks or Reynolds, for that matter.

I had a titanium Tissot watch and it scratched easier than steel watches.

I'm starting to think some kind of shade megastructure in orbit might might be the only solution to lowering global temperature. I know that light exerts pressure and that keeping it in place would be a major challenge, but still.

You use Balkan as a synonym for Yugoslav, which is wrong.

Bulgaria and Greece are Balkan countries. How are they much smaller than Serbia?

Where's titanium on that scale?

Sadly, the "everything is bad" refrain which 10 years ago was invented by conservative eurasianists is today picked up by the new liberal left.
