@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?

@Edent "using 'it works on my machine' as an excuse" was literally one of the reasons you could be shot with a nerf gun at my old job.

@aburka thanks. Does the PWA handle offline posting? I'll quite often queue a post to be sent while I'm out of Internet coverage.

@Edent I don't know the answer to this one

@Edent Neat shot. All the fraction keys!
Wonder why the lower case e-r-t are so worn compared to the rest?
@FloatingOnion e and t, at least, are the most commonly used English letters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency

@Edent noโฆ Iโve zoomed and enhanced and if you look carefully you can definitely see โPolice Boxโ written faintly on one side.

Really enjoyed when I read it. His writing is his voice and tonely calmer.

@Edent Got it for Christmas last year and was really pleasantly surprised. It was whimsy rather than out-and-out surrealism. I see he's written two more, but not I've read them yet (nor received them this year!)

@Edent Like many imperial space operas the time setting relies on technology to colonise planetary systems beyond those we currently have.
As political constructs though I'm reminded of the Spanish colonisation of parts of America as well as English colonisation of many other nations. Colonisation and exploitation of indigenous resources isn't kind whether we see it in Dune or the Avatar setting of Pandora or in West Papua and Papua New Guinea. Or Middle Eastern nations like Palestine. Or ...

@Edent There was a "Butlerian Jihad" against Thinking Machines which is why some classes of tech seem undeveloped.

@Edent It's in the far, far future long after there was a Terminator-style takeover by "thinking machines" (the idea for Skynet possibly came from Dune). Because humanity almost went extinct, it became a grave sin to make a machine in the "likeness of a man's mind", which is why there's no robots in the Dune universe, and highly-trained humans (Mentats) do many of the tasks - such as complex logical analysis and data processing - we today leave to computers.

@Kay @Edent All true, but on the other hand, the Fremen are not depicted as primitive, but have a sophisticated culture and their own advanced technology which they use to wage war against the colonisers. They also tolerated House Atreides precisely because they did not displace the Fremen or interfere in their business (although the Bene Gesserit very much did). Also, Herbert sought to subvert the White Saviour myth by making Paul an anti-hero, arguably even an outright villain in the 2nd book.
