How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?
  • Sunwise, as it was based on the movement of the sun during day (in the Northern hemisphere). As watch faces were modelled after sundials, sunwise and clockwise describe the same direction.

    Turnwise is a word invented by Pratchett for a book, but it's clearly based on sunwise. He also used widdershins in his book, which is indeed the unmodified antonym to sunwise.

    Which donation platform (that is accepted by Lemmy devs) takes the smallest share?

    Let's say some of us would like to donate money to the Lemmy developers, and we'd like to make sure as much as possible goes to said developers, which would be the best donation platform to do so?

    If the developers read this - aside from the above - is there one you prefer over the other for some reason?

    (Yea, sending them money directly through crypto is probably the best to ensure they get the most out of it, but many of us prefer the comfort of those donation platforms.)
