I get more jungle vibes from it :o

do you happen to know if buying an old twizy around 1500euros is a bad deal? for having to change battery for example

It’s a free tool that the owner probably uses, it’s already a success :)

Yep, my first thought lol

very well thought!

p.s. i would be glad if you posted on !art@slrpnk.net next time!

i guess i’ll have to enter in the xmpp chat lol

I’ve not been a mod for quite some time, I’d rather not “force the hand” just ‘cause I founded it

The post itself was low effort… Let’s say that ‘‘where solarpunk organize’’ was the motto of the instance thinking about a place where to organize and share informations of praxis more than falling in the giving each other compliments for thinking alike… Probably will have to make another place :o

Trump is not in charge and so it’s more about US elections rather than climate policy

I don’t think that if we start posting every bullshit said by every politician around the world the sub would still be useful

Offtopiiiiiic

This is a very interesting topic that would require a lot of discussions

In my opinion, we (obviously) need both BUT the messages leveraging fear will still be more spread thanks to algorithms.

So the issue here is more like “how do we reach the people that need more positive messages” rather than “we need more positive messages”

In the end, a lot of people just can’t get out of their own hamster wheel unless hard helped offline by people close to them.

It’s also true that we don’t need masses to react, just enough people… So well, as I said, it’s food for thought that requires discussions and actions, there is no end synthesis to this comment of mine :)

Off topic…

Check out bonfire

Little feedback: !climate is becoming a useless echo chamber with no discussions, maybe it’s no more solarpunk aligned

Prob it needs some rules-reminders to other servers people

It’s sad that most people are commenting without even reading the article nor watching the mockumentary. We can be better than this :)

I watched it and it has some nice jokes and sketches in it. There is no blame, just plain explaining some psychological mechanism and also even mocking the corporate greenwashing.

It does not address capitalism, yes. It pushes Patagonia, yes. Still, it’s a good little video, I would send it to people around me if it was in my language.

Yep, this move was sad.

Like when Birkenstock, notoriously worn by communists here in Europe, decided to go public lol

why folks shouldn’t bother trying to emit less carbon?

I’m not saying they shouldn’t, just talking about priorities :)

I’m also playing the “being less dependent on capitalism” game but I recognize that it’s an uphill battle and most of the people don’t have time nor energy like me.

On an individual level I’d say the most important thing is taking back our time and cognitive energy to unlock other possibilities.

If you have time and energy yes, lower your footprint, help people around you do the same, get healthier, get powerful, be more resilient and so on. If you are a normal person with limited time and energy focus on wellbeing and even just putting one inch of support on the stuff I said earlier because the number of people at rallies and strikes really matters.

idk really, this is the site of the project: https://arti.torproject.org/

Tor is being rewritten in Rust :3

Your part is not thinking how to reduce your carbon footprint but organizing with other people and partecipating in collective actions or movements or whatever.

Your small part may be even just donating 10€ to the people needing legal help cause protesting. Or just showing up to a rally. Joining a union…

I think that just liberals think we should all try to reduce our carbon footprint so there is really no need to feel guilty about that on this server ;)
