new copy pasta dropped
Honesty, I'm OK with slowing down and consuming less if it is night and the wind isn't blowing. Lets just use that time for rest, instead of being in hyper production mode all the time.

Where can I buy ebooks that will actually be mine for life?
A lot of publishers have DRM free content if you buy directly from them.
Verso, Tor, NoStarchPress to name a few

We can all agree on that, right?

Public Money, Public Code - A campaign advocating for legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available & open-source
Reply in thread
There is some movement, but it isn't nearly enough.
We believe that software created by the government should be shared with the public, and we want to collaborate with civic-minded peers to make this happen.

Housing Crisis
Reply in thread
There should be options other than renting and owning. If you don't wish to own property there should still be housing available to you, but it doesn't need to be rented from a landlord, it could be collectively owned (by tenants), municipal ownership, or something else. Relying on people with capital to provide housing while profiting from your need for housing is a broken system.

Nah dude, it is only "bad" and "has no value" in this capitalist economy. Keep making art, it is valuable.

It is a bot that these communities on discord can invite to specific channels that will index the discussion to provide a search engine interface. Ideally search engines could leverage the answeroverflow API to help people get access to the technical discussion that now happens in discord instead of forums or mailinglists which do come up in search engine results.

Can iron fertilization of the oceans help solve the climate crisis? (commentary)
Please don't buy into geoengineering. We need to repair our relationship to nature through rewilding. We should be changing the way we live, giving up large monoculture crop that goes toward animal husbandry and rewilding the planet to sequester carbon emissions. We are in this situation because our ancestors changed the land and the wildlife so radically in our attempts to industrialize. We overfished, killed whales, ran large predators into extinction, removed most old growth forest among many other things. Humans have tried geoengineering before, we dam rivers, flood planes, dig canals, level the earth and introduce species where they are not native, among large chemical, mineral, metal and other injections to the ground, sky and water. The climate models see carbon sequestration, SRM and geoengineering as attractive options because it lets us continue business as usual. We do need rapid change, of the way we live and with our relationship with the earth.

About 6 months ago I moved from a big desktop to a laptop with much less compute power. I had to change a lot of my workflow and software because I didn't realise how much background compute and stuff everything was doing on the desktop.
I do miss some of the features, but overall I feel better about myself and my situation. I feel more in control and aware of what is going on with my hardware and that is satisfying.
I was able to tune the desktop down to about 65-85W usage, but prior to all that, it was pulling like 180W just doing nothing. I found the most gains by turning down my monitor from 100hz to 60hz and turning on eco mode for the CPU in the BIOS. The laptop uses about 10W even under load.
Best of luck with the switch!

You are correct this is called geoengineering and it is born of the hubris of humans thinking they should control the planet like a machine or something. The person you replied to I believe is appealing to other people who think Promethean action is irresponsible and instead we need to modify our relationship with the environment, by not continuing down the path we are on.

Ergodox EZ is fantastic, I've got zealpc zilents installed in mine for silent tactile. Expensive switches, but I've been transplanting them between new keyboards. I got the EZ from a friend when he wanted to go to a moonlander.
