@aeva "...less technologically dependent on the US/China." is probably correct right now. A while ago it was "better". A while while ago it was "reliable", I guess. Though c-suite people didn't want reliable they wanted corruption (I guess that's what the c stands for).

Lot's of the tech is quite indifferent and too low level to be either as it facilitate both. Only one project was for pure good but no one wanted to finance it, so it was paused.

@aeva Well, I like building infrastructure; the machines that build the machines, the digital roads that facilitates communication between all ends of the earth. The basic stuff.

But I'd rather it was more decentralised and smaller scale than it is today. And I'd like more if feddi used it all rather than big tech brainwashing slop machines. But here we are. I help making a knife and lot's of people started stabbing instead of cooking meals, making clothes, sculptures etc.

Three simple trick to lose weight:

  1. Sleep long, sleep often, so you forget to eat (don't do this).
  2. Do tasks that captures your mind, so you forget to eat (don't do this).
    3.Set hard dietary restrictions on yourself so it's too burdensome to make food, so it's easier to forget to eat (don't do this).

Don't do this!

To me solarpunk's most interesting story is when people start to fight back against capitalism, not 20 years after we won.

@NiwlCraft How about a story about a nomad belonging to a small armed collective/village living hidden in the mountains on solarpower, hydro and hydrophonics. Listening on the world through radio and connecting to the rest of the world by piggy-backing on satelite up-link. The nomad is a wanted eco-terrorist that travels around where needed, talks to trees (they're a bit slow but when connected to fiber quite talkative) and dodges the remaining "societies" enforcers.

I'd watch/read that.

I think I misunderstood you... If you meant one common protocol so anyone with a connection could curl some memes, then we had that. But the expansion and introduction of new protocols were weaponised by big tech.

    The future of clean tech must be made in Europe.

    We’re preparing a Circular Economy Act to:

    ♻️ Boost the use of circular products
    🪨 Reduce dependencies on critical resources
    🌳 Support green innovation

    We’ll also:

    ✅ Speed up investment through the Clean Industrial Deal
    ✅ Use public procurement to encourage green choices
    ✅ Help our aviation and aeronautical sectors stay strong through this transition

    Europe has what it takes to lead the clean tech transition.

    We’re turning ideas into action.

    Scary Cute Scarecrow

    A comic strip in four panels: Panel 1: In the middle of a field of dry wheat ready to harvest, not far away from a farm, stands a cute, young feminin scarecrow made of straw, sticks and old clothes. A crow lands on her, followed by a flock of crows in the distance. She looks worried. Panel 2: The cute scarecrow is humiliated: the crows are not afraid of her; they mock her, make faces at her, take selfies with her and one even poops on her hat. Meanwhile, many of them are eating the precious seeds on the ground. She feels sad about it. Panel 3: The cute scarecrow then has an idea and say something with a wink to the crows around her. All the crows interrupt their business and look at her in horror and shock. > cute scarecrow: I like pineapple on pizza. Panel 4: Happy ending, the flock of crows flies away and the cute scarecrow is happy: she has done her job correctly.

    🤣 there is no way you can run linux or doom on sim card with just 64KB ram but other than that the rest of info is seems correct as sim card does have their own OS, processor, RAM, etc, and you can definitely install and run applets on them. lol.

    A Twitter thread about SIM cards. The first tweet, from user @birdabo404, says: "just found out SIM cards are self contained computers with their own 30 mHz CPU, 64 KB ram and some storage space. also runs 'applets' written in a stripped down form of java. u can technically install linux on ur sim lol." An image below the text shows a size comparison of differnet SIMs. The second tweet, from user @DasFiesel, adds: "fun fact: e-sims are simply images of real sims and run as a VM just like a real sim would - so u can technically install linux or doom on ur e-sim as well :D"

    @NiwlCraft Someone else will probably give you a better more actionable answer. But to me is hope that a better future is possible if we just work towards it. It's like how Star Trek inspired a lot of people to become scientists and engineers to invent the technologies in the TV show. But in Solarpunks case it should inspire people to build a better future for us all. We have too many dystopias already and we need inspirations for better not worse.

    Let us settle things once, and all: Tabs or spaces?

    aanee ,
    @aanee@mastodon.online avatar

    @nixCraft Spaces, cause when you use tabs there is aaaallways a space that sneaks in when vertically aligning stuff. Which then forces everyone to have equal length tabs any way and removing the one benefit of tabs; that you can have your own tab length configured. So since you can't avoid having both if you want readable code, it's better to just expand tabs to spaces and only have spaces. IMHO.
