Seriously - where'd they go?Links 'n' stuff:Technology Connections on Mastodon:https://mas.to/@TechConnectifyTechnology Connections on Bluesky:https://bsky.a...
I live in a desert, I have coatings in my windows. Installing awnings still dropped my monthly cooling by almost 15% for the four months a year I use climate control. The really good window coatings are far more expensive than awnings to install and construction materials aren’t so easy to get in Mexico, maybe in Belgium they have unlimited money and access but there are like 7.5 billion other people in the world who live outside of Europe.
I’m no expert on this subject at all, i’m not pro or contra awnings, i just felt bad for someone going into deeper detail on modern techologies getting downvoted for not agreeing with the video because he works in the industry, while making good points (and having his points ignored)
If you have a situation were awnings worked really well, and are cheaper than modern alternatives, awesome, well done :)
Activitypub down votes are spam imo, they are fully public too so if you run Lemmy software you can see it’s mostly just bullshit, drive-by dowvotes and really mad people retaliation downvoting an entire profile. I didn’t vote in this thread
I’m not assuming any of the people discussing here are doing the voting, but also in the discussion his points were being ignored. And i love me a good technology connections video too, but someone from the industry dotting some of the i’s that technology connections missed was interesting :)
Btw, thanks for also discussing in good faith :). And your example of awnings in Mexico (and how the most modern technologies are indeed not available/practical everywhere) is also a great contribution :).
