Personally I think that is great, ending societal domination of “early bird” people sounds very enticing

Well, you know it’s a poor countries problem, rich north will be totally insulated from any of this (sarcasm)

Ok. Is using AI compatible in the slightest with the very idea of Solarpunk? I’d say no - either 80% of commenters here are migrants from other communities or you should really rethink your life. (Really, defending AI power usage!? It’s a waste regardless if it uses 2 million tokens or 1)

Well, that’s both demobilising and sad. I know honesty, realism and all that but somehow can’t stop thinking - there are forces building myths about glorious past, great golden ages of ancestors where the small listened and worshipped the GOOD elites and perfect prophets/sons of god. And they are very successful. Can’t we have A LITTLE hope?

Nah, I think that you wasted enough of my time with your bullshit xD

What do you know about history of tabacco and smoking?

Links to older studies are literally in the first line of the article.

I have only induction stoves for 15 years now and the only thing that “sucks” is a) old electric that just required time to get used to b) touch control panel instead of buttons/knobs

AI researcher “wisdom” as basis for the article? Check Wall Street Journal article about how “Europe is dying” because of Renewables. Check. I thought Vox was a good source in the past, but now I’m not so sure. And I AGREE with the thesis in the title of this article.

They need to be installed outside to actually work, but they are very good at reducing temperature inside (I had them installed on my southwest facing windows). Air conditioning is ok, but it’s also such a lazy solution and it seemingly prevents people from even trying to come up with different ideas.

Spineless. How did the conservatives and liberals manage to keep convincing European voters that they are something else than big tech& trump&putin bootlickers, I’ll never understand.

Hiker decided to keep checking himself after hiking - decision criticized by bloodsucking ticks

Skin cancer. But you know, I also like to be protected from sun while not being fried alive inside of my clothes.

Ukraine stopped placating Trump about a year ago, focused on their own military capacity and this strategy pays out pretty well at the moment. Which IS a monumental shift.

AI craze in “Europe” (not all Europe) is another example of some people blindly following USA for no real reasons. There is political fight right now and we have to decide whether we will forge our own better destiny or fall prey to American ruling class of tech bros, billionaires and conservatives who are their executive branch.

Oh, come on. No acceleration IST actually caused that problem. Ignoring hundreds of small problems for the sake of profit and sloth caused it. And it’s not really worse than the alternative, just a bit different

There will never be an apocalyptic collapse that Judeo-Christian societies are prone to envision. Life just doesn’t want that way…

I didn’t expect so many people on solarpunk forum crying for protection of dirty gas appliances 🤔

Oh, I like these initiatives - when they were moving a puppet theatre in my city they recycled a lot of materials and made an exhibition about that process
