@jesseplusplus@mastodon.social @pfefferle@mastodon.social I fixed up NodeBB's janky handling of collections and now I am able to import an entire Frequency conversation via its context :tada:

We do know a lot from archeology and so on, yes. But the same is true for ancient egypt.
But at least to my knowledge, there is next to no continous practise of these traditions anywhere in Europe for many generations now.
I mean if historical reenactment is a hobby this guy enjoys doing, fine with me. But I see very little point in trying to revive a tradition that is that long dead and forgotten.
He is a scholar with a phd in history and religion. The point is that are in a time where we need to reconnect with nature. A bit like we are trying to do with solar punk. And you can’t do that with Christianity. You could even argue that the Abrahamic religions are an indirect cause of the climate crisis, because it makes human the most important species with the right to rule over nature.
A lot of native people have an animist religion with a deep connection to nature and the western world need to rediscover that. At least that’s what a lot of modern animist believe. I think it’s worth exploring.

Multi-typing is not necessary, it can be an Application without a second type, or an object with a non-standard type but duck-typed as actor.
Anyway, there is a bigger problem. This FEP doesn't explain what "following" means if Follow.object is not an actor. ActivityPub spec says that Follow is used to subscribe to actor's activities, but what follower is supposed to receive from an object? Objects don't perform activities.
Regarding topic subscriptions, I already talked about my preferred solution in another thread. Now there is a formal proposal: codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…
Thanks for sharing. It has some good thoughts and indeed we need think about what we want to actually achieve and not be shy about it.
But maybe it is better to not think of it as a future goal but rather as reminder of the possibilities. All too often we restrict our thinking to what we think is realistic and that then becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy by itself.

Hey solarpunks!
I'm Clockwork, an Italian solarpunk physicist, juggler and writer. I would like share my website with you; I've set it up two years ago with zero html knowledge and I have given it a new revamp recently. Since I write in English but the publishing system is extremely walled, I want to make myself known among likeminded people without selling my soul.
I write mostly solarpunk (you can check out the short story page and the Meteorina "saga" (three long stories, with a fourth one coming soon), but you can also find some Neolithic fantasy and scifi with community and resistance themes. All stories are FREE TO DOWNLOAD; there are no Amazon links and most files are interoperable and freely accessible. There is a donation button but I'd rather you enjoy these stories in a non-transactional way.
I hope you will find them interesting and possibly get inspired!
EDIT: I'm an idiot, here's the link! Thank you for pointing it out 😅
EDIT2: Here's the Telegram channel if you want to receive bi-weekly updates!

Where have you been hiding! I just checked out one of your solarpunk short stories (Martedì // Tuesday, thank you for writing and translating). I loved how much dialogue there was. I don't usually think of more "technical" minded people (like physicists) as being so focused on characters (we often focus on technology or systems), but that shows my prejudice I guess!
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. :)
That's so flattering, thank you! 🥹
Your prejudice was half-right actually: tech and systems are what I really want to explore, but I use shorter stories as "experiment" to practice other aspect of storytelling too. After all, characters are the most powerful illusion spell on the reader!
What's going to be next:
- More Meteorina adventures (surely one on Elba, maybe one on Albanian shores considering the shitshow going on with the Italian govt nowadays? Some good old satire, why not)
- Kanteletar, the stories of a public digital library founded in 2067 across four centuries of climate, geopolitical and cultural upheavals

Whats a good tool for tracking my emissions?I tried apps like Klima and Earth Hero. Earth Hero is especially good but I would like to play with the numbers myself for specific scenarios like snapshots of my emissions, planning my next year, logging my specific air travel, hobbies, etc.
If anyone has a spreadsheet model I would be grateful. Otherwise I can build one. Earth Hero gives a lot of references to their source models.

Even though I mostly agree with the conclusion of this article, it is a pretty bad take otherwise. They even partially contradict themselves and in general seem to think that there is no such thing as an equilibrium, but only boom or bust (and yes reaching and maintaining an equilibrium is hard work).
If I had time and motivation I would write an parody on this article from the view of the late Roman empire where a person complains about how society can not survive without slave labor and how everything is build on it and so on. Yes, the Roman empire did eventually collapse, but not because of a lack of cheap slave labor.

Hahaha. I think they sorta acknowledge the existence of an equilibrium by saying that the 'collapse' wouldn't happen overnight but over several decades

Errol Musk named his son after a character in a sci-fi book by the inventor of the V-2 Rocket, Wernher von BraunJim Stewartson (MindWar: The Psychological War on Democracy)
a) how do I keep discovering accounts of people I admire on this platform,
b) I fucking LOVE Accelerando and the Eschaton series,
c) that... really comforts me in a strange way. I always thought Veppers was supposed to be Bezos, but this is even better.
And lastly I am sorry for the loss of your friend.
"Veppers... is based on Musk"
If this is true, then it's a remarkable bit of SF foresight, because in 2010, Musk was nowhere near what he is now. He wasn't even in the top 100 richest. He was rich, but not even a billionaire. It was such a different time that even Jeff Bezos was just #43 in the world (this is from Forbes 2010). We didn't yet have our current technofeudalism centered on Internet tycoons; the tech tycoons in the top 10 were Bill Gates and Larry Ellison.
Regarding the main topic of this thread, I too had wondered if the name is a clue that Elon was the golden child of some secret cult of upper-class Space Nazis, their anointed one destined to realize the Iron Dream. But if one is to entertain such thoughts, you should be aware that it was also the middle name of a maternal great-grandfather, John Elon Haldeman, who was apparently a Minnesota school teacher who emigrated to Canada with his chiropractor wife.
Musk was already a famous multi-millionaire with a dot-com history, a rocket program, and IIRC an electric car company. Musk was playing at James Bond villainy back in the 00s. (And I used to go to the pub with Iain.)
As for the name I thought it was well known that the Musk family were involved in the Technocracy movement?

I think that often the confusion when talking about solarpunk happens because solarpunk as per now it's a term that includes different subset of its characteristics without being necessarily superimposable with each other
2 examples:
- can have solarpunk aesthetic produced in a non solarpunk way
- can have solarpunk movements not relying on the solarpunk aesthethic
Seems like a fair summary, yes 👍
Is there a source for that image, or did you make it yourself by the way? Just wondering if it was part of an article or so.
did you make it yourself

I mean, animals are exploited by other animals all the time... The relationships can be mutually beneficial though or at least commensal (one species benefits while the other neither benefits nor is harmed)
There are wasps that mimic bees and take over their hives for their own breeding purposes.
Some prairie dogs use bird calls as a predator warning system, which the bird exploits to steal the prairie dog's food.
Cuckoo birds lay their eggs in the nests of other birds to be raised by them
Some ants farm aphids for their sugary secretions
People were able to live side by side with so many animals over millennia without destroying entire populations. So I'd say that humans using animals instead of machines can be quite solarpunk.
I know you mean well, but the first part of your comment is an appeal to nature - the assertion that because some thing is natural, that it is good, or at least unavoidable. In reality it sidesteps the question: is animal exploitation part of solarpunk?
I believe in harm reduction and imperfect solutions, so I would say yes, to a certain degree.
But I don't want to be all negative (doomerism is the antithesis of solarpunk after all). You raise some good examples, and for my part, if we can show that animal suffering under human care is less than if they were left totally free, then I would feel a lot less gross about it.
I never said that animal exploitation is good, just that it is 'natural' in the world. Solarpunk, as an idea, has everything to do with nature. Coexisting and living with it, rather than against it.
Is it wrong to use ladybugs as a form of pest control instead of harmful chemicals?
It's it wrong to ride a horse around a farm instead of an ATV or even an electric UTV?
Additionally, the definition of exploitation can vary wildly from person to person, and even moreso between cultures. So imo, pretty much everything that happens in the animal kingdom is party of solarpunk. The "good" and the "bad." As nothing is all good or all bad. Even murder can be justified in the most extreme cases (i.e. Hitler, Stalin, Trump, billionaire CEOs, etc )
Consent to be loved, and protected from predators and disease? Or their consent for me taking a margin of their labor?

I think this reasoning applies well to solarpunk. It’s true that ethical consumerism doesn’t scale etc but we have to resist the urge to give money to the people who will commodify solarpunk just for cheap merch and media.
For example:
game full of bad messages but made by a workers coop and ethically distributed > game with solarpunk aesthethic made by limited liability company that took or wants to take VCs money and run in the capital race

People will (understandably) have some reservations about the crickets, but there are some really awesome ideas being put into practice here.
I like it that they are growing their own mushrooms and utilizing the substrate byproducts.
It's cool to see all of their inspirations they've collected from different places they've gone to and all of their experiments (like the arid desert climate one especially).
I really like their mechanical contraptions that combine exercise and functional necessities for energy saving purposes.
Their space is really cool and inspirational.
