David Fincher – „The Social Network“ (2010)

Ein Film von David Fincher, nach einem Buch von Aaron Sorkin, über eine der umstrittensten Personen der Gegenwart. Eigentlich ein „No-Brainer“, dass es sich dabei um ein Werk auf der Höhe seiner Zeit handelt. Doch vielleicht kam er einfach ein paar Jahrzehnte zu früh? Nichtsdestotrotz: Hoch sehenswert!

How to stop surveillance capitalism at its root.


Als Antwort auf subarctictundra

The way to stop surveillance capitalism is to... replace the beeg capitalists with a bunch of smol capitalists?

In ten years, fifty smol capitalists will have merged into five beeg all over again.

I don't see the solution here.

Als Antwort auf thisfro

This is Sports as a Weapon and InRangeTV. This is exactly what Tactical Girlfriend does. Anarchists and those who are close have been doing this FOR YEARS. Just stop ignoring us and listen to us.

Edit: I'm so sick of liberals erasing all of our work and then "coming up with a great strategy" that's exactly the one we've been trying to get them to follow for almost a decade.

Edit: also, this is almost entirely the wrong take. Fash dump insane amounts of money in to brainwashing and the burning of the 3rd precinct was more popular than either political party. One fucking Luigi and their whole machine exploded in their face. The take away is that they are really fragile and really bad at this shit. We should celebrate and keep pushing.

You know what would help a lot? If liberals stopped fucking over leftists all the time. Just listen to anarchists instead of erasing us!

Edit: ffs.

Kaum ein Mittel hilft: Ameiseninvasion in Deutschland schreitet voran





I'm starting small. Want to get off-grid the efficient way


I want only portable devices like solar, and hand-crank chargers. I want to be able to boil water, charge my Laptop and phone, run my induction stove for a few minutes thrice a day, want it rugerdized at some point, and want to depend on my equipment for day to day life as preparation for having no support.

How am I doing so far? Did I waste money?

Als Antwort auf WorldsDumbestMan

poVoq linked an article from Low Tech Magazine, which is a great resource for low energy sustainable living. I wanted to highlight this older article from them, too:

solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2016…

It's not clear to me, from your post, if you're thinking about making a home/apartment "off grid", and limiting your powered appliances to what solar power can cover to prepare for future disruptions to the power grid, or about living outside a fixed dwelling and using portable solar to power a few accessories like a portable induction stove. This matters because solar panels are bulky and batteries are heavy - charging a laptop and phone is trivial with a man-portable setup, but a solar generator capable of boiling water and cooking is not going to fit in a reasonably sized backpack 😆

If you're thinking about "bugging out" or "going off the grid" in the survivalist sense, living with only the equipment you take with you, you might get better answers on equipment from camping and survivalist forums.

Als Antwort auf stabby_cicada

Yes, I am planning to actively make use of a bugout kit every day at home. The idea is to be comfortable living with what would otherwise be an emergency situation, falling back on the grid only when necessary. I then want to make more of the exact same kits for my family, and then convince other people to do it too.
Als Antwort auf WorldsDumbestMan

Yeah, that's definitely a camping/survivalist/prepping question and outside my expertise. I suspect it'll take you a long time to learn to be "comfortable" living that way, though 😆
Als Antwort auf stabby_cicada

Oh what the hell, I already lived like ass. What's a bit more in return for true freedom?
Als Antwort auf WorldsDumbestMan

I have been using off-grid gear primarily for the last 6 years, both things that I can backpack with (I like goal zero crush light btw) and the larger/heavier stuff in my car.

Overall, the practical use of energy makes most cooking separate from my solar system. The acception is a 12v water boiler, but that is mostly while on the road. A wood stove is what I use most of the time, either a full size in a cabin, or a portable titanium one, with twigs and pinecones. It's surprising how little is needed to boil a few cups of water.

If it's a sunny day, just setting a black pot out in the sun will help get most of the heat (and mirrors if you want to get fancy), then less energy will be needed to bring it to boil.

It's not impossible to cook off my system, but it would be a huge drain, and I rather run a computer all day or an electric blanket all night.

Swarming insects [poem]


Insects come out at the crepuscular times
Between two extremes, hot and bright, dark and cold
The sun rays cast through an ocean of motes
Dust, pericarps, insects, hummingbirds, bats
Even in concrete suburbs I am reminded of the ocean we live under
This atmosphere would suffocate me
I am a masked intruder in the toxic jungle

[the toxicity is seasonal allergies]

I want to share some information about a repository we just published. ap-components is a set of Web Components for building interfaces for the ActivityPub API. I built it as I was making a sample application for handling the acct: URI scheme. I found myself making more and more components for the UI, and realised that they would probably be useful for other applications, too.

The library is available on npm at @socialwebfoundation/ap-components. It currently covers some of the simplest ActivityPub data, but I hope to expand it to give visibility to other types of objects and activities. Please feel free to try it out and let us know if it’s helpful for your work.

They are not zero dependency however, they are built with the help of lit.js.

Growing the Shire, Not the ‘Burb: Facing the Housing Crisis with Ecological Sanity


Als Antwort auf stabby_cicada

Looking back now, knowing what I know, it might have been better had I been raised in the hills of Romania, including the unpleasant bit of living under dictatorship


Is this a serious article? I'm all for getting rid of suburbs but the author seems to be advocating for the whole world to move into farming communes.

I think it lacks imagination to suggest that urban areas cannot be sustainable or developed sustainably and that instead we should all go live agrarian lifestyles.

Als Antwort auf Mavvik

In this particular article, I think, the author is advocating for rural communes as a solution to the American housing crisis - and, in general, as one potential form of sustainable living - that's both cheaper and more sustainable than what the United States has been trying for decades.

The author does believe Western urban society is unsustainable due to fundamental resource constraints, but you don't have to agree on that to think about "Hobbit villages" as one possible sustainable community model.

Let a thousand flowers bloom, right?

Als Antwort auf stabby_cicada

I think that's fair enough but it kind of ignores the multitude of reasons that people live in cities, with job availability being just one factor. There are many areas in North America where people could go buy cheap land and set up a homestead and live this kind of lifestyle the author is advocating for but there isn't a mass movement of people out to those places.

One of my favorite things about solarpunk is that it feels like practical utopianism, achieving the changes you want to see in society in the place you live with the people and community that you are connected to. It doesnt really feel like a solution to hugh housing costs to say "just move people to rural areas". I think there is absolutely a place for some agrarian revival movement in solarpunk, but I prefer the vision of dense rural communities surrounded by farmland with accessibility to and from urban areas via public transit.

Als Antwort auf stabby_cicada

I'm sorry, but using data from US averages (largely representative of single-family-home suburbs) to make sweeping statements about how urban living is bad is simply misleading and borderline irresponsible. Living in a multi-family building, living without a car, getting electricity from renewables, and using electricity for heating and cooking is insanely energy efficient. It takes advantage of density to reduce infrastructure needs, and can benefit from having resources developed / farmed at scale, further reducing energy and emissions.

If you need ANY infrastructure to connect your "shire" to anywhere else, you need to include that in your analysis. It will have a massive impact. Need a car? You've already lost. The road infrastructure per capita alone will put you over the edge, let alone the infrastructure required to build and maintain said car or the emissions from the car itself if not electric.



User Experience Study on BookWyrm – Looking for Your Feedback


Dieser Beitrag wurde bearbeitet. (1 Woche her)

Als Antwort auf keepthepace

As with most things, when big corporations take over it becomes bad. Definitely agree with you that using it as your only way of getting info is bad, but it's not much different from relying on one influencer or podcaster for all your info other than it being more likely to be more well researched. I will say at least with my local one it's a pretty diverse method of entertainment. They've got all kinds of weird and quirky shows on.
Als Antwort auf countrypunk

It is not only corporations. Single governmental voices are bad too, and many non-profits have their own political biases.

The difference with influencers and podcasters is that you have the choice between thousands of them. Radio would be like having the choice only between the top 5 of youtube, and you would have to tune in at a precise time to get it.

Right we’d be interested in switching to something that is more in line with Solarpunk ideals as well but the main way of communicating is a weekly group call, so that functionality would need to exist on the Plattform we switch to. I’ll look into XMPP
Als Antwort auf Alcor

Should mention that Slrpnk.net hosts an XMPP instance which any Slrpnk member can access using their existing slrpnk lemmy login. You can access it via our Movim instance in the browser, or from any other XMPP client :D

I believe you should be able to create a room there that other people could connect to.

It's different from Discord in that you can't have a whole server with various different categories and rooms, it just has individual group chats (though possible to create multiple group chats of different subjects).

If having a single big server with different rooms is needed, I think Element (Matrix protocol) can do that.

Dieser Beitrag wurde bearbeitet. (1 Woche her)
Als Antwort auf Alcor

Does anyone in the group selfhost? I just installed Jitsi Meet (which is like zoom) on my server and it sounds like that could work for you. I've only just tested it out and haven't had any big calls on it yet but it seems great. How many people usually join the weekly call?
Dieser Beitrag wurde bearbeitet. (1 Woche her)
Als Antwort auf Churbleyimyam

We normally do voice only calls of around 15 people max, so I think finding just a platform for that wouldn’t be that big of a problem. But it would be great if announcements and text communication in-between the calls could also happen on the platform, it’s already not easy to get people to attend regularly so I don’t want to put too many hurdles in their way, doesn’t really serve anyone if we have the perfect solution but nobody shows up anymore…I’ve been looking at Revolt as a true discord replacement and I could see ourselves realistically switching without losing too many people once the mobile apps are out of early access. But that’s for the group to decide.
Als Antwort auf Alcor

Interested, but not on discord, which is like the opposite of solarpunk.
Bookwyrm would be cool, though, or lemmy/kbin/etc

Trying to be solarpunk in a capitalist world


So im a very typical American. Cars, big lawn, etc. I do the best I can with a garden, fixing my own cars instead of buying new, and trying not to buy things packaged in plastic. I also want to make most of my lawn clovers and wildflowers etc because I hate the boringness of grass and want biodiversity.

Now I think the solarpunk movement is awesome, but I feel like im just a poser. Obviously I can't leave my house and go live in a grass hut. Im also one of those people with a million hobbies, so im always doing things (and by extension, purchasing things, though usually used). I've also always been a car guy, which kind of goes against the whole eco thing. Though I do pretty much only drive smaller cars. I wont buy electric until they are analog and disconnected from any sort of internet.

I feel like there's many out there like me who just feel they wont make any difference anyways so they don't get as involved. But what other things can someone like me do? I've thought about some panels on the house to potentially run small servers off of, but that's pretty much it

Als Antwort auf applemao

The fact that youre the typical American with all the typical possesions is enough because of the fact that youre adopting the habits needed in a solarpunk world.

There are plenty of valid reasons why you should still drive a gas car, if you need it then you need it. Bottom line is, evs arent practical for many people/areas atm but until the situation changes, youre good

Continue adapting and youll soon realize how far youve come.

Ukrainians Are Designing The Future Of Post-War Reconstruction


Als Antwort auf Nyssa

Since the Russian invasion in 2022, some of Ukraine’s local leaders and networks of their allies worldwide have discussed rebuilding in what would amount to two phases. First, everyday citizens would use democratic processes — from online tools to deliberative bodies like citizens’ assemblies — to make plans for their own localities. Second, reconstruction money would go directly to local governments, rather than via national governments and international aid groups, to enact those plans.


In a few months, I expect to see headlines about how this all collapses after ~~CIA agents~~ definitely local citizens ~~sabotage their economy~~ stage a successful campaign to liberate them from the evils of communism.
