Discord announced that it’s going to start estimating user ages and using a third-party group to do so, so there is some relevance to it.

No problem! I’m really glad to hear that! I was hoping some people on Lemmy would be interested such a great project so that’s gratifying to hear. I’m definitely looking forward to reading it and hopefully your contribution.

Thanks for the reminder! Just joined the community

You’re free to just ignore the post. Was anyone bragging ? Criterion is one of the first and if a company can love anything they have shown their love for film over the years. They are one company and don’t own film so I don’t understand the animosity. There are plenty of other companies. People in this community are presumably interested in posts about this topic but sounds like it’s not for you, friend.

While there may be some truth in that it’s a pretty broad generalization and the article isn’t about blame it’s about the impact the bill will have.

I cross-posted the author’s post if you want to ask them any questions directly. The link for the novel is on the highlighted words “this indie site” in the post above if that helps. The URL is : https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1810011

Thanks for catching that. It’s valid criticism and the article should attribute more sources. There are other articles about this program that are unfortunately behind a paywall and some just mention “pilot programs” but don’t specify much further. There is this company in The Netherlands which seems likely to be one of them. You’ll need to translate the site to your preferred language.

The article has several links to sources which go into greater detail, each containing their own sources such as this which contains more design info you may find helpful.

From my understanding they are still spending money on fossil fuels like coal to some extent but they’re clearly in the process of transitioning towards green energy and you’re right that they’re surpassing us there, by far.

This Green Energy community is on a Solarpunk instance powered by solar power and a lot of Solarpunk fiction finds hope in dark times by imagining ways people respond to climate catastrophes with resilience, solidarity and community when our governments fail to provide solutions. The DIY and hopeful aspects of Solarpunk, whether real or fiction, seem especially prescient towards our current situation though that’s not denying what you just pointed out.

I definitely agree that people should move forward with solar / wind however they can, especially DIY projects. This will hurt people on on an industrial scale, though and will likely hurt many companies and jobs so it’s still important to be aware and prepared at the least.

It sounds to me like he was saying that wind power does that, which is incorrect, but coal is certainly destructive https://environmentamerica.org/center/articles/how-coal-mining-harms-the-environment/

Thanks for your insightful comments. Sums it up well and I appreciate that you ended on a hopeful, positive note. I agree with you and I think we’ll be seeing more mutual aid groups, DIY efforts and acts of solidarity as ordinary people come together despite the greed and hubris of those in power.

That’s great! I still don’t have one for this year but that sounds like a good way to go to get a few and plan for the year ahead. I’m glad your plants will have friends to flourish with.

Good catch. Hopefully some users from this community will make submissions.

Cool find. Thanks for sharing! Glad to see more Lunarpunk related content that isn’t related to crypto. I signed up for the newsletter. Would love to bring Reddit users and the creator of this website to this community.

Thanks for the clarification
