I still haven’t played it but I have it on my list thanks to an Italian review that pointed out some healthy aspects:
- no minimap, so you have to actually get guided by exploring interesting stuff around you; basically nullifying the “I have to go there to enjoy playing” effect
- you get to choose your role basically just by doing the stuff you prefer; basically if you like climbing and keep doing climbing stuff eventually you will bring the character to be a climber (the story is about a travel of self discovery, no progression stats iirc)
- no fighting, mostly like a realistic exploration lived irl

If only we did not give up on social distributed verification instead of an automatic one e_e

Yep. Also not a surprise that the wine society from the post is neither from Italy nor France :)

It’s actually “us” in the political tech space that started using techno optimism as derogatory I think. I don’t know why you think that techno-optimism label was ever a good one and then co-opted :o
Cyberpunk was co-opted by the Californian ideology but “techno-optimism” I don’t think so…

I don't see how being critical and optimistic about tech is mutually exclusive
It’s not… But it’s a bit like the word “feminism” that includes much more than women struggles. Techno-optimists it’s not about being positive about some technology.
Not all of them, but to me being tech-positive and understanding technologies can be sustainable is at the core of solarpunk
I agree, hence we say solarpunk and not techno-optimists :P

Longtermism doesn’t mean long term thinking and techno optimism doesn’t mean not being negative about technology my friend
I understand your point but we have to accept that longtermism and technoptimism are the terms we use for what you call extreme. Like racism is not just “talking about race” and so on :)
We have a term to call ourself and it’s solarpunks!

It’s about probability… Like an AI will have the same bias as the data it’s trained on, only talking about data and trends when talking about politics shows us the most probable stuff without taking into account the very good solutions.
Basically what I’m saying is: kurzgesagt it’s not a politics channel but a science one. They take data and read it for us. At most they are being a bit reactionary, but I wouldn’t say techno optimist :/
We want to aim to solarpunk society for sure but that doesn’t mean we have to ignore that it’s slow, hard and the actual trend is different.
BIG P.S. I must say for transparency that I still haven’t watched today’s video

Techno-optimism means thinking that a technological solution will fix our issues. As solarpunks we, for example, are critical of a lot of tech uses and a lot of incentives that do not allow the best tech to emerge just by being “better tech” like a tech optimist would think. Check out Californian ideology stuff.
About longtermism: basically it’s caring less about the suffering of today thinking about working towards better condition for the people of tomorrow. In a stupid simple way: giving 10€ to research for fusion instead of using them to feed a child for one month because people will suffer anyway and the faster we arrive at the fusion the less people will suffer.
That said, I don’t think kurzgesagt is that much tech optimist, it’s just a channel that focuses on harder sciences so it’s easier to focus on “can this technology work” more than “can this policy work”
For the longtermism part, some video ye lol

I’ve tried using simplex but it’s simply (ahah) too slow for groups
I like it privacy wise but I think it’s better for small groups (<10) and 1 on 1 chats
Big chats are kinda a scam anyway, they should be forums lol

I don’t want to silence this discussion because the “worn out bodies” comment is actually useful to be debunked and discussed
But pls read the slrpnk.net rules
There is space to disagree but be more constructive 🤝

tht option often not available to people working at lower wage jobs
Cannot fix the need of stronger unions with cargo bikes for sure
Here in Italy they can have sick days, not an issue usually

Death by 1000 cuts
I was watchin the last episode of ''earthsounds'' (docuseries that you can find on torrent) and they said to have used one of this with a microphone mounted under it to record better sounds from whales (because they travel a looooooot and not always on the same routes). Autonomous robot solarpowered to catch better ocean data, pretty solarpunk to me :3 p.s. the series is nice even tho first 4 episodes have much more cool sounds; it's also interesting to see how hard it is to capture the sounds at the end of every episode p.p.s. ye, it's not open source, by a company owned by boeing and probably also used for militar purposes so it's not perfectly as we would like it to be
i don't like sharing crowdfundings because there are a looooot of them; but i feel like this can be an exception for 3 reasons: - it's Gaza - i know that the hacker association behind it is more than honest - dulcis in fundo, looks like a very much solarpunk solution on a lot of fronts, it's not ''just'' the usual mutual aid :D
what bugs me the most is thinking that if lemmy became as relevant as reddit, servers to spam all over the threadiverse would be created nonstop ***does anyone have some resources into solutions for spam in stuff like email?*** i'd like to check if having some giants gatekeepers like microsoft and google is inevitable
except for the ''new experiences'' sentence it's a lovely article :)
I've also tried with red stars but red on green kinda triggers my astigmatism
is it halt or dead? the github loooks dead and also this https://opensourceecology.dozuki.com/c/History/Root
Basically the title says it all lol.
