Sure, it’s a big tent, if all you want is the “solar” part and not the “punk” part you can participate in that half 😆

Ty ❤️

But the “punk” in solarpunk refers to left anarchist politics and rebellion against the capitalist economic machine, and has ever since the term was invented

Yeah TIL 😅 I really have no desire for anarchy, especially when I live an incredibly comfortable life here in Australia

The punk comes from DIY attitude. Build-your-own-robot.

I do a lot of self hosting and I do like DIY so that parts true

My initial association was with Steampunk and its imagery and like the opposite of blade runner visually, this sort of style:

or maybe its been a lifelong fascination since building one of these bad boys in Sim City 2000:

Without the punk, you just have techno optimism, e.g. the Picards on their vinyard without a care in the world because the Federation can provide all their needs without effort, probably with fusion power or something even more fantastic.

That’s true, I did think the other day that if fusion comes along we can bin pretty much all renewables as they’ll be considered more wasteful than fusion, but I quite like that I generate enough power from my solar to power my own home and car… but at the same time I’m here for the planet first, independence from the grid second… I’m gonna leave that, that’s a future conundrum I can have when we get to it

what about chips act?

what about inflation reduction act?

you really can’t name anything positive biden did?

capitalism in my mind can also be the solution to the climate problem while keeping our living standards significantly higher than they were even 100 years ago

i have an ev, solar, battery and heat pump, all products of capitalism

combine capitalism with some socialist polices and you have all the best places to live in the world

Is there a solarpunk without those things? I only wanted to sign up for a future world running on renewables, eg. the opposite of climate doomerism

what does this have to do with solarpunk?

when you say limit to 100 sended emails, do you have a limit of like 100 within 24 hours or 1 hour or something like this?

Why are so many of your posts in World News downvoted?

great article, also TIL

And the computer was invented by Konrad Zuse

His greatest achievement was the world’s first programmable computer; the functional program-controlled Turing-complete Z3 became operational in May 1941. Thanks to this machine and its predecessors, Zuse is regarded by some as the inventor and father of the modern computer

I just think this shows how America-brained so much of the UK is.

Yep, they already had the majority of brands and culture back in the 80s and 90’s but since the internet and especially since social media we’ve never been so american

This place is a bit crazy man, I cannot believe the amount of hate running through peoples veins on a stupid comment on a platform they don’t even use

Yeah I was like if he works in logistics while not ask an employee, surely he’d have a CTO or someone technical nearby to grab?

60 hours a week is the sweet spot of productivity

Where did he get this number from? (please don’t say something like his butt, genuinely curious here)

Is it because Googlers are supposed to be high performers who are highly motivated and well paid therefore can do the 60 hours without dipping in productivity?

How do they measure productivity at Google? surely it wouldn’t be lines of code written?
