There's room for an American ethical phone maker. There's room for far more than two such companies in the world

I feel like people who care about mechanical keyboards already have too many highly repairable, highly upgradable keyboards

I know I have enough that I have two plugged into the one machine for super easy switching

ISPs buy the cheapest reasonable equipment they can. When I have had equipment killed by lightning, the ISP's VDSL router has always been among the dead

It especially sucks that the ISP isn't following whatever standards there are, so other VDSL modems can't connect

The typo indicates you typed that in a huff and a hurry. Please watch the videos I linked. My optimism isn't completely misplaced.

The planet will be fine. It might suck for humans for a while (especially bad for poor people), but we will succeed in bringing carbon levels back to whatever is best for us (somewhere between pre-industrial and a hundred years ago, I suppose)

Right now the cheapest electricity is renewable. We are making inroads into electrifying transport and running planes and ships on renewable energy. There is money being pumped into research to find low carbon ways of making steel and concrete.

Once electricity is clean and transport is clean we're a long way towards cleaning up industry. Electricity, transport, and industry are the two biggest wedges in the emissions pie chart

There are clear paths to make agriculture cleaner through renewable fertilisers and treatments for ruminants' methane emissions (which oxidises the methane to CO2 (which is carbon neutral unless their feed was fertilised with fossil carbon))

I think it's because the people put in charge of the films are incompetent

In comparison, the old Dune film used a lot of voice over

They probably have a good collection they want to share.

Do you enjoy telling people that their tastes are wrong? That doesn't seem a wholesome way of viewing other people.

It's especially odd to think someone's taste is wrong when it reaches the front page, indicating it's a popular taste.

I find it unremarkable that a person who created a greentext community likes greentext

Sure, but it was internet that made these tiny scattered groups into large findable ones

Before the internet you would need to live near a proud and loud toaster fucker to find a group

Old furries in tech are in tech because they learnt and used early computer networks to connect with other furries
