Charity is not getting us out of the climate crisis

For small-scale stuff like that it will surely work. It’s unclear if it scales to youtube volumes. Maybe it doesn’t have to though, small scale stuff is valuable too.

Hosting video requires a lot more resources than hosting text, hyperlinks, or even pictures. It might be too much for individuals to self host video on a scale that could even distantly resemble how we use youtube today.

Then again, maybe there are ways to make that burden smaller. IIRC Peertube does do some p2p stuff to try and share the burden a bit but I’ve also heard that it’s not really feasible to rely on that to scale.

When I started my phd (in a different country, during late covid times) my only collegue who would have sat in my room always worked from home. It wasn’t very fun at all. Well, very few people came to the office anyways, so I just had to try and figure out everything by myself, eat lunch alone, etc. etc.

I am so much happier now in a 4 person room where I have 1-3 collegues to talk to depending on the day.

They can try all they want. I see that occasionally on the websites people sell their stuff on. But usually even those people are willing to sell for a reasonable offer if their ad has been up for a long time.

In my country, a lot/most of the second hand selling is done by normal people

Depending on the type of product there may be several times the necessary amount already laying around.

that’s such a pedantic point

I don’t really care, both are pretty fucking bad

You can probably write your commit messages in most markup languages, whether it gets nicely rendered like it does here is a whole other topic

I think you could have just added a TLDR in the beginning of the commit message

1. 70% of eu residents live in ”urban clusters”. So I am ”only responding” for 70% of people, a number that will probably rise over time too.

2. Not only downtown/commercial/recreational areas need to be walkable. Walkability is good in all areas if possible. It makes everything simpler for everybody.

3. I am not arguing against the elcrification of cars, I am arguing for decreasing the number of cars over time simultaneously with elecrification.

Electric cars are cool and all but you can’t have walkable cities and simultaneously store one vehicle per person on their streets

I mean you can post and comment on the programmer humor community pretty long before stumbling on the topic of communism. But yeah I don’t think we disagree here

Even if you do, the worst thing that can happen is them banning you on a bunch of their communities

Ok? Why does that matter if you’re not on their server
