I'm wondering what happened to the peace movement of the 80s that the collapse of the Soviet Union could have been handled so much better. Like multilateral disarmament in return for the dismantling of NATO, foreign aid and foreign direct investment that isn't asset stripping rat fuckery. The cultural momentum captured in films like threads, testament and miracle mile just died when the Americans believed that there was nobody left to harm them except terrorists, PMC predators and "urban types".

Preferably there would have been a movement to maintain the Soviet Union in the name of stability alone and that would have saved many lives in eastern europe.

I remember the army not wanting to train "ruffians" or something snobbish like that too.

Yes Minister is a very funny show where you are rooting for out of touch and snobbish civil service to stop Jim Packard's savage neoliberal cuts.

It's leftist counterpart - a very British Coup is insanely good if not completely utterly depressing.

What difference would new plants make? There already plenty of potential nuclear accidents to contaminate several countries in the event of a war.

Nuclear is still better an option than degrowth or industrializing entire planet with dilute renewables.

There are so many potential public work projects. But if we're good we will get basic income and DLCs.

If these are satellites then imagine what would happen to flesh and blood astronauts if he didn't have to kowtow to the "fun police" in NASA.

If it's help OP this is what total impotence looks like. It the ones on the street that we need to focus on.

Browsing through atom feed subscriptions in Lagrange is so comfy.

Gemini is almost impossible to monetize

or parody

The web has become such a dumpster fire that I am trying to stay within the confines of archive.org and the gemini protocol for my own sanity. This is while praying that the IA doesn't fuck up their clunky imperfect but predictable design with a js monstrosity with 72pt fonts that searches every-time you press a key. The Gemini protocol is cool but you can only read so many gemlogs about burn out and depression the odd time there is something interesting like this gemini://gemini.ctrl-c.club/~stack/gemlog/2022-02-07.sabin.gmi

Ncommander is a nice and up and comer if you don't mind watching him play with hardware and software for hours on end without the pro editing of LGR. His christmas live feed was nice as he was trying to save old hardware.

Salvaging old hardware is still the most sustainable way to use computers. The embodied energy in manufacturing hardware is so much worse then what a x86/amd64 CPU will ever use in it's lifetime as well as the ecological crime of dumping the stuff in third world countries. The 3-5 year artifical lifespan of computer hardware is the phoebus cartel of our era when we all know desktops still lasting twenty years.

I am probably horribly wrong but If there was a cohesive global plan to reduce emissions ASAP would require that computer hardware production be frozen to commodity parts based on existing slots/dimms. Over time commodity hardware would replace DVRs/Game Consoles with the triumphant return of the home media PC and your ISP's shitty router with something running OpnWRT or OPNSense that you don't need to replace every six months. They will eat more energy but solar and wind are getting cheaper and cheaper. Their hardware's performance will be stunt but that should be replaced with actually competent software development.

Bob Black is spinning in his feces

Performative outrage about privacy is so Obama era. It's all all about who benefits from the weaponized data and all relevant factions are sick of appeasing these randian nerds with tax cuts.

Futurists are painfully pretentious

Then just say you are asking for an opinion.

Is that just a book or a wiki too?

Honestly yeah, if I have time I will fork it. I am hopefully less annoying.
