I would rather a person in a car hits another person in a car than a car hit a pedestrian because the braking worked the way it should.

So, what you are saying is that all the people using steam combined might make it to the top 100 list of billionaires if their unplayed games were personified?

Please don’t buy into geoengineering. We need to repair our relationship to nature through rewilding. We should be changing the way we live, giving up large monoculture crop that goes toward animal husbandry and rewilding the planet to sequester carbon emissions. We are in this situation because our ancestors changed the land and the wildlife so radically in our attempts to industrialize. We overfished, killed whales, ran large predators into extinction, removed most old growth forest among many other things. Humans have tried geoengineering before, we dam rivers, flood planes, dig canals, level the earth and introduce species where they are not native, among large chemical, mineral, metal and other injections to the ground, sky and water. The climate models see carbon sequestration, SRM and geoengineering as attractive options because it lets us continue business as usual. We do need rapid change, of the way we live and with our relationship with the earth.

You are correct this is called geoengineering and it is born of the hubris of humans thinking they should control the planet like a machine or something. The person you replied to I believe is appealing to other people who think Promethean action is irresponsible and instead we need to modify our relationship with the environment, by not continuing down the path we are on.

Honesty, I’m OK with slowing down and consuming less if it is night and the wind isn’t blowing. Lets just use that time for rest, instead of being in hyper production mode all the time.

People are already dying. Our existing system which is built on exploitation causes countless people to be sacrificed to support the way we live right now. How many people are you willing to sacrifice with poisoned waterways and medical conditions caused by unsafe working conditions, as mentioned in the article?

I’m ready to start taking steps toward a society that does not exploit people or the earth, if that means our lifespan is impacted, I’ll take that as fallout. Obviously I’d give up more of my own lifestyle as an able bodied person to support others and provide whatever I can for a just society. So yeah, if we can’t do this together, I’d rather not do it at all.

Well, you answered your own question. We need to give up on “modern society” if our way of living can’t change to ease the exploitation of peoples and the earth, we shouldn’t partake.

Oh yeah, with the system we’ve got, there is too much separation between consumption and production of commodities. It is so much leg work to try to have some semblance of ethical consumption, but we’ll just keep trying to make the moves in the right direction. The left certainly has a past with animal exploitation and even geoengineering. I think it is just promethian-ism that is the problem really, the domination of nature.

Tutanota doesn’t have a good way to export emails in bulk. Their feature set is getting richer, but once invested, the exit cost is quite high, speaking from experience.

mailbox.org has pretty good pgp key integration and will encrypted all emails that come in with a public key of your choosing.

Both of these statements are statistically correct

I actually find that a lot of the vegans I know don’t consider worker rights or mineral extraction when they make choices. As a leftist that has recently been trying very hard to go full vegan find there is a stark trade off I am forced to make when it comes to meeting a budget and also considering the imperialist extraction of the earth usually by exploited workers.

Yeah sure. I’ll pull it all down and reproduce and try to get the conflicts sorted out and push the repo up somewhere. I’ve never built a Debian kernel before but I’m sure I can figure it out!
