@hn100 repairable electronics (or whatever product) is good, but for true sustainability we should learn to live without electronic junk altogether.

DID YOU KNOW??Everytime you pull out your anti-establishment mask Time Warner earns money from you.Time Warner owns the rights to the image, and at over 100,000 masks a year, it is by far the company's best-selling facial costume.https://theweek.com/articles/463151/brief-history-guy-fawkes-mask

@boilingsteam @openscience curios about where you live. In Europe there's hardly any place to be found, except maybe north Scandinavia.

"There's a relentless pressure to act happy now. You have to go to the office. You have to go to bars and restaurants. You have to go to concerts. You have to go on vacation. You have to post about it.You have to talk to strangers.But...You can't talk about all the friends and family you've lost. You can't talk about how tired you are. You can't talk about politics. You can't talk about climate change. You can't talk about the wildfires or that town that burned down. You can't talk about living through the hottest days in human history. You can't talk about masks or air purifiers. You can't talk about student loans. You can't talk about the wars we're fighting or getting ready to fight.You can't talk about anything that matters."==================💯 I can very much relate to this. During all the research and writing of my book, I often felt the need to talk about all the shit that's happening and the amazing info I found, but no, it's kinda taboo.Just be happy and party while we can...🙁 (when you don't want to close your eyes for the darker side of our existence: my book #CrashCourse can be downloaded for free for my Mastodon followers until Friday 18 Aug. 12:00 UTC (midday))Text above is from a post from:https://www.okdoomer.io/watching-the-world-burn-on-our-phones/#doom #covid #ClimateChange #Fires

"You can tell that the end of summer is coming. The nights are cooler, the shadows are longer, and we're all worried again about the return of Covid..."On the positive side, my followers can still download my book for free until the 18th of Aug. 12:00 UTC 😉

@gerrymcgovern Well, if all other reasons to leave Meta don't convince you, here is another very good one! 😀 When you join Mastodon instead, do the following to keep your data footprint small:* auto-delete your posts after a relatively short period,* use smaller pictures when posting pictures, both small in resolution and with effective compression, like jpg at <70% or webp at a low setting.PS And if you run a website or webserver, go light-weight.Like my server and website:https://crashcoursebook.eu/Raspberry-Pi-as-a-lean-web-server.html

@tante I think the collapse that we're facing is more than just/only a result from capitalism and/or privatisation.It all goes together with the collapse of the ecosystem, resource shortages, pollution (for example climate change) and a society that is growing to be too complex to maintain for a population that is too large (the overshoot phenomena)

@tomjennings Yep, compare with this:According to estimates, the average modern car has between 1,400 and 1,500 semiconductor chips.Imagine how the circuit diagram would look like.https://www.icdrex.com/how-many-semiconductor-chips-in-a-modern-car/#cars #electronics #semiconductors #CrashCourse #collapse

@ChanceyFleet I have to say that I sometimes spend more time on the image alt-text than on the post itself.Good to hear it is so well received 🙏
