The criticism of the problems in our recycling system is valid, but almost every time people spin these criticisms into dismissing the system entirely. We need to be more accountable for our material use and waste, not less. It’s true the rates materials are used even when they hit a recycle bin aren’t great, but arguably it’s driven by our desire for something as easy as the landfill that gives us a false warm and fuzzy feeling. Accountability isn’t always easy or fun and these flawed systems are driven by our flawed expectations.

Ha. I knew the fediverse was full of you old bastards. … So who’s got a house that’s nearly paid off? I find that very hot.

I’ve just made it to that scene and I feel like I owe you a very hardy fuck you for recommending this gloriously weird book. Guess i’ll update when I’ve finished a chapter or two.

Used bookstores smell better.

Alright, I’m prepared to take some heat for this because in the context of the best organized protests I think my assumptions are incorrect. However most protests don’t rise to that level. Thing is if your protest looks for the most part like a party with some political alignments and isn’t related to some direct action in your community or actual expectations/demands of the relevant political body…

Not to say that “performative” protests are useless. But there seems to be a distressing number of my fellow gen Z that think these sorts of protests alone will work. Like all they need to do is yell loudly into a few news network cameras on capital hill then go home.

I’ll probably see what’s going on in my home state and hope to see some targeted action and real dialogue. I truly hope my assumptions are proven wrong.

I despise the marketing of these eink-like screens. None of the biggest benefits of eink with all of the biggest drawbacks? The fuck?

Oh, look: the NSA dangling a carrot on a line.

All for it though it’s best done when renovations are possible. Was at a place where they did it with multistall bathrooms and you had to guess which one had urinals.

Edit: of course could also just add a sign saying urinals here.

Also remember styrofoam is just extruded polystyrene, which you can find in other common items such as soda cup lids.

Hijacking this to plug contributing to OSM. Improving your local area is very rewarding and can pair well with some youtube binging. Take a look at your city and see if there are things you’re interested in working on.

I recently picked up a pixel 7a on ebay. $200 for like new condition. Probably the current sweet spot for value and remaining years of support.

Unfortunately I think it’s the same situation for their earbuds, which is what I’m wanting.

This is a tough one, but if you look carefully in the bottom right you’ll see a nope rope.

Took a look at the license. It’s a custom one but appears far more permissive than llama. Mostly just safety restrictions and things like no military use.

Imma rewatch all of enterprise just so I can sing along to every single into.

I still wouldn’t go resin. Believe me it isn’t worth it unless 80% of your use case is miniatures.

You should read Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. I think you’ll like it.

5 years? Through a quirk of covid I’m set to have my 15 year old face on my ID till I’m 29.

Matrix? Are we going by volume or need? Cause i’m pretty sure they could use more funding.
