It's a good thing shit like snow crash doesn't exist because if it did we'd be trolling people to tilt their phone to look and making them alt + f4 life.
I might go the forgiveness rather than permission route. And I would be plugging into a power station rather than the wall, completely avoiding the issues this bill is meant to address. With how outdoorsy people around here are and the growing use of power stations, I'd think having a dual purpose camping setup you put on your balcony is a no brainer.
Just glanced over the bill and it only permits what would previously have been prohibited. Unfortunately I'm not surprised. Our legislature is very developer leaning controlled.
I live in Utah. This sounds really exciting on the surface but in practice I've never seen an apartment lease which didn't explicitly prohibit this sort of thing. So this mostly opens doors for homeowners who probably aren't nearly as interested. Still cool, I just wish it meant I could put solar on my balcony.
This is one of those things I haven't considered thoroughly for other regions. Where I live in Utah there are no water towers and water pressure is practically a fact of life.
Easy as hell to be a doomer. That's why I admire scifi authors that dare to guess the form a better world may take. And yes I'd appreciate any "hopeful scifi" media recommendations.
I have a barstool I put on the treadmill for breaks. Just comfy enough for a rest but you'll still find yourself wanting to stand up again after a while. And so far I haven't accidentally turned the treadmill on while sitting.
Taking this opportunity to remind you that revolution can be mundane. Listen into more community councils to build local knowledge. Personally I'm very partial to openstreetmap contribution as a place to channel hate for google and other corporations. Educate yourself so that you'll have the tools to fight tomorrows battles. Self improvement can be a revolutionary act.
Dropped the link for this into grayjay and it worked great. Though as others point out direct launching from links on mobile is a hard fix. I buy into the idea that more creators is the primary issue. I have 320 subscriptions and only one has a peertube instance. Admittedly discovery is a problem too and I can't be certain I'm not missing one without searching.
I disagree that full responsibility needs to go on the manufacturer. An undeniable issue with our current system is that consumers expect to throw all plastic in one bin that isn't the garbage and be done with it. There are lots of different ways to set up responsibility, but on top of production changes plastic "recycling" will need to change significantly from the user perspective. Things like stronger deposit programs would be a bare minimum to start addressing the consumer side (in tandem with measures addressing production of course)
Significant reduction in single use plastics, banning plastic use in certain products (even non-single-use), and a drastic increase in accountability for producers and consumers.
Yeah, billionaires don't want to get rid of IP out of the goodness of their heart.
