That's a fair point. Obviously we don't really get earthquakes in Denmark.

The article says this uses only 30% of the concrete you'd otherwise use. Presumably prefab would use more.

Seems like your client messed up the original link somehow. It works fine for me.

In Denmark it's usually bricks (very common and traditional) or other stone like materials or concrete. Never understood why there is this difference across the world in how houses are usually built, but wood seems a very... Temporary material for something like a house? I've lived in buildings from the 1910s, I can't imagine anything made of wood lasting that long.

What do you mean switching? Think this is more about using less concrete than stopping to use it entirely. That also helps, but yea it's a problem.

Not sure about speed but I imagine it could be pretty speedy, if for no other reason than the fact that it can run with much fewer workers and probably also running during the night. I mean even if it was half as slow as manual labour, if it ran for 24 hours, it would still be faster overall.

But another point is that it uses much less material, 70% less according to the article. I suppose that helps with costs and CO2 emissions.

Surprisingly political. Not often that happens, not that I mind.

How much did it cost to get all the parts?

Also is there anything I can do about the heat without running the AC? I try to leave the windows open, but they’re all on one side and don’t seem to allow for much airflow that way.

Open only two windows that are as far apart as possible. Get a large fan and point it towards one of the windows (i.e. so it blows air out) at about 2 meters distance. Leave it turned on during the night to create a cold draft that goes through your apartment.

On that I agree. It'd be nice with a more universal platform.

I feel like that's an unnecessarily narrow view of what the fediverse can be. The fediverse is not only for any single particular social networking use case, like micro-blogging (Mastodon) or forums (Lemmy, Pyfed etc). It can be much more than that, and all of it at the same time. There's no reason why the fediverse should restrict itself to only certain social media use cases.

Not sure I understand - you think some of those things don't belong on the fediverse? What do you mean "one or the other"?
