Not sure what this has to do with climate change aside from potentially make it worse ? Seems it would increase emsisions and GDP as "the poor" will spend it.

We need to all emit like the poor do now. I'd suggest instead they spend it on good quality free PT and AT (cycling infrastructure etc) so the poor don't need a car for example, immensely improving their lives and lowering emissions, pollution and heath care costs..

With less roads and parking they can infill with smaller, well insulated cheaper medium density housing, and trees and bushes, making many homes cheaper to live in as they don't need as much energy, this immensely improves the lives of the poor and reduces emsisions.

Giving "poor people" more money within the orthodox neo-liberal shit show will make anything climate or enviormentally adjacent worse. Taking it alll off the rich will help in spades but this is tokenism that won't help with emissions or biodiversity loss or plastic use etc.

That asdie, The Australian Green party went into the last federal election with a policy to tax the very wealthy much more but voters soundly rejected such policies, 75% voted againt it. I voted in the minority for it.

By make it harder do they mean put a gun to ASMLs head to not sell them the hadware needed to make them ? ASML is a Dutch company, spun out of Phillips from memory.

There is a thing where some Americans when exposed to other ways of doing things in the world insisit everyone's a commie. It's interesting to me that McCarthyism persists and that commie is used as some sort of pejorative but can't compete with the wide world on some things and resort to big daddy government protectionism eg TikTok, steel imports, ecars etc

Thank you for your work.

There seems to be more competition, not much for Masto, lots for Lemmy, or so it seems.

I was interested in Firefish but it seems to have fizzled out. Gotosocial looks to have promise.

How mich energy does that take (not the tranport, the liquefying). That HAS to be super inefficient?

I know they use it in th O&G industry to extract more O but this is just taking the piss.

Did we ? Some species managed millions of years, we're at what 100k-150k or so, seems a very shitty run really.

Jokes aside, I suppose we're not witnessing the end of humanity, just the end of this civilisarion. Pity we're taking so many other species down and leaving the place in a fucking mess.

Why is Session always mentioned ? It's an Australian company, in a land with zero constitutional oversight I'd be more inclined to think its a honeypot then a privavy focused chat app. Anom springs to mind as an example.

After dithering with dual boot for years I jumped ship to Linux only (LMDE) with their incessant reminders about moving to W11 from W10 popped up. Missing a few apps but fuk' em.
