I’m not debating the finer points of morality; just the reality of the situation.

I loves me some udon noodles. Drain the water and add hot sauce. Mmmmmmm…
Like that’s ever stopped us from doing things for profit?
Honestly, that’s what’s holding us back. Make climate repair profitable, and the climate will be fixed inside of a decade.
I mean, that would be a lot of iron…
Believe it or not, it’s a laudable goal. Cow feces is responsible for about 40% (yes, really) of methane production worldwide, and methane is several times more impactful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. I called bullshit (heh) the first time I heard these stats, too, but they’re real.
Most of the legitimate “block sunlight” proposals involve cloud seeding or spreading long-lasting particulates high in the upper atmosphere. The goal of these projects is to reflect 1-2% of sunlight, which would significantly cool the climate, but plants would hardly notice. In fact, organisms like reef systems would greatly appreciate it, as they’re dying off at an extraordinary rate.
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles…
Yeah, looks like a nighttime image of the island with some smoke added to it.
Considering how easy it is to set up a screen reader or to set an overriding font on most browsers, this seems like an exercise in futility. That said, something like mssystem ought to do it – standardized, block-style typeface, with little to differentiate the individual letters.
Isn’t that the old Xerox logo?
I’m physically incapable of laughing hard enough at this.
Better yet, use a hidden partition.
That’d be my suggestion. I can’t imagine that the average airport security goon is going to check the reported size of the drive against the hardware specs as part of a normal inspection.
Always play stupid in these instances: I forgot the password; I got it second-hand and didn’t know about that; Encrypt-a-what, now?
Well, it depends on your instance. Some of them aren’t popular, and some of them don’t allow downvotes at all. But, over here, it’s apparently hip to just click into a profile and downvote everything they’ve posted because they said something you disagree with. I won’t name names, because that’d be just as bad, but you can look through my profile if you’re really interested.
Typically, yes, but the brigaders have found their way here, so don’t expect it to last long.
I can’t imagine why. As much as I love the fediverse and what it stands for, it’s barely a blip on anyone’s radar at this point.
At some point, maybe. Back when I was running my own Mastodon instance, things were pretty much in this same state, but lots of other things have improved.
I mean, in Russia, anything is possible, but in any country that respects the rule of law, you’re a citizen if you pay taxes.
Ah, the old “contrails/chemtrails didn’t exist when I was young” argument. Yes, they did; you didn’t look up when you were a kid.
I’m not playing defense for anyone. I’m recognizing that deconstructing the corporate money-making machine will take longer than we have to fix the more immediate problem of killing off our biosphere, so working with the system, broken as it is, may be the only way forward.
