I think this post would be better suited for !climate@slrpnk.net than here, as it doesn't really have any direct relation to solarpunk.

Original theatrical trailer.
One of the greats by Redford and Newman. A superb film in every way, and absolutely worth a watch.
The most powerful act Bernie and the rest of the democrat politicians could do is loudly claim they are Antifa, to dare them to arrest them or do anything about it.
Highly recommend checking out videos from:
They're the only leftist guntubers out there, with high quality and informative content.
Wadjeteye games (who published primordia) mostly publish serious non-comedic point'n'clicks. I highly recommend Gemini Rue by them.
Their thesis is that increasing amounts and intensity of hurricanes compared to past decades due to climate change has overstepped the affected state's ability to recover before the next one hits, limiting services and life-saving infrastructure.
Quite right.
I would highly recommend The Chrysalids by John Wyndham. There's an excellent audio book version available for free on Archive.org.
It's very well written classic sci-fi.
Some others that I thoroughly enjoyed:
- Starwolf - Edmond Hamilton
- The Stainless Steel Rat - Harry Harrison
- The Jameson Satellite - Neil R. Jones
- Gunner Cade - Cyril Kornbluth & Judith Merrill
- The Shockwave Rider - John Brunner
- Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
- Phaid the Gambler - Mick Ferran
- The Dispossessed - Ursula Le'Guin
I would suggest that it is as complex as you wish to know.
My explanation above is not truly required to effectively use a federated platform, in the same way that most email users don't actually know how precisely email works, and would find an in-depth explanation of it very complex.
All someone needs to know about email is that they must login to their email host provider, and that every user they might send email to has a unique name, and possibly a different host name after the @ symbol.
In the same way, the only thing someone needs to know about this platform, is they must login to the same place they signed up to (their host provider). They can then use it in a similar way to reddit. They might wonder why usernames or communities have different names after the @, but it doesn't actually impede using the platform to not understand.
If anything, that might make it easier to use than email.
The workers were not paid what they generated in value, they were paid just enough to make them do the work reliably without leaving. The excess value they made went into growing the business and employing yet more workers, which increased the value of the business tremendously. At the end, all of that extra value went to Ben & Jerry at the sale, not the workers who made that transfer of wealth possible.
Ben & Jerry did not personally contribute 325 million dollars worth of labor into the company, they decided to take that excess value for themselves.
If hypothetically Ben & Jerry's had been a worker owned coop from the start, if they had decided to sell it in 2000 for 325 million, that money would've been split amongst all of the workers fairly evenly, and all of them would've been made very wealthy from their collective labor, instead of only two people.
The workers are responsible for all of the wealth of the company. It's only fair they become the owners. Without them, Ben & Jerry wouldn't have been able to expand beyond their single ice cream parlor in 1978.

A Meshtastic node has been one of the toys of the moment over the last year, and since they are popular with radio amateurs there’s a chance you’ll already live within range of at least one. They can typically run from a lithium-ion or li-po battery, so it’s probable that like us you’ve toyed with the idea of running one from a solar panel. It’s something we have in common with [saveitforparts], whose experiments with a range of different solar panels form the subject of a recent video.
He has three different models: one based around a commercial solar charger, another using an off-the-shelf panel, and a final one using the panel from a solar garden light. As expected the garden light panel can’t keep an ESP32 with a radio going all day, but the other two manage even in the relatively northern climes of Alaska.
As a final stunt he puts one of the nodes out on a rocky piece of the southern Alaskan coastline, for any passing hacker to find. It’s fairly obviously in a remote place, but it seems passing cruise ships will be within its range. We just know someone will take up his challenge and find it.
