Have you tried the alternatives lately? Impossible meat is indistinguishable from the real thing, and Quorn combined with some marmite is an excellent affordable alternative.

Plant milks are pretty damn good, vegan cheese is getting close.

The others I'm a little surprised make you happier than alternatives. Plant fibers are the bomb for clothes, gas production is... Not something I associate with happiness.

Plant oils are easily as good as animal fats.

This is such an excellent essay. Highly recommend.

Hm, the Edenicity guy makes the opposite case here that small scale farming is actually quite viable (in the context of the viability of cities being self sufficient by growing their own food in urban areas) due to much increased yields compared to industrial scale farming based on studies referenced by David R. Montgomery, and it seems fairly compelling.

Since it's a native linux game, should work a treat on Steam Deck.

If you come up with flyers or zines to help do this, we’d love it if you shared it in this month’s meta to help others do the same.

I managed to put together a quick and dirty solarpunk flyer for the protest tomorrow! You can check it out here: https://slrpnk.net/post/24783048

This campaign is not asking to take away IP from devs or publishers, they would still retain it.

Legally speaking, a game sold for a single payment and without clear stipulation of an end of service would be considered a Good under EU law. Tjis means you're purchasing a perpetual license to your specific copy of the game, but not to the IP or copyright.

Ross, the creator of the SKG campaign, goes into extreme detail on this very topic of goods vs services, and how the game industry is committing fraud by destroying a customer's ability to access the content their perpetual license allows.

You could try to pick up a used one second hand.

At least in China, the losses have been negated by recent technology that allows higher voltages than previously feasible, bringing the losses down to 2.6% per 500 miles.

I'm not against any existing nuclear power continuing to exist, it would be foolish to shut any down at this point. I'm also not entirely against new construction depending on who's doing it and where (France seems capable of getting them online fairly quickly, while the US seems incredibly bad at keeping on time and on budget).

I just think overall, due to how solar can scale up and down, it's overall the most promising solution, as individuals can collectively take action now, instead of waiting for a nuclear power plant to maybe get built in time to help with the climate.

Heat pumps used for cooling aren't any more efficient than an air conditioner, as they are exactly the same technology. The only difference between an air conditioner and a heat pump, is that the heat pump has a valve that lets it work in either direction (to heat or cool), while an air conditioner lacks that valve, and thus only ever cools on one side, and heats on the other.

A window air conditioner turned around so that the exhaust is facing inside the room acts as a heat pump.

While air conditioners/heat pumps are efficient, they still use a lot of electricity. A heat pump is usually considered efficient in comparison to a resistive heater, which is 100% efficient compared to a heat pump's 300%.

Governments around the world continuing to prove that collective action from the people is the only path forward.

One way to explain this is “double system theory”, namely the idea that a successful transition between two systems (any kind of system, not just social or political systems) happens only if the dismantling of the old happens in sync with the growth of the new and this growth can fulfill the needs of its participants better than the old.

That sounds fairly similar to Dual Power/Counter Power

Sounds good! Let us know how it goes ^^
