one man's utopia is another's dystopia
This is true, but there are universal goods that anyone who isn't antisocial can agree on like a livable climate, everyone having food, shelter, and safety. At least I choose to believe that. I get the point about parents and long-term thinking. That's a whole thing, they are making it so hard to just live that you're so busy and tired just doing the daily struggle lots of people don't have time to think or plan or organize.
If you want to improve things you can’t wait around for a good moment or depend on the involvement of the depoliticized and hopeless to join in. You can just do things. There are other people doing things, too and you can find them. The change you make can inspire some others too, but the disaffected will always be frustrating to see and deal with. There will always be more to do but the thing is to keep trying to move toward the ideal even if it’s just by inches and there’s miles to go, it’s the long haul
having a friend host my nextcloud instance (badly) since i moved and can now only get starlink, which is not amenable to hosting things accessible outside the home network. lots of things to take care of before building a tunnel out to that so i can self-host things again. using nabu casa for the home assistant stuff in the interim
Paulo Baciagalupi is also worth looking into, his book The Water Knife is not explicitly solarpunk either but does deal with resource scarcity and the maladaptations a capitalst world will make to it. He has an excellent short story in the book Rewired: The Post-Cyberpunk Anthology called The Calorie Man which is in the same vein. That is an amazing book on it's own, there are a number of excellent stories included.
Unfortunately I don't know if I've come across any books with the inherent hopefulness of solarpunk, but I would love to read them.
Robin Wall Kimmerer is native american. She was added shortly after you posted this though. I'd recommend Nnedi Okorafor but she is Afrofuturist/SF and not solarpunk per-se . There are parts of her stories that hold with the solarpunk ethos.
(not) Soon enough he will be dead and then we will see. I do hope you're wrong, and the US will have the chance do better soon. There's a handful of geriatrics with no future burning things down to finance their comfortable senescence. They're not immune to the fun new diseases and unrest spawned by their greed, no matter how much they like to think they are.
haven't had stability issues on fedora tbh but thanks for the reply and link, it was informative. seems bsd has some smart changes in a few things, worth a look next time i'm frustrated by one of fedora's outdated documentations
They keep listening to McKinsey for some fucking reason
PG&E really is the worst
It's wearing tactical drag

October is a good month for "regime change"
