Thanks for the comment! I ended up getting another Echo Mini instead, because of some issues I read about firmware and updates making things worse sometimes. But I'll keep an eye on this one. I think there's even a custom firmware in the works by someone called partlypoetic_ on the 'other' site.

I want to make a board game called "hide the priest". There could be a map of the world, and on each country some tokens representing priests. Tokens with a mark/dot are the priests that need to be relocated due to sexual offences.

🇹🇼 4% (Taiwan)

🇨🇿 3% (Czech Republic)

Some member states of the EU account for a total of nearly 19%

🇪🇺 19%

Food textures are a problem for me. I’d expect a solar punk society to prioritise not being ableist (and minorities should be elevated too).So just as I can go to my local market now and get diced food marinated in a sauce I like, I’d expect that to continue as a service.

The solar punk part might be how it’s done (emissions etc) and who gets paid. But I expect niceties such as our food prefs to still be available.

I was thinking of getting one in the future for similar reasons. My current laptop is an Intel Mac from 2011 running Ubuntu (Windowmaker session). It runs macOS and Ubuntu well enough, but it does run hot and the fans are loud.

My only fear is that unlike previous MacBooks, when macOS expires the device could become e-waste rather than something I can install linux on.

He's absolutely right, and he communicates so very well. I was typing a counterpoint before he got to the end but now that I've listened in full I've changed my mind. I'll just leave it below with a strikethrough.

Still, the massive gatherings are a serious arm shot to anyone who fears that the internet reflects reality. I think those gatherings are important, but the message should be clear: we cannot stop here, and the next step is ...
