20 天前Technology plays a role, but the big part of current wealth is the hundreds of “oil slaves” we each have in the West. On the downslope of the carbon pulse this is going to be extremely unpleasant to have to get used to having less of.

3·3 个月前Excellent reference.
And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They’re quite aware of what they’re going through
148·4 个月前Oh, it’s dangerous and harmful all right : to their business model.
I think the big G is probably starting to get pretty nervous about self hosting. It absolutely is a threat to their existence. They are nothing without users.
There’s a lot of us fed up with enshittification and every video that helps people break free of their capture is extremely dangerous to them. Seriously.
5·4 个月前Wow. I thought it was bad but it is actually worse than I thought.
Madness.
Very detailed and excellent read.
It’s so fucking depressing.
This is great. Kei cars are so fantastic, I love my Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV and all cars with this kind of shape and style are just so damn practical. Would love to see exports targeted to other countries too not just Japan, but that still seems so far off. Sigh.
So, I didn’t watch all of it because an ad about AI came on that wasn’t skippable and was lasting more than 5 seconds. It was intolerable. Seriously, people publishing on YouTube about this kind of thing NEED publish at least one other place & to add links to alternative video hosts.
Dude, this is an EV community. We ALL know what ICE stands for in this context. If you see ICE and EV in the same sentence or headline, it is VERY clear what the acronym is. Maybe if it was a tabloid newspaper where few people know much about EVs your complaint might make sense.
Dude, you’re on c/collapse, what about it do you think is terrible?
5·5 个月前I’m hoping to start a Friendica instance, it’s been around for a long time and actually has events, which is something NO other social network has managed to add and one of the main reasons people I know who don’t like Facebook will feel compelled to use it, there’s no other easy way to create and invite people to events.
I also tried to get people to try G+, before that Diaspora, and neither got many people interested: but I think Fedi has now proved its not going away. There needs to be sustained local push to relocalise communities, this is happening in a few places, and enough nontechy people are starting to really understand the danger of FB and the silo mentality.
1·5 个月前It was a facetious question. Clearly you wouldn’t with such misguided preconceptions.
I’m with Amber, and while I don’t have a battery yet, their VPP offering does appear different to most. I’d be wanting to check the conditions if this goes ahead as I would not want to sign up if I wasn’t allowed to control when power is sent to to the grid.
Correct, new EVs have even better batteries than first gen too. My first EV I replaced the battery, but not because they’re was anything wrong with it: that battery likely would have lasted at least twice as long, but an enterprising engineer created a battery upgrade that doubled the original range in the same footprint, and we can expect further improvements in batteries, so I expect to upgrade again in future, maybe 10-15 years, and double the range again.
Old EV batteries can be reused and make ideal off grid house batteries.
Have you actually bought a second hand EV?

Vote with your AUD as much as possible as a consumer. Even a 10% change in behaviour will shake the fuckers up.
Agree. The other part I didn’t mention in the previous comment, is that on average, “people” aren’t really much better off because we tend to ignore the extraction of wealth from the Global South: and those people certainly aren’t better off on average, the bottom 50% of which have the same carbon budget as the top 1% of global population.
