A base to convert my plain Pax charger into a charging dock. I might include pockets for Budkups too

SandbagTiara2816,

Glenn Greenwald isn’t worth listening to any more

SandbagTiara2816,

I agree! I just don’t particularly find Greenwald to be someone whose reporting I find reliable any longer.

As for who I listen to, I do make an effort to read widely. I like GroundNews, which deliberately shows you how often an article is being shared on right and left leaning sites, so it’s a nice way of seeing which stories might not be showing up in your usual bubble.

I do follow more mainstream sources too, like the Washington Post and Politico - I particularly like E&E News for climate, environment, and energy news. Vox and Grist are definitely a bit more left leaning, but I think they both have pretty good environmental news too.

SandbagTiara2816,

Of course! I also like PV Magazine and CleanTechnica

What about you? What outlets and sources do you like?

SandbagTiara2816,

The Kyoto Protocol would have been ratified. Could you imagine if we had an international agreement with legally-binding emissions reductions in place in 2000? The Paris Agreement is the best we have, and it’s simply not as strong as Kyoto would have been

SandbagTiara2816,

To be fair, there is open source hardware- Arduino and whatnot. But a microcontroller is a lot simpler than a full computer.

SandbagTiara2816,

Most likely. It happens all the time - wingnuts propose legislation that they know will never make it out of committee to try to make a point, or to have in their back pocket for the next election. “See! I tried to do this, but the evil other side stopped me!”

On the other hand, it is Indiana, so you never really know. Ass backwards “middle finger of the South” state

SandbagTiara2816,

Unironically yes.

Make all drugs legal, so they can be regulated for purity/safety, and treat addiction like a disease, rather than a personal failing

SandbagTiara2816,

Greenwald used to be a respected journalist. Now he’s a right wing hack

SandbagTiara2816,

Maybe the decision to have children is highly personal and should be left up to individual people to decide, either way?

SandbagTiara2816,

I started around 2018, using crouton to run Ubuntu on a Chromebook so I could have better functionality. I went back to Windows for a while, then I started using Pop!OS as my daily driver last year. I still don’t know if I love it, but I’m sticking with Linux of some flavor going forward.

Modules for extracting data from PDF?

I’m not a software developer, but I like to use Python to help speed up some of my office work. One of my regular tasks is to print a stack of ~40 sheets of paper, highlight key information for each entry (about 3 entries per page), and fill out a spreadsheet with that information that then gets loaded into our software....

SandbagTiara2816,

My understanding is that degrowth is a movement not necessarily away from growth altogether, but tailoring growth or contraction to meet the needs of human and planetary well-being. For example, the things you mention, especially in the Global South, can raise standards of living. But it’s plain to me that in the Global North, we are already over-developed and extracting resources to create profit rather than to improve lives. I think we could contract the economy while making lives better, if only we could align our economic policies with the world’s real needs. I’d recommend checking out Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics, I find it to be a useful framework.

SandbagTiara2816,

I mean, I suppose that’s fair. I guess paying for email with Monero feels a bit like overkill to me, but it depends on your threat model
