Technological advances are nice, but you can’t just assume they will happen. There’s no law or axiom that says we will discover something new, and certainly not on any time scale that we could plan against to avoid problems we predict today

They are just being realistic, their example isn’t extreme (though yours is). It is entirely possible with our current level of technology to adjust to the realities of the physical limitations in the world as we know it, without needing to

You’re entirely missing the context of what you call “alarmist talk”. The issue isn’t that the water will cease to exist, or that the planet will literally be destroyed. It is that our way of life is unsustainable and actively degrades the

I found your comment thoughtful, but it seems to me you meant “latter” rather than “former”? iirc hacker news let’s you edit a comment for up to an hour after posting.

To expand a little on what grzm said: If you click on the "X time-unit(s) ago" part of the comment heading in a new window/tab, it will open that comment as its own item where you can then favorite it. It's a little hidd

Consider looking into iSH, it let's you access a Linux like environment where you can download and use common packages like vim and python in a terminal. It has to emulate x86 calls, but for my use case of writing notes in vim and comp
