Minimalism is the other one I'm looking at, for past decade or so. Not as far along as I'd like yet in terms of stuff, but consumption is way down. Clothes, equipment, etc. Making things work for longer, DIY repairs, primarily buy

I don't know if this is one we can buy our way out of. Not buying, seafood in particular, seems to be the most obvious solution at this stage. At least until more sustainable practices are more widespread and stocks have restored. Plan

Second time I've seen it. I'm assuming because it's now in the spoken vocabulary of so many it gets written as it sounds quite often.

Watched Seaspiracy and questioned my "plenty more fish in the sea" assumptions. Corollary is much of the plankton and motion of creatures in the oceans helps to absorb CO2 an order of magnitude more than rainforests. Which of cour

Or I can use newsboat... If you really want minimal, integrated into the terminal etc. that's the way to go. I've had a bunch of self hosted stuff setup in the past and it's just too much maintenance to keep adding services.

Appreciate that. Think you missed the main part about the overhead though.

Ah yeah, I tried Miniflux among the handful suggested back when Reader was shut down. Very slick client, I just lost the appetite for setting up local web apps with their own databases. Stuck with newsbeuter for a while, now newsboat. I set

Pretty much. My main preference for Signal is that it's a charitable organisation. That and a few other bits. Phone number IDs are on the way out hopefully. The dream would be some kind of federated layer, but the charitable org thing

Ha, I hear you. Also a fan of Matrix, but it's so not mainstream usable yet. Tried to get non tech friends on there yet?

Not forgetting the sugar trade supporting the wave of coffee consumption, all based on the major trade not yet mentioned yet in the thread; humans. Britain somehow managed to offshore the distasteful parts of that trade. The monetisation yo

Recent BBC doc on slavery mentioned the place as the hub for doing deals on humans. So there's that to consider too as you drink in the history.

I had a similar thought, if not so colourful. Patting themselves on the back for supporting these companies (aside from Twilio) seems short-sighted to me. More gatekeepers, more bloat, more greed. Just what the internet needs. > In ret

A little uncharitable to say the entire intention is pirating, especially given the global pandemic, quarantining and social issues this can help with. But yes, showing legal or illegal copies of movies you own or don't own is possible

Did you try purging the dkms version and building the one in the post? I also spent an inordinate amount of time messing with it, but in the end the actual steps that worked were simple. I couldn't get it to work with my flatpak versio
