Make one, share it here. Would love to use it

Very cool! I think I might do something similar but might first try with regular pots. Not sure I want to jump into hydroponics right now.

Lazygit, beautiful, terminal based, runs everywhere

You are right, but to be fair most things that are petroleum based are made with it because of economic reasons. Many things don't need to be it's just cheaper that they are. That's because of a combination of factors. If tomorrow every oil field in the world disappeared we would see alternatives for almost everything almost instantly because there would be huge financial incentive for it and many of those things already exist, they just have to compete with a very established and subsidized raw material

Debian is the GOAT

Love the community idea. I'm trying to get involved in a local charter of XR. I'm subscribing the community!

What's wrong with smaller cities, with more evenly distributed population across countries, with density lowering as you move from the center? Reduces city impact, still promotes dense urbanization and reduces transportation costs if there is something being produces around the city. Also left to nature is a bit impossible in today's world and promotes detachment from feeling like part of nature for most people. Most of Europe and north America is riddled with invasive species or just have been devastated by agriculture or deforestation in the last centuries and if managed correctly which can mean leave it alone humans can have a positive impact on the world. If you could create forests in the desert with plants from around it, wouldn't that be positive?

How do those people feed themselves? How do they move around? How far away is the average person's house from the workplace, or the market, or the hospital? In the end is the average energy consumption per person smaller? The existence of mega cities requires a lot of land elsewhere to sustain those people with the added transportation costs. There is not much to gain from gathering too many humans in one place for the sake of it.

That would be better true but I argue that even if you compare companies to cities the same problem occurs with cities, mega or very big cities are not sustainable or easier to manage, they just occur naturally.

I don't think even if a company is worker owned or democratically controlled may still choose to go against the customer or competition with monopolistic practices so I'm not sure it's possible to have mega corps be very positive in any way to society.

You are right it's kind of exactly what I was looking for, I will look further into that, thank you! As for XR I'll push forward trying to build connections and meeting like minded individuals who might even be interested in adjacent stuff like what you mentioned.

I'm just afraid that it's all destruction and PR stunts. I believe in demonstrations, up to a certain point. I just feel like they accomplish too little when they are generic. I read somewhere that XR UK was very poorly seen by general population which is a shame because a few years ago they weren't (at least so much).

I'm afraid that the regular person is going over the hill of being concerned with the planet and just gets annoyed by road blocks and demonstrations fronted by young people to pretend throw paint at art and just give up. Because those people that are affected feel like there is little they can do about the big parts of it. I know the argument of union strikes civil rights protests but I feel like the public opinion is not going in the right direction.

In the end I feel that if there is going to be any hope of moving the needle of the big issues regular people need feel included and like it's their cause too.

Thank you, you made some pretty goods point which I'll consider. Specially the building connections part!

I'm actually in the the part of XR in my region most likely to do stuff like that but since XR in my country has very few people doesn't look like I'm going to divert many to do different things but I see what you mean. I'm having an in person event soon so I may try to network in that direction.
