It’s sad that most people are commenting without even reading the article nor watching the mockumentary. We can be better than this :)

I watched it and it has some nice jokes and sketches in it. There is no blame, just plain explaining some psychological mechanism and also even mocking the corporate greenwashing.

It does not address capitalism, yes. It pushes Patagonia, yes. Still, it’s a good little video, I would send it to people around me if it was in my language.

Tor is being rewritten in Rust :3

I won’t read their paper because every kind of DAO is the same in the end so I can generalize it.

They probably use a DAO form to raise money from people giving them back a token that allows them a form of digital ownership. Basically is what an association or a cooperative can do but if they do not actually build that coop or org it just stays a useless token in front of the law. Are they conscious of it? Who knows. Is it good? Ehhh, only if the people behind it are actually iron willed and will keep the mission in front of earnings because, as I said, legally the ownership is on them and not on all the token owners.

I’d avoid it. There are a lot of ways to pay associations to plant trees or ensure wildlife while also not feeding a bullshit machine :)

I’m a game dev and I think this case is more ambiguous

if you want job security, unionize your workplace

it's not that weird from my perspective. the post was kinda a rant so it baited people that are not really ready to discuss but just felt like having to point out their perspective in a defensive way

break the chain my friends, we can do better

just answer ''thank you for the disgust sentiment, really needed that from a friend, cya''

if they say ''no'' but they lying, just treat it as a real no because people not able to be open about this are not ready for a healthy relationship

I mean... I don't want to sound a smartass but it's the whole point of organizing. If one person alone can sabotage your actions are we sure that they are the issue? Just plan strategically aware of your powers for some achievable targets and so you can keep people who don't want that same target or ruin the plan away. The naiveté is thinking we can avoid using their tools against them or trying to do politics without getting our hands dirty with some incoherence or ''impurity''

in this answer there also could be a space for ''machiavellan'' leftists that find more barriers instead of allies because they are not pure to others but it would be a bit of shouting against the wind lol

it's sad having to think about politics like a strategy game? yes

do we have an alternative to have the future we want? not really

One thing that is not talked enough, and in fact it's not discussed in this blog post also, it's the need of staying away from parents for some time or more. Villages are just doomed to be abandoned by anyone who wants to explore any facets of society that need high density of population to be developed...

At this point is probably easier to just reclaim cities imo, aiming for the smaller ones

i don't know if it exists but it's really easy to know about them before they happen: follow the politically active collectives, associations or unions of your city and you will find out. rss, activitypub (fediverse) and telegram are suited for the job because timeline won't make important posts disappear in favor of ads or posts with more engagement.

Nothing new under the sun. Free market nor consumers as a category will regulate themselves. The unsustainable merch just has to stop existing or at least the sustainable one should be subsidized.

tbh i don't worry too much about datacenters because they can be built under the land, under ice, alone in the desert full of solar panels and so on. the heat in the winter can also be used to heat houses if it's in the city..

the sad part is that most of that energy is used for bullshit tasks for surveillance capitalism.

Out of touch also in feeling like it’s funny to post this shit

Even if it was true, would still be a cringe meme.

I hope that OP is just young and naive and not an old who thinks the world is divided like that
