Can you link the wallpaper? It's nice!

That looks great! My favorite is cbonsai!

First I only saw the title and was looking forward to the guide, so first I was disappointed, but it was funny in the end. Guess my looking for such a guide illustrates the point well.

Thank you for the explanation. This is what I thought as well, even though the article felt hopeful, oh well... It would be great if one large European city would lead by example, I'm sure it would make passing these kind of laws much easier.

Does someone know how realistic this all is? Will they be able to actually get 170000 votes, or will they peak at a lower number?

Here's hoping that this gets implemented, I'd love to see something similar in my city eventually

Yes, if they bolster long-term use, repairability and upgradability, they should not have subsequent models coming out every two years...

Any alternatives to google docs/sheets? It's really convenient for shared documents, and it's the only thing (other than gmail) keeping me in the Google ecosystem

The ownership part sounds exciting to me as well, this is the first time I've heard about a coop. You also raise a valid point about it being open source. I just don't really see it becoming as popular as bandcamp or Spotify, since for a regular consumer (who doesn't like to hop platforms) I don't think the features could be warranting a switch. I'll definitely will keep an eye on this project though, I hope it takes off!

Interesting concept! Do you think there is a need to replace Bandcamp as well? To me it seems to be a better alternative to spotify, with a focus on the small creators as well

I'll check it tomorrow! I didn't think it would be highly useful, just sounded like a fun project!

 

Hi fellow Lemmings,

Hopefully some of you are knowledgeable about electronics. I know nothing really. But, I just found my old LG POP (GD510), which has a back panel which houses a small solar panel. I thought it could be a fun personal project to try to put that tiny panel to use.

Do you think it is worth tinkering with? I'm guessing it could only put out a negligable amout of energy, but maybe it's usable for something. If it is, could anyone point me to some resources to try and understand how it works before I solder anything?

Also, as a general question: have you ever done a project like this, where you repurposed an old electronic device of yours?

[–] pereputty@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Great, detailed post! I have been quite interested in the duo 100 rabbits and their focus on software that is energy-efficient, tiny, but still highly functional. Their virtual computer is easy to port and thus can be used on older, less powerful devices (even the nintendo ds or gba) as well. This approach, which favors electronics which we already have instead of rushing to the next thing is breath of fresh air to me. I also discovered Low tech magazine, which advocates also for longtermism, and using older, less powerful electronics. Anyone know other sites or people making programs or content focusing on longtermism? I'd greatly appreciate it!

I also started rethinking my approach to gaming. I always kept my bulky "gaming" laptop in order to play more graphically intense games, and even thought of upgrading, since some newer games (like Death Stranding) won't run on my gpu anymore. But from now on, I'll try to play those games which don't want to force me to buy a new pc part or maybe a whole new machine, but rather make their games playable on lower end devices as well.

What do you use it for?
