i don’t actually (at least not in full). the empires of the global north have already shifted their population standards, decreasing birthrates and experiencing longer lives. the issue is that the global north is also the part of the world that’s doing all the polluting and preventing the global south from gaining access to the education and resources that we enjoy. if we decolonize the earth, people will naturally make better decisions about their local environments and be more empowered to make better decisions about how to be and how to live.

additionally the land management techniques employed by the colonial powers are ATROCIOUS. the majority of north american farm lands that can produce food are used to grow feed for cattle. the cattle are then raised not in rangelands that could not otherwise support horticultural agriculture, but instead in small feedlots. you will note, i am not calling for universal veganism. ecoterianism usually shies away from going this far due to the question of rangelands. but do you know what most rangelands in north america are used for today? single family homes and golf courses. these are not sustainable patterns of behavior. if we shifted our diets to more grains, more ruffage, less meat, and abolished the institution of the HOA so more people could grow more of their own food, our current population could be sustained.

additionally, for all the technological advances we have made of late in the energy sector, even finding that land with solar panels on it can produce more agricultural output, much of the world still relies on coal fired electric plants. many of the hydroelectric dams that have been built and have already destroyed indigenous communities sit dormant. why? because global economic policy is largely determined by who owns what minerals beneath the earth. this is being exacerbated by placing data centers for high energy cost AI computations in inappropriate locations, driving people who are already struggling deeper into poverty.

there is so much waste in this economic system that is made simply because it makes the speculation markets grow. we can live without that waste. the reason we don’t is pure, simple, greed. and what it will take to undo is the power of the people gathering together to say “you may own the factories, the machines, and the land, but without our brains and muscles not a single wheel can turn.” We the people are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for and there’s so much room for improvement in this world that ecofascism seeks to ignore by reducing the problem down to just “there’s too many of us, and i can’t fathom adjusting how i live, so that’s it, that’s the end of it”

yup!

this is an ecofascist position. our planet can be balanced if we adjust the way we live, the way we eat, and the way we treat eachother

by the time the cybertruck started delivering, all pretense of who its maker really was was gone. no longer could you think of him as “just the electric car guy who was in the MCU that time and likes posting memes.” It was ABUNDANTLY obvious that he was a fascist boot heel. i can see any tesla on the road but the cybertuck and the model Y and rationalize that someone bought it without knowing, or sold it at a steep loss to someone who just needed a car. but the two newest models in the lineup? those directly funded fascism

they’ve expanded the 100 miles to 250, and include cities with international airports now. we’re at a point now where USBP jurisdiction is wherever a USBP agent happens to be

their primary product is a VPN. for ages they’ve been the best in class for privacy vpn. however, it turns out their CEO is basically singlehandedly bankrolling a far right political party in Sweden so people are looking for alternatives

thanks. i get these things mixed up some

so the other comment reply does nothing to explain, but there’s too much mis- and disinformation that people consume and too much prideful ignorance to just let a comment sit like this as the top of the “hot” algorithm to not give people an entry point to enlighten themselves.

dark matter is not named for its undetectibility within the visible light spectrum. you are correct that we cannot detect much matter within the universe based on the visible light spectrum. dark matter is named based on that we cannot detect it at all. dark matter is more the answer to a question we don’t yet know how to answer. there are a lot of behaviors out there in the cosmos that cannot be explained through the simple interactions between matter that we are able to observe, leading many scientists to theorize that much of the universe, around 70% of it, is made of a form of matter that interacts with the kind of matter we are by just kinda… pushing it away (not like anti matter which causes waveform collapses when interacting with the kind of matter we are).

a competing theory for why the cosmos acts the way it does is because space time itself is expanding as a result of our observable universe existing on the inside of a black hole. my estimation is probably that both explanations contain part of the truth and that the whole truth is that both dark matter exists and our universe is inside a blackhole. if you want a real mind trip, i suspect our universe is inside a blackhole inside our universe, and that every blackhole in the universe contains a universe. filled with blackholes with universes, including the very same universe that contains that blackhole

the people who understand what’s going on have figured out that what the regime means is “brown people are, as a group, the worst of the worst.” the people who don’t understand that are more vulnerable to believe that the face value is the truth

i wonder how many of their customers forgot to unsubscribe

that would be a non-cloudbased non-easy solution. personally, that’s what i’m doing, but i don’t anticipate most computer users wanting to go through the effort when so many people are still running windows 10 rather than switching to linux

which was either 7 or 4 years ago now (can’t remember)

VaultWarden will probably become what people who care about these things turn to for a cloud-based easy sync solution

since no one’s mentioned them:

not exactly. the more nuanced inspection of what he said was that donald trump’s plans to deregulate the tech industry he expected to benefit his company. however, that deregulation is in service of allowing more surveillance capitalism, environmental degredation, and worker mistreatment. the wording i provided is what that ultimately means as an analysis of how and why proton would make more money in that type of environment

the owner is fine with fascism because fascism makes his product more lucrative

get the money while there’s a christofascist government in charge

Mojeek and Qwant both have independent indexes but afaik have no paid teir
