While watching the video I couldn't stop thinking about the fediverse. It's basically self-organized social-media. While it is far from perfect it is so much better than the corporate alternative in terms of relevant content. I'm just sad that basically nobody I know personally actually uses the fediverse...

Our world is built up of roads and cars to get us to our destination! But what about cycling and even walking? Have we been brainwashed to think that the car is always king?
Si goes on a deep dive into just how we are convinced to think that modern car culture is acceptable in our lives!

I think this is why I like solarpunk. It enables us to imagine a better world, focused on us instead of the economy or whatever society thinks the most important construct is.

Note: I might just be uneducated on the subject.

When I read about web3 with blockchains, smart contracts and dapps, all sounds very promising. But once you look for any real world applications it is just some obscure things that kind of only exist to support the decentralized system. I guess that makes sense, but are there any actual real world uses for that? Like day-to-day things that make a persons life easier, not harder?

My current water kettle leaks more by the day. It is mostly stainless steel, but the few plastic parts are corroded and lead to leaking.

Do you have recommendations for fully stainless steel or similar kettles that are basically not able to break?

I was looking at this: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/xiaomi-wasserkocher-170-l-wasserkocher-23599517

But I don't really trust xiaomi to make quality consumer products

I had the Miyoo Mini V2 for some time now and was pretty happy with the little thing. I now also got the Plus, since the V2 felt a bit too small and multiplayer options seem really fun via netplay.

When I play on the Plus, especially in GBA games, the FPS is considerably lower than on the V2. E.g. in Pokemon Emerald, I get 300+ on the V2, but only 100-150 on the Plus when fat-forwarding. I set the fast-forward speed to “Unlimited” in OnionOS settings for both. On the Plus, it also feels a lot choppier.

Does anyone have similar experiences?

Feels relevant and revealed some surprising things for me!
