I personally think it will take a complete shift in human mentality. One that will only come about via artistic movements, whether that be music, painting, film, or even propaganda posters.

IMO, art is the most important factor for bring about such a massive cultural shift. Kind of like how art in the Renaissance caused people to view life more scientifically and logically instead of based purely of faith.

Similarly, art from the the hippie movement in the 70s promoted peace and love instead of competitiveness, war and destruction.

I thought we were calling AAA games 'Corporate Games' now. Is that trend over already?

For now... Do you really think they're immune to enshitification if they become more popular?

Same. I consider them a marvel of engineering and an extremely useful tool. But, like any tool, they can be used incorrectly and cause damage.

Let people upgrade in stages. I had a zombie computer for years that started it ass a mini atx pc. Most parts won't fit in a mini atx tower, so you sorta need a bigger case before you upgrade anything else.

There are some great ideas in there, but I don't quite think that what you are describing is solarpunk. More like a eco-socialist The list needs more solar and more punk:

More solar ideas:

  • Build your own house battery system
  • Install solar panels, geothermal heating/cooling
  • capture rainwater for plants/animals
  • Plant trees. Lots of trees.
  • Use small computers to automate plant watering/hydroponics systems *Indoor vertical farming
  • run for local government to spread solarpunk ideas and help take action
  • Learn to sew, make clothes from repurposed textiles/mend clothes instead of buying new ones
  • start a blog/website spreading solarpunk ideas
  • create music/art with solarpunk ideas

More punk ideas:

  • Seed bombing
  • Destroying/vandalizing infrastructure used for fossil fuels
  • Destroy/vandalize heavy machinery used for biodiversity destruction (road construction, mining, single-family housing developments)
  • join/create an intentional community or eco village
  • blockade roads, drastically slowing economic activity
  • Blockade private/executive airports
  • Pirate software, research papers, textbooks, and help keep information open source
  • create music/art spreading solarpunk ideas

I remember reading that, although we are discovering new organisms that break down plastic, the organism still emits greenhouse gases through metabolic waste. And the output of that emission is similar to the emissions of just burning the plastic.

It spreads the emissions out over a longer time period, which I guess has it's benefits. Does anyone know if this research has progressed at all? I haven't had time to follow closely enough.
