I’d agree if there would ba a “could” in there or something. The reality is that a lot of soy (that humans can digest) is fed to animals…

Climate@slrpnk.net•Taylor Swift threatens legal action against student tracking her private jet32·2 years agoHaha, hasn’t she learned about the outcome of the Streisand effect when Elon Musk tried to prevent it
(e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/ElonJetTracker/)
I think all of this should be a motivation to track all kinds of private jets of billionaires, and make it as public/loud as possible…

Green Energy@slrpnk.net•Africa’s annual PV additions hit 3.7 GW in 2023
1·2 years agoI’m not saying it will stay in that way. I’m just disappointed, that this number is not way higher, when comparing to e.g. Germany.
And I would even say it’s the interest of developed countries (as they would have a stake in it, thus profiting from it). I’m not fond of a new form of colonialism (and I would grant them the sole energetic advantage they have of their location), but right now we just need to pivot as fast as possible, colonialism/“globalization” or not…

Green Energy@slrpnk.net•Africa’s annual PV additions hit 3.7 GW in 2023
7·2 years agoWhile this sounds like a solid increase. It’s so much lower than it could be. Germany alone did 14.1GW in 2023 and doesn’t have a very good location compared to most of Africa. (nor does it have that many people).
I hope developed countries are using a lot more of their resources/invest a lot more into solar energy in Africa (e.g. via desertec). It would help both parties, and leads to more stable energy source throughout the year in the northern hemisphere.

Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•Wiki for scientifically backed environment/climate friendly everyday life?
1·3 years agoThanks for all the links, they are close to what I imagine. I need to check them out in detail.
On the topic of high quality information of the commons, I think what we really need is a decentralized federated wiki technology, like lemmy but for wikis. One that uses some combination of consensus based peer review, version control, and author accreditation. As far as I know, nothing like this even remotely exists - yet.
Yeah this would be pretty cool, similar as something like forgefed, There are so many wikis floating around, not being seen by potentially interested people, having something like that could enable easily linking between wikis and their different philosophies, or enable a federalized search for all kinds of topics. Hmm maybe I’ll look into that…

Climate@slrpnk.net•Biden to Target Industrial Pollution in a 2nd Term, if He Gets One3·3 years agoYeah, but what’s the alternative?
It’s a fucked up system we (in the industrial society) have. I would obviously want to have a different candidate that’s less influenced by lobby and rich people. But it’s not what the “system wants to have”…

Including the wrists probably…
