These are cool, but I highly doubt anyone uses theirs regularly. What we need are makerspace-backed hyperlocal recycling projects. A much more expensive but much more effective method to recycle the same PET bottle would involve a plastic shredder and proper filament extruder. And old 3D prints? Sort them by color and material, they can go through the exact same process. Pulltruders can still be a useful tool, but more for education and spreading awareness than a practical source for filament.

Any day now…

Thank you for laying out the argument so well. It massively frustrates me when people point to corporations “carbon footprint” campaigns and argue that all the change needs to come from them. They hold massive blame, but if you let yourself imagine it’s only corporations fault you won’t be prepared to make changes when they’re necessary.

Care to expand on the filetypes? Are they actually trying to exploit vulnerabilities in video players?

The standard user cannot comprehend that Bitwarden is less than $1 a month and totally worth every cent.

The other part is lack of tenant rights. Which Utah will not be a leader on anytime soon. Our leases have half page long restrictions on what can and can’t be on your balcony and the legislature isn’t about to back up renters.

I’m a guy with zero style but I’ve been trying to think on styles that would work for me and look solarpunk without being too much. Visible stitching definitely will be an element.

I think the “smartest” thing the administration is doing is not giving us local targets in our cities. Much as I hate the local police, they aren’t complicit by default until it happens here. Once there are clearer local targets, you’ll see far more action.

Yeah, billionaires don’t want to get rid of IP out of the goodness of their heart.

I might go the forgiveness rather than permission route. And I would be plugging into a power station rather than the wall, completely avoiding the issues this bill is meant to address. With how outdoorsy people around here are and the growing use of power stations, I’d think having a dual purpose camping setup you put on your balcony is a no brainer.

Just glanced over the bill and it only permits what would previously have been prohibited. Unfortunately I’m not surprised. Our legislature is very developer leaning controlled.

I live in Utah. This sounds really exciting on the surface but in practice I’ve never seen an apartment lease which didn’t explicitly prohibit this sort of thing. So this mostly opens doors for homeowners who probably aren’t nearly as interested. Still cool, I just wish it meant I could put solar on my balcony.

This is one of those things I haven’t considered thoroughly for other regions. Where I live in Utah there are no water towers and water pressure is practically a fact of life.

Easy as hell to be a doomer. That’s why I admire scifi authors that dare to guess the form a better world may take. And yes I’d appreciate any “hopeful scifi” media recommendations.
