@TechConnectify Fuck. Yes. 🤘🏻

@TechConnectify Thank you.

@drsbaitso @TechConnectify We need to reclaim “conservative”, because frugality used to be a byword, and even a synonym.
“Stitch in time saves nine” is a whole ethic and way of life
A “Conserve” movement would target the radical conservatism — radical rebellionists in a conservative constitutionalist trenchcoat
> But I really think the Overestimate Short Term & Underestimate Long Term problem does a lot more heavy lifting in that regard. Humans in survival mode (as so many of us have been for the past 10-40 years) need to focus on the short term, and thinking about the long term is an unaffordable luxury.
Really feeling this. Looking after your sustainability is totally a thing. But having had some major wins, politically, this decade in Australia, it gives light to the maxim “you underestimate what you can do in a decade”.
We replaced a string of the safest conservative House of Reps politicians with pro-environment pro-integrity conservatives, really rattling the establishment and rejecting post-truth, putting civility back on the floor of the house. It’s the sort of thing 12-year-olds on a school tour can actually watch without cringing (and dying) inside.

@TechConnectify The first 3/4 or whatever was mostly stuff I kind of knew - not the specific figures and examples you give - exactly how much more energy would be available just from converting fields growing corn for ethanol fuel into solar fields, for example.
And then the second part. Fantastic. Blistering. Thank you and from Canada I wish you and all Americans of good conscience success and safety.

@TechConnectify I watched about half of this while eating lunch. I gotta say, not only is this one of your best videos ever, this is the clearest explanation of the renewables value proposition I have ever heard.
@chrismerkel @TechConnectify Worth finding time to watch the second half.

@TechConnectify Thank you.

@TechConnectify Thank you!

@TechConnectify wow, this is amazing. I did not realize I had fallen for some propaganda here. Even with that, I built out an off grid setup for my new home. With this info I'm really looking forward to no energy bills for the next 30+ years.

@TechConnectify@mas.to this is what made me finally subscribe

@TechConnectify this is so good, so well argued, so laser-targeted both rhetorically and culturally at the victims of the fascist disinformation machine that the petrochemical industry has constructed, that about halfway through I stopped feeling like "yeah! right on!" and started feeling more like "Gosh I hope Exxon doesn't try to assassinate him."
This is *amazing* work, stay safe out there.
@glyph @TechConnectify did you know HOMES have ELECTRICITY?!

@jay @TechConnectify now that you mention it this does seem like _extremely_ your jam :)
-
@TechConnectify Well said. Thank you.
-
@TechConnectify that was fucking great. I wish half of the influencers had the conviction you do to put their neck out. I still think a distressingly large amount of democrats are really just smiling fascist and that's why they continue to vote for and fund trump's stuff, but you may be right on voting lesser evil just one more time.
Keep being dangerous and loud.

@glyph @TechConnectify My wife gets a very weary look in her eyes when I start talking dishwasher, that's for sure

@TechConnectify I was skipping over this one in my YT feed (I prefer <15min videos) but the comments in this thread have convinced me to watch it next chance I get.
-
@TechConnectify @TechConnectify I've been dealing with finding out people I follow and subscribe to turned out to be terrible quite a bit the past few years. Your rant was welcomed reassurance you're ok to associate with.
Fuck ICE!

@TechConnectify I said it on the YewTewbs, but I'll say it again here: I wish I had more thumbs so I could give you more thumbs-ups.
It was quite delicious (as I said here) to see you take the gloves off and "explain it like I'm five" to anyone out there who might possibly maybe (hopefully?) be willing and able to listen.

Out of the sauna, into some fresh air :)

@mirabilos @82mhz the post is against it - that's why I boosted it.
"But if I avoid doing everything that's hard and outsource all the thinking to AI, then I will pretty soon turn into a lazy and stupid blob who isn't capable of thinking for himself anymore, and that's a fate I want to avoid at all cost."

@82mhz and that's just a slice of technical issues; there are far more 🥲

@82mhz @cinimodev
I'm still processing my thoughts on Dom's post. It hit me real hard, because it touched on points I observed and figured out too around Christmas, when we did that AI Hackathon at work.
But Dom's post, and yours too, go beyond that. I didn't get to the point where I felt guilty or maybe hollow, because I hadn't done any work. Maybe that's because I did it for the experiment, or maybe it's because I always knew that I'd out it down after two weeks. But I can imagine how that feels. I felt like an imposter for the first few years when I started working and it was rough. I only managed to break out, when "that one" coworker started asking me questions about the code and asking for my opinion. (I guess today I have become "the one" at work.) 😅
