Sadly, big companies truly do not care. I was part of a net-zero project at my company (major polluter/CO2 emitter) and it is getting cut right now. I joined in hopes of helping fix it, but I simply can't fight endless bureaucracy and rich people.

I can only speak for my project, but it's not even just the CEO/board in my case. Mid-levels burned so much money that the project became completely infeasible (ie. negative return and scaling would make it worse).

How do you pay for groceries with Monero?

It's almost like people could just drink from cups...

Please don't hurt me. I know it's radical.

Utter bullshit. I only use these services for academic publications/books (fiction I just get from the library).

Academic articles are paid for with tax money. Fuck private control over tax funded research.

I like the idea. I'm not sure of the risk, because if you lose, then I think you have to pay the other parties legal fees.

If you started a Kickstarter and got good lawyers on board, I'd be willing to contribute. I would need to see the lawyers are well qualified though and preferably only paid if they win.

Anti trust is probably the wrong word. This indicates actions to breakup monopolies.

You'd want an attorney practicing in consumer privacy or data privacy. I believe they already exist.

My experience is that the government typically handles these cases, but I'm very likely wrong.

This I can get behind. It seems fallacious to believe that my choices don't contribute to global warming, but equally wrong to believe that companies haven't forced my hand.

This reminded me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy, which I hadn't considered before. This is an example when a major company absolutely forced me to make bad environmental decisions. Public transport was literally destroyed, forcing more cars on the road.

A while ago, I did a rough calculation that we could create floating islands from tying plastic bottles together. My calculation accounted for enough dirt for trees (several meters of dirt) and enough land to grow vegetables and such.

Accounting for food and housing needs, it was like 10k people from Europe's plastic bottle waste for a year.

Personally, I think something like Netherlands dikes would work in many places.

Not sure how to deal with the heat though. Unfortunately heat is thermodynamically useless without a sink. Space is a bad sink. Deep ocean maybe.

Personally, I think we should plan for hot world and try to reduce emissions. I have very little faith in decarbonization efforts.

I have connections to inner energy company circles that work in renewables. When they get drunk, they openly admit to green washing. Unless governments seriously address this with sanctions and legal actions, it will never happen.

It's like clogging your toilet. Unclogging it sucks, but it's your fault. I don't see this being fixed without serious uncomfortable painful corrective action. Governments don't seem interested in that.

Or she/he's young and made a dumb decision.

Your post on the other hand shows that you are rash, judgemental and quickly offended. You are too emotional to rationally understand humans and their ability to make mistakes.

That's meant as satire, but probably not a good idea to insult strangers we don't know.

It doesn't apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 (c). For shits and giggles would fall under that.

As long as the abuse unethical companies, I truly don't care. Good for them. Just don't do this at places that make a difference

I found Mac completely unusable for software engineering. Additionally, I hate when coworkers use it because the Shell scripts get messed up

Wow. France is already on fire. Do politicians really want more?
