Look I want to hate on overwatch because they definitely destroyed that one in pursuit of money, but that Torb at the end sitting with his turret and getting potg hit home hard.

Probably still won’t play, but right in the feels man.

Maybe they can bring it back to fun.

The core focus of early crypto was decentralization, not anonymity. Bitcoin is totally decentralized, but the entire premise is the blockchain contains a permanent irrefutable ledger of transactions. Basically everyone knows if Wallet A paid Wallet B. If you refill your wallet with anything remotely traceable, that means everyone knows YOU paid Wallet B, and similarly if wallet B has any ties to the real world, the lines are easy to connect.

That’s not to say you can’t use it anonymously, but that was not the intent and thus it does anonymity poorly.

“Crypto” is such a vague term it’s almost comical to imply it’s private. Sure there are ways to use crypto privately, but it takes a lot of steps.

Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

Naïve/entitled people fail to grasp the concept of compromise.

Jokes on them, my phones stupid fingerprint reader only works about 3% of the time. They’ll get frustrated and give up before finding anything, I know I usually do.

New OS is a waste of resources, but it would be great to see them embrace something like GrapheneOS

Mmm, I see, I see, so you’re voting for the only other person who could possibly win this election, Kamala Harris, right?

Ahh yes, of course, of course, so Trump to the rescue then right?

Oh okay, then you’re voting for Harris, right?

Trump’s Environmental Claims Ignore Decades of Climate Science

The other bits are simply repetitive.

That’s what, ~5 million tons/yr CO2e? That’s on par with the operating emissions of a large business - just for the “air” to fill a single product

Looks like someone out there had the same idea.

They’re currently selling a packaged system for ~$5k, which is a bit pricey, but maybe worth if you’re full time on the van life. Looks like you could probably fit 2 of these units on a typical roof, obstructions permitting. Alternatively you could do one tracker and one flat unit.

It looks like ground based 2-axis tracking systems can be found for ~$500-1k, you’d just need to bring your own expertise to mount it to the roof and program the controls yourself.

Semi-unrelated: others mentioned painting your van white (which you already have) but I’ll raise you one better - consider painting it with an IR-Emissive cooling paint, e.g., https://i2cool.com/

There’s unfortunately few products on the market at this time, but keep your eyes peeled.

That’s… That’s the… Well nevermind…

Remember kids, everything is a data mining trap. Be sure to submit your resume with zero PII, and at least 1024-bit encryption.

WaPo - “Democracy dies in darkness”

Bezos - “I can deliver darkness to everyone in America in 2 days or less”

I don’t know folks… It kinda seems like carbon capture might be a scam propped up by polluters who just want to get away with a few more years of destroying the environment to maintain business as usual.

Grove has become my go-to storefront for general household goods - they have a solid selection of generally reasonably priced jtems, and a strong aversion to plastic. They’re by no means perfect but I feel a lot better with them getting a cut of my money than Bezos.

They’re not going to have the billions of niche items on Amazon, but they’re pretty great for my needs.

They were talking about Nova, not Lawnchair. Nova hasn’t officially been abandoned, but they were purchased by a big data broker a few years ago, and just a few months ago Branch (Nova’s owner) laid off almost all of the Nova Launcher development team.

Nova is not dead, but the writing is on the wall.
