Wind turbine vs mine

Yes, but mines ruin villages and their water supply; and if the villagers protest, then the company may kill them

I feel the need to clarify that these types of projects usually don't bring "generational jobs and careers" but usually bring outside workforce who will leave when damage done.

I was just talking about an alternative to those farmers. The whole thread was about those farmers, not the vote. If they want to restore the damaged landscapes, they could leave that to us as well, because we could cover the damaged landscapes with humanure compost that will break down most toxins. (Kitchen scraps also go into humanure compost.)

Also, besides mulch and native plants, we could grow drought-tolerant crops instead of irrigating, and to the degree that we can make gardener communities, we can scale up our gardens to farms.

We could garden and farm by ourselves and the communities we can make, staying as close to nature as possible, without tilling, irrigating, or using chemicals, and by using mulch and some native plants instead.

Yeah, but from an anthropologist view, cities (and specialization) have basically been the downfall of our species. I don't know; I guess bolo'bolo mentioned some city-like places supported by farms. (and Çatalhöyük)

Don't do it. Quit fighting nature. Move inland. Quit living in cities! Okay, I know no one is going to do any of this.

Benjamin Franklin wanted everyone to be apprentices.

Testing Alexandrite alternative UI

2y 8mon ago in meta@slrpnk.net from alexandrite.slrpnk.net

I like this UI better because it's more compact than Photon, but I like both so far because it's easy to turn on dark mode. I also like the previews better than old.slrpnk. I like how Alexandrite discussions open up in something that lays over the rest of the content, and I could close the sidebar to get a better view. I'd like it better if I didn't have to scroll back up to the top to close the discussion, but maybe that's a work in progress or something I could post as a wish on their development site.

PS—Oh, I can just press Esc. Oh, I think there's also a navigation bar that will let me close the thread.

Also, I like how it shows the number of unread posts since my last visit, but I don't think there's a way to either take me to these posts or to highlight them while I'm scrolling the thread.
