Games can be one of the nice forms of entertainment like tv series or films, so i’d say yes.

Just try to look for really good games, like zelda breath of the wild, bioshock infinite, twelve minutes, sayonara wild hearts and so on. No online games, no infinite games, no games that are more like a job than a game (where you have to grind for everything) and so on. Games that let you enjoy the gameplay, the art and the story without making you feel like ‘‘oh i have to login or i lose the fit and i have to get the daily rewards and bla bla bla’’.

Hello stranger I just wanted to let you know that I’m sorry that you got downvoted so much while being right lol

There is still much work to do :-)

Check out Yunohost for GUI and ease of setup and maintenance

I’ve been a happy user for years

If they are paying paypal, you are leveraging paypal to create a threat of violence on them. That’s not very Solarpunk of you.

This message is very ironic after having watched just yesterday the sociology lesson about socialization.

First you express that threats of violence are bad and then you express yourself a threat of violence to me. Because violence is actually used at every level to enforce rules and norms. Your attempt of relying to the menace of getting (at idealism level) kicked from the solarpunks is violence itself.

It’s not very solarpunk to immediately rely on violence while discussing ideas :P

So you do think it’s a real dichotomy?

I can trust people without trusting their, and mine, ability to remember everything. When a friend lends me money (trusting that I won’t just take them and ghost them), I keep a txt for every time I give back part of the money. Not because we don’t trust each other and are scared to steal to each other but because we are humans and don’t want to keep everything in the active memory of the brain when we can just write it down.

It’s a tool that has some functions on the microsociologic level and others at the macro one. On a macro one, yes trust can be a part of it if the platform bears some of the refunds part etc.

honestly i’m not sure myself if different tokens on same ledger is better than different tokens on different ledger for what i think…

Because, for example, not every pirate is also solarpunk. Not every archivist is solarpunk. Not every anything common based is solarpunk. They may want to contribute to the pirate sphere with this economic incentive but we still couldn’t completely onboard them on a solarpunk platform (centralized or decentralized ledger whatever)

Why not just trust people

I think you are implying a false dichotomy here, like money and trust are opposed. Anyway, trust in people doesn’t scale at all, it’s trust about platforms that can kinda scale. I do not trust a random person on the other side of the ocean i’ve never seen but if we use paypal and ebay i can kinda trust those 2 platforms

It’d need to be stable

not hard at all if community based

It’d need to be more private

I don’t completely agree with this. Wealth is unelected power. There have to be ways to not be tracked but a complete opaque system like monero is not wise imo.

It’d need to be backed by something other than waste

Trust among members i’d say

As you said, money is debt. The only thing we need is for some solarpunk coins would be a platform to control that debt. Not needing to input value into the system, even just having max debt per person would be enough to have balance. The struggle would be onboarding people, as every good project that has no real lucrative side lol

I don’t like the idea of a single coin

But one coin generated for hosting a platform, one coin for piracy, one coin for cooperatives etc seems the way to go

Oh right, also one coin for UBI

As per now, I struggle in imagining a layer one chain to support all of these. Probably it would make more sense to stay on eth and eventually move? I’m not sure.

fuck you? :)

sipping that ‘‘southern europeans are being carried on our shoulders’’ propaganda

I still haven’t played it but I have it on my list thanks to an Italian review that pointed out some healthy aspects:

• no minimap, so you have to actually get guided by exploring interesting stuff around you; basically nullifying the “I have to go there to enjoy playing” effect
• you get to choose your role basically just by doing the stuff you prefer; basically if you like climbing and keep doing climbing stuff eventually you will bring the character to be a climber (the story is about a travel of self discovery, no progression stats iirc)
• no fighting, mostly like a realistic exploration lived irl

If only we did not give up on social distributed verification instead of an automatic one e_e

tntvillage

It was, hands down, THE place for every Italian media

Yep. Also not a surprise that the wine society from the post is neither from Italy nor France :)

It’s actually “us” in the political tech space that started using techno optimism as derogatory I think. I don’t know why you think that techno-optimism label was ever a good one and then co-opted :o

Cyberpunk was co-opted by the Californian ideology but “techno-optimism” I don’t think so…

I don’t see how being critical and optimistic about tech is mutually exclusive

It’s not… But it’s a bit like the word “feminism” that includes much more than women struggles. Techno-optimists it’s not about being positive about some technology.

Not all of them, but to me being tech-positive and understanding technologies can be sustainable is at the core of solarpunk

I agree, hence we say solarpunk and not techno-optimists :P

Longtermism doesn’t mean long term thinking and techno optimism doesn’t mean not being negative about technology my friend

I understand your point but we have to accept that longtermism and technoptimism are the terms we use for what you call extreme. Like racism is not just “talking about race” and so on :)

We have a term to call ourself and it’s solarpunks!

It’s about probability… Like an AI will have the same bias as the data it’s trained on, only talking about data and trends when talking about politics shows us the most probable stuff without taking into account the very good solutions.

Basically what I’m saying is: kurzgesagt it’s not a politics channel but a science one. They take data and read it for us. At most they are being a bit reactionary, but I wouldn’t say techno optimist :/

We want to aim to solarpunk society for sure but that doesn’t mean we have to ignore that it’s slow, hard and the actual trend is different.

BIG P.S. I must say for transparency that I still haven’t watched today’s video
