  • I don’t get it. He wrote a book in which he says that “He believes in the reality of human-driven climate change and the risks it poses to life on this planet.” (link) so I guess he’s making these fossil fuel concessions for the sake of the economy? If he truly understands the risks, what he’s doing seems extremely short sighted.

    Maybe our economy is so reliant on fossil fuels we can’t simply stop building new infrastructure? Maybe he knows that solar & batteries are growing so fast that these pro-fossil fuel deals are like a “last meal” to a dying industry? I don’t understand.







  • I use my phones until they’re limping and pleading me to just let them die. At that point I look on the used market and buy the best previous-gen phone I can find for the cheapest price, then repeat. I’m not a fan of cell contracts - I like to buy my phone outright to keep my monthly bill as low as possible.

    Up until now I was only buying used Pixels so I could install Graphene, but if Goog ever locks the bootloader or anything like that I will move to something else supported by Graphene.

    Or maybe just revert to dumbphone and start carrying a small ultralight laptop around for internet stuff. Probably less doomscrolling that way.
