From Scratch (as much as I like Rust, it’s very likely more verbose from scratch). Haskell is perfect for these kinds of things.

Or free shipping at xx Euros, which results in me paying/buying a lot more unnecessary stuff…

I’d still call it extrapolation, it creates new stuff, based on previous data. Is it novel (like science) and creative? Nah, but it’s new. Otherwise I couldn’t give it simple stuff and let it extend it.

How naive one could be…

I’ll make it simple, as I don’t care about losing “that argument”: Don’t feed the troll

So in other words you’re trolling and don’t care about being right or wrong…

Ok, right the details are a lot of work to “survive”. In case you’re really completely isolated from society. I agree with that. Definition of harmony is what I probably missed (I did not necessarily mean the romantic understanding of it), you’re a lot more dependent on it. I did though in fact live somewhat remote for some time (as volunteer) and did indeed thrive there, I like hard rather primitive work in nature. The exact circumstances are also important (i.e. does it rain a lot, is climate mild, is winter hard (heating etc.)). But… you actually do stuff that makes sense, as your survival depends on it. Not like having to fix zillions of bugs in an overabstracted frontend, having to deal with incompetent but arrogant and power hungry bosses and all that artificial stress we have put our lives in. Or having to read the non ending negative influx of idiocracy that Trump produces everyday.

I rather like to keep things more fundamental. And I think if you’re up for it (i.e. active/fit, craftly etc.) it can be fullfilling. Obviously it’s not as romantic as you probably imagine most of the time. But I rather like to deal with this than having to get angry about society not seeing that our probably most important problem is climate change and not migrants etc. and not caring enough about it.

So you’re extrapolating from this single case? As I say, if you know what you’re doing it’s less effort than you think, you let nature do its thing for you and just nudge it in the right direction, so you just harvest the fruits. And yet again, just because that lifestyle isn’t for you it can still be for others…

And that is relevant how? I don’t say that it’s a lifestyle for the average person, definitely not.

In theory cities are more efficient, than living off-grid, I agree.

In reality though if you’re really careful and know what you’re doing (and are really disciplined and have educated yourself), you can live a true carbon neutral life.

All the infrastructure in cities and everything around modern life is just destructive in so many ways unfortunately…

And unfortunately the mass of people don’t care enough, to initiate the necessary systemic changes to make cities truly sustainable…

Counterpoint: I tried and I want to leave this broken society even more now (especially since societal enshitification seems to even accelerate).

Though you still need social contacts (that you really like) to avoid loneliness, so in case you have that, it’s a wonderful, peaceful and healthy way to live more in harmony with nature, but it’s a lot of work nonetheless.

Based.

I didn’t fly for years either (nor I do possess a car), so yeah agree, or at least reduce this as much as possible.

But nutrition also has quite an impact, especially when we must consider that highly carbon rich forests still get destructed for (inefficient) food. The high amount of meat consumption in rich countries is unhealthy as well.

Right but you have to begin somewhere, and being a good example for others certainly helps as well.

I try to change my life such that it doesn’t impact me much while having fairly large effect. For instance I’m basically vegan (still eat meat occasionally, e.g. when it’s otherwise thrown away), I even don’t want to eat meat anymore, the taste just got worse for me over time.

It also has effects on the market, e.g. Meat replacement products are quite affordable and popular.

Looks slightly off TBH, sources? Nuts being lowest, while Palm oil being quite high. Nuts are efficient, especially when considering caloric value, but I’m pretty sure something like a potato is better per kg. Palm oil AFAIK is a very efficient (most efficient vegetable) oil, might be that the destruction of highly carbon rich forest is factored in there maybe…

I recommend ad-blockers (ublock origin), I haven’t seen ads in like years on my devices.

Or millenia, if at all…

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

I’m really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I’m thinking about shorting the stock, it’s so vastly overvalued, and there’s strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)

I mean yeah for non-white people maybe. But teenage German girls, that’s a novum

TBF there are ways to completely disable updates in Windows (I just did in my VM because it should literally only run 3 programs which are not working with wine)
