> Inviting a member of parliament just to talk about being a member of parliament

Reading from your linked summary, I get the impression it's not just about being a member of the parliament

I don't think making cities ad free in general isn't interesting to anyone who's not a German, let alone lives in that specific city

Dude, I think you forget about the pandemic.

There's no way any other event could be a in-person event right now.

Please check out Matrix.

You will get what you described without even needing a phone number and WITH E2EE

FluffyChat has a multi account feature

Ideas: (0) build on the Matrix protocol (and get 2) and 3) almost for free)

No, I uninstalled it when Facebook acquired WhatsApp.

I switched to Telegram, Wire and Threema.

When Matrix became viable in 2020, I switched to it.

Though, I still have a few contacts remaining at Telegram.

Well, we can't do anything about it. It basically has already happened through prolonged inaction in the last decades.

1.5 degree is about to become unreachable. Nobody really cares.

Perhaps. I am not sure if WASM is going to be it.

It certainly could be

I'd like to read about developing in the post JavaScript web

Encryption does not imply authentication, does it?

A recent example is "Message Layer Security".

While Wire and Matrix are working on a decentralized version the IETF is, unfortunately, working towards one based on a central entity.

Matrix itself has as much as an UI as Email (even less)

> is evidence of a strong reality distortion field

How so?

Why?

( I didn't care a bit about this aspect when I approached Rust )

Gitkraken has an undo button :)

Is it easy now?

"small"

6 months can be a tipping point happening or not.

Additionally, each produced ton of green house gases is contributing to climate change right now

The more electricity to decarbonize the more difficult.

You are making (wrong) assumptions:

- electricity is the only part where Bitcoin produces emissions (emissions of mining hardware)

- wasting climate neutral energy does not matter (it does: it's harder, takes more time and resources to switch to climate neutral sources; iirc studies estimate Germany needs to cut 50% of energy consumption to achieve 1.5° conformity)

- Bitcoin miners don't bypass widely adopted regulations somehow

The study was repeatedly updated. Latest correction is from Gaya Herrington (2021).

Regarding climate:

Carbon intensive manufacturing stays Carbon intensive if automated. You only allow humans to do another thing. Not trying to be offensive.

Having said that, I think you can make the greatest impact by trying to influence politics to step up the gears - a lot. Yes, you aren't a politician. But Greta Thunberg is neither. Still she mobilized masses of people which certainly had a lot of influence on politics.

Please do it!

Tbh, while I'd welcome it, I'd prefer rigorous Carbon pricing with dividends

So you have found things to be changed (back). Same goes for shops having centralized a lot especially in the US at it seems, while local shops are much more bicycle or even foot friendly.

Generally, there is no silver bullet, but there are a lot of possible solutions as you can see. And I am sure I didn't include most of them

> See, the thing is, there are no carbon dividends yet. We do have lots of carbon-like taxes (in the EU and elsewhere) though. So, there’s only loss, no gain.

Well, what not is ...

Should be doable, see recent supply chain law of Germany regarding human rights

Another option: get work nearby.

Some jobs will also get pay raises if there is demand for them, but people can't afford to take them.

Working remote doesn't work just for IT, and I didn't claim everything works for everybody. And incrementally increased taxation will allow for planning.

Poor people have a low enough foot print to profit with a dividend anyways.

The real problem with carbon taxing is that it must be realized globally

That taxation is redistributing wealth (supporting climate change).

Reducing loopholes won't reduce carbon emissions. Internalizing the cost will, so I can't even imagine how this would be more beneficial. So, just do both

1% (richest) = 15% emissions, so much for that

But carbon tax (ideally with a dividend) catches this anyways

Or they'll just move closer to work, or will implement Home Office, or will demand public transport (which can be combined with bicycles), or will drive electric (car, ebike, electric scooter/motor cycles) or will drive as groups instead of individuals, or a dividend will implemented making this scenario unlikely in the first place while still enabling carbon taxes.

> Do these people even know the carbon footprint of manufacturing a solar panel or a wind mill for their "green" energy?

Yes, and it can't be ignored. A carbon tax is universal

I don't get your whining on the middle class. Everyone can strive for a climate friendly life style. This generates a demand on a big scale, thus also solutions.

A dividend would help people having not much money and still need to use carbon intensive products (until there are alternatives), because they have a small footprint anyways
