Let us build together the largest resource on what is, and what is not #solarpunk!

@prahou
speaking of outdoor horniness: turning golf courses into public sex forests is solarpunk
golf courses are not solarpunk

@prahou abolition of the state and all the social hierarchies it exists to enforce is #solarpunk

So, no?

@bugbear as someone who's not smoking but vaping , and doing this for four years now only with the energy from my off-grid solar system (no joke. i also charge my power banks for the to-go situations, so my vaping device is 100% solar powered since then), i would say this is definitely solar punk from my perspective ️ @jollysea @prahou

@prahou is solarpunk even solarpunk?

[mynameistillian@plush.city]

@prahou god scrolling this thread makes it look like just a bunch of syllables and sounds now

[damp_cuttlefish@mastodon.scot]

@Neon_Cygenta @prahou Eternally recycling the same lead acid battery is pretty solarpunk

[the_dot_matrix@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@glitzersachen @prahou often but not always... I'm not old enough to claim any sort of expertise on the various scenes that could be solarpunk (thinking Atari and c64)... I'm sure someone wiser than me could distill this into a sound dichotomy

[bugbear@indieverse.social]

@DeltaLima @jollysea @prahou that's genuinely cool!

So as a middle ground, we can all agree that solar powered vaping *is* solarpunk! Right?

Edit: And I've noticed the 30% solar energy for your Mastodon server? Also very cool!

@the_dot_matrix @prahou

Well, Atari and C64 didn't need GPUs to program. And livecoding _some_ stuff doesn't need either (Pure Data for example for music).

The meaning of the terms "demo scene" and "live coding" might have changed since back then. I don't now.

@the_dot_matrix @prahou When I think of JavaScript, I think of Brendan Eich, who hates gay people, Laurie Voss, who hates unions, and Vercel, who hates the entire planet. I think a sweaty Bulgarian kid filled with yerba mate livecoding with Chicken Scheme on a Raspberry Pi is probably solarpunk, however.

@xan @the_dot_matrix JavaScript is not solarpunk. I know this.

@prahou rescuing a cat is solarpunk, but buying one is not!

[swachter@toot.boston]

@prahou Mending is solarpunk! TEMU / SHEIN is not solarpunk! Thrift stores are solarpunk! Department stores are not solarpunk! Handmade holidays are solarpunk! Landfillcore is not solarpunk!

[prahou@merveilles.town]

@maddiefuzz @lambda @liaizon OK!

BPA is to polymers as MSG is to cooking
