1·1 month agoI’m not familiar with the development situation there, but that’s unfortunate. Maybe some of our talented solarpunks could lend their programming skills to making HedgeDoc 2.x a reality?

2·1 month agoHedgeDoc seems like more of a replacement for Etherpad, with Cryptpad being “overkill” in terms of features, but I’d also be interested to know if there are other options available…

Water@slrpnk.net•Showdown in the American west as Colorado River faces crucial deadline: ‘Mother nature isn’t going to bail us out’English
2·4 months agoShortages could lead to dramatic changes in how water is distributed in the future. More than 70% of water is used by agriculture – which includes thirsty crops like alfalfa and hay that are used to feed cattle and the bulk of the winter lettuce and leafy greens grown in the US.
Here it is. Animal agriculture is the single biggest consumer of water, using much more than even controversially water-intensive activities like hydraulic fracturing… but the author of this article deemed it important to mention lettuce?

Accessible texts with substance point towards some activity people can do in real life, some change they can bring about by doing a specific thing.
For example:
- Live vegan. No one is free until everyone is free.
- Plant trees. Capitalism and the state have been waging war on the forest for millennia for a reason; the whole system depends on grass.
- Plant fruit trees. If you grow your own food, you are much less dependent on the system.
- Share. Nature produces enough for everyone’s need. Share fruits, share information, and help your neighbours live more freely too.

I agree that some of these are not really a concern. I didn’t write the list.
