I'm ready for Great War: The Remake. Put me in an A7V and send me to my death; I am ready!

[–] Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

HEADS UP!

BANDITS COMING IN ON THE PANDORA!

I MAKE FOUR PEACEMAKERS, BRITISH MARKINGS

Rifftrax version, sure, but not on its own.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I unironically love it. The fact that it has a big tribute to the Fleischer Superman cartoon The Mechanical Monsters helps. I had it on VHS when I was a kid.

Also, come on, zeppelin battle!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll watch The Rocketeer for my zeppelin fix. Plus Jennifer Connelly.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I love both. And both are dieselpunk.

Free and open access to encryption and therefore privacy, usually by developing FOSS encryption.

[–] thesmokingman@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

The manifesto is a good and quick read. Steven Levy’s Crypto covers the movement a bit too. It’s a bit strange to use it in this context because there’s not much more to it than PoC or GTFO, communication is key, encryption for everyone. You can’t really replace a more complete paradigm like cyberpunk with cypherpunk. I’d even go so far as to say you can’t combine solar and cypherpunk because cypherpunk is a direct response to the misuse of tech and government whereas solarpunk is about great government tech without the negativity.

Is solarpunk really punk though? Its like saying Utopias are punk.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is. The difference is cyberpunk is "this is what will happen if we don't fight back against the system" and Solarpunk is "this is what we could have if we DO fight back against the system".

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Solarpunk is often displayed as pretty post apocalyptic, but in a green, scrapper, free way

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Solarpunk seems positioned pretty firmly against the established corporate world. If being anti-establishment isn't punk, I'm not sure what is.

[–] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In this scenario, solar energy is the establishment though.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's not what establishment means

[–] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is inherently NOT punk.

[–] zeekaran@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You know how the stuff -gate means scandal? -punk means fictional genre, or aesthetic.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Maybe now but that is not what it meant in the 80s when cyberpunk and cypherpunk were coined. I am sure the punks are quite pissed off that their movement has been reduced to an aesthetic.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

None of the above.

[–] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Solarpunk is best punk ngl

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

His Dark Materials series then

Any solar punk recommendations other than "Monk and Robot"?
