There are some people on working bringing it back with biomass https://csrail.org/
I'm not really clear on what the proposed advantages would be over modern traction though.
I suppose in theory steam is just water vapour so maybe you could eliminate the air pollution aspect of it but there would still be impacts of increased humidity.
Avoiding going on yt is definitely a plus. I am trying to move more to active choice of music rather than just what the algorithm is pushing. Obviously that requires upfront work but I think it's worth it.
Useful, I'm open to non-FOSS if I really have to and no networking helps.
It's on the list to try. I briefly tried i3 but couldn't get on with it. Though that was a bad time to try change as there was a lot of deadlines and I didn't really have the time to learn. I have a bit more time so I'm going to try again.
I worry I'm not "hardcore" enough for emacs (I have tried in the past and now mostly use Vim). I will give it a try though as quite a few people recommend here!
Useful suggestions, thank you!
I'm going to try some of the more FOSS options (I'm on Joplin at the moment) first but if they don't work out I'm going to give Obsidian a try.
This sounds interesting I did have some success with Pomodoro but stopped for some reason. I'll try flowtime out, thanks!
These are all excellent suggestions and your username is very apt :)
My read it now is just save as epub and at some point send over to ereader so Omnivore could help me a lot.
Looks interesting, thanks I'll check it out!
These are really useful suggestions, thanks!
Particularly excited about Trillium. I'm current trying Joplin but labour and time reflect and organize the noted means I'm rarely using it effectively.
Habitica sounds interesting. I definitely feel I need something like that. My struggle sometimes is in splitting projects into bitesize chunks (some are easier than others) some of my work can be quite open ended thought projects. I get caught in a trap of doing the easier work to plan work (like coding) rather than necessarily the most urgent.
Ah KDE activities might be what I'm looking for then. I am planning to transition from Gnome to KDE very soon.
It is possible and necessary to care about both.
The original comment is entirely valid. Deserts are not empty and those ecosystems have a complex relationship with other parts of the web of life.
The most important thing we can realize is the earth is a series of complex interconnected systems. We evolved under conditions where we were small compared the systems regeneration abilities. This is no longer true and we do have to consider how any project will affect and shift the earth's systems.
Its worth noting that CO2 emissions are not the only vector by which we are pushing the earth systems to collapse and they are interlinked. We can't push ahead on solutions that only tackle one aspect of the problem or we likely will be as unstuck as we are now.
The answer to some people using real issues to push for climate delay is not to pretend those issues don't exist (that will make the backlash worse!) but to get on top of them and study the whole positive and negative aspects and make an informed decision about the best options to tackle all the systemic challenges we face.
