Ok thanks did not know that. But let’s compare this against a better approach.

Energy use for recycling

Vs reuse

Standardized bottle and jar sizes with pant ( not sure about en word, you pay a bit extra and get it back when returned) that instead of being melted down get a cleaned and reused.

Sweden had a good system that’s still works but not as good as it use to ( some types was removed and different sizes in use) but still have it for 33 cl bottles, as an example.

Haven’t tried myself but looking at a Mac for next time. Seems to be great experience and hardware integration somewhat up to speed. GPU issue is tackled a while back. https://asahilinux.org/ https://macdailynews.com/2022/04/26/asahi-linux-on-an-apple-m1-mac-mini-is-unbelievably-fast/ the fedora version was launched a few months back so I assume there is a lot to do. But active development and usable

Apple. Can run bare metal Linux now

Plastic recycling is the biggest scam of them all, they ship tonnes of it all over the world. PET gets “recycled” once. Ship around the world, Get some fleece clothes back which can’t be recycled.

For non plastic:

Most my packaging materials are going in the fireplace. That way a get energy back.

instead of A, clean it with hot water using energy B, getting in my car driving to recycle center using energy C, have it shipped to a recycling plant,other side of the world or whatever. Using energy from oil.

Material for paper can be made co2 neutral. Organic waste , sure just compost it.

Metalls yea here we have something we’re it’s great to recycle.

Glass. Meh just heated sand. But old glass needs to be disposed of somewhere so yea it is a point in recycle it.

What should be done is reuse and not using materials I can’t recover energy at home from. That’s a heck of a lot better.

Glass bottles that gets refilled is a great example. Other good ideas is to repair instead of throwing a way stuff. True for everything from cars to laptops.

From a capitalists view recycling means (to a certain extent) free labour, raw materials and transports.

Reusing and repairs means less sales.

Recycling is for most parts a scam

Well , thing is its different to hit downward from a pile of corpses, history and current rascist hegomony and not doing it.

https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-imessage-signal-whatsapp

So yea a bit of trust put in beeper. Matrix bridge and self host is as I said better.

This is easy. For services that’s not so good to start with , like SMS , WhatsApp etc.

For sensitive stuff i use signal with a fake number. Or other channels.

My way around the issue with the app and its collection is :

1. Install in a separate profile with empty everything. (So they get an empty contact list)
2. Install beeper in a different profil and connect WhatsApp to beeper.
3. Remove all permissions from WhatsApp. There if I need to reconnect sometime.

Oh and using fake number is also a good idea. And yes not as good as selfhosting I know. Signal is an option if you can get them to switch. Telegram is crap.

Love it , wouldnt work where i live , no flat roads. , Would be a new extreme sport going downhill though :) but I think I am gonna go for the one in the comments perhaps https://hackaday.io/project/180836-desk-ercising-with-the-exer-desk

I had an old windows AME install on a separate drive I forgot about. Updated grub in peppermint (Debian) voila all of the sudden my windows was added , no fuss at all. Simple nowadays

Lineage does not have any special privacy features besides not having gapps. You can use Microg for a balance between privacy and convenience.

Use aurora store and don’t login with any account. You will need the lineage for microg version or root to get it working

Yea that’s right , guinea pigs the right word , in some European languages Marsvin (sea pig)

Young drunk and punk. Just a very small price of my ear :) kind of a check this out guys … Haha

Sure , not using a phone is of course the best option. If that is an option. For most people, activist or criminals of any kind. Not usually an option.

You can at least verify the Foss code. Or trust the people that verify it.

True that for just using a sim card less phone.

However

GOS airplane mode disable any connection to the cellular network. If I’m wrong if love to hear some evidence to the contrary.

Cuy , a large hamster rodent. Better than rabbit. In Bolivia.

Bear sausage ,reindeer ,elk,deer etc…

Most seafood, shark , crawfish .

Callos ( not recommended )

Someone mention beef tounge , smoked and thinly sliced on a sandwich is great if you don’t overthink it :)

Nope , not if I don’t use a sim.
