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.

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

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

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

I don’t remember the name but fried ants and spiders in laos .

Surströmming , fermented herring In Sweden. Properly served it’s great.

Alligator, crocodile pretty ok.

Just to say I have eaten long pig. I cut off a piece of myself and ate it.

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 :)

Peppermint , Debian based , important stuff there but still slim , shit just works

Cromite is the new fork

Vanadium or cromite. Really no point in adding Firefox on top of chrome’s webview.

Not much to go on , but my next will be apple. All previous hp elite and thinkpads. This since you now can run Linux properly on them.

Ok then let’s send better weapons to Hamas. I am sure they will be happy to precise target and hit all military installations. It’s kind of sad to see privileged people pointing out how someone else is supposed to fight the boot on their throat.

Where I live we almost only have mom and pops shops. So I support them as much as I can, but yea it’s hard to get stuff without Amazon , electronic parts and other more specific stuff. Yea Amazon is evil, but just a symptom of a sick system. It’s not hard to see why they are successful. I would use a similar system in a socialist society

Maga much?

Swedish works on graphene even without any Google support. No root needed either.

I am all for ways to increase revenue for devs, I have donated. However ads are anti privacy by default. A way for people that don’t want to donate but still want to support? How about a list of referral links people can use? Good middle ground.
