Why ? I am sure there are lots of good architects that can’t lay a row of bricks for shit and won’t take feedback from builders and tradespeople either.
Maybe an excellent developer will read it, agree and have a go ? Or they’ll collaborate with somone.

- Comment on German lawmakers support plans to protect Ukrainian airspace from NATO territory by means of Western air defense 1 week ago:
Thats literally what I wish for. The entire reasons The Greens are about this is because they know appeasement never works with bullies.
Bringing NATO in would end the war
It might see the end of Russia and if thats what Russia wants they can launch a nuc but I suspect Vald wants to enjoy his billions and his mansion.

- Comment on 'Nothing short of horrifying': Rental affordability in Australia the worst it's ever been, report says 1 week ago:
We dont build homes to house people, we don’t grow food to feed people. We don’t generate electricity to cool or warm people.
If you have no money you starve, are homeless and shiver to death in a cold spell… or you’re a “criminal” and every election reinforces that with who we elect.
There are zero answers here within the orthodoxy of neo liberal economics and politics.

Digital Nomadic workers have been a thing for a time, most of then are contractors though.
There’s 1000s of then on Telegram and Reddit (digitalnomads) discussing what’s doing… not sure about Lemmy ?
Why only work for an Australian company if your aim is to never come to the office ?

Lol, I lived not to far down the road until late 2019. That described me most days of the week, especially after a day spent clearing the stuff off our place.

- Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking? 4 weeks ago:
There is a thing where some Americans when exposed to other ways of doing things in the world insisit everyone’s a commie. It’s interesting to me that McCarthyism persists and that commie is used as some sort of pejorative but can’t compete with the wide world on some things and resort to big daddy government protectionism eg TikTok, steel imports, ecars etc

There seems to be more competition, not much for Masto, lots for Lemmy, or so it seems.
I was interested in Firefish but it seems to have fizzled out. Gotosocial looks to have promise.
- Comment on Please defederate from threads.net 4 weeks ago:
And ? Thats still not a reason to federate. I joined the Fediverse years ago to get away from the “well meaning people” dragging us into the pile of shit because they don’t grok that meta/twitter is cancer.
If they’re that disinterested in why Meta/Bluesky is “cancer” then I’m not really interested in what they have to say on most subjects. Its not elitism, its the same reaosn I am not interested in what members of the Liberal Party have to say on a sinject, sure their is some sanity some times but I don’t want to have to wade through waist deep ship to find it.
- Comment on There's a baby drought in Australia. Maybe we should fund IVF? 4 weeks ago:
Had a vasectomy about 30 years becase their are too many people on the planet. That was the case then, now it’s fucking ridiculous.
One of the reasons we increasingly have a “terrible world” is too many people.
I’d suggest tax laws to discourage people having children.
Can always adopt if you feel the need, the world seems awash with unwanted kids who already exist…

- Comment on Great Barrier Reef suffering ‘most severe’ coral bleaching on record as footage shows damage 18 metres down 4 weeks ago:
As do I Dr. Ward, with ever election result reinforcing the deveststation of the orthodoxy and the disregard my fellow citizens have for a livable biosphere.
This is a fight we will win, eventually, and we should never give up or back down because that would delay our eventual victory. The primary enemy is idiots who don’t even believe climate change is real but as the world crumbles around them they’ll eventually acknowledge that mistake (it will be easier, by the way, for them to acknowledge their mistake if we try to be welcoming rather than ostracising those people).
We also don’t need everyone on our side. Just half of the population, and we’re pretty close to that number.
Can we win every battle? No. There will be losses and the reef could be one of them. But we have to win the war. There’s no other option.
The primary enemy is idiots who don’t even believe climate change is real but as the world crumbles around them they’ll eventually acknowledge that mistake
I doubt they’ll acknowledge anything like that, quite the opposite , we’re drifting further right becase of it and nonsense like nuclear energy is coming to the fore, not as a solution but as a banner to rally fellow conservatives to blame The Greens instead of self reflection on their own stupidity.
More rhetoric around refugees and more expenditures on stupid defence policies rather then managed abandonment and infrastruxtre to lower emsisions like electrified rail etc etc.
I’d suggest we’ll see more vitriol, more hate and more nonsense all while the biosphere gets less habitable.
We aren’t even yet discussing the actual problem, all we’re doing is trying to defy the laws of physics and buy our way out of this stupidity with nonsense like ecars and distract with nonsense like nuclear subs.
The challenge is way beyond anything we’re prepared to countenance as yet, both in terms of mitigation and in terms of adaptation

They are, this isn’t about helping, it’s about distracting.
“Better then fossil fuels” means kicking the can down the road. Dams emit lots of CH4 from rotting vegetation for example, destroy the local environment etc
We either cut back significantly on energy use (no cars, no flying, smaller very well insulated homes etc) or collapse civilisation, those are the only choices left.
Here’s an interesting take by physicist Tom Murphy
