This website by Dr. Damon M. Centola with the Annenberg School for Communication has a lot of interesting information and scientific research on topics related to spreading information and creating change.

I’ve been introduced to OSE. Now what do we talk about? in c/open_source_ecology@slrpnk.net

Hello! Great to have you here, sorry for the delay in responding :D

We can talk about:

  • Open Hardware Projects (particularly if related to ecological mindset ;))
  • Open Software Projects (also particularly if related to ecological mindset)
  • How to encourage people to participate in Open Hardware and Open Software Development
  • Discussions on starting Open Enterprises and Mass Collaboration Efforts
  • Discussions on what it's like volunteering or working with OSE
  • Attempts to replicate or contribute to Global Village Construction Set or Eco Homes and related projects
  • Topics related to OSE Guiding Philosophies (Integrated Human, Abundance Economy): https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Category:Guiding_philosophies

Personally, I'm going to try to start posting helpful resources starting with the more developed projects and proceeding to the less developed projects. I know that the way the wiki is, that it can be overwhelming for new people, even though it's really an amazing resource. I hope to make it less intimidating by helping people understand how to navigate the project.

But certainly by no means must all posts be absolutely directly/officially related to OSE.

Exciting that it passed! Hope to see one that broadens to farm equipment, cars, consoles, and medical devices....

TIL Colorado's right to repair farm equipment bill (hb23-1011) passed in April.

The D3D Giga is a 6x6x6 ft 3D Printer based on the D3D Universal 3D Printer.

There are a lot of videos covering the progress of this project on the YouTube Channel, including a 7 day timelapse of a build.There are also videos on creating a shredder and filament maker.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being mean when I pick on my nonvegan friends. in c/vegan@slrpnk.net

Why don't I gain anything by it?

How is it not helping to remind them where the ice cream came from, since they obviously forgot if they're complaining about it to a vegan.

And what makes you assume moral superiority? You said yourself that you understand how frustrating it is for us to hear about animals being exploited. That's where the joke comes from. People unthinkingly doing wrong and expecting us to say nothing.

Experts gather on Capitol Hill to condemn dangerous EATS Act (blog.humanesociety.org)
 

It's important to oppose the EATS (Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression) act.

From an email I received about this from Animal Equality:

"Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the strongest farm animal protection law in the country, California’s Proposition 12, which bans the sale of products that come from animals trapped in unthinkably small crates. Also in recent years, we've banned the sale of eggs from caged hens in nine states.

These laws have impacted the lives of millions upon millions of animals across the country. But now, agricultural industry groups are trying to undo our progress by introducing legislation in the U.S. Congress that would undo years of hard work and send millions of farmed animals back into tiny cages. We can't let this happen.

The "Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act" is been designed to wipe out all the state laws we've worked so hard to pass. If successful, the EATS Act could also destroy hundreds of additional state laws protecting animals, such as statutes safeguarding against the abuse of dogs in puppy mills, the killing of animals for the wildlife trade, and painful experiments inflicted on animals for cosmetic testing.

The EATS Act could even strike down state laws on a vast range of other concerns, including pesticide use, protection against lead poisoning, toxic chemicals in baby food containers, and child labor. Needless to say, this legislation is extremely dangerous!"

Depends on what OP means by being mean. I read it as the sometimes sardonic remarks that are almost compelled from us when they want to discuss their carnist lifestyle around us or to us as though we are just gonna be like "you be you".

Ten Lessons I learned from Peter Drucker (www.jimcollins.com)
 

I noticed some updates to the open source ecology wiki for a book called The Effective Executive.

The above link takes you to a digest of 10 ideas from the book. The value of these ideas is to encourage organizations of smart people to be more effective.

And so many people think eating chicken is healthy. Eating chicken is eating disease, filth, and suffering.

Do you think your male partner should understand menstruation and / or birth control? in c/twoxchromosomes@slrpnk.net
[–] Goldfishlaser@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I talk about my cycle so much that any men I'm with are going to learn eventually. I even make my guy friends hear about it.

I'm sure this varies with age, and some younger men may be more immature or resistant at first and I wouldn't consider it a huge red flag unless they were stubborn about it. But I would keep an eye out for other symptoms of toxic masculinity/misogyny at play and start a conversation.

But I'm in my 30s now and if a man is in their 30s and can't follow conversations about menstruation, that's a no-go for me. It would reveal a willful ignorance that I wouldn't be able to abide.

TIL where you can find a directory of vegan booze (www.barnivore.com)
 

Barnivore is a directory where you can easily search for vegan wine, beer, liquor and more.

From the site: "Brewmasters, winemakers, and distillers may include animal ingredients in their products directly, or they might use them in the processing and filtration.

When making the product, dairy, honey, and other things are ingredients in the final recipe.

When filtering the drinks prior to bottling, companies can use things like isinglass (from fish bladder,) gelatin, egg whites, and sea shells, among other things. These products grab onto the impurities and make it easier to catch them in the filters, though there are many animal-free alternatives in use."

Always remember that if you drink, drink responsibly 🍻

In this video, Mic the Vegan tells us about a novel technology creating a fat that is melty, lardy, and structurally similar to animal fat.

Lifting Vegan Logic Responds to Jake Trans Video Against Plant Milk (youtu.be)
 

Sharing this video because Jake Tran's video contained many common objections that people raise against using plant milks. Lifting Vegan Logic breaks down the reasons why these objections are fallacious.

Lifting Vegan Logic is a great channel that uses sarcasm and parody to discuss vegan ideas.

As the current steward of this space, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.

I am Goldfishlaser. I volunteered as a developer during 2020 for OSE, but outside that, I am more of a fan of the project than anyone official.

As mod, I will work to ensure that every member, regardless of their background, feels comfortable and respected here. Please refrain from harassment, discrimination, or any form of toxicity.

I'll make it a priority to keep you informed about any decisions affecting the community. Your input will always be valued, and I encourage you to reach out to me with any concerns.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to drop a comment below.

If it's your first time hearing about this project, watching this TEDx talk by founder Marcin Jakubowski can help you get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S63Cy64p2lQ
