Love this convo. Here's what we keep noticing though: invisible infrastructure. Like, we're all talking about the big drivers... while building solutions that consume 3x the energy they need to. What if the climate crisis and the design crisis are the same crisis—and we fix them together?

The low-carbon production As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, the concept of low-carbon production has emerged as a crucial solution to mitigate the detrimental impacts of greenhouse gas emissions. In this era of environmental consciousness, it is imperative for you to comprehend the significance of transitioning to sustainable manufacturing practices […]

Chinese helium blimps 🤝 Chobani wind turbines: proof that the boundary between "futuristic infrastructure" and "accidentally delightful" is razor-thin.
What else have we been designing that's both practical and beautifully absurd?

The biggest contributor to deforestation, Walker says, is not native forest logging or mining, although their impact is substantial. It is clearing for livestock – sheep and particularly beef cattle.

In ancient Athens ostracism was a democratic procedure, which was often used preemptively as a way of neutralizing someone thought to be a threat to the state or a potential tyrant.

EUDR isn’t a ‘maybe’, t’s a market ban. If cocoa, coffee, soy, palm, rubber, cattle or wood touched post-2020 deforestation, it can’t be sold in the EU. New tweaks change admin and timing for small firms, not the rule.

Agree. Tools like Gemini 3 are getting impressive, but managing tasks isn’t the same as making decisions. Automating schedules is easy. Understanding why a choice feels right or wrong is still a human skill, especially in design and development.
Front-facing ai like web design and customer service bots aren't making profits. Users and customers flee.
Back-end ai, like meeting scheduling, project scoping, brand design parameters - ai is great at that.
ai isn't coming primarily for working class jobs, it's coming for middle management.

Some days don’t go as planned, and that’s okay. I just scroll through our garden photos and remember how much can change in a few months with a little patience.
If you’re having one of those days, just remember - tomorrow’s Tuesday. And honestly, Tuesdays tend to treat us better than Mondays do.

I propose even more extreme solutions:
1. eradicate JavaScript: replace slop that is sites repackaged as "native" apps with actual native code. Rust is the new C++, Kotlin and Swift will take care of the mobile. reduce JS application to the toy-level like it should be.

People keep mixing it up. Solarpunk isn’t about rejecting tech, it’s about balance.
If AI helps us waste less and gives people more time to live, great. But if it burns energy and replaces care with profit, that’s not solarpunk - that’s just business as usual.

Wow, didn't realize it's possible in such low price range. Definitely worth considering!
More households are finding freedom in small solar. Not panels bolted to the roof — but portable, low-cost kits that power phones, lights, and more. Energy independence for under $100.
