Sunshine and Moonlight are as close to magic as I've ever felt for incredibly low-latency streaming. I used it a lot early in the pandemic to play games from my PC in a shared space in my home on a low spec laptop while I was sick with COVID.
Later, I tried it while traveling and was shocked at how well it worked over a pretty bad link and a VPN (Wireguard).
this is the unfortunate truth that people so desperately want to ignore. responsibility for climate change does not and should not fall on individuals.
me going vegan is not going to stop the forests from burning.
Most people have no agency on climate change (or pollution or poverty or nuclear war etc). People like to pretend otherwise because they don't want to feel powerless and we have all been conditioned not to admit there is no solution (that we can achieve) to a problem.
One of the great advantages of democracy is that people FEEL they have a say. But individuals actually have no input at all. And that's just nationally. This is a truly international problem.
We cannot just "hope and try" our way out of this issue any more than we could solve an asteroid impact by each building our own little rocket.
I believe we won't see real action as long as people who care limit themselves to personal action and wishing and trying to inspire 8bn others to "do the right thing" simultaneously.
Sorry, that sounds personal when I read it back, I'm honestly not sure how else to say it.
One of the few rays of hope for me in all this is the Extinction Rebellion group here in the UK. Because they have embraced this. It's time to act on a huge scale or die. Everyone doing their own thing is just dying but with more steps.
