Check out Yunohost for GUI and ease of setup and maintenance
I’ve been a happy user for years
I still haven’t played it but I have it on my list thanks to an Italian review that pointed out some healthy aspects:
- no minimap, so you have to actually get guided by exploring interesting stuff around you; basically nullifying the “I have to go there to enjoy playing” effect
- you get to choose your role basically just by doing the stuff you prefer; basically if you like climbing and keep doing climbing stuff eventually you will bring the character to be a climber (the story is about a travel of self discovery, no progression stats iirc)
- no fighting, mostly like a realistic exploration lived irl

It was, hands down, THE place for every Italian media
It’s actually “us” in the political tech space that started using techno optimism as derogatory I think. I don’t know why you think that techno-optimism label was ever a good one and then co-opted :o
Cyberpunk was co-opted by the Californian ideology but “techno-optimism” I don’t think so…
I don’t see how being critical and optimistic about tech is mutually exclusive
It’s not… But it’s a bit like the word “feminism” that includes much more than women struggles. Techno-optimists it’s not about being positive about some technology.
Not all of them, but to me being tech-positive and understanding technologies can be sustainable is at the core of solarpunk
I agree, hence we say solarpunk and not techno-optimists :P
Longtermism doesn’t mean long term thinking and techno optimism doesn’t mean not being negative about technology my friend
I understand your point but we have to accept that longtermism and technoptimism are the terms we use for what you call extreme. Like racism is not just “talking about race” and so on :)
We have a term to call ourself and it’s solarpunks!
It’s about probability… Like an AI will have the same bias as the data it’s trained on, only talking about data and trends when talking about politics shows us the most probable stuff without taking into account the very good solutions.
Basically what I’m saying is: kurzgesagt it’s not a politics channel but a science one. They take data and read it for us. At most they are being a bit reactionary, but I wouldn’t say techno optimist :/
We want to aim to solarpunk society for sure but that doesn’t mean we have to ignore that it’s slow, hard and the actual trend is different.
BIG P.S. I must say for transparency that I still haven’t watched today’s video
