The company behind Instant Pot filing for bankruptcy because they saturated their market during the pandemic and the product is so durable, they have nothing else to sell customers is a great example of why planned obsolescence is a thing.

They should have taken inspiration from Apple and created an upgrade program where you get a slightly thinner & lighter version each year.

“You might want to put your cup of tea down and concentrate on driving,” British copper scolds driver 🫖 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66966006

This must be repeated again: The BEV movement is just corporate sponsored greenwashing. It's main goal is to sell people cars, not save the environment. It is also motivated entirely by greed and geopolitical domination (mainly by the Chinese government).

As a result, most people here encounter it in the form of viral marketing and online spam accounts. If they're not lying to you, they are willing to insult you instead. All signs that this is a astroturf group, not a real movement.

At @compost we are dreamers and we think we can heal the world with one bucket of compost at a time.

Our purpose is to inspire the #fediverse to do the coolest #climateaction that anyone can do to reverse the #climatecrisis

We have created a blog that explains how to compost on a small scale so that you can put the carbon back into the soil.

Then share the fun on #compostodon and #wormodon to find a community of doers and beat #climate anxiety.

And I think: "every post-mortem we ask 'how can we avoid this from happening in the future again?' instead of 'what can we put in place so we can easily recover from something like this?' there's a big difference"

September 2023 was a fourth summer month in the Netherlands, a full degree C warmer than the July-August average in the 20th century!

Our extended 4-month summer June-September was the 2nd warmest on record too, with an average of 18.1⁰C.

House just passed a CR to fund at slightly increased rates for 45 days. No money for Ukraine but everything else is intact. Senate has to vote yet. So, folks keep getting paid and the reactionary’s get more time to jerk us around.
