Let's do this.

@TechConnectify Haven't watched the video yet, but have you ever considered uploading your videos to #peertube? I think if anyone has an audience that would carry over pretty well to Peertube it's you. And one of the biggest issues with Peertube at the moment is a lack of high quality content and creators.

@TechConnectify Heck yeah Midwestern frugality!

@TechConnectify *looks at the total time* OK, 3× speed it is…

@techindepth27 Are there any sustainable, open servers? Most I know shut down due to missing funding or have very strict limits regarding content and/or video length.

@adlerweb @techindepth27 the only “sustainable” peertube instance is (unfortunately?) the one you self host…

@adlerweb I don't know much about that from a creator POV, but MakerTube and TILVids seem to be decent? Like @janeq said though, the most sustainable instance will always be the selfhosted one.

@janeq @techindepth27 Yeah. Sadly they need specially encoded files, so hosting it would require double the storage compared to a classic website/RSS.

@TechConnectify

"Disposable Energy"

wow... with two words, the issue is simplified from seemingly complicated to dead simple. we don't need disposable forks, we don't need disposable packaging, we don't need disposable fashion and we don't need disposable energy.

the term also sheds light on why trying to reconstitute the products of combusting petroleum just feels so odd - it's like digging the plastic fork out of the landfill the next time you need one.

not all the way through the video yet but man, that term alone is transformational.

@TechConnectify oh nice just in time, i was looking for something to listen to over dinner

@TechConnectify post-credits ​applause

@TechConnectify

Great story, we need to look forward and embrace the future, not the past...

@TechConnectify Let's gooo, I was just watching your catalytic converter video

@TechConnectify
It must be considered bad behavior to post links without particular description, especially ones pointing to big-tech.

@TechConnectify As others noted on YouTube: that went from solar related to becoming "nuclear". Lovin' it. Best wishes from Europe.

@TechConnectify Oh, my favorite YouTuber who sits in the front of my socks with a great video again! (About 50% through and need to make a break for Formula E in a minute.)

Thanks for all you do, this is great!

@TechConnectify ah, solar. The amazing technology to save the planet, turned into a grift by business bros.

EDIT: OMG THIS VIDEO IS SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE!

This is one of the most important youtube videos I have ever seen. I'm sharing this with everyone I can!

Thank you so much for this video! Thank you!

@TechConnectify tl;dw?

@TechConnectify Thank you! I could not stop watching until the very end.

@TechConnectify this is so good, so well argued, so laser-targeted both rhetorically and culturally at the victims of the fascist disinformation machine that the petrochemical industry has constructed, that about halfway through I stopped feeling like "yeah! right on!" and started feeling more like "Gosh I hope Exxon doesn't try to assassinate him."

This is *amazing* work, stay safe out there.

@TechConnectify that last 30 minutes is an absolutely amazing coda to an already great video! Thank you for standing up and speaking the truth.
