@alexl@mstdn.io Isn't it so beautiful and terrifying how the Internet gives people the freedom to find mutually exclusive truth claims? Here we are, both assuming that our reality is correct and that the other person is mistaken. Do you see that from my vantage point, it is your sources that I would likely label as fake? Thanks for the interesting interaction, I hope that you have a good life and that you eventually change your mind.

@alexl@mstdn.io The things you listed do indeed sound impressive and I'm thrilled that you care about the environment. Keep doing that!

I meant no insult, I simply to not think that humans are as rational as we think we are. I don't really want to discuss climate change on social media with a stranger. I do not think it would be a productive conversation. Besides, I don't have the "qualifications" you are looking for so anything I have to say would likely be dismissed outright.

@alexl@mstdn.io @purism To be clear, I *do* assume that climate change is a fact. I've come to that assumption largely because people I read and sources I trust have shown me a compelling case. I respect that you have trust different sources and have therefore come to a different conclusion. Being strangers, we will not change each others minds. I'm just really intrigued by the idea that there is so much information out there that two semi-rational people can come to such opposing conclusions.

@alexl@mstdn.io @purism You and I clearly get information from different sources. I find it fascinating how strongly people defend views I do think are right. We all get our ideas by listening to others, I wonder who you learn from that makes the ideas you express seem more plausible to you than the ideas that I believe. Thanks for sharing an unpopular opinion! I think you are wrong but that's alright, the world needs all sorts of people and I think diversity and freedom of thought is valuable.

@alexl@mstdn.io @purism That is a really interesting perspective. Why do you equate belief in climate change with centralization? Using solar energy and batteries to create a decentralized power grid is one example where sustainable practice can break up centralized systems.

I do agree that there are many who simply use climate issues as a form of virtue signalling in order to ship more product. I hope that Purism is genuinely interested in the causes they speak about but only time will tell.

@alexl@mstdn.io @purism Why would it be wrong for a company to mention climate change? It is a topic that many people care deeply about. Even if it is not important to you individually, Purism seems to think that people will appreciate knowing if a company is taking action to be sustainable. If you don't like that then this may be a good indication that Purism is not the right company for you to give money to. Just spend your votes/money on a company that more closely aligns with your beliefs.

@kyle @linuxjournal Very interested

@strikersan@framapiaf.org @lunduke @gbryant I would like to use LBRY but the biggest thing stopping me is the inability to save videos to a list for watching at a later date.

If there is actually a way to do this that I've missed please tell me!

@purism Love this series of videos, each one make me a little more convinced that the Librem 5 will be a viable option for my next phone?

Would love to see if it can run a good Maps app. That's probably one of my biggest hesitations at this point.

@lunduke I also am present

Here's a really helpful explainer about Feminism, LGBT+, and Social Justice. It's long but I would say that it's worth it if these are topics you've heard about but don't feel like you really understand.

New Kurzgesagt video! This one is about vaccines and is really informative as always.
