The article is attributed to Glanze Patrick and if you click their name you’ll see a list of other articles they’ve written. I think it’s meant to be written in a generic tone so I can see why you would ask. I assume the author is human but who knows if they used something. It can definitely be hard to tell these days. I certainly hope not.

Listing bullet points from the article is something I consider to be very low-effort. I posted two paragraphs. People can read further if they are inclined.

I’m not a bot, I assure you. i’m a human that’s been on this instance for over 3 years that you’ve chosen to insult. What about the post was lazy? The condescending tone isn’t appreciated.

That’s a criticism which is yours to have though it is not constructive nor is this. Your comment called it “bullshit” and effectively said “fake news”. I made a simple request to be more mindful of your words. Pushing back further isn’t appreciated.

I found those without much effort. I didn’t say they were in the article. Just showing it’s not necessarily theoretical which was your opinion. Calling something “bullshit” can come across as unnecessarily combative and you then just dismissed the article outright. Constructive would be to state why and what about it could be improved which is more appreciated. People are free to read for themselves.

Such as this? This article is about it being developed 3 years ago . Totally valid to question an article. Please keep comments constructive if possible.

Thank you everyone for reporting this, constructively discussing in comments and using downvotes appropriately to bring to our attention. After reviewing the account and reaching out to them to no avail, along with their lack of response to community members, we’ve decided it is likely a bot account and have followed many other community mods in banning them from this community. Thanks again all for helping keep discussions constructive here.

Thanks for flagging that.

That seems to be the consensus

Thanks for sharing your inside perspective!

Enshittification of the night

Yeah this really seems like a multitude of disasters waiting to happen

I think you summed it up pretty well and that all sounds very accurate. There are enough green energy solutions out there that we shouldn’t have to sacrifice all the things you mentioned. I’m not reading much in the ways it would be beneficial or necessary.

Since you like Psycho, I’d recommend Peeping Tom by Michael Powell or several movies by Mario Bava from the era like The Girl Who Knew Too Much and Blood and Black Lace. Eyes Without a Face is also Great. Also Rosemary’s Baby and Repulsion by Polanski. For Japanese Films you should check out Yojimbo, Sword of Doom, and 2 by Seijun Suzuki ; Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter. Also check out Dr. Strangelove by Kubrick and if you like New Hollywood westerns , etc Bonnie and Clyde and The Wild Bunch are requisites. French New Wave stuff is important so maybe Breathless and Band of Outsiders and of course Melville’s “Le Samourai.” Spaghetti Westerns were very influential and Leone’s Man With No Name Trilogy ( A Fistful of Dollars, For a few Dollars More, The Good the Band and the Ugly ) and Once Upon A time in The West are a good starting point. There are so many but those are a few recommendations that might send you down further rabbit holes.

That looks really cool. A nice way to light up the night and make it feel safe, very Lunarpunk, without adding light pollution.

Yeah I thought it looked really cool. I’m glad you liked it. The photographer used the hipstamatic app which probably boosted the colors a bit. Images like this help to show the many possibilities we have in this in darker half of Solarpunk.

Not at all. They’re demanding anti-corruption, jobs, healthcare, etc . Another article with some background

It’s a bit disappointing to have this constructive conversation with you and then see what contradictory things you had to say in another community indirectly but you’re certainly welcome to your opinions as is everyone else.

Did you have any feedback on the rest of the article ?
