Yes, hyperconvenience #consumerism is an active disembowelment of essential community living skills that leads to an independence that allows them to economically squeeze us like this
Reject convenience , embrace your sensory environment and capacity to create .

We change the tide in our town and it reverberates out, do what you can in your place i promise showing up #local and engaging #localcommunity in agency building tasks is the catalyze-- remind people around you they have power and show them in your actions they will follow
I work in local outreach , people are dying to understand their land and feel empowered as stewards instead of passive consumers. This is job security

I always thought that the corrosive fetishised #consumerism of crapitalism is a highly destructive ideology.
Not only because of #climatecatastrophe and pollution, but because a continuity of skill and trade light to prevail through time.
Woodworking still uses tools from before industrial revolution.
There is no reason that control system and software for not just critical infrastructure but infrastructure in general should require bespoke, embedded control systems that require specific expertise and parts from half the planet away.
The lift in our office building is frequently out of action and the buttons are all salvaged from different floors because they don't make that specific button anymore.

There are so many wonderful pictures taken with iPhone 13 minis on Glass. I’m not sure why people replace their phones if not for pure consumerism. And the planet doesn’t like it, and we don’t either. 5th heat wave incoming!

but I am a very cranky old guy -
I really need to stop watching hiking YouTube videos. Rather than making me say, "I really should get out for a hike this weekend" they usually make me say, "why yes, I should pay $129 for a small spoon because it'll shave almost three grams off my pack weight :/

We live in a world where people stick fake camera lenses on the back of their phone to feel better about themselves.

#Pets are good. The deep drivers, expectations and pressures around what pet ownership has become, instead, are half ridiculous, half dangerous. Seriously:

Yesterday I had bad overheats and and wrote some words about foss and #climatechange
https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@farooqkz/117009850309987783
Today, I have a headache.
Were you happy you could buy new clothes every month/week and get rid of the old ones?
Were you happy you could use disposable water glasses made of plastic because it was convenient?
Were you happy to buy so many gadgets including electronic ones but without any realistic use? "Smart devices"
Now are you happy with the #heatwave? How much fun do you have with it? That's what #consumerism as well as other factors have done to the planet.
Our ancestors were part of the planet. They were a member of the nature like many other members. They were using materials very efficient. Me grandma still does. There were few liters of water used for washing veggies. She gave it to me for the plants and the trees.
The modern world teaches us that this planet belongs to only and only humans. That the materials are all ours and without any limit. Our cities not only harm the planet but also there is no place for other creatures among us.

LLMs having the effect of diminishing critical thinking is a happy accident for those in power who only want us to consume.

I did not have pain, or much at all, for the past 1-2 weeks. I have no clue why, but wow life feels damn different. I will continue my medical investigations into this but the body can be such a mystery even now when we have so much technology and knowledge.
But well. Fantastic.
Soon I will meet with the most fantastic friends on Earth to see the eclipse on the 12th of August. I am focusing on organizing that. I want to make sure we can see it through my telescope, but we can also record it. This week am doing more tests. The Sun will be super low for the eclipse - 20:30 Madrid time is the full eclipse. And 21:00 is the sunset. We may miss it if we are not at the right location...
I am also focusing on promoting our latest TROM Article: Culture Cancer tromsite.com/2026/07/culture-c… on the fediverse. Maybe I will make a video about it soon, to discuss it.
I am also trying to work on new articles.
Worked on TROMjaro these days, and I would want to bring back TROMnews....because I miss that website a lot.
A lot to do, and doing these since 2007 or so. But is really hard...
Unfortunately I am doing really bad financially. No new supporters for the past month or so... tromsite.com/donate/ I have to pay for the servers, for food, for life...
The world is a stream of shit, especially online. When it takes me months to release an in-depth article about an important topic...is hard to make anyone even remember about you and your projects...
But well I am the living proof, alongside people like me, that this Trade Society is Hell on Earth and it does not matter if you do good things that hundreds or thousands of people value, or objectively your stuff is scientific and educational regardless of reach; does not matter if you try to be a good human being. You have NO VALUE in the Trade Society. You know who has value: those who trade. Sell, buy, market, compete, have a job, make money, collect data, etc..
At least that makes me feel better knowing that I am part of a lifelong experiment to prove how this Trade Society is indeed a Primitive and Harmful society.

🤦♂️ Oh great, another tech billionaire who thinks buying a sports team will fill the void of human connection. 💸 Apparently, $9.6B is the going rate for a new hobby when collecting stamps just won't cut it anymore. 🏈

Capitalizing on the #ClimateCrisis. I shouldn't have expected anything less.
