I would say: even if it’s just a free video, C.Y.A. (wear some pants). At a minimum.

In other words, distance yourself from anything that ties to any sort of intellectual property. Don’t use their names in a title/description, don’t use their pixels (especially not in a thumbnail), use original designs and even add your own ideas or changes/improvements etc. Define, generalize, and abstract.

Keep any hint of it off of the internet until it’s finished and released.

Why do you interpret it this way with the context of ‘solarpunk’ and the door on the left labelled as an obvious bad thing? In other words, implying they’re choosing not to contribute to extinction.

Granted, I do think it’s wishful thinking more than anything.

EDIT: I guess I can see it with the wording if you just consider the door on the right to be escapism, though I also think even with that interpretation it’s probably unrealistic to assume that they can even do much with our current trajectory (even if current emissions somehow stopped overnight).

If you’re fine with buying and carrying around a flip-phone or something, no.

If you want the inactive smartphone you already have in your pocket to receive calls yes, because it will not work with the non-data SIM card. Even if you have 0 interest in data. EDIT: SIM compatibility might be part of that too, like how dual SIM adds another layer of bought-the-wrong-thing.

Similar to @jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works. I am sure better plans exist here (like another user pointed out), but aside from device type it may depend on what store you’re at or just how much research you’re willing to do into if certain options are still good.

wtf is up with telcos in wherever are you from?

Oh you know, they are given free reign because 🇺🇸

Internet pricing/speed isn’t great either.

Reminds me of old cell-phone service options. Free hours, rollover and prepay/pay-as-you-go/contractless etc.

Not sure how pricing/value actually compares, but it does seem like if you want a phone now for emergencies you’re going to get fleeced (also required data package). Unless maybe you buy a flip-phone or something. A fiber provider in my area even still charges $40 for a land-line (no idea if it’s VoIP).

I think OP is seeing the wrong correlation in a very not-all-rectangles-are-square sort-of-way. The correct attribution being the type of people who engage with the culture war (with some ties to masculinity or status).

My parents eat way too much meat (even though they often get tired of it, especially when it’s primarily cooked meat) and are the type of people who would say with a straight face that a side of edamame (soybeans) is basically HRT. They do eat vegetables but it’s still very meat-and-potato centric, less vegetable if I wasn’t always pushing for it (including proving to them that roasted carrots are good).
