Yeah, my daily driver for work is a raspberry pi. I still use active cooling though.

For my part, I live in a rural area and raise my own chickens for meat and eggs. I buy fresh meat and veggies from local farmers. My whole household works from home which helps reduce my car footprint but I still drive a gas vehicle once or twice a week because we don’t have mass transit and biking is unsafe due to lack of infrastructure and big US trucks. There are a good 4 months a year that I don’t use AC or heat in my house and just open the windows. I don’t leave things on when I’m not using them. For work I use a raspberry pi and/or a tablet instead of a monster gaming pc.
I’m not going to feel guilty for my lifestyle, I do a lot more to reduce my impact than the average person.
Ideally we would all live in tiny, energy efficient capsules and work within a mile of our residence while consuming responsibly farmed foods. That way the entire population can suffer in order to offset the pollution caused by unregulated industry.
The average person hasn’t ignored it. Most people have made major changes to their consumption over the past 20-30 years without noticing it.
- LED lighting instead of incandescent or CFL lights.
- TVs are flat panel instead of tube (same for computer monitors)
- Electric cars are way more prevalent
- Most electronics use rechargeable batteries instead of single use
- Consumer goods contain fewer harmful chemicals
Change is being made, it’s just going too slow because individuals have very limited options while a handful of corporations are responsible for the vast majority of pollution. We’re not ignoring it, we lack the ability to make reasonable change to the situation.

Then I would drop a big rock on DC and credit reporting companies. Probably take out a bunch of healthcare insurance companies. Spend a few hours looking up companies responsible for the most pollution/human rights violations and remove them. Drop a big rock on the Kremlin and CCCP headquarters, probably North Korea too. Lots of big rocks dropped from really high.

Some narrators add a lot to the book with their tone and inflection while AI just doesn’t do that. It can’t understand the story and add subtle emotion to its voice.
That’s just planting trees with extra steps.
It’s nothing speak. It’s a lot of words that give no information.
