No worries, I just browsed as [anonymous] for a few hours. Appreciate the effort y'all put into our little solarpunk corner of the internet😊
Historically, much of the renewable energy infrastructure (dams, wind turbines) in Brazil has come at an unnecessarily high cost to human rights and indigenous people's rights.
My country's (Norway) state-owned electrical power company Statkraft operates many projects in Latin America, and has employed shady tactics like divide-and-conquer on local communities.
We need more reneweable power, but our pursuit of it must be equitable. I sincerely hope Brazil (and Statkraft/SN Power) improves in this regard

I watched the Sam O'Nella vid just now, and... I'm sorry he had that experience? I guess SM might be more shite abroad?
What's up? In my household (in Norway) we've specifically sought out Swiss Miss for the past seven(?) years, because everything else (apart from home-made goodies!) tastes shite.
If I've lost out on something, lmk!
Yeah, when I first got into Linux and FOSS I'd read their articles to get oriented. Even followed them on Mastodon. For a time, the articles and content were good, but after a while I noticed a decline in quality and more talk about proprietary things.
Nowadays, I've muted ItsFOSS on Mastodon and actively avoid reading their articles, because they run so many paid placements and low quality stories with non-free things placed front-and-center.
Glad I'm not the only one of this opinion. Let's hope ItsFOSS changes
Title neither camelCase or under_score smh
Well, sort of. There are plenty of laws that don't need to be accepted by all UN member states, in order to be effective.
If you get a majority of states, the UN can maybe make it official law for all UN member states. This opens up the possibility of international sanctions being placed on all states that don't follow the law.
Certainly, even if every rich guy and shady corp in the world placed their hidden wealth in your country; you might still want to be allowed to trade with other countries, and not have your government leaders jailed if they ever set foot outside of your borders
Hurray! Now we just need the majority of other states, too. It's certainly a step towards a brighter future
