  • I’m not saying it will stay in that way. I’m just disappointed, that this number is not way higher, when comparing to e.g. Germany.

    And I would even say it’s the interest of developed countries (as they would have a stake in it, thus profiting from it). I’m not fond of a new form of colonialism (and I would grant them the sole energetic advantage they have of their location), but right now we just need to pivot as fast as possible, colonialism/“globalization” or not…


  • While this sounds like a solid increase. It’s so much lower than it could be. Germany alone did 14.1GW in 2023 and doesn’t have a very good location compared to most of Africa. (nor does it have that many people).

    I hope developed countries are using a lot more of their resources/invest a lot more into solar energy in Africa (e.g. via desertec). It would help both parties, and leads to more stable energy source throughout the year in the northern hemisphere.


  • Thanks for all the links, they are close to what I imagine. I need to check them out in detail.

    On the topic of high quality information of the commons, I think what we really need is a decentralized federated wiki technology, like lemmy but for wikis. One that uses some combination of consensus based peer review, version control, and author accreditation. As far as I know, nothing like this even remotely exists - yet.

    Yeah this would be pretty cool, similar as something like forgefed, There are so many wikis floating around, not being seen by potentially interested people, having something like that could enable easily linking between wikis and their different philosophies, or enable a federalized search for all kinds of topics. Hmm maybe I’ll look into that…
