it looks like you got it, but generally anything that is embedable video uses the URL tags, except in very specific cases like tumblr gifv files

yeah, that's hit or miss because gifv's are being used as a container format and it will depend on the actual file encoding.

that's the default way its worked, so no real change there. the big thing was that they started working with img tags in some cases

Could someone point me to cyberpunk lit or media that is decidedly socialistic in its resolution or at least resistance of the cyberhell? Gettin real tired of these shows and games that just present the problems of late-stage capitalism then shrug it away.

for whatever reason tumbler gifv's specifically stopped rendering for me when using the [url] tag but would work using an [img] tag.

Altered Carbon trilogy. the protagonist is an anti-corporate antihero, with socialist revolutionary friends.

it was published 2002-2005. the author has since developed brainworms and become pro-trump and pro-brexit, but death of the author and all.

yeah the books make a hyper capitalist cyberpunk dystopia where you can never die but you have to pay rent seeking oligarchs to have access to your own body look bad.

but I guess now in 2020 it’s good. 🤷🏼‍♂️

in that vein, k.w. jeter’s Noir isn’t really cyberpunk but it definitely hits these themes.

he’s also a TERF, he’s got a blog post where he defends jk rowlin and insists in an essentialist gender binary. probably other things too but i don’t follow him or anything.

which is weird since he apparently wrote a whole drat book about frictionless transfer of bodies such that the consciousness was uncoupled from the physical attributes of the body it currently inhabited.

How much more would it cost to add basically venetian blinds made out of reflective foil on top of the greenhouses anyway?

The light pollution is awful and it seems like they're using more power than necessary.

the lights are probably already in reflectors. we see the same thing in ontario with legal cannabis grow operations (although its standard warm white light). it would likely cost more in materials and labour (because you'd want to completely remove obstructions between the plants and sunlight during the day) than you'd ever get back in savings on fewer lights / less power.

the biggest issue with this imo is the effect it might have on wildlife.
