Logistics are something too complex. Your statement makes me think you're referring to a scenario with one source of a product and either one consumer area or several ones. In that cass, indeed, a more denser region would make it easier, but the scenario I described consists of production decentralized and closer to consumption, making logistics easier and cheaper, with fewer middlemen.

But maybe I didn't explain it all very well. I have a couple or articles bookmarked in my pc that I will link here when I have the chance.

I just hope my memory isn't playing tricks on me, because it so, it's gonna be really shameful lol.

There are a couple articles I can link when I get home. They studied a similar phenomenon in some Brazilian cities. There are several factors involved, including food losses due to distance to consumption and the fact that smaller producers tend to grow more diverse food.

If you look at land use maps, you will see that the urban areas are so small compared to the agricultural and livestock area needed to support the population. This is the biggest cause of deforestation, and population density actually makes it much worse, because it centralizes consumption and requires more logistic costs to deliver the needed food, with much higher rates of wastes. If we lived in less dense areas, perhaps we could do with local, smaller-scale agriculture instead.

The hardest part is always bringing our know people to use it, but the good thing about pixelfed is that the content is accessible without an account, so you can create posts and share them with anyone.

Sincerely, the best thing consumers can do is to drive dumb cars and use them for as long as possible (cars aren't like phones, and can work reliably for over a decade).

Glad to be helpful.

One thing that saddens me as someone from a third world country when I see people with that attitude and supporting the corporations' decisions, is that I see how much we are fucked and we don't matter at all.

Any earphone option besides the ones with the jack are more expensive, even USB ones. Wireless phones are much more expensive, and the ones we can afford become defective so fast.

It's also sad to see people telling how the common stuff around me is obsolete. Well, I get it, we're the global waste from a capitalist view, but it still hurts to see it in action. (I wonder how people around here would react if they knew that microusb is still widely used around here and a lot of people don't even have type c cables)

In the end, companies will do anything they want and people will support them blindly. I just hope my current phone lasts for a good while, because not only I can't afford a new one, but, if I can't get one with an audio jack, I will simply have to listen to anything aloud for a long time.

From the juridical point of view, citing the gpl in your license is terrible (you didn't specify the version either). The best thing is to actually write everything from the gpl that you want.

Thank you for your response, I didn't know about secure erase. Looks like my knowledge is a bit outdated.

I have never read much about trim before. Now I'm curious about something: if an ssd was trimmed, is all deleted data lost? Is filling an ssd with random data unnecessary if we want so safely delete something?
