Unlike #cyberpunk which relies on future tech, and #steampunk which is stories centered around tech we used to think might work, #solarpunk is based mostly on tech we have right now, that those in power refuse to quickly implement as they are beholden to those who wish to make the world a cyberpunk hellscape.
Because of this, solarpunk as an artistic genre is only a tiny part of what it means to be solarpunk as we can if we put the effort in actually LIVE solarpunk.
Living solarpunk involves us to do the following:
1. Build and learn how to maintain a sustainable community
2. #Urbanism through political advocacy and increasing our own use of #publictransit and #micro-mobility devices.
3. Waste/energy/ #consumption reduction( #degrowth )
4. #DIY / #upcycling
5. Urban #gardening and #food forestry
6. #Righttorepair
7. Community cooking/sharing/bulk investment
8. Community #freecycling
9. Digital freedom. Using #FOSS based server social media, clouds storage and software to reduce costs and advertising
10. Create Solarpunk art and telling the story of a future that could be as opposed to the #doomer mindset that causes us stress

This is what my new youtube/peertube channel will be about and I have around 8 scripts written up already, but I have to make sure I'm not forgetting anything, not forgetting explanations and reasons for things and make sure I'm making them as simple as easy to understand.

Once I complete explaining point number one, this will become a collaborative channel, with many people involved just like how solarpunk has to be. We can't do all of these things on our own, the only way to make this work is if we are all involved and connected to ensure no one slips through the cracks.

Mini Tokyo 3D – is an open source real-time 3D digital map of Tokyo’s public transport system: Watch the trains and planes moving

Screenshot of a 3D map with buildings and railway lines, showing trains along the tracks
Trains in operation and airplanes that are arriving or departing are represented on a realistic 3D map with smooth animation. This is a “digital twin” that looks exactly like the real world in the digital world.

Users can freely move around on the 3D map and zoom in on the places they want to see to know the “now” of Tokyo. It can be used in various ways such as looking for the transfer route as a route map, checking the destination town and weather before going out, just watching the way along the railway by automatically tracking a train and judging if you should dash to not miss the final train from the current position of the train.

Mini Tokyo 3D is a web application that you can run in any web browser, regardless of device, such as PCs, smartphones, tablets, and set-top boxes.

You’d think by 2022 we’d all be seeing this type of data. It is fully possible (and the code is open sourced on Github). Personally, I’d like to see our council rubbish trucks being displayed like this, so we can see when they are arriving.
