pm2 restart liquidtreesBecause there’s no serious answers being given even though there are at least 2:
- trees have roots, roots ruin any nearby human infrastructure. You’ll note this says “in urban environments” and that there are trees nearby, so this is probably the big reason
- trees need maintenance, which costs money. this is a stupid reason imo, but it’s one nonetheless
- algae is cool, ok?
trees dont ruin ANY human infrastructure. But the usual urban infrastructure isnt well thought out enough to exist around trees. But smarter urbanism is possible and in fact does exist.
People ruin nature’s infrastructure
trees dont ruin ANY human infrastructure
I think you mean all, as this reads more like “nuh uh, trees don’t ruin anything”
But smarter urbanism is possible and in fact does exist.
And those are not the norm, so for places that don’t plan to just destroy what’s already there and start anew, this is an option
On the other hand, algae do not produce shade, not sure if it filters atmospheric pollutants, and trees provide all sort of other services to the local ecosystem.
Maybe this invention can be used on places where trees cannot lives, but I’d still take a city with trees over a city full of green tanks.

These in the spots where trees once stood but were too destructive & trees everywhere else imo. Cool tech future AND trees, plus these are benches too it looks like

This part is the most surprising. For something meant to go in urban areas, where’s the hostile architecture? No railings between seats? No spikes?
(Sorry, you made me think of this article)
That sounds like it needs its own community. “Hostile Architecture” I love it.
Edit: I googled the term and think it could be a sub. https://www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/designing-for-typologies/hostile-architecture-anti-homeless-architecture/
Bet that algae box will need maintenance too :-)
“let’s uproot all these trees and invade this space. and when the roots of the few remaining trees do what they are supposed to do, let’s blame them for ‘ruining’ human infrastructure!”
Don’t forget pollen and seeds.
Oh yeah
I’m one of those elites who don’t have allergies so I tend to forget 😎😎😎
Plus pollen means having to pay to clean it off.
>:(
Let’s tie him up and sneeze on him.
Bees need pollen. We need bees and you can self host them.
Algae is also more efficient per cubic meter, if I understand correctly.
Not just more efficient, vastly more efficient. Algae is 10-50 times faster at processing CO² than trees are. Some algae can be up to 400x as efficient.
It’s just not as “nice” to look at, we usually associate algae with growth in unsafe bodies of water like bogs, etc. versus a nice clean pool or even a maintained pond.
How do I self host these? I tried
docker run liquidtreesit didn’t workTry
docker run liquidtrees:micro-algaeI think there’s an alpine build too if your system has low oxygen levels
Instructions unclear, installed Liquid Swords.
Not to worry, just make sure to change guid and puid to 1000 then restart the container
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/liquidtrees.git && cd liquidtrees && makepkg
or
add https://repo.30p87.de/private/archlinux as a repo, and sudo pacman -Sy liquidtrees. Then sudo systemctl enable --now liquidtreesJust tried this and my DE got replaced with Sway and now there’s algae oozing out of my keyboard
Thats not a bug, thats intended behavior. Issue closed
Trees don’t make number go up.
Don’t you want to subscribe to our Tree Ultimate program, that will give you a limited access to a living tree for 199.99 a month or 1999 a year?
pro que no los dos?
Gooooood Morning Night City!
Algae in water doesn’t burn like trees
Checkmate commies !
Devil’s advocate:
These cost far less to maintain than having a team or two dedicated to upkeep for the trees.
That said, I also think trees are the better option. These are an eyesore.
I don’t agree that these are an eyesore, they are not as pretty as a tree, no, but disgustingly ugly? Nah.
Seems like a decent idea if you have an over developed location where you can’t plant a tree.
The “cost” of maintaining trees is paid by the city to people living, buying things and paying taxes in the city.
People who don’t have a college education and get to make a living working outside, improving their neighborhood.The fake trees are likely put up and maintained by a tech corporation.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Someones gunna break it too.
Oh absolutely.
These probably require more maintenance and not less, glass needs to be regularly cleaned and water changed and fertilized, what will happen when company stops supporting this proprietary algae aquariums?
This is like 15 years out of date.
Enjoy the mosquitos
I like how everyone is acting like it is normal to have this in self hosted
I love this about lemmy.
Like someone stumbling into the wing house and still being welcomed.
It’s a lot more informal and relaxed than on the piss page of the Internet.
Very cyberpunk
Nothing is wrong with trees, but the microalgae CO2 capture rate is 50x higher````` .
I’m gonna bet that you’re going to get a much-more-economical return there by powdering whatever iron is used in building that thing and then dumping said iron powder into the ocean at an appropriate point.
This technique is controversial because there is limited understanding of its complete effects on the marine ecosystem,[5] including side effects and possibly large deviations from expected behavior. Such effects potentially include release of nitrogen oxides,[6] and disruption of the ocean’s nutrient balance.[1] Controversy remains over the effectiveness of atmospheric CO2 sequestration and ecological effects.
Geoengineering is bullshit proposed by funding from fossil fuel companies so they can continue to pollute.
The solution is simple: make it illegal to pollute. Fine the companies responsible for their past contributions to the climate catastrophe out of existence.
Their lifetime is also much shorter. Guess where all that CO2 goes, when they die ^^
I have a solution. More algae.
This is the solution. You drain it and sequester the carbon.
Based and algae-pilled
Fake and algae
Fertilizer
So I appreciate some outside the box thinking. But this just reeks of techbros invent trees but worse. Most of the considerations below seem to think trees and cars are natural enemies, I would argue we reduce cars instead.
The only liquid trees I approve of are the kinds that come in a 510 threaded cart and you smoke.
You can bioengineer algae to do pretty much anything.
