@stavvers Like, looking at their website, it looks like this is a very real effort to reduce carbon emissions in shipping while also avoiding a lot of the disadvantages that make traditional sailboats impractical for modern freight, and it seems kind of backwards to be shitting on that.
@BathysphereHat @stavvers what I believe is being mocked here is the need to frame every new idea as some kind of earth-shattering development. It comes from the tech-bro cult of disruption, which is not a sustainable attitude.
I agree that the idea seems cool, but the headline is just cringe. A few people poking fun at the media being desperate for clicks won't make the company decide to shelve development on sustainable shipping options.
