The local DSA chapter is doing a D&D style thing but with some changes...
"We'll be having a one off campaign with a Socialist twist — we're using Roberts Rules of Order. Instead of individually declaring actions, each player proposes motions that are discussed, amended, and approved by the whole group following the Robert's Rules of Order process. You can battle monsters, unionize your local tavern, redistribute your spoils to the masses, start a working class rev…

I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").
