in reply to NASA (unofficial)

@NASA (unofficial) Where because sea-level rise isn't uniform, it's higher in some places negative in others. A non-specific graph like this is pure propaganda non-sense. Global is a meaningless term in this context. Presumably some sort of average, but average of which locations? At any rate we're taking about 10cm / 20 years or 1/2 cm/year. Yep better move my pet ant out of the way.

Workshop: I Love Free Software Day


Anlässlich des „I Love Free Software Day“ am 14. Februar lädt die Berliner Gruppe der Free Software Foundation Europe zu einem Workshop über persönliche digitale Unabhängigkeit in den Werkraum der Pablo-Neruda-Bibliothek ein.

Englisch sprachiges Werbebanner für den I Love Free Software Day. Weiße Schrift auf rotem Grund, zwei Herzen sind abgebildet. Text: Valentin's Tag - Zeig deine Liebe für Freie SoftwareSoftware bestimmt schon lange viele Aspekte unseres täglichen Lebens. Viele Entscheidungen werden mithilfe digitaler Assistenten getroffen. Digitale Unabhängigkeit scheint in weite Ferne gerückt zu sein. Nach einem kurzen Impulsvortrag zu Freier Software und Digitaler Unabhängigkeit wollen wir in einer kurzen Runde unsere liebsten Alltagshelfer vorstellen und uns dann in kleinen Gruppen den alltäglichen Problemen mit Software widmen.

Der Workshop findet am 14.02.2026 von 14 bis 16 Uhr in der Bezirkszentralbibliothek Pablo Neruda (Frankfurter Allee 14 A, 10247 Berlin) statt. Die Teilnahme am Workshop ist kostenlos.

Bitte meldet euch unter diesem Link unverbindlich an, damit wir einen Überblick über die Zahl der Teilnehmenden haben.

Starts:


Saturday February 14, 2026 @ 1:00 PM GMT+00:00 (UTC)
