Ein klares Versagen der Chefs vom Dienst: #Klima darf nur menschengemacht sein, weil dies die #Rechtfertigung der #Degrowth - #Politik ist.
Hintergrund: Man lasse sich folgendes Zitat von #Rahmstorf und #Schellnhuber auf der Zunge zergehen:
„Das insgesamt wichtigste #Treibhausgas ist der Wasserdampf. Er taucht in der obigen Diskussion nur deshalb nicht auf, weil der Mensch seine Konzentration nicht direkt verändern kann.“
Der #Wasserdampf (1% der Atmposphäre) hat also Glück gehabt, dass der Mensch nichts gegen ihn tun kann. Sonst würde er besteuert statt des Spurengases CO2 (0,04%). Auch Sonne, Vulkane und Meere dürfen keinesfalls etwas mit Klimaänderungen zu tun haben.
Nach Ende des #Impfzwangs und gleichauf mit Krieg ist #CO2 - #Ablasshandel schließlich das profitabelste Geschäft der Welt. Siehe hierzu meine neue Sendung
DIAGONOSE, PROGNOSE, THERAPIE Welche Faktoren sind für unser Klima verantwortlich, wie kommt es zum weltweiten Klimawandel und welche Gegenmaßnahmen müssen ergriffen werden?
Wahrscheinlich wird es wieder der wärmste Mai seit #Wetteraufzeichnung gewesen sein, was uns erneut ermahnt, endlich dem #Klimawandel den Garaus zu machen. Sie merken es, der #Sarkasmus bahnt sich schon seinen Weg. Auch #München hat sich jetzt dem #Klima-Taler-Netzwerk angeschlossen und wirbt für das Angebot, sich ein besseres #Gewissen #tracken zu lassen. Hören Sie Nicolas #Riedls Kommentar „Der #Klima-Köder“.

Des pesticides néonicotinoïdes ont été retrouvés dans l’eau de pluie du Japon, ont révélé des chercheurs dans la revue Environmental Monitoring and Contaminents Research, le 31 mai. L’insecticide retrouvé le plus fréquemment dans l’eau est l’acétamipride, qui pourrait bientôt être réintroduit en France par la loi Duplomb.
Within our present high-speed digital landscape, we see an irrefutable fixation with the lives of famous people. Including cinema launches and best-selling albums to candid interviews and digital shares, fans are always looking for extra facts about their favorite celebrities. Most commonly looked up themes are famous people’s backgrounds and their birth years. These pieces of information not only fulfill inquisitiveness but also allow admirers to form a stronger bond with the celebrities they idolize.
A famous person’s profile is beyond being a list of accomplishments. It’s a glimpse of someone’s life path and career trajectory. When readers look up a public figure’s biography, they’re not just seeking to know where someone was from or what roles they’ve played. They want to understand the struggles, key moments, and defining moments that influenced the human behind the spotlight. For instance, discovering Zendaya’s journey from Disney Channel star to renowned actress and fashion figure adds context and inspiration to her success. Her profile doesn’t just list her achievements, but her approach to reaching those goals.
Years of life is a commonly queried point, and not just for mere curiosity. It often functions as a source of empowerment. When someone observes a young actress Millie Bobby Brown making it big as a teenager, it offers hope to ambitious youth. On the other hand, watching seasoned stars like Keanu Reeves dominate major film roles well into middle age proves that creativity and ability persist over time. Looking up celebrity ages give insight into the timing of their career path, highlighting the phases of their fame and how they’ve developed through the years.
Celebrity age usually consist of a comprehensive variety of private and career-related information. They usually commence with the person’s full name, date of birth, and birthplace. Afterwards, fans regularly are interested in the public figure’s childhood, domestic life, and their initial entry into the field. As their work develops, key achievements such as famous roles, awards, commercial endeavors, and charitable activities are often noted. Many also appreciate details on a star’s private affairs, such as their romantic involvements, interests, and even quirky interests that add human dimension. These biographies commonly feature hidden tidbits or interesting details that engage readers and deepen a star’s persona.
In a age where fake news can propagate swiftly, the value of credible and confirmed celebrity bios cannot be undervalued. Reliable platforms like the IMDb database, Variety magazine, and updated Wikipedia pages are regularly the main points of reference for reliable details. Whether you’re writing for a blog, media portal, or dedicated community page, it’s essential to regularly update content to display the fresh and reliable data about a celebrity’s age, latest endeavors, or personal milestones. The showbiz world changes swiftly, and present hearsay can easily evolve into trending topics, making timely updates a important factor of maintaining trust with readers.
Specific public figures generate ongoing interest when it comes to their profiles. Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, for example, commands interest for her music, private affairs, and financial intelligence. Followers are always interested to learn about her evolving reputation and occupational progress.
Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet has ignited buzz thanks to his artistic background and quick ascent in the film industry. Pop icon Rihanna’s journey from singer to businesswoman and parent offers a layered and captivating story. Thor star Chris Hemsworth’s transformation into a international blockbuster actor and his real-world persona also keep fans clicking on his fresh developments.
Ultimately, public figures are more than entertainment icons. Their biographies demonstrate determination, grit, and originality. Whether someone is noticing a famous figure for the beginning, or watching their evolution for years, a carefully crafted biography and accurate personal facts link between notoriety and authentic experience.
Readers want depth beyond news—they want stories, value, and a purpose to engage. By crafting material that expresses the soul of who these public figures really are, you not only satisfy interest but establish a strong bond between stars and the public.
Leute reden vom Staat, als wäre er ein Beschützer.
Der Staat ist nichts dergleichen. Er ist eine perverse Struktur, die sich von uns nährt. Er produziert nicht, schafft nichts, er geht keine Risiken ein. Er extrahiert einfach. Er stiehlt uns Zeit, Kraft, unser Geld u. Lebenszeit.
The violence in Boulder and DC is atypical for the movement for Palestinian freedom. Even so, the anti-Zionist rhetoric, as justified as it may be, needs to be toned down.

There is pretty much no end to the crafty sidelining by Western corporate media of truthful assertions by “Hamas-run” entities—and the simultaneous provision of ample space to the Israeli military to continue its established tradition of propagating outright lies.
Ich bin sicher, dass unsere bürgerliche Hauptstadtpresse diesen Angriff auf den Rechtsstaat mit genauso vielen Artikeln begleiten wird wie einen ACAB Pulli.
"By all means, donate to humanitarian aid organisations. But remember: this is political. It is not an inevitable disaster — it is a deliberate, strategic one. There are military, economic, and political interests behind this genocide.”
At the Cannes Film Festival, the UN’s special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, speaks with EUobserver about the genocide in Gaza, and global complicity.
Ministerpräsidentin Meloni bezeichnete das Dekret als „einen entscheidenden Schritt zur Stärkung des Schutzes der Bürger, der schutzbedürftigsten Bevölkerungsgruppen und unserer Männer und Frauen in Uniform“.

DOGE fired the people who built it, parasitized our organizations, and killed the project. But the Direct File codebase lives on. Paid for by American taxpayers, the code is yours.
"All code paid for by taxpayer dollars should be open source, available for comment, for feedback, for people to build on and for people in other agencies to replicate. It saves everyone money."
Musk and DOGE ally with unscrupulous vendors who want to profit from their monopoly on tax software.
"Vinton said that the Direct File team worked for a long time knowing that there were people within government and external companies who did not want the IRS to create Direct File."
It would be super cool if this turns into basically the reference implementation of tax code as software code, with a team of accountants and programmers keeping it up to date with legislations changes.

A June 2023 study discovered Fanzors, CRISPR-like DNA-snippers in eukaryotes, including fungi, algae, amoebae, and a clam.
Fanzor is smaller than Cas enzymes, making it a potential fit for smaller viruses for delivery to cells. However, it may have a disadvantage in cutting multiple identical sites in a genome.
CRISPR-Cas systems work well in most organisms, but Fanzor might be useful for scientists working with certain bacteria where Cas enzymes are toxic.

In the bone-deep chill of 1792, they gathered on the edge of the Atlantic—over 1000 Black Loyalists, weary of the lies carved into the soil of Nova Scotia. 10 years they waited for land that never came. Now they would leave. Not in retreat, but defiance. Toward Sierra Leone, and the freedom they would build themselves. A home worthy of their struggle. #history #photography 1/26 Image: Founder of Sierra Leone, Thomas Peter's statue in Freetown Sierra Leone. Source: flic.kr/p/2amHbqo
They had fought. They had labored. They arrived in Shelburne, Birchtown, and Brindley Town with names logged in the Book of Negroes. But orders gave way to excuses. Promises to lies. The land they were told was theirs was rocky, withheld, or worthless. #histodons #blackandwhite #blackmastodon 2/26 Image: Colonial Williamsburg actor-interpreters portray the Royal Ethiopian Regiment.

By 1791, Nova Scotia was no sanctuary. It was a holding pattern—a place to delay the reckoning. And when that reckoning came, it didn’t come from Parliament. It came from the worn-down patience of Black settlers who had endured too much. #canada 3/26 Image: Historical map of Nova Scotia. Source: research.colonialwilliamsburg.…
I received this beast on tuesday. It's made by a company you might not have heard of, called Juno computers. They operate ouf of London, and much like Slimbook or Tuxedo, they offer laptops based on Clevo designs, as well as desktops.
Disclaimer: I haven't received any money for this video, and I don't get to keep the laptop either, so be nice ;)

This one here is the Neptune 15. It's a 15.6'' laptop, with a full HD IPS panel, running at 144hz. It's all made out of black aluminium, and it's pretty lightweight for the power it packs: 4.4 pounds, or 2 kilos, for a 10th gen intel core i7 CPU, with 8 cores and 16 threads, an RTX 2060 with 6gb of memory, and 16gb of RAM. My test unit came with 256Gb of SSD, but you can actually configure that up: it can go up to and RTX2080 Super Max-Q, 64Gb of RAM, and 4Tb of storage.
They have multiple keyboard options, mine came with as US qwerty keyboard, but you could get a bunch of other layouts as well.
The I/O is pretty excellent. On the left side, you've got a micro SD card slot, a USB A port, a headset and a microphone jack. On the right side, you have 2 more USB A, and an ethernet port
And on the back, a minidisplay port, an HDMI port, the plug for the barrel charger, and a thunderbolt 3 port for data, not charging. It didn't seem to be recognized by GNOME though, but maybe it only activates with something plugged in.
Now that it's out of the box, and I had a few days to play around with it, here are some first impressions.
First, that panel. It's good. It doesn't go ultra bright, but it's matte, so basically no reflections whatsoever. And that 144hz refresh rate is simply amazing. I didn't think this mattered at all, but after using it for a few hours each day, going back to my 60hz displays on my desktop was a bit of a shock. It really does make a difference. The viewing angles are fantastic as well, with no loss of color, or color shifting.
The webcam is pretty standard, at 720p, nothing special, you won't look like a potato during your video conferences, but it's nothing to write home about.
I thought maybe the power button would double as a fingerprint scanner, but it doesn't seem to be the case, but you still get a full size keyboard, with number pad, and, more importantly for some people, RGB. You can tweak the backlight to whatever color you want, and Juno Computers included a small utility in the top bar to let you tweak that.
By the way, another utility allows you to change the fan speed if you want, and switch profiles between the intel, or nvidia card, with an "nvidia on demand mode", which pairs well with GNOME's ability to open apps using the dedicated GPU.
Other than that, the Ubuntu install is a pretty much stock OEM install of 20.04, with the latest Nvidia drivers included as well.
The build quality is very nice, thanks to the aluminium, we'll have to see if the black texture doesn't scratch off too easily after a few more weeks of use. The screen hinge is pretty sturdy, and doesn't wobble much.
There is a bit of give around the keyboard when you type, and you'll definitely see it, but the keys feel good as well, good amount of travel, and satisfying, muffled sound. It lacks a bit of bounceback for my taste, but it's still pretty good. There is also some amount of flex on the back of the panel, but that's not somewhere where you'll be pressing most of the time, so it's not worrying.
Now, the windows key here, I could have done without. Building a Linux computer means selling it to Linux guys, and making the extra effort to remove that key and replace it by something else, a SUPER logo, or a Juno computers logo, or an Ubuntu logo even, would have been cool.
Now the trackpad seems excellent. It's super smooth, very precise, it really glides super well. Once I got some gestures set up in there, it's going to be a dream. Only problem: this 2 button layout. I've gotten used to a clicky trackpad, where two finger clicking does a right click, and going back to that seems a bit old school for me, but I'm sure some people will see this as an advantage.
It's a dream gaming laptop: beautiful without too much in the way of GAMER LOOKZ, apart from the RGB in the keyboard, and since the panel goes only to 1080p, the RTX2060 or up is largely enough to run at 144Hz and make sure you have a super smooth gaming experience.
Maybe there are others of you out there who are still ruminating on your PyCon US experience (you animals 😁 )... Among other things, I've been pondering the concept of "twiddling" from Doctorow's keynote (@pluralistic).
Since I'm not sure I'll quite have the bandwidth to travel to the bay for ehat[.]fyi, I decided to "have a take" via my blog...
Proceed with caution, as my uninformed opinion abounds...
Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/

Since I'm gonna be nebulizing saline 2x a day for the rest of my life, I'm trying different nebulizers. This silent mini one is not recommended by bronchiectasis forums because it can't be boiled and you're supposed to boil everything to Kill It With Fire. Some also say this "mesh" style breaks when used with hypertonic saline, which clogs the mesh. But this particular model is advertised for use with saline, so I plunked down the $$$ to try it. It's very small and cute. Has no breath activation feature so it gets saline mist everywhere; to spare my air purifiers I used it outside. Seems to work fine. Pic is of its "wash cycle," running pure distilled water. It's like a teeny cool-mist humidifier. Running distilled water through it gets the salt out, but to really clean it you run it with hydrogen peroxide, and the soak it in same, and then soak it in distilled water again. It will probably break in a month if used daily, but the mesh part is replaceable for $35, which is more than the cheapest mini models on Amazon cost. So, ever the intrepid product explorer, I just ordered a similar cheapo version and will test both to see which dies first. But not that often, because its, uh, front hole is a non-standard size and can't be attached to my Aerobika breath-exerciser thingy. On the other hand it easily fits in my bike bag which makes it a game-changer for long rides. I can always have this little sucker with me, so if I start coughing from crop dust or whatever, can give my lungs a cleaning mid-trip.
The Maw's Double Valved Earthenware Pottery Inhaler Bottle Replica is an advertising collectible depicting a medical pharmacy theme. This reproduction piece, measuring 9" in height and 5" in width, is designed in ivory and blue colors.
@ninapaleyGrok says: "The "Maw's Double Valved Earthenware Inhaler," produced by S. Maw, Son & Thompson in London, was a notable example from the late 1800s, specifically around the 1860s to 1901. These ceramic devices, often used to inhale medicated vapors or steam, became popular in England for treating chest illnesses like asthma or bronchitis. They typically involved a sponge soaked in treatments, such as opium or herbal infusions, and hot water to generate vapors, with a valved mouthpiece to control inhalation. By 1881, such inhalers were affordable, costing about 5 shillings (25p), and were widely available at local chemists"
