Newsweek: a US journalist, in response to Macron’s lawsuit, declared her readiness to sue en.news-front.su/2025/07/24/ne…

"Last year, 74% of the growth in electricity generated worldwide was from wind, solar and other green sources, according to the U.N.’s multiagency report, called Seizing the Moment of Opportunity. Meanwhile, sales of electric vehicles are up from 500,000 in 2015 to more than 17 million in 2024.

And renewables are booming despite fossil fuels getting nearly nine times the government consumption subsidies as they do."

Wayback 0.1 Released As First Preview Release For X11 Compatibility Layer


"Wayback is an X11 compatibility layer that allows for running full X11-only desktop environments using Wayland. It is essentially an X11 server backed by Wayland, leveraging wlroots and Xwayland. Our goal is for Wayback to eventually be a completely drop-in replacement to the Xorg binary, thus reducing maintenance burden for distro maintainers."

A 12-year UC Davis study in Briones Regional Park is challenging long-held assumptions about the diet and behavior of squirrels. Researchers have been documenting a recent trend of squirrels being caught on camera hunting and eating voles, even battling one another over the fresh prey. The theory behind this new predatory adaptation is that squirrels are becoming more carnviorous due to a recent boom in the vole population, providing an easy and abundant protein source.

Who needs power anyway

"Republicans agreed earlier this month to quickly end U.S. subsidies for solar and wind power as part of their budget megabill.

This marks a policy U-turn that project developers, manufacturers and analysts say will slash installations of renewable energy over the coming decade, kill investment and jobs in the clean energy manufacturing sector, and worsen a looming U.S. power supply crunch as energy-hungry AI infrastructure expands."

I keep waiting for the wheels to come off...

"Musk is no Technoking, but he's a strong contender for Enshittification King: a guy who taps the capital markets and Uncle Sucker for funds he can use to subsidize the initial rollouts of his stupid ideas, in the hopes of becoming so indispensable that he later can squeeze both business customers and end users for ever-larger sums to keep the illusion afloat (think of the junk fees he's piled onto Twitter users and publishers).

Cory Doctorow reshared this.

@Greengordon It's not just him, the modern business thesis of our time is "competition is for losers" à la Thiel. The goal for investors is to be a king of some tiny but “indispensable” fiefdom.

Today's capitalists are trying to cosplay the US Government of yesteryear which delivered readily commoditized technologies (TCP/IP, GPS) for cheap. So they say things that sound science-y. People (economists included) assume it doesn't matter where "innovation" comes from and spend + pray.

Today 7 pm #Düsseldorf-TechJustice: Uncensored Futures
Who controls the systems that shape our lives - & who gets left out? How are our lives affected by the digital world? Are we happy with it?
In this participatory launch event, we explore the idea of TechJustice - a movement for fairness, inclusion, & accountability in technology. Through storytelling, community conversations, & creative expression, we’ll unpack how tech reinforces inequality & how we can reclaim it for people & the planet...

What to expect:
• A powerful introduction to TechJustice through real stories (e.g., migration, AI bias, digital exclusion)
• An invigorating environment to spark dialogue on justice, power, and possibilities in tech
• Community, imagination, and a space to build new futures together.
• Everyone leaves with something: a connection, a creative piece, or a commitment to act.
You don’t need to be a coder or tech expert to join!
in reply to Amboss_der_Agitator

This is a space for everyone affected by technology — from healthcare to housing, from migration to education. Whether you’re an artist, student, worker, parent, or activist — your story, your questions, and your voice matters here.
This is just the beginning. Join us to set the tone for a topic relevant to all of us, where we can hopefully co-create a more just & inclusive tech world.

Das Bild zeigt ein digitales Design mit einem dunklen Hintergrund, auf dem vertikale Binärzahlen (0 und 1) in einem leuchtenden Grün fallen. Im Vordergrund steht in großen, bunten Buchstaben der Text "Techjustice Uncensored Futures". Darunter befindet sich ein weiterer Text in gelber Farbe, der lautet: "Wer kontrolliert die Systeme, die unsere Leben prägen – und wer wird ausgeschlossen? Join us to unpack the digital world through open conversation and creative resistance." Der Hintergrund und der Text vermitteln ein Gefühl von Technologie und digitaler Revolution.

Όχι εγώ, ο Δένδιας.

Δείτε την φάμπρικα που είχε στήσει ο Τασούλας στα Γιάννενα για εξυπηρέτηση ημέτερων:

Το Στρατοδικείο Ιωαννίνων δικάζει οκτώ υποθέσεις τον χρόνο, το Ναυτοδικείο δέκα και το Αεροδικείο μόλις δύο.

Συνολικά στελεχώνεται από έξι δικαστές και 15 υπαλλήλους.. «Για τις 20 υποθέσεις έχουμε έναν 21 ανθρώπους.. Καταλαβαίνεται ότι αυτό δεν είναι παραδεκτό σε οποιαδήποτε χώρα έχει στοιχειώδεις κανόνες λογικής»

Over the last two years I have been shipping boxes and boxes of the work clothes and shoes leftover from my office job, to my sister, in another state.
Everything was in like new condition, and of good quality. I also shipped over half of my husband's closet.
Because my sister and her husband struggle financially, and still work well into their seventies having the clothes and stuff to sell helped them to get by.
A week ago they had a giant yard sale.
She made some money and was ecstatic. They can get caught up again.
She said that it broke her heart to see people agonize whether they could afford jeans or shoes. So she told many people that her sister would want them to have that item and gave it to them for free.
She was right.
Sharing feels good.
Sweet peas are from my garden.
Good morning, Mastodon friends.

Δεν θα κανετε οτι θελετε, εδω εχουμε ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ. Ακουτε; ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ. Αν θελετε να μαχαιρωσετε κανεναν ελευθερα. Αν θελετε να σκοτωθειτε με τους "οχτρους" οπαδους ακομα πιο ελεύθερα. Σημαιες της Παλαιστίνης και τετοιες παπαριές κομμενες. Νο πολιτικα και δυο αυγά Τουρκίας.

@dj You can go read the motherboard's manual and see what those blinking lights mean.

They usually have a code where more or less blinking indicates one error or another

It's motherboard specific though, because it's forbidden writing standards that are actually useful

Swapping the CPU into another mono may not necessarily help unless it's the CPU being defective (If it boots it can't be that broken. If it overheats, the mono will shut it down automatically)
