@cstross incidentally, @Kroc is writing a novel on a Psion 5mx, in which the world is within a giant sand hourglass, and it's slowly running out... (in between writing a truly cool new text editor for EPOC...) :-)

@neil Loads of shops in my area have collection point or you can take them to the tip.

I have a Ugreen 20Ah power pack that's fantastic! Most useful feature is the USB-C cable sticking out of it, so I never have to find a cable somewhere.

It's a bit big for my pocket though. Do any of you have a 5000mAh power pack with a USB tail like this? I've found a few in searches, I'm after personal experiences.

@Colman @ChrisMayLA6 We already know that there's a huge amount of biota lurking underground in the crust—not photosynthetic, unicellular, often obligate anaerobes—and I expect other rocky planets orbiting in the triple phase zone for water to be similar, especially if they have a tectonic subduction system stirred up by a large moon.

That set of conditions is rare but hardly likely to be uniquely so.

Big success of this week: I got all my coworkers to stop using LLMs by making a pretty good security and data protection argument.

Please clap.

Blogpost coming later, but I wrote a plugin for @dthompson 's #haunt static site generator, that lets you use #orgmode as your post format using #pandoc.

I wrote it because the gap between Emacs ('the' Scheme editor) and Haunt ('the' Scheme SSG) was annoying me, but I'm hoping it's general enough to maybe be useful to someone else too. Feedback welcome. My code sure could use experienced eyes...

Let me know if you end up using it!

@woozle explains a lot

@egonw
Yes, perhaps. Can't say I will. It is far more likely to listen to real scientific discussions in contemporary podcasts or to read in rare but good editorials than in blogs - or I am simply not aware of such blogs.

@woozle likewise

i'm only barely listening to the episode, tbf, i'mma wait until all 10 are available on the local torrent tracker and watch them then

@juliegiovacchini Dans mon enfance, il y avait une recette simple qui me convenait bien : tu mets tout et n'importe quoi, entre trois et douze ingrédients, tu sales à volonté, tu mélanges bien, tu émiettes ou pas, tu mets au feu un certain temps, quand tu as faim tu coupes le gaz et tu sers. Tu peux la refaire trois fois dans la semaine sans lasser les convives vu que ce ne sera jamais deux fois pareil.

The protest comes as experts in Sweden have warned that the government's climate policy jeopardises the country's emissions-cutting goals to reduce CO₂ emissions from transport by 70 percent by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.

@TheBreadmonkey we had those in my town (near Madrid) but were removed not long ago, I don't know why.

@Em0nM4stodon what answer corresponds to whatever Linux system-L does? Turns off the monitors, logs out, but doesn't do a full suspend, I don't think?
