A huge proportion of UK agricultural land is used for keeping beef cows and growing food for them + we import a lot of feed for them.

> a study that showed that this 85% of agricultural land which is used to produce meat and dairy provides only 32% of total calories and 48% of total protein.

Theres also a lot of other land that could be used for food production (e.g. for big examples see my last post + most land thats household gardens doesnt grow food)

Finally small farms produce more food per land area. Unfortunately farm sizes continue to grow (lots of farms are sold to larger farns) at the cost of the amount of food produced.

@pallenberg Guten Rückflug!
Vor Jahren habe ich das mal in München gemacht, da ging der Flug um 6 Uhr - habe direkt am Hotel übernachtet. Nicht ganz billig, dafür stressfrei.

In the UK more land is used for golf courses than allotments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_(gardening)
Extra bad because theres huge waiting lists for allotments in most cities and local authorities are supposed to provide enough to cover demand, but city councils pretty much never do this.

Golf course water use is huge. They can carry on putting huge amounts of water on their courses when households are banned from using hosepipes to water their plants due to low levels in reservoirs.

…Flying is in my view another one of these *going the wrong way as fast as we can* things. It’s much more visible because it’s a consumerist action.

But what really oils the wheels of our insanity is shipping. Just *astonishingly* unsustainable.

We’ll keep doing it until we create the conditions for the collapse of its supply chains https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/116928645665357082

@elettrona @macfranc @writefreely it looks like the nudging worked and WriteFreely 0.17, with the patch for the unlimited signups and many other fixes, has been released a few hours ago (thank you @matt !)

To fix the security issue with open registration, it should now suffice to upgrade to the latest version, no need for a custom build from Git.

hey #artists:
My friend who does spiritual counseling is making her first time web site and needs a logo that spells her four-letter name in a series of hand drawn letters comprised of stages of a flower opening. Any Fedi folks know of someone I can hire? Thanks in advance and please RT for reach?

UN to list more sites as 'in danger' from conflict or climate change

@ed @log @macfranc @allibragi Buongiorno. Ho letto da @elettrona che hanno rilasciato la versione 0.17 nella quale avrebbero sistemato tutto, finalmente.

@gkrnours this was intended as an insult to the french language and i apologize for abusing it in this manner

@elettrona @macfranc @writefreely

Buongiorno. Deve essere una cosa di qualche ora fa, perché ieri notte era ancora tutto aperto. Tutta questa storia mi sta facendo anche passare piano piano la voglia di continuare a usare WriteFreely. Non so se voglio ancora rischiare che chiudano il mio blog per aggiornamenti che vengono fatti con settimane o mesi di ritardo. E anche gli amministratori devono fare un sacco di lavoro extra, se continua così.

@sundogplanets
10x10m = 100m², so let's generously say 100kW light = 25kW photovoltaic power

for a few minutes (overflight in low orbit), guesstimate 4 minutes = 1/8 h

= 1.5 kWh per satellite and orbit for one location ~13 orbits a day.

At current energy market prices that is way below 60ct per satellite, location and day, before infrastructure and launch.

And all that only for the concentrated beam. That drops below 10ct/day for the advertised deployment, or 0.001ct/day for illumination.

@silvanomarioni @tecnologia co 'sta "ideologia gender" finta, ce l'ha proprio fissa. Una roba indecente

Allora ricapitoliamo: quando l'acqua tocca il culo, si impara a nuotare. WriteFreely rilascia la sua versione '17 dopo anni, perché una vulnerabilità grossa ha invaso mezzo mondo.

Per la serie chiudiamo la stalla quando le mucche sono già in strada.
Ma par quasi che i lo fa aposta!
