Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere just hit a ‘depressing’ new record
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/carbon-dioxide-levels-in-the-atmosphere-just-hit-a-depressing-record-high/

Solar energy is reaching record highs.

Wind energy is reaching record highs

Coal energy is reaching record highs

Oil and gas energy are reaching record highs.

The problem is growth. We live in the final stages of a Growth Death Cult.

We are in the worst of all worlds: More wood
More coal
More oil
More gas
More hydro
More nuclear
More wind
More solar

It's an energy CONSUMPTION crisis.

Took #radicle the peer-to-peer code hosting platform for a spin yesterday... WOW. Just. Plain. Wow!

Everything feels like a fairly natural extension of git itself, for someone reasonably comfortable with git at the commandline.

git push and git fetch and such all behave as one would expect, using a git remote helper.

But also did a great job incorporating patch tracking, which, again, just feels like a special git push or fetch.

Issue tracking also feels similarly familiar.

5 of 5 stars!

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Ideally, riding my bicycle drawn electronics repair cart full of ancient hardware chips, from before the AI-FOSS Wars. I help communities repair their tech in exchange for a room and meal at the local inn, swapping stories and learning from one another.

What do you miss most about your younger years?

What do you enjoy most about getting older?

I mean looking at a few days worth of headlines - billion dollar ballroom, voting rights act eviscerated, Trump investigating people left right and center. It's a retrenchment. They intend to fight it out. They know they're fucked if the don't turn the Hitler trick so they are now going for the Hitler trick.

And part of me is like "they'll fail" but also? Have you looked at the opposition recently cause...

> Gnosticism and Agnosticism are not related at all

That's not quite right, as they definitely share a common root;

https://www.etymonline.com/word/Gnostic

> the concepts behind agnosticism but not the word itself was also recorded ... before the Common Era

Probably true of every concept anyone thinks was invented by western philosophers ; ) "The West" is basically a cargo cult version of classical Rome/ Greece.

I am all for ambiguity. But talking with fellow leftists about overcoming capitalism while simultaneously seeing them completely convinced that "AI" is inevitable and unstoppable, is nearly breaking me 😪

This really made me laugh

Seventeen years ago! I bought this multi-million dollar hoard of Sun servers from a scrap yard for $300. After testing, fixing, and swapping parts to max out some of them, I traded a couple for an SGI Onyx for the museum, a few more for parts of what eventually became my personal 16-proc Origin-2000, and kept two as compute servers for my film making.

(A maxxed-out E4000 has 14 x 400 Mhz UltraSparc II's, and 14 gig of ram (In 128meg sticks! Ha ha ha. Warm.)).

so, anybody who pays attention to my activity on here can see I've been less active lately, I have been having problems, that's just how it goes when living a life like this near the bottom of the economic pile. nevertheless I'm grateful for the assistance I receive and know there is room for improvement in how I cope with bullshit.

chatting with a friend about it, I had this observation: the other nice thing for me is that I've put so much work into rebuilding the system that keeps me aware of what to do, that it's all right there waiting for me after every time I fall on my face, so I can pick back up much faster and forget fewer important things (like the appointment I would've missed 2 days from now if I didn't have this in place)

...this is all built on free software and set up to be resilient and cost almost nothing to maintain, including the hidden cost of adapting to pointless change and selling out your behavioral profile if you do the same thing with Google. it took me years to get as far as I've gotten with it, and it's good to be here. big shout out to the Tasks.org guy (who'll never see this), I've sent him a few bucks in XMR lately. still planning to do a video on that app, it's a lifesaver with DavX5 and a CalDAV storage backend of one's choosing.

Ich will nicht Faschisten töten müssen, um Faschismus wieder loszuwerden. Wir müssen die Fehler im Umgang mit Faschismus nicht alle wiederholen. Es gibt Wissenschaft, die sehr gut erforscht hat, was gegen gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen Richtung Faschismus hilft -- und was nicht. Wir sehen die Entwicklungen in anderen Ländern. Wir sehen die Fehler in Echtzeit, nicht nur historisch. Und mich entsetzt die Lust, mit der Politik in DE sich bemüht, ALLES DAS NACHZUMACHEN!

@farah And if they did, I dint see nuthin'

@kagihq @papawilf Many thanks! That looks very promising 😍
I've set #kagi as my default search engine, will try it out!
I must admit that while i fully understand the need to finance such a service, i don't feel ready yet to spend 5€/month for my search... I'll try it and will think about it 😅💪
