Der Bundestag beschließt eine milliardenschwere Förderung für neue #Gaskraftwerke, bezahlt von allen Stromkund:innen. #Speicher werden ausgebremst, Gas bekommt den roten Teppich.

„Energiebranche zufrieden“? Sorry, liebes @ZDF: Wir gehören auch zur Energiebranche. Und wir sind es ganz sicher nicht.

@Em0nM4stodon Funny how Plato's The Republic still applies today huh?

he’s also telling me of the time a recreational fútbol league sent a team to a match in a prison, and later they found the guy who was the referee, asked for a ride and was dropped off downtown was actually a prisoner.

@alexchapman Hey when you going to update Thrive Messenger?

"A coalition of environmental and scientific orgs, represented by Earthjustice, petitioned the FCC for a comprehensive review of the environmental risks, impacts, and costs of satellite-based data centers.

The petition asks the FCC to pause granting any licenses for these “orbital data centers” until it conducts a programmatic environmental review."

“Allowing a million orbiting data centers with no environmental review isn’t just irresponsible — it’s reckless.”

Gotta love the Onion. Even when — indeed especially when— the humor has real bite.

@personalescrito

I have read many articles from many sources, not just mainstream western media that reported thousands of Iranians killed by the Iranian regime. This is not the first uprising to be violently suppressed. There was the women, life, freedom protests after the killing of Mahsa Amini in 2022 for not wearing a scarf adequately. Just because the US and Israel are led by violent psychopaths who gratuitously attacked Iran does not erase the human rights abuses of Iran's regime.

@GM7077 There are people who sell themselves out.

Oh hey! My team is hiring: https://www.ithaka.org/job/4705633005/ We're looking for someone who knows the culture and data of higher ed to help us get schools' data into the https://transferexplorer.org/ site, and then help them help their students, advisors, & admins use Transfer Explorer to help transfer students succeed 😊 It is a genuinely excellent team, capable and kind and cross-functional and mission-driven. Happy to chat.

Funfact: if a torrent's trackers are all unresponsive, you can just edit the torrent and replace them with good trackers. Then everyone you share the new torrent with will use the new trackers. There's nothing that says any torrent has to have a certain tracker.

Some programs (like transmission) even let you edit the list of trackers, add and delete whichever ones you want, and your program will just start using those new trackers. You'll can share a torrent file containing the new trackers for other people to use them, or they might coincidentally add the same tracker as you did. It'll work either way.

You still of course have to get permission from private trackers to track anything, generally by logging in on their website.
