I think the answer is community. We have to be responsible to more than ourselves. We have to feel an obligation to more than our children. It can’t just be a selfish desire to hold on to what we currently have. You can maybe grip tightly onto your comfort in the short term, but the more we resist being part of the collective solution, the less likely that collective solution is to happen. In a sense, you’re echoing a bit of this bunker mentality where we have these megawealthy people who are buying up land in New Zealand and wherever else trying to save themselves. That seems like such a sad way to see the world. Like, do you want to live in a bunker for a year eating canned rations? Is that the life we want to build? Or do we all try to make sure we have a world where there’s enough for everybody, where no one takes too much and we share what we have. I’d rather share.
Yeah although if Russia wins it'd involve "unstable geopolitics" too.
This could be a long war.
Durian.
Texture of banana but with a huge seed. Tastes like a strange combination of rotten eggs, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, diced garlic, onions, cheese, and... caramel?
It's fucked. Never again.
It might cost more overall but it will be different people paying that cost (taxpayers and poor, mostly) whereas if we took action now it would be the capitalists paying for it.
To fascists, hypocrisy is a virtue:

They NEED to demonstrate their hypocrisy in order to signal to their supporters that the nasty shit they promise to do to The Other (immigrants, gays, whatever) won't be done to their supporters.
It is very rare to only get one term. So we're looking at another 6 years, minimum.
It's going to feel like forever 😉
Then try harder. If the receptionist at his building is enough to stop them then they're shit at their jobs.
National will never do anything like this. Even weed. A total non-starter.
Stacking the supreme court has benefits far beyond any single issue.
Remember, recently Russia vetoed a UN vote on stopping arms race in outer space.
A 3C temperature increase will cause “precipitous declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100”
Remember this is a global average. There will be places with a 100% decline.

This is a serious question, mostly addressed to the adult women among us but also to anyone else who has a stake in the matter. What did your father do for you/not do for you, that you needed?

So much wholesome advice!
I've seen a vanload of tourists happily taking pictures of sheep on more than one occasion. New Zealand.
You might feel more comfortable in a larger city. In London every person you meet has a different accent, it's amazing.
Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities
This is equivalent to USA threatening to strike North Korean, Iranian or Chinese facilities (all of whom have been arming Russia). No such threats have been made.
Just so we're clear who's escalating things.
Remember, the hacks in the news are just the ones that are detected. We don't know how many others there are.
Once Microsoft cloud was hacked, it is just a matter of time until every institution that uses MS is too. China has the keys to the whole kingdom, now. They can forge any certificate, they know every backdoor, they have all the source code. They will never be stopped.
In a sane world these events would trigger a global effort by every government to migrate off Windows.
Yeah I was heavily into peak oil once, too.
Don't underestimate the power of literally everyone on the planet really really wanting to avoid that situation. Life finds a way.
No - the VPN provider has another DHCP server for use 'inside' the VPN.
The evolution of software development over the past decade has been very frustrating. Little of it seems to makes sense, even to those of us who are right in the middle of it.

Wolfram plugin gives computationally accurate answers to ChatGPT queries using Wolfram's data knowledgebase and language. Custom visualizations are given as well. Stephen Wolfram explains how it works.
ChatGPT—for all its remarkable prowess in textually generating material “like” what it’s read from the web, etc.—can’t itself be expected to do actual nontrivial computations, or to systematically produce correct (rather than just “looks roughly right”) data, etc. But when it’s connected to the Wolfram plugin it can do these things.
Two 'firsts' this week for budding green hydrogen energy road industry.
Hiringa, with partners fuel supplier Waitomo Group and Australasia’s largest heavy vehicle fleet owner TR Group, on Tuesday opened three green hydrogen stations, with a fourth under way, within the North Island’s economic “golden triangle” of freight movement.
Petr Bystron, of far-Right AfD party, allegedly given €20,000 by pro-Kremlin broadcaster
A German politician has been filmed taking large sums of cash from a Kremlin-supporting broadcaster, Czech intelligence has claimed.
Petr Bystron, who is standing for Alternative for Germany (AfD) at European parliamentary elections in June, allegedly received €20,000 (£17,000) in cash from the manager of a Russian propaganda network while sitting in a parked car, recordings indicate.
Mr Bystron, who also sits on the Bundestag’s foreign affairs committee, has previously denied allegations of taking Russian money as a “defamation campaign”.
The Security Information Service (BIS), the Czech Republic’s domestic intelligence agency, now says Mr Bystron met with Artem Marchevsky, who allegedly managed a Kremlin-backed propaganda front called Voice of Europe, at least three times in the past six months.

> Am I worried for my families’ safety living in the Global South during this expected record-breaking hot season in 2024? You bet I am. But what worries me even more, is the millions of people living in tin shacks across this amazing region – whether in worker camps, slums, refugee camps, etc… How are they supposed to survive these heat extremes?
Depending on where we look, the universe is expanding at different rates. Now, scientists using the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have confirmed that the observation is not down to a measurement error.
Astronomers have used the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes to confirm one of the most troubling conundrums in all of physics — that the universe appears to be expanding at bafflingly different speeds depending on where we look.
This problem, known as the Hubble Tension, has the potential to alter or even upend cosmology altogether. In 2019, measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the puzzle was real; in 2023, even more precise measurements from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cemented the discrepancy.
Now, a triple-check by both telescopes working together appears to have put the possibility of any measurement error to bed for good. The study, published February 6 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggests that there may be something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe.

Automatically have a little copyright icon added to all your posts with your choice of copyright license.
I've seen someone around here manually adding a copyright statement to most of their posts and thought I'd see if others would be into it. It'd be unobtrusive and incorporated into the UI, rather than a piece of text in the post.
Your thoughts?
Frying the bacon bits for 6 minutes before adding the sauce = yum.
Multiple innovations have been released and are now supported in all modern browsers, and some of them fundamentally change how to make websites.

Next time you make schnitzel, add lots of sesame seeds to the crumb mixture and use panko breadcrumbs which are chunkier and lighter than normal breadcrumbs. Katsu sauce is like am extremely mild curry gravy, with brown sugar in it. Very nice!
The salad is shredded cabbage with corn that has been fried for 4 minutes in a hot pan. Little bit smokey in that corn way.
At this year's FediForum one of the breakout sessions centred around the Theadiverse, the subset of ActivityPub-enabled applications built around a group-centric model of content representation.
The main outcome of the meeting involved the genesis of an informal working group for the threadiverse, in order to align our disparate implementations toward a common path.
