Great talk by @julian. Thank you!
Yes and no, in the context Julian explains it here it is.
By the way, diaspora* does it way better, IIRC the origin of an origin posting becomes the hub for it, and every reply, reaction etc. goes to that instance and is actively spread back to every instance which is subscribed to that thread.
Later there came a way to fetch reaction which were there before your instance subscribed.
But: I use "view original URL" if I share the post somewhere else (eg. messenger) to point the source
Yea, I rarely use it to fix fomo. Unlike the dude in the audiance suggests.
Sometimes there are so many replies I do not want to read to check if the answer I'd like to give is given already (in those cases I try to hold my answer for myself)

So, habe der EU meine Rückmeldung zum Thema CO2-Reduktion der Autoindustrie aka „Verbrennerverbot abschaffen“ geschickt, also hierhin:
ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r…
As owner of a BEV, I can only tell the EU politicians: the technology is already there. Some of the new improvements like BYD's and CATL's 10/12C charging batteries haven't yet arrived in the EU, but they do exist. Thanks to the way China's government created a price war rather than rent-seeking subsidies, as the EU did, the price of BEVs there are more than competitive. This success needs to be duplicated rather than avoided.
The EU should not attempt to turn Europe into a technology museum, which will make sure that all the jobs in the car industry will be lost, but strive to compete. To foster competition and affordable prices, tariffs and other protectionist measures need to go. Audi just registered 10k preorders within 3 minutes with their car developed together with SAIC in China: our car industry can do it. They need a stick to beat them to get there, they need partners in China, because they are behind, but yes, they can. Copying innovations is not a one-way street: we can do that, too.
The way to finance this transition can be copied from China, too: reduced VAT, no tariffs on BEVs, but additional taxes on ICE cars.
Don't allow car makers to slack around. Make absolutely clear, this is a make or break thing: if you don't go electric, you go bust.
Where technology can still be “open” are questions like which battery chemistry, and synchronous or asynchronous motors. But we definitely reached the point where we can say: from E-Bike to heavy trucks and busses: Battery powered EVs work. They either have advantages overall or minimal disadvantages, often due to lacking infrastructure, which will come when more of these vehicles are on the road.
I've been working professionally with batteries since almost 30 years, and the progress was huge. And there's still more progress to come. If you miss that train now, the European car industry will go the way the television, camera, and mobile phone industry went. It's boarding time now!
Get rid of ICEs. Don't bet on E-Fuel, this has very limited use, e.g. for long-distance flights and ships.

PSA: our new release 0.87.0 out! 🎉
The list of newly supported devices, new features, improvements and fixes is simply too large to post here, so make sure to check out our blog post!
Of special note: in addition to the regular F-Droid releases, we're now publishing official releases, signed by us, directly on our Codeberg repository. And our official builds have also been picked up and published by IzzyOnDroid for easy future upgrading. 🚀
More in our blog post: gadgetbridge.org/blog/release-…

We're following up the 0.87.0 release with a quick 0.87.1 release. This is necessary to fix a regression that was reported with syncing certain workout types on certain Garmin devices.
0.87.1 is already available in the releases section on our Codeberg repository and on IzzyOnDroid. F-Droid should follow in a few days, depending on the build roster.

Tusky - An Android client for the microblogging server MastodonCodeberg.org
Push-Benachrichtigungen auf Android-Handys ohne Google. Dezentralisiert und Open Source.
Mit Open Source Tools wie microG bekommt man zwar erfolgreich proprietäre Google Software von seinem Android-Handy verbannt; die eigentlichen Benachrichtigungen werden aber dennoch über Google Server verschickt (Firebase Cloud Messaging).
UnifiedPush ist ein Framework, mit dem Push-Benachrichtigungen dezentral bzw über selbst betriebene Server zugestellt werden können. Zahlreiche Open Source Android Apps unterstützen bereits UnifiedPush. Unter anderem: Tusky, Fedilab, DAVx⁵, Fennec, Element (mit Einschränkungen) und viele mehr.
Dieser Vortrag erklärt, wie Push-Benachrichtigungen im Allgemeinen funktionieren und warum sie trotz ihres eventuell schlechten Rufes eleganter sind, als jede App eine eigene Serververbindung aufbauen zu lassen.
Des Weiteren werden mögliche Privacy-Probleme erörtert die mit der Benutzung von Google Push Servern einhergehen.
Anschließend wird die Architektur von UnifiedPush erklärt.
Der Vortrag endet mit einer praktischen Anleitung wie man UnifiedPush auf einem Android-Handy benutzt.
Y’all. This is a known spammer who is picking up momentum. We’re seeing LOTS of accounts using the same name and avatar. But the bio varies from instance to instance. And a minority of them don’t have an avatar, but still use the name.
If you see these accounts, please report them. We’re trying to wipe them out, but we can’t until we know about them.
Thanks for the teamwork! 🤝

Ah yes, the huge waste problem. If only we could recycle any of that.
Oh wait, we can. And we do. Today.
Meanwhile, let's keep ignoring that other waste, shall we?
Sorry, it is hard to not be sarcastic after dealing with the same one-sided question for years.
Nuclear waste is currently recycled through the PUREX process, where spent nuclear fuel rods are cut down in smaller pieces and then chemically treated to keep the uranium and plutonium (read: the fuel) to create new fuel rods with them, which is called MOX fuel (Mixed OXide).
This is possible because spent nuclear fuel, after having been in a reactor core for four or five years, still have up to 96% of the fuel available. It is just too contaminated with fission products to remain high efficiency at that point.
The fission products, which are a wide group of short lived isotopes, are separated via the PUREX procedure and put in glass granulates. This vitrified stuff is chemically inert and highly radioactive for around 300 years. In the Netherlands we store around 1.5 cubic meters of it each year in an above-ground facility called the HABOG building at the COVRA facility (see below picture). I had a tour there last year, which was really fascinating.
The disadvantage of the PUREX route is threefold: 1. It separates out the plutonium, creating a potential proliferation concern; 2. it's somewhat costly, so only few countries do it (the Netherlands does it via France's Orano facility in La Hague); 3. it's not that efficient in burning up all potential fuel.
There is an alternative in the works via pyroprocessing (yes, by high temperatures), which leaves the plutonium mixed with the uranium. This route in combination with another type of reactor, called a fast breeder reactor, can be used to create a better way to gain a 100x efficiency gain in fuel efficiency. This leaves essentially the short lived fission products.
Then there's another development going on via molten salt reactors. This way opens the possibility of isolating specific isotopes from that 'soup' of fission products, which then can be used for a plethora of industrial and healthcare use cases. If we develop this the coming decades, there is a potential to actually more or less completely recycle all of the waste.
Fast breeder reactors and molten salt reactors get online in the coming decade. China already got one online recently. I expect a lot more developments in this regard in the next few decades.
But again, compared to all other energy sources, nuclear energy has by far the lowest waste stream in absolute volume and the best maintained one by regulation. If for example the solar industry was expected to be on the same level of care, it would go bankrupt overnight. The nuclear industry can only maintain this double standard because of the amazing energy density of uranium.
Hope this helps!
