Notice how the cryptotechbro edgelord response to problems is to colonise space and go to Mars.
So... migration.
Their immediate, knee jerk intuitive reaction to big problems in their environment is to migrate.
Yet hate migrants.
Hmm, interesting.
»Zu den folgenschwersten Irrtümern gehörte bisher, daß man der Jugend alles sie anscheinend Gefährdende fernhalten wollte. Nein, nahebringen muß man es ihr, damit sie richtig sehen und richtig denken lernt. […] Mit der Muttermilch sollen sie es elnsaugen: Fortschritt muß sich zu allererst auf dem Gebiet der *Liebe* bemerkbar machen, auf dem Felde der verkrüppelten Menschenliebe.«
(Franziska Mann in "Den Erwachenden", 1921)

@SamantazFox I try my best, but unfortunately forget it far too often, apologies! Working on it – but as usual, I cannot promise what I'm not sure being able to fulfill ("will do so every time now")…
That said: thanks for your nudging me. It helps me to improve knowing there are people I'd help with that. And not "a vague group", but *specific* people. So yeah, keep nudging 😉

"Dear Colton Scott,
This email is to confirm that your [...] password has been reset."
Ok Colton, are you good now? Maybe using my email address for that service was not the best idea.
I got the domain I'm using for my mails "used" a couple of years ago, so it was previously registered by another person.
There was a Paypal account tied to it and I constantly got the password reset mails until I disabled the address tied to the account.
This was annoying, especially since I had no idea how to get in touch with the owner.
Everyone should read the brilliant @emptywheel 's new piece on Musk and X/Twitter. We know what he has done over there is bad, but the depths of the criminal depravity can only be described as horrific. Empywheel has been on the case for over a decade, and has done a great job of laying it out here:

Elon Musk's Machine for Fascism: A One-Stop Shop for Disinformation and Violence - emptywheel
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, one of Trump's most gleeful supporters, has set up a one-stop shop: Joining false claims about the election with networks of fascists who'll take to the streets.emptywheel
"Jezz Bezos and Elon Musk emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average human does in their entire life."
...
“Half of the world’s emissions come from the richest 10% of people. The wealthiest 1% by income account for 16% of emissions, which is more than the poorest two-thirds of people in the world,”

Miniflux is a minimalist and opinionated feed readerminiflux.app
Miniflux is fantastic. I have been running a private instance for years without issues, except when reddit blocks it.
On the Mac, you can use NetNewsWire, which uses the Googld Reader API integration, it works quite well.
“Oxfam identified 23 superyachts owned by 18 billionaires and estimates the average annual carbon footprint of each of these yachts to be 5,672 tonnes, which is more than three times the emissions of the #billionaires’ private jets... This is equivalent to 860 years of emissions for the average person in the world, and 5,600 times the average of someone in the global poorest 50%.”

Got a very rancid scam text just now which I’ve pasted below. Warn your friends and family to look out for crap like this. It’s all fake.
The winter heating subsidy benefit plan provided by the government reminds you:
November is about to begin the severe cold period of this winter. The local council will decide to issue you a winter heating subsidy. If you can receive our information to prove that you meet the conditions for receiving it, there is no age limit for this subsidy plan. You can apply in the link Once you apply, we will review and issue it as soon as possible without affecting your receipt of other benefits.

Thank you for your support to the UK Government.
I've never understood how these people can set up webforms to capture all sorts of data, make sites look as official as possible by scraping logos and designing cunningly similar subdomains to the real gov ones, even putting genuine contact links at the bottoms of emails and such.
And then writing things like 'provided by the government reminds you'. Which is just not phrasing that we use, you know?
“El president de la Generalitat dijo a las 13.00 horas en un vídeo que la Dana se debilitaba a las 18.00 y se iba a Cuenca, cuando los expertos y los meteorólogos de todas las televisiones insitían en lo contrario. Se congratuló públicamente de que no hubiera “alerta hidrológica” poco después de que su propio departamento de Emergències la hiciera pública.”
