I can go get shit, oh god
It’s so surreal to think about

#Tuvalu, likely first modern country to become uninhabitable, has new plan for keeping control of fishing rights even if its land disappears by #climatechange.
#LawOfTheSea treaty says sea territory, fishing rights only exist with reference to land territory, but is silent on what happens when land changes, disappears. Tuvalu has multi-pronged strategy to form intl consensus that sea borders remain if their land disappears.

Capitalism is corporation telling you got sold something while it's not, it's just a loan at their leisure and then can taketh away.
Exhibit: software, media.
Capitalism is also corporations convincing you to give them something for free and then selling it to others like it is theirs.
Exhibit: 23andMe, Facebook.

True story. I once showed up at the office in Germany wearing a "World Container" t-shirt, from the Tragically Hip 2007 tour (didn't attend) and album.
I was asked "is that from a Docker conference?"

Two and a half weeks are left, to make the official European Citizens Initiative #TaxTheRich work!
We still need 690,000 signatures, which sounds like a lot, but for a union of 450 million people, it should be a piece of cake!
We also still need 4 more countries to reach their national threshold of supporters:
BE, NL, IT, ES, SE are on a good way.
If you are an #EU citizen, and have not signed yet:

What I really want from technology these days is passivity. Physical buttons, and PASSIVITY.
No guessing, no anticipating, no predicting.
No autofill, no autocorrect, no autodrive and PLEASE God no autoplay.
Just be inert until acted upon!
Hi.
So, the Inbox rules is available for paying users only right? (not available on mobile, too?)
That's not cool, I think.
Blocking someone is a basic privacy feature, right? Why is it paywalled?

Yo me daba por contento con 35 (5x7) o 32.5 (5x6.5). Bueno, por contento no, pero lo daría como un verdadero avance. 37,5 no cambia nada.
Pero si llegan a 30 les habría que hacer un gran monumento, jaja.
“Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants | CIO”

> Many developers say AI coding assistants make them more productive, but a recent study set forth to measure their output and found no significant gains. Use of GitHub Copilot also introduced 41% more bugs, according to the study from Uplevel, a company providing insights from coding and collaboration data.

As I see the devastation caused by hurricane Helene I can't help but remember that no country on earth is doing more to intentionally slow progress on the shift to renewables than the United States.🤡
Intentionally. Slow.
Because to us, the problem is that the solar cells are being made by Chinese billionaires instead of by American billionaires, and the EVs are being sold by Chinese billionaires instead of American billionaires. If we can't win, your planet can burn.
We are good people.

Shout out to everyone that's going to read what I said, and interpret it as that I don't love my country enough. 🙂🙃
They will literally interpret my not wanting Cat 4 and Cat 5 hurricanes to hit the Southeast every year for the next 50 years, as the "anti-American" take, and interpret my wanting US to do common sense things to keep warming under 3 degrees as "unpatriotic."
My life does not improve if we "protect" the US EV market for Cybertrucks that no one wants. At all.

Shout out to the drama queens that want to pretend that it would be hard to accelerate the shift to solar. It wouldn't be. We're literally putting the breaks on it because it's happening "too fast." We're cutting subsidies because they're working too well. 🙂🙃
What are we doing? True clown behavior. 🤡

Ask people being rescued from Helene if the switch to solar is happening too fast.

"American ingenuity" spent most of the past 10 years investing in monkey jpegs (NFTs) and giant EVs that no one can afford. China invested in, solar cells, battery tech, trains and buses, and affordable EV cars.
I don't know how to tell you this, but our US national capital allocation strategy of "Give most of our innovation budget to anti-democratic, racist, sexist, alt-right guys" doesn't seem to be working out for us. 🤷🏿♂️
We pair that with our "throw cans of soup" activism. Silly.

👴🏻"It's not that simple to change."
Yes it is. You just wake up one day and do better.
👴🏻"It's more complicated than you make it sound."
No it's not.
👴🏻"It's important for US industry to thrive. You can't ignore that."
This one cracks me up. US companies are about to get absolutely cooked in giant industries that matter: Car sales, power generation, battery tech. The green path makes *more* than the "Protect NFT billionaires that hate US democracy anyway" path. QED.
What are we doing?

👴🏻"People in the path of the hurricane are suffering. Now is not the time to talk about climate change policy..."
Yes it is. Don't "thoughts and prayers" me on climate change.
And besides, I already prayed to my god about it, and he said, "I'm not going to save you. Here's my best offer: I can bless the human race with common sense, a continent full of natural resources (Africa), and like 1 or 2 billion people who can make cheap solar cells and wind turbines for you (🇨🇳 + 🇮🇳). Save yourselves."
"People in the path of the hurricane are suffering. Now is not the time to talk about climate change policy..."
Yes it is… you can either rebuild the same and entrench the problem for more decades, or you can forgo rebuilding and build something new, something different, something more resilient, sustainable, efficient. The hurricane has torn down a lot: for God’s sake don’t build it up the same again!
The US subsidized the hell out of corn, enabling "innovations in corn growing technology" (real term, not kidding), and then we were like 👴🏻🇺🇸"Oh no, we have too much corn! So. Much. Corn!"
So we started pumping out corn syrup, so we could drink corn, and we convinced cows to eat corn, and we shove corn everywhere we can, and export it, making corn cheap around the world...
So we do understand the concept of cheap solar.
The difference is that the world needs cheap, clean energy, not diabetes.🤷🏿♂️
I also would like to add, having worked with the utility industry for the past year:
It’s not enough to keep making solar cells and EVs, we need a grid that can handle the new load characteristics (Distributed vs. centralized generation, larger demands at home for charging as well as electric appliances). Right now we don’t have that, and building new transmission has long lead times.
Not an excuse, because there are none, just another thing we need to get going on!
All facts! But what's an easier engineering, political, financial, and social problem:
A) Increasing transmission capacity, and generating even more power closer to the source where it's needed (eg, more solar and wind in Oregon and Washington).
Or
B) Dealing with the increased severe weather and flooding, heat related excess mortality, forest fires, abandonment by the insurance industry, change in insect patterns (hello big borne diseases), loss of habitat, etc.
I think A)
@friz Oh absolutely. A is hard, but B is existential.
They’re not the same ball game, and we need to open our eyes to that fact.
We built society, we made the laws, we control the incentives of our economy.
Nature? Nature doesn’t give a fuck, it will end us if we screw it up.
