Carbon capture and storage will play absolutely no role in "the energy transition" as there's no evidence it can be scaled up in any meaningful way that even lowers emissions, and isn't creating energy either.

CCS is simply just a scam that's been designed by and for the fossil fuel industry so they can keep burning and profiting - and make you suffer for it.

From Ed Miliband on Twitter, with a video of a BBC Breakfast interview:"Carbon capture and storage will play a critical role in the energy transition, helping our industries to face the future. We are determined to make the UK a global leader in this new technology. For good jobs, energy security and climate action."

#AIagent promotes itself to #sysadmin , trashes #boot sequence

Fun experiment, but yeah, don't pipe an #LLM raw into /bin/bash

Buck #Shlegeris, CEO at #RedwoodResearch, a nonprofit that explores the risks posed by #AI , recently learned an amusing but hard lesson in automation when he asked his LLM-powered agent to open a secure connection from his laptop to his desktop machine.

certainly no telegram, if possible. but it became more than just messenger, unfortunately.

if it should be a channel, i guess matrix kinda works. maybe with Chinny client?

if (open) group chats, matrix as well. also signal, but the problem with signal is that it requires phone number (even if you can hide it).

if private messages, signal and matrix; simpleX seems nice, even though i didn't try it. threema is not free, so not everyone will be able to use it.

signal and matrix have their problems, but they're WAY better than telegram kremlingram.

don't know about wire and session much, can't really say anything about them.

Exciting update about the hackfest: We will now offer lunch for participants of the hackfest. 🍲

The lunch will cost about 8 Euros. A friend volunteered to cook for us with the deal that any extra funds would go to the local social bicycle association Efesta (efesta.net), which we both are part of.

The event will be so much bigger than I anticipated, already more than 15 people signed up.🎉

OUTDATED⚠️
Mozilla bought the Android email app K-9 (which didn’t include any trackers) and integrated trackers as part of #Mozilla‘s rebranding under the #Thunderbird name.

They even made it opt-out instead of opt-in. Their defense for breaking the law: ”we wouldn’t have enough data if we obeyed the law.“

It doesn’t matter whether you ”anonymized“ the data or not: If you want to extract data from someone’s device to yours, you may do so only if they knowingly consented.

The Thunderbird developers listened to their users and removed tracking entirely. Only the beta version of version 8 contained the telemetry. The final release no longer does, at least for now.

"Das Wort „krank” feiert gerade sein Comeback in der Alltagssprache, oder kommt es nur mir so vor? Ständig hört man jemanden „krank” sagen, um etwas stark zu betonen.

🗣 Das ist „krank” anstrengend gewesen.
🗣 Es war „krank” viel los.

Oder auch einfach nur:
🗣„Geisteskrank!”, um Erstaunen auszudrücken.
🗣 Das ist ja „krank”!

Hier ein paar Wörter, die du stattdessen sagen kannst:
💭 sehr, doll, stark, krass, heftig, mega, überraschend, unglaublich"

To our loyal customers, After 13 years we are making the difficult decision to sell SpeedDots. We are extending the offer to purchase to you, our community and customer base first, because we recognize that it is you who have helped us to last over the past decade and more. Without you supporting our products through referrals and purchasing, this company would not have lasted for this long, especially in such a niche market as the blind community. We have enjoyed creating a product that has benefited so many. Why are we selling? There are a few reasons: First, health. As most of you may know, we are a small company: a company of two to be exact. Both Doug and Amy have had significant challenges and changes in life circumstances which have made this necessary. Over the past year, Doug has been dealing with Long Covid. The result is that his health is such that he no longer has the physical energy to keep up with the demand of making and selling the tactile screen protectors and ensuring that orders are properly fulfilled and shipped out in a timely manner. In December of 2022, Amy was hired by the Blind Institute of Technology Sadly, this meant providing less help to Doug so much of the customer facing work was being sent his way along with making and shipping of products. This was a lot to juggle in addition to his health struggles. Next, changes in living situations for both have led to a problem with space. Read more via: speeddots.com/
