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.

It has become a meme. But what are we doing to improve the situation? Let's find out with Andy from the crypto team.
big loss for the airlines -- the SCC just rejected their argument that Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations conflict with the Montreal Convention
#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.

Given the recent Telegram scandal, we've updated our review of WhatsApp alternatives. 👉 tuta.com/de/blog/best-whatsapp…
What's your take? Should we drop Telegram completely? 🤔
Which is your favorite replacement for WhatsApp?
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.
The WSP team is hopeful they'll be the winners.
AtkinsRéalis has a strong team, sure, but WSP beat them on the Turcot Project.

Canada is finally ready to build a high speed rail line

Brace for impact, a new Glossy Report is incoming.
@driusan yup 2hrs. I used to commute 230km.... was a 1 hour platform to platform.
also was 20 years ago.
Not in Canada.
That would make Ottawa 50min and Quebec 1h from Gare Centrale. And Toronto 2 in a direct connection. Ottawa Toronto could be 1.5 hr (it's 404 km by road, done it many time)

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.🎉

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.

"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"

Pech für alle, die BILD glaubten und sich eine neue Gasheizung aufschwatzen ließen: Laut Heizspiegel wird Heizen mit Wärmepumpen 2024 am günstigsten. Das wird wenige überraschen - außer die, die ihre Informationen von fossilen Propagandaschleudern beziehen.
With HIDIOCREVOKE we can now finally have a go at implementing a desktop portal for sandboxed apps to access hidraw devices without giving them blanket permissions to all device nodes

Russia is deliberately leaking chemical waste into the Desna River, wiping out wildlife. Typical.
"Not a single organism survived. This is unprecedented. It’s Europe’s first completely dead river."
