Does delivery time play into you chosing to order a product?
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.
Mozilla latest move make it hard to say "use Firefox as it is not developed by an ad company"
The argument that Google money doesn't influence Firefox development, but the means, is no longer relevant.
Congratulation to Mozilla for choosing a strategy that alienate the last bit of demographic that support them.
(this post is bilingual and contain realistic coarse language. If you can't handle it, too bad)
Fuck the language police. ACAB.
(yes includes the OQLF, they can go fuck themselves).

J'emmerde la police de la langue. TFSB (Tous les Flics Sont des Batards)
(oui Γ§a inclus OQLF, ils peuvent aller se faire enculer)
big loss for the airlines -- the SCC just rejected their argument that Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations conflict with the Montreal Convention
Wie macht ihr deutlich, wenn ihr Sprachmodelle fΓΌr Aufgaben nutzt, wie z.B. Antworten per E-Mail, SocialMedia, Programmierung oder Γ€hnliches?
@driusan Yup. It's Franco Fascism. Legault is a Fascist. And not even just about language. That permeates in everything.
As a person whose mother tongue is French (from France) I feel deeply offended with what's happening.
#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. π tuta.com/de/blog/best-whatsappβ¦
What's your take? Should we drop Telegram completely? π€
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.
AtkinsRΓ©alis has a strong team, sure, but WSP beat them on the Turcot Project.

Apparently the crooks that are airlines have argued at the supreme court of Canada that the passenger bills of right that Canadian believe is toothless is too much for them....
Wonder why flying is so terrible? Look no further.
Good news everyone, the Supreme Court of Canada spanked them.
Now maybe we should add teeth to the whole thing to make it worth it.

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)

βΌοΈ Tusky will stop supporting #Android 7 in 2025. We still don't know the fix date, but will tell you in advanced.
β What does it mean for Android 7 users?
β‘οΈ It means that users with Android 7 installed will still be able to use the #Tusky version they have installed when this happens, but they are not going to ble able to update it to newer versions if they don't update the operating system or change smartphone/tablet.
They are not going to be able to update it on Play and Fdroid?
"Android Nougat (codenamed Android N during development) is the seventh major version and 14th original version of the Android operating system. First released as an alpha test version on March 9, 2016, it was officially released on August 22, 2016, with Nexus devices being the first to receive the update."
