I thought there was some kind of commentary in code with some keywords like "superseded by" or similar ones, so you could count them.
Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Hoy iba a hacer un chiste algo gilipollas con el tema de que por una vez es aquí en Galicia donde no llueve, hasta que me di cuenta de lo serio que es el asunto. Ánimo a quien le haya tocado cerca. Un abrazo.
Y aunque por aquí seguramente no haya mucho de eso, la emergencia climática se hace cada vez más evidente y su negación más absurda. Lo que nos queda por venir...

What is "Amoc" and why is it so important?
_________________________________________
The dangers of a collapse of the main Atlantic Ocean circulation, known as Amoc, have been “greatly underestimated” and would have devastating and irreversible impacts, according to an open letter released by 44 experts from 15 countries.
There are indications that Amoc has been slowing down for the last 60 or 70 years due to global heating. The most ominous sign is the cold blob over the northern Atlantic. The region is the only place in the world that has cooled in the past 20 years or so, while everywhere else on the planet has warmed – a sign of reduced heat transport into that region, exactly what climate computer models have predicted in response to Amoc slowing as a result of greenhouse gas emissions.
Another indicator is a reduction in the salt content of seawater. In the cold blob region, salinity is at its lowest level since measurements began 120 years ago. This is probably linked to Amoc slowing down and bringing less salty water and heat from the subtropics.
It is an amplifying feedback: as Amoc gets weaker, the oceans gets less salty, and as the oceans gets less salty, then Amoc gets weaker. At a certain point this becomes a vicious cycle which continues by itself until Amoc has died, even if we stop pushing the system with further emissions.
The big unknown here – the billion-dollar question – is how far away this tipping point is. It is very difficult to answer because the process is non-linear and would be triggered by subtle differences in salinity, which in turn depend on amounts of rainfall and cloud cover over the ocean as well as Greenland melting rates. These are hard to model accurately in computers so there is a big uncertainty relating to when the tipping point will be reached.

People on the EN #Wikipedia keep editing the ill-fated communist leader Musso's name to be "Munawar Musso" or "Musso Munawar". (It's currently the latter.)
In any old newspapers from the 1920s-50s he was only ever Musso. The oldest appearance I can find online of "Munawar Musso" is from the World Marxist Review in English in the 1970s. In recent English and Indonesian books (2010s-2020s) he seems to be now referred to regularly as Munawar Musso.🤔

Today is the 50th anniversary of women gaining the right to have mortgages, business loans and credit cards in their own names.
I am 47 years old. My mom did not have access to her own credit card without her husband or father's approval. People like to think that this stuff happened in the ancient past. It didn't. People you know were directly affected by anti-women systemic oppression.
Hey fediverse, I'd like to become more active in something that is more meaningful than building webshops. Since I'm quite good with #computers I'm looking for stuff that combines #computing with #sustainability or #ecology, #restoration etc.
But I don't know what's out there and am not sure what exactly to look for, so I'm hoping for some fediverse magic.
Anything you have, articles, projects, etc. Would be cool if you boosted for reach.

Me: "The mouse jiggler I bought keeps my mouse continuously active, and sending all those packets takes power, and the battery runs down. You do know how batteries work, right?"

If you're a subscriber to the NLS BARD service and have an interest in learning more about the #Catholic Mass, the following book was recently released in audio format.
The lamb's supper: the mass as heaven on Earth
DB124296
Hahn, Scott. Reading time: 4 hours, 32 minutes.
Read by Scott Hahn.
Religion
"Bestselling author Scott Hahn sheds new light on the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals . Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." The Lamb's Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before."--Amazon.com Unrated. Commercial audiobook.
I’m thrilled to see this book being made available on BARD.
It’s a great book. It will really deepen your appreciation for the Mass.

in reply to Havu • • •@banaanihillo best for our case:
1. reach - almost everyone has a GitHub account and know how to work with it
2. CI performance. We do almost 200 CI jobs per commit. No other hosting sponsors us with that.
3. support. I get excellent support and have good communication with GitHub for whenever that is needed
Havu
in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •1. reach could be even better if you had, say, a self hosted git forge and a codeberg mirror too, and encouraged email patches too, instead of being locked into one proprietary unethical provider - i mean, if *almost* everyone has a microsoft github account, surely **everyone** has an email account, right?
2. forgejo actions seem a pretty valid alternative to that these days, but unfortunately i don't know enough of the details to suggest if it would be considered *better*, *equal*, what have you - if it's about money, yes, completely understandable! if it's about performance, the point could be moot?
3. double edged sword, i guess. you get the corporate support, sure, but imagine the community support you'd be getting instead, if you were committed to fighting the corporate status quo instead
daniel:// stenberg://
in reply to Havu • • •@banaanihillo it seems you don't know the kids of today: they don't want to use email. Doing "email too" at the same level as over git forge is a high price to pay for the three users who prefer that. Plus self-hosting is a huge cost/timesink.
The CI performance is not a small thing. The sponsored jobs we run are worth thousands of USD/month.
Havu
in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •yeah no don't get me wrong, i don't like email patches either, but i would still prefer it over the alternative of having to use microsoft's github ecosystem exclusively
thank you for the discussion anyway, i really liked hearing your thoughts!
