Really enjoyed Ayana Elizabeth Johnson's interview on #Vox's The Grey Area

vox.com/future-perfect/384512/…

What if climate adaptation is beautiful? What if we act as if we love the future?

Definitely a worthy listen for this concerned about #ClimateChange & interested in #SolarPunk.


The climate crisis is a big problem. Marine biologist Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is dreaming of even bigger solutions.

The author of What If We Get It Right?: Visions of Climate Futures explores how we can tackle the worst effects of climate change, without resorting to nihilism.

Did not finish AOC today because I ran into this problem with #Rust : users.rust-lang.org/t/borrow-c… An explanation what's happening would be highly appreciated. Looks like I'm missing something fundamental!?

Borrow checker complaines only if lifetime is involved!?

I try to solve https://adventofcode.com/ using Rust to reactivate and improve my skills. Today I ran into an issue with the borrow checker which I did not understand.

Great discussion between Ryan Androsoff & Public Digital's Anna Hirschfeld & Alexandra MacEachern. I sadly missed #FWD50 this year, but it was great to hear about the work to bring the leadership behind #ARadicalHow to Canada.

@lisafast @RyanAndrosoff i don't know what the requirements actually were, but ArriveCan was ultimately a mobile app with local storage and some forms. So was the covid alert app, but it also needed to connect to two types of networks to detect and communicate. ArriveCan sure seems simpler.

ArriveCan chose not to build on an existing, tested, open siurce code base.

@lisafast @RyanAndrosoff no worries.

But ya, sometimes bureaucracy shoots itself in the foot from just starting in the wrong place.

But even the starting from an open source solution would have given them more flexibility.

If that kind of flexibility were actually needed, the developers could have spent their time developing for 3-4 different possible requirements , rather than rebuilding the wheel.

Please note that this is a different "Matrix," entirely unrelated to the the Matrix protocol.

Europol and the Dutch police have both issued statements clarifying. You can find more info in our own statement here: matrix.org/blog/2024/12/unrela…

Repeat offenders drive bulk of tech support scams via #Google #Ads

"Search engines, and Google’s in particular, are our gateway to the web. Yet, that door sometimes opens up to unsavory places thanks to sponsored search results, AKA ads."

This is part of the reason I recommend using an #adblocker (whether in browser, on device, or network-based.)
