China installs more solar in 1 month than the total energy the US uses

China installed its highest solar power capacity for a single month in May.

back-of-the-envelope calculations, 71 GW is more power than the entire US uses (on average). This is why our electricity is, on average, 2.5-3 times more expensive. This will lead to advantages in AI, production, etc. Cheap energy = cheap everything else.

China Smashes Solar Installation Record

China set a global record by installing 93 GW of solar capacity in May, surpassing any other country's full-year total, though growth is expected to slow due to new regulatory changes.

American public approval used to surge after something like this to show either some real or fake patriotic support, then ebb when reality (and US deaths) roll in.

That Trump has this level of disapproval now is a bad sign for him and a great one for sanity, because regardless of how you feel about the countries involved, he possesses no sanity or demonstrated ability to handle a complex situation.

Warning for Trump as Surprise Poll Offers Harsh Verdict on Iran Strike

Are you surprised Trump moved so quickly to try to force a ceasefire? Read this striking new survey data, and you won’t be. Americans don’t trust him to wage a long war.

Considering how GNOME Color Manager's support for calibrating scanners (and printers?) has been broken for many years, and how it seems like the remaining code might get ripped out entirely from GNOME Control Center as a result, I have filed a new #GNOME app idea, in the wild hope that someone might find this interesting enough to create a standalone utility app for creating ICC color profiles for your photo scanners and printers: gitlab.gnome.org/bertob/app-id…

#ColorManagement #Linux #photography


Color management: a printers and flatbed scanner calibration tool to generate ICC colour profiles (for accurate scanning & printing) (#293) · Issues · Tobias Bernard / App Ideas · GitLab

I searched far and wide for standalone calibration tools and they are either nonexistent or extremely hard to use (and typically commandline stuff requiring obscure arcane knowledge). Even...

@hub Hmm I don't think I mentioned display calibration in this app idea ticket, but I sure do wonder on a regular basis how DisplayCAL will fit in the new Wayland color management system, and about its general state of development/maintenance. I haven't kept a close watch on it in recent times, as I presume there's a lot of dust up in the air until the new Wayland color management middleware fully lands?

A few weeks ago, @joshbressers managed to hook me up to his mic. And then couldn't manage to stop me.

He still managed to get an amazing podcast episode about what it is to be a hobbyist maintainer, why it matters to talk about it and how failing to understand this is why nearly all policies around FOSS fail to move the needle.

You can listen to it and then come tell me what you think

@bagder I mean I think a huge part of the problem is that we focus on funding.

We should probably focus on understanding the things that could make it more sustainable and efficient to maintain this stuff on a hobbyist schedule.

Like. Can we stop talking about Rust memory safety and instead talk of the tooling Rust provide and how ergonomic it is.

That funding could go invest in tool for other ecosystem to reproduce that success...

Purism- CNN Report

In a recent CNN report, skepticism surrounds the Trump Organization’s claim that its new “T1” smartphone is “Made in the USA.” Experts, including Todd Weaver, CEO of Purism, challenged the claim, citing striking similarities between the T1 and a low-cost Chinese phone, the Revvl 7 Pro 5G, made by Wingtech, a Chinese manufacturer.

Weaver emphasized the logistical and technical difficulty of building a phone in the U.S.

“Substack Did Not See That Coming • Buttondown”

newsletter.anamariecox.com/arc…

This neatly highlights my issue with pretty much all of the current crop of Software-as-a-Service platforms. Almost all of them are in a hole with no plan for getting out of it. When a "cloud" SaaS goes, you're sunk as an end user, and most of them are sinking


Substack Did Not See That Coming

Let’s set Substack’s “Nazi problem” aside for a moment. What if the bigger issue is being stranded on a collapsing platform... with a bunch of Nazis?...

Situaci plne rozumim. Taky jsem gorilu nikdy nevidel.

Doufam, ze tato neprijemna zivotni situace nebude mit negativni vliv na vyvoj ditete a ze se mu to nevymsti u statni maturity. Petici za zahajeni jednani o zapujceni goril do sudetske zoo muzete podepsat u vchodu vedle lednicky s pegasy.

Medida troglodita e trauliteira. Como é que alguém com um mestrado ou um doutoramento que queira trabalhar na União Europeia vai vir para Portugal depois desta medida quando quase todos os restantes países da UE impõem prazos menores e oferecem melhores condições de vida? Sinceramente, o governo deste país não quer transformar Portugal numa nação competitiva...

É só patetas neste governo? Não há sociólogos, nem economistas, nem antropólogos, nem especialistas em demografia que os possam ajudar a cometer menos disparates?

Governo quer aumentar para até dez anos prazo para cidadania

Cidadãos de países da CPLP terão de estar há sete anos em Portugal para pedir a nacionalidade, enquanto os restantes precisarão de dez anos de residência. É ainda introduzido exame à língua e cultura.
