Oxfam International released in October that looked at 50 of the richest people in the world and their carbon footprint. In it, they found that these people release more carbon through private jets, yachts and investments in a year than the average person does in their entire life.
Fuck them.

I don’t want to be forever young, but I’d love to feel like I’m in my 20s until I’m 100.
If property values in high-risk areas start declining I wonder if there would ever be class action suits against the government or specific bad actors.
The argument was that before we drilled holes into them, those stone formations had held similarly sized pockets of natural gas for eons, so just refilling them with CO2 would be fine. It sounds not completely stupid on first thought.
On second thought it sounds completely stupid tho.
I love how all of the characters are scowling and have their game faces on… and then there’s Kirby, who’s like “Hi there! I’m gonna eat you and extract your power!”
One of those liminal spaces. Love it.
It would be ideal If the big activitypub platform stacks like mastodon, Lemmy, etc could agree on some standard like a federated OIDC or DID approach for all authx/authn functions. then fediverse users could get cross-platform and even cross-instance logins “for free”
Of the changes made last week to the license, this one stands out:
- None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.
That is a weird carve-out, so I’d guess the license revision (and technically the reason it’s no longer open source) somehow has to do with Atlassian or their plugin marketplace?
Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.
As others have said, changing UPS batteries is required maintenance, and I agree 18-24 months is the typical service life for even high-end UPSs. However, you may want to look into LiFePO4 based UPSs, which can handle many more charge-discharge cycles and often have 5-year warranties. More expensive and potentially not as recyclable as lead acid batteries, but maybe appropriate for your use case.
Yeah I wish they’d just transcribe their youtube videos and make blog-style posts with some of the screenshots. I’m almost never going to watch a 20-minute video, it’s not like they’d be losing a viewer.
Good suggestion! Though sometimes they’re a little too technical for me.
With AnandTech gone and TomsHardware aside, what’s another great “deep cuts” tech news and reviews site?
Stay strong, brother.
My favorite Elon Musk conspiracy theory is that he’s planning to intentionally blow up the starlink satellites once he’s on his way to mars to Kessler syndrome earth for a few years so he can set up his kingdom there.
That can happen if you’re using cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8) in my experience.
This is a good, short read. For those who are unfamiliar with the AGPL license that the author proposes we all start using, the main difference (and I am not a lawyer) is that under the AGPL, the source code including any modifications must also be made available to all users interacting with the software over a network. This prevents companies from making proprietary versions of AGPL software that are only accessible as a web service, which is one of the big ways that corporations are able to profit from GPL source code contributions these days.
When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.
Just wanted to drop a note and say I binged this and then Murder in the Tool Library in 2 days. What a nice little universe you’ve built! I had never even heard of smashwords before your mention, but I’ve made a couple of other purchases in the last few days and will certainly use it to try and build a big enough library to distract me for the next 4 or 5 years :)
Out of curiosity, do you have any recommendations for other solarpunk or similarly utopian indie fiction?
