@npub1r25…ztfc Thank you! I've never bought books there before, but that seems obvious now.

Where can I buy a book like 'Team - Getting Things Done with Others' and read it on my kobo? #kobo #DRM #fuckamazon

@npub1vag…hyp2 Surely that must be 100% electricity, not total power? You have to account for fuel use which is actually something like 4/5 of total power use. Electricity is less power than fuel.

@npub1ynl…873s is an extraordinarily clear commentator on the #AI hype and why it is happening right now (not "AI", which is old, but the hype, and who is interested in giving us all the impression that we're at some kind of "pivotal moment" in history). She also tied AI to the massive computational growth connected to the advertisement-surveillance profit model.

What's a good and up-to-date book on the state of climate change prognosis? I can read scientific texts, but am not a climatologist. I'm looking for something like Mark Lynas' Six Degrees (from 2007) if there's something more recent. The dry, hard facts presented in a cohesive way. #climatology #climatechange #globalwarming #bookstodon

@npub1vud…460v I can see that's what I'm here for - confirming your ideas.

@npub1vud…460v I encounter this type of attitude on a regular basis and have a lot of compassion for it. It's a type of overwhelm combined with a proud ego and fear of having hope in spite of slim chances. I'm a hopeful pessimist. I know the chances for drawdown are getting smaller every year. And yet I choose to fight to repair as much as possible in my world. That's very different from the defeatism and hopelessness in much climate doom.

Is it possible to mute a hashtag? Let's say I want to follow the #ClimateEmergency, but am constantly distracted by the many people who say there's nothing to be done about it and post the very same graphs to convince me just adding that #ClimateDoom conclusion. Can I mute a hashtag? #feditips #mastodon #phanpy #phanpysocialdev

Embrace, extend and extinguish. That's was the strategy behind Google's adoption of the open protocol #XMPP, which eventually died from it. And it will be the strategy when Facebook attempts to extinguish the #fediverse via #threads unless https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish For at longer story and analysis, read here: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

@npub1u27…3qfq The way I think about: I can do better by learning when is the right time to repress and when is the right to encourage. These are wholly abstract terms and are not either good or bad on their own. What are repressing or encouraging - your feelings, someone that is in a more precarious situation than you or the sound of the radio in a shared living room?

@npub1l0s…pgrv @npub127k…md56 A Copenhagen local comedian once ran for office in the municipality on a platform that he would turn all those street gutters 90 degrees so bikes wouldn't get stuck in them. And amazingly, enough of the city's bikers voted for and he won a seat at the municipality. Now, it's been standard practice to have them turned correctly since.

@npub1qzc…yetl Can I ask you sincere question: Do you have any hope for reversing global warming, ie. drawdown, or are you by now singly focused on preparing and adapting for more climate chaos?

@npub1yln…e2vv I believe that's Hylotelephium now. Very nice late flowering on it.
