@npub1rl2…takn The spacex/boeing commercial pressures are of course exceptionally unsuited to safe development, and historical (space race era) safety also sucked, again because there were adverse incentives, but I don't know that CMS has some unique edge.

The analysis also found Tory ads focus heavily on negative messaging, with many ads attacking Labour rather than promoting Tory policies.
Since 22 May, the Conservatives have run 1,686 ads on Meta - which owns Facebook and Instagram - with only seven (0.4%) mentioning Tory policies, according to Who Targets Me.

That's not to apologise for or submit that climate change is just something unstoppable, I'm just thinking that the Wilderness Romanticism the eco-doomers lean on probably hasn't existed as an effective lever to pull since maybe John Muir.
The political economics are far more utilitarian now, so maybe we should adapt to more modern climate evangelism.

2024-06-14 13:06:56

The silver lining to global warming is that we're not actually going to destroy the world.
We're 200 years into a genuinely tragic mass extinction event of our own making and we'll be just one victim.
But we've had a bunch of mass extinction events and the planet will soldier on quite happily without us, with wonderful new species coming to inhabit whatever our corpses watch over.

in this case it's Gleam, which is cool and I enjoyed hearing about at fosdem, but also the author decided that this was an appropriate illustration, amongst other crimes of style.
I can only imagine that actually some point in the recent past they had a catastrophic herniating stroke, which is the only excuse for the tone and style here.

I really don't get the NixOS/Anduril thing. Lots of complaints about arms dealers, and I'm not a fan of Thiel, don't get me wrong.
My understanding is that NixOS is free software, so Anduril aren't prohibited from using it, right?
If they are using it, why wouldn't you accept their contributions back upstream if they are useful?
Wouldn't we me more mad if they were using it and keeping all the changes to themselves?
