/me is listening to AnnenMayKantereit in the background while at work. Thanks to @npub16uk…pv7k for pointing them out. Good music, nice and groovy. I especially like the Koelsche accent/dialect in some of the songs coming through.

H₂ is a climate heating gas. And, due to its tiny molecule (extremely low molecular weight of 2), it 'slips through' and is hard to contain. Also in logistics of it, a lot of 'boil off' and leakages do happen. That's why it's nothing that should be pushed to an end-user, but only used (if economically and ecologically sensible) to controlled industry.

A (Microsoft initiated) study shows that back-to-back meetings create considerable stress to our brains. Make sure you get enough recovery time!

Seen that, too. REALLY glad RISC-V is open/free. Hopefully any silicon designs from SiFive will live on (even though RISC-V is open, the implementation in silicon can be/is proprietary).

Funny, I had also posted this content on LinkedIn:

It's created a whole sh*t storm of comments and discussions, and the LI analytics show that it's had a 'reach' of 15,000+ 'impressions'. Now the Head of Corporate Affairs at Kiwibank has checked out my LI profile.
Nice to see that this has in fact created some interest through making some waves.

Unfortunately for the semantic meaning of your toot, we're not in a 'democracy'. We're either in a 'democratically elected republic' or a 'representative democracy'.
WE don't make all the decisions, but WE ELECT those who do on our behalf.
