GI 410 b may receive 20.4 times more than Earth’s insolation

A rogue hole looks even more dangerous than a rogue wave.

One is a passenger train, another is a freight train carrying hazardous materials. The risks are VERY different.

Also, if you’re looking for something to blame for the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, look at lax regulations:

Following the derailment, reaction and commentary focused on industry working conditions and safety concerns, including: the lack of modern brake safety regulations,[3] the implementation of precision scheduled railroading (PSR),[4] reduced railway workers per train, and increased train lengths and weight.

Thanks for the information.

The app is distributed in a third party repo, not the main F-Droid repo, so before installating I’m trying to check if it’s open-source, had some independent review, and is safe to install.

The source is available but the license isn’t recognised as OSS according to the OSI website. https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay https://opensource.org/licenses

This may explain why it’s not in the main F-Droid repo. It’s better than closed source anyway.

Sustainability is not typically part of a bank’s vocabulary.

But there are terms a bank can understand : systemic risk for the economy, the prospect of fossil fuel investments becoming stranded assets, negative effect on public relation and how it can be a competitive disadvantage if a bank do not attract customers who value human life.

Yes, banks should worry about all these risks. Climate change is a large systematic risk so it make sense to worry about it as well.

Meanwhile, megabanks like Wells Fargo are backsliding on their previous climate pledges and exiting from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a United Nations-backed group that encouraged members to slash their emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.

Multiple US banks and entities are backtracking their goals of lowering emissions, wich is the main solution to limit the risks of climate change.

They’re setting themselves up, and us collectively, for higher risks of flood, drought, sea rise, …

This is a good reason to ban hard to recycle, non-dissolvable plastics.

Requiring a custom installation image!?

Tjis means Microsoft is pushing less tech-savy users to download unofficial images, by removing a basic widely used feature from its official images.

What could possibly go wrong?

They met their goal: a ban on new licenses for oil and gas.

Yay!

Is there any better source on this?

Daily Star UK is a questionable source. MSN publishes articles from many bad sources such as this one, so when I stumble upon a link to MSN, I typically search for a better second source.

Monero has a disproportionally large energy usage and footprint on the environment. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-018-0152-7

Please consider less wasteful alternatives. Every bit help, it’s about keeping earth safe for human life.

Good point. That person’s solidarity with a colleague is remarkable and probably worth sharing, but it’s not a meme.

Carbon capture doesn’t really help meet climate goal. Burning less and less fossil fuels does.

DM aren’t end-to-end encrypted, so they aren’t a good way to send private messages.

I’m using a different instances, but I’d rather admin just turn them off for the time being.

Antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women already is a safe and effective way to avoid HIV transmission to the baby. It’s part of standard treatment guidelines https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1701216324003748

So the guy has genetically engineered babies as a potentially risky and certainlycontroversial solution for a problem that already has a safe and non-controversia solution.

Was there any doubt that compost is useful for farming?

This report explains F-35 have no remote control nor kill switch, but depend on US companies for maintenance and parts.

Even if an F-35 operator disconnected from the larger Joint Strike Fighter program’s supply chains can keep some number of its jets flying for a period of time through spares on hand and cannibalization, those aircraft would have extremely degraded capabilities.

China’s economy is providing equipment and materials to Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. I guess one’s war is another one’s prosperity.

EU regulation banned some pigments in 2022 due to risk of cancer. https://www.theblackhattattoo.com/blog/eu-tattoo-ink-ban-what-is-reach-and-how-does-it-impact-tattoo-artists

It’d be interesting to know if the increase risk in this new study appear with recently banned pigments, or if more pigments carry a risk.
