Today, I learned about a very interesting project put together by Data For Good and éclaircies: https://www.carbonbombs.org

It explains the concept of #carbonBombs and provides transparent data and visualization about the world's biggest #fossil fuel extraction projects, and their links with #companies and #banks !

It comes with maps, graphs and figures that highlight the 425 fossil fuel projects around the world that will generate more than 1 gigatonne of CO₂ emissions during their lifetime.

Two fossil imprints of the shells of Trigonia dug up today near the top of a hill in #Bath #Somerset #UK. These molluscs lived in the Jurassic Period at a time when even the hills in Bath were under water. The rock is (I think) Inferior Oolite.

There are a lot of Ice Age bison fossils @westernsciencecenter, and each one tells us something about the life of an individual bison. What can we say about a fragment of a jaw?

The spiralled shape of a Goniatite fossil emerging from this shore tumbled concretion. The outline of its internal flotation chambers and their divisions clearly visible. They swam in large numbers in the waters that covered this area over 300 million years ago.

“Though it's got a surprisingly modern look, this teapot was made in the 18th-century in Staffordshire—the heart of Britain's pottery industry. The area’s limestone yielded prehistoric fossils, and potters often turned them into whimsical motifs for teapots.”

What are paleontologists talking about when we say things like “gomps”and “zygs”?

Found a nice pebble on shore. Fossilized sea urchin maybe? Anyone on here with knowledge to help out? North Sea coast.

Hmm. Is there something that syncs plaintext files between devices, and handles file conflicts better than syncthing? (Which just creates a copy of the conflicting file.)

I guess if there was a satisfying answer, we wouldn't need Git, right? :/

@brolf@chaos.social avatar

@blinry does nextcloud + collabora count?
Otherwise, if you want to stick to the scm vibe I'd recomment you looking into
It may be a better fit for your usecase than git.
