This socket is genius. I would like more vendors use this in their devices for easily replaceable flash chips.

The clamshell soic-8 socket open revealing the chip inside.
The BIOS chip can be easily replaced by hand

Not a lot of saving graces for "British Cool" but we do have some of the best designed power sockets in the world.

In which I connect Charles Babbage & his 19th c. blueprints for digital computation to industrial labor control & the creation of a regime of denigrated, disciplined "free" labor.

All of which has its roots in plantation slavery. 1/

I knew fast fashion was awful.

I didn't realise the scale of the problem.

"Today, three-fifths of all clothing ends up in landfills or incinerators within a year of production—a statistic that translates into a truckload of used clothing dumped or burned every second."

republic.red

Small 4 member "free speech" instance. Owner is an anti-vaxer conspiracist.

Instance states its for conservatives who are marginalized online for their views.

"Republic is an English speaking, conservative friendly Mastodon instance created for people who believe they are marginalized online for their political views."

"Republic.Red is intended to be a place where conservative ideas can be expressed, discussed and debated without being censored. Some people want to characterize any conservative idea as being hateful which isn't true and only prevents open discourse of ideas. At Republic we believe that open discussion and discourse leads to the best outcomes, instead of silencing one particular viewpoint."

Other 3 members are a bot that posts all of Ron DeSantis's tweets,

a News alias that the instance owner uses to post news articles from?

and a bot that posts a daily bible quote.

Server Rules of course have had the part against Hate Speech / racism / homophobia / transphobia / ableism / / casteism removed from the copy paste starter kit.

The scale of tayga logging in #Russia Irkutsk oblast'. This process has been going for years, but apart from Russian environmental activists few people even know about it.

Before, the wood — perfectly healthy whole trees — were largely exported to EU where, thanks to the legal classification of "biomass" as zero-emission fuel they were, again, legally reducing CO2 emissions from coal power plants. Now it goes mostly to China.

As significant part of this logging is illegal even by Russian law, the forest that has not been logged is often set on fire to cover up and pretend it was all lost in an accidental forest fire, thus multiplying the harm to environment and climate.

The idea of biomass burning was based on sound scientific observation that when you grow say wheat, it takes CO2 from the air that is then bound in the straws, so when you later burn it, it has a zero net CO2 balance. This was then turned into a requirement for a minimum percentage of biomass in power plant fuel mix, which, together with the EU ETS emissions certificates, created a huge demand for #biomass.

Since EU actual waste biomass (straws, wood chips etc) was able to satisfy only a fraction of this demand, the industry did what it had to do: started importing it. But lifetime of straws is one year, while this forest has been growing for hundreds of years, which is how science was turned into absurd.

This is how just one Polish power plant ended up importing 7000 tons per year of forest from Komi Republic (Russia) over distance of thousands of kilometers, or German power plants importing coconut shells from Pacific area and planting forest in Africa to be cut and then transported on ships to be burned in Germany...

A helicopter goes over vast forest area with massive lanes, hundreds of meters wide, cut in it, with huge piles of logged wood. The lanes go for kilometers.

It is 2023 and I want a pair of dangly earrings containing FIDO keys in one ear and a tiny computer in the other, bone conduction headphones hidden in my hair so the computer can talk to me, and a BTLE ring I can tap on the table to send morse code commands to the computer.

@thegibson Mildly devil's advocate reminder here... how they use data that we willfully surrender is usually specified in the #EULA which, admittedly, few users actually read. Peeps imagine the apps/sites they use are "free" and indispensable but the price is right there in the EULA. As it is and always will be under capitalism... caveat emptor...

@Space6host @thegibson it's not that people don't understand this premise it's just that its gotten way out of hand.
