The best part of WWDC is finding and meeting talented new developers with great ideas and enthusiasm to match.

And catching up with developers I’ve discovered in the past who are now seeing all kinds of success in their field 🤩

Classy. I will wave hello from 4000 km away.

Make data centres, AI, and bitcoin, build their own NEW renewables or lose their license to do business.

Not "contract with a already built source" build it new, or dont do business.

This ignores the fact that this was an older reactor design in a location that should never have had a reactor in the e place

@kevinrns @LaChasseuse

You’re saying all reactors are bad, based on specific example.

I suspect that getting out of our climate mess will take many more options. Not fewer.

@kevinrns @LaChasseuse

A thought experiment? A car from the same time period as the reactor was built, is involved in more accidents. Are all cars automatically bad?

I think we would agree that the only standard that matters is the current on.

@kevinrns @LaChasseuse

My point is that you write off nuclear reactors based on a single case.

The path to zero emissions requires many tools. Reducing the number available makes the job much harder.

Consider using various browsers for different purposes, EFF’s Daly Barnett told the @WSJ. “Choosing a different browser based on the level of privacy one needs for a specific activity will do wonders for the overall risk their digital footprint carries.” https://www.wsj.com/tech/cybersecurity/internet-browsing-privacy-99ee0be8

Out of my league. Good luck

@cynical13 Curiously the more extensions you have the bigger your browser fingerprint so less privacy @Parienve @eff @WSJ

Thanks I guess I'm lucky. There is nothing in Canada (yet) were accessing it would cause legal problems.

I want privacy from Databrokers not the State Governor of Texas.

@Parienve yes and I’m Canadian male over 50. The likelihood of me visiting anything abortion related is 0.

Anyone here on SpiderOak One? Is yours still down? (Mine isn't backing up)
They seem to be having trouble with the migration to their new datacentre.

@thirstybear

Backblaze?

mlevison, 11 days ago

@thirstybear They cost $$, but the service works well and I never need think about it.

Also apparently their vanilla storage - i.e. rent space just like Amazon S2 is cheaper than most (all) others.

Walking thru my 'hood, I see a new #coffeeShop emerging. Still step ladders and paint buckets but should be close.

A long-standing #Bridgehead coffee shop closed across the street as that little local chain got bought out by a big corp. They seem to be shrinking as per big corporate modus operandi.

Hope this new one is decent. Wish it were indie, but that name sounds franchisey.

Thanks does that mean Bridgehead Golden is gone?

mlevison, 14 days ago

@ottaross darn

Much better atmosphere than McRae which has no light.

Long bike ride on Sunday. Will want coffee. Apparently my options aren’t what I expected.

Thanks
