We want a wake-up light replacement: these things that start increasing light brightness before the alarm. Would be good if it doesn't sound like a tin can.
(The previous tin can died today after ~6 years of service 🪦🫡)
I do not want an app that can get obsolete and brick the device. I don't want to bring the phone to my bed. No subscription. Preferably real buttons instead of touch.
Anyone having something like this? Can't find honest non-affiliates 😭
Ce dimanche à Rome, des centaines de fascistes se sont rassemblés et on réalisé des saluts nazis, en mémoire de deux militants d'extrême droite tués le 7 janvier 1978. Depuis, le nombre de fascistes présents semble augmenter d'année en année.
Pire, était présent hier Fabio Rampelli, député du parti Frères d'Italie, et proche de Giorgia Meloni.
Le fascisme n'est pas aux portes du pouvoir en Europe. Il y est déjà !
Sirenen und schrillende Handys beim bundesweiten Warntag
Auch in diesem Jahr haben die Behörden einen bundesweiten Probealarm ausgelöst. Gegen 11 Uhr ertönten Sirenen, Smartphones klingelten. Wie viele Menschen die Warnung tatsächlich erreicht hat, wird nun im Anschluss per Online-Umfrage abgefragt.
"Last year, subsidies for oil, coal, and natural gas reached a record high of $7 trillion, according to a report out Thursday from the International Monetary Fund, which works out to $13 million every minute. That’s nearly double what the world spends on education and equal to roughly 7 percent of global economic output."
The true cost of climate pollution? 44% of corporate profits.
24 billion trees, not million. 600 dead on their floors, and beds. Pakistan was the victim of one climate storm, a year ago, its still recovering. Hawaii is burning.
These are ALARMS that we have been re-assured to the brink.
It is LOUD. This is a LOUD ALARM.
Cities evacuating tens of thousands, the ROOTS of the forest are dried out from global warming,the roots.
"We didn't believe it at first," international fire fighters say.
Seriously, does your smoke #alarm ever start beeping because of a low battery at any time other than the middle of the night?
This happened to us about 6-7 weeks ago. It's supposed to last ten years. It's eight years now. THERE IS NO WAY TO SHUT IT OFF! CAN'T OPEN IT UP! It was 3 AM. After half-an-hour of trying, I took it down to the basement and buried it in a box behind the fire door. The manual (which I read at 3 AM, yes, indeed) said the beeping would last about a month.
⏰ You probably already knew that in the 19th century, knocker-uppers were hired to wake up workers in towns and cities in Britain. But did you know there were knocker-uppers to wake up the knocker-uppers? #clock#alarm#time#horology#history#podcast#TimeKeeping#work
Wenn du denkst, es geht nicht mehr, kommt von irgendwo ein Trottel her.
Da beschwert sich echt jemand über „zu viele Radwege“ auf dem Spielteppich und wittert Indoktrinierung.
Switching my alarm to play a favourite track from Spotify has been such a positive experience. It helps me start the day in a good place! #Alarm#Positivity
Why do I do what I do on Mastodon? Why do I post so often about the climate emergency, our environmental crises, and the rapacious, murderous impact of greedy capitalists?
Is it because I believe I can help to stimulate large-scale change that will alter the direction we’re going? No, not really, although of course that would be nice. Except I know my reach here is minuscule compared to that of Twitter “influencers,” or the corporate media, or the Hollywood dream factory. I doubt I can do anything to change the course of history.
So, why do I do what I do? Is it because I like scaring people? Do I enjoy being seen as a doom-monger? Well, not exactly. It’s no fun being called an alarmist. However, I believe an alarm MUST be raised if people are to comprehend just how dangerous our situation truly is and how vital their upcoming actions might be.
And that’s the real reason I do what I do. Not to scare you or make you depressed (though that’s an understandable and normal reaction), but to encourage everyone to take action.
Learn about and accept the reality of what’s ahead of us as the climate continues breaking down and society unravels. Think about what adequate preparation could mean for you and your loved ones. Reach out to others you can assist, or who can assist you.
Build a community. Make things better whenever and wherever you can. Because we are stronger together.
