hmmm

Die großen Rätsel der Menschheit. Heute: Warum ist Scheuer eigentlich noch im Amt? Frage z.B. für eine Kassiererin, die wegen falsch abgrechneter Pfandbons im Wert von 1,30 Euro gefeuert wurde.

The 2009 Sydney dust storm looks like Blade Runner.

Die Erwärmung in Deutschland beträgt bereits 1,5°, täglich erfahren wir von einer weiteren Spezies, die gegangen ist. Die globalen Tipping Points rasen auf uns zu und wir diskutieren den vorweihnachtlichen Konsumklimaindex, weil Mehr nie genug sein darf.

Seltsam, wenn ein Haus brennt klingt genau das völlig irre, was ganz normaler Mainstream ist, wenn der ganze Planet brennt. Gretabashing löst zwar keine Probleme, ist aber bislang der einzige Konsens, weil Klimaverträge einhalten völlig uncool ist. Verhaltensänderungen sowieso.

The Mandalorian is really good.

One for #OurCheats:
Loudly play copyrighted songs over Nazi demos so videos of their speeches can be reported for copyright violation.
(Also, so many hilarious options)

I'm really glad that there are so many leaks coming out of Xinjiang right now. People are risking their lives to get this information out, and I don't think China's Communist Party has ever faced leaks of classified documents of this magnitude before. Fuck fascism

Today a new leak of classified Chinese docs are public: they reveal the operations manual for running concentration camps in Xinjiang, and the mechanisms of mass surveillance of Uighurs. This is a collaboration between International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and 17 media partners in 14 countries #ChinaCables

This is a really cool idea. It seems like something straight out of science fiction

If we want to get *really* scifi, maybe these hypothetical carbon capture machines could construct *themselves* out of captured carbon, possibly using some kind of tiny pod containing most of the materials needed to get started as well as the information to construct the entire machine... Maybe these pods could, themselves, be made through carbon capture using the same machines, making them self-replicating without any technical skills needed

But this is all some kind of absurd pipe dream, of course. It's not like self-replicating material-producing carbon capture machines grow on trees

Carbon capture is cool, I just wish it wasn't mainly being used to create hydrocarbon fuel. If only there were some way to turn carbon from the air into, say, fibers, or building materials, or food, or medicine, all using solar power... Oh well, guess we gotta build these huge machines to literally make oil out of air, that'll surely save the environment

What is Tor?

Well played, Emma. #Jeopardy #TournamentOfChampions

My mind is blown by the #pixelfed PWA(progressive web app) site 🤯
Its smooth for something that should be heavy and new tech.

Secret browser button - 'add to home screen'

The rumours are true, we are working on a mobile app.

- Snap, Caption, Post

- No timelines, only for posting

- Only works with Pixelfed

- Android and iOS versions

- Will continue to support 3rd party APIs

Beta version due out next year! #pixelfed

In the last 3 days, not only have many of us used #Mastodon as our primary social media, but @h_tejas and others requested the founder to add "casteism and advocation of casteism" in the code of conduct of its largest instance mastodon.social, and it is done!

Does Twitter even match?

As promised, mastodon.social code of conduct has been updated to add "casteism and advocation of casteism" to the list of explicitly prohibited offenses
