Covid made me completely lose trust in society (they couldn't even follow basic measures), the government (completely unprepared, constantly lying to the people), the economy (suply line issues for years show that any safety or redundancy was optimized away), even family members (half of them anti-vaxxers now).

How are we going to manage the far larger crisis of a climate collapse? We won't.

Why not? Do you think US donations come with conditions?

"Claylien"

Exactly.

Sure, it's IT teams that don't want to support it. I'm lucky enough that our IT supports all major OSs and so we can more or less choose. Most tools certain jobs require however do dictate the OS. For SW development Linux is absolutely feasible.

The coming replaceable battery will be another big step towards repairability.

Just wait for the replacable battery in the iPhone 16. They'll sell it as an innovation.

He was Austrian.. but a little Goodwin law.

It's only effective if it's really rich kids. And we know it would be actually solved then.

If you really want to engage with people like this, one good survival tactic is to ask simple questions. "How do you know that?" "Why would they do that?" "How can you be certain?" "Isn't there a more plausible explanation?"

You might even catch them in logical fallacies or just clear contradictions. "But didn't you just say the opposite?" "Wouldn't it make more sense if ...?"

A lot of them believe things without questioning it, so your questions could even help them snap out of it. Of course they could also get tired of your questions and end the conversation.

Damn, anyone who plays their informant clearly has blood on their hands. Same with Kushner who told Saudi of the US loyal informants.

As usual they make the problem they complain about worse. Illegally arresting immigrants will for sure improve their seamless integration into their country and not cause them to join some radical groups. Not.

The abortion rights reversal thing was dacades of work to undermine the courts.

They are playing the long game to reverse civil rights. Yet we can't forget the progress that has been made while they planted their conservative judges in high positions and how very unpopular these court decisions are with the general public.

Indeed. First time I heard about it, it was clear: until you can remove the "allegedly" in front of Trump's crimes, it'll be very hard to prove.

Not really, because there are different "scopes" of emissions when declaring offsets:

Scope 1: emissions done directly during normal operations

Scope 2: emissions from the suppliers, transport and resourcing of raw materials etc.

Scope 3: indirect emissions caused by the use of the product and other effects the company is responsible for.

Obviously fossil fuel companies like Shell mostly have Scope 3 emissions. Barely any company that declares offsets even considers Scope 3 emissions though.

So all companies out there that even say they 100% offset, often just mean Scope 1 emissions. That's basically systemic green washing.

Also a lot of the offsets are nearly useless, so even if Scope 1 and 2 are offset you gotta subtract 90% ineffectiveness from the amount.

That was my thought too. In Tech we do the same because of total compensation. Stock (options), bonuses etc. have a yearly cadence.

Also some places have a 13th salary, so yearly makes sense there too.

Russia invaded Ukraine and the US didn't send troops. The largest economy, most powerful military, veto power in the UN has lots of tools available to pressure Saudi to get their shit together and be decent.. if they have an interest in doing so.

Ethopian refugees are probably not worth it for the US to call in a diplomatic favor from the Saudis.. or threaten some sanctions even.

And norwegian fishing huts

Can't his ideology be explained as right-wing and anti-establishment. That would explain most of zhe lyrics and why he's opposed the song is being used by the RNC. Only candidate with clear anti-establishment rhethoric is Trump. That's why he got so popular in the first place.

Forget technology. Even scientists' and engineers' wettest dreams don't consider technologies that capture even a tenth of the billions of tons of CO2 we release on a yearly basis.

If you look closely at the numbers it's hard to understand that we engineer ourselves out of this mess.

Solar, wind etc. is all nice. Nuclear fisson, cold and hot fusion, okay. We're far away of anything useful. Capital is just in the wrong hands.
