I had low expectations for COP28—oil emirate?—but to hear petrostates (that's US) crow about the statement to "move away" from fossil fuels as "historic" & not the utter minimum... well, that's fucking revealing.

Business as Usual will fight to the death.

Our death.

We aren't doomed, but we're in deep trouble. The only way out is together.

1—vote green

2—organize

3—change a high carbon usage to low carbon TODAY

4—keep going

Any action gets you started & we don't have any time to lose.

In this edited version, numerous icons of applications that are using electron / chrome Webbrowser have been placed in the landscape for squidward to observe in his disbelief that everything is chrome in the future. In the end, a new flower, overlayed by the old Edge icon, sprouts out of the chrome ground, moments before a truck hastily arrives to spray the flower with chromium spray that turns the edge icon into the chromium based edge icon.

Welcome to 12 Days of Web Components!

A series of interactive blog posts that will introduce and explore the world of #WebComponents

It will cover the basics of web components, more complex and real-world examples, and discussions of the wider ecosystem/their future.

Post number one kicks off a multi-day introduction to web components. This will lay the groundwork for some more fun and exploratory posts later on.

Today we're building a tiny winter wonderland ☃️

The just-released #Firefox 120 for #Android opens up to add-ons. There are already 50 of them available and the number should grow quickly as more add-ons get verified.
I've installed #Ghostery to get rid of cookie pop-ups. What a relief.
If you are not using Firefox on Android, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's been my daily driver for years and it's gotten really good and no other relevant mobile #browser has such a wide variety of add-ons available AFAIK.

In meiner Babybat-Zeit entdeckte ich das Forum von Natron und Soda. Ein Näh- und DIY-Forum für die Schwarze Szene und Artverwandten. 💚 (Heute nicht mehr von den beiden Gründerinnen betrieben, lebt es als das Nähkromanten-Forum weiter.)

Auf der alten Seite gab es viele tolle Anleitungen und Tipps um sich selbst gruftige Klamotten zaubern zu können ohne viel Geld ausgeben zu müssen. Alle paar Jahre zieht es mich deshalb zur Wayback Machine um mir ein paar Sachen anzusehen.
https://web.archive.org/web/20121022162235/http://natronundsoda.net:80/klamotten/index.html

Vielleicht ist das stöbern darin für manche ganz interessant und vielleicht auch inspirierend. :)
Schön sind auch immer die kleinen Zeichnungen von einer der Betreiberinnen. (Leider vergessen welche der Beiden diese erstellte.) :blobcatheart:

Ich möchte jedenfalls demnächst wieder die Nähmaschine auspacken und mich an ein zwei einfachen Teilen probieren, wie z.B. dem Pink Cross Kleid mit Reflektor-Details. :batsquish:

My 11-year-old daughter thought it was hilarious that someone had bothered to make a reaction video to my talk, and she insisted on watching it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iBkpPtN-Ek

She (correctly!) observed that the rebuttal was missing my argument ("he's not doing a very good job listening!"). But more interesting was that she really took issue with his obsession with IQ ("he doesn't understand that people are smart in different ways"). Finally, she turned it off: "He's boring."

The kids are alright.

@isagalaev Irony here is that there was a time when rail was the corporate bogeyman and monopolistic bully blocking innovation and alternatives (including both road and air).

And before that: canals.

Capitalist power seeks to entrench itself.

Oh, and the whole canard about capitalism being a wealth generating engine is ... highly misleading. Capitalism generates profits, that is privatised gains and socialised or externalised costs. Wealth in its true form is common weal and accrues to all.

That bit of solipsistic misdirection and equivocation bothers me increasingly over time, and I've got to call bullshit on it.

Capitalism is far less a wealth generating machine than a profit concentrating one. Which is to say, an engine of inequality.

Why are TVs so inexpensive these days? Because the TV companies make billions by recording what you watch and sell that data to advertisers. “These TVs can capture and identify 7,200 images per hour”. This article tells you how to turn it off:
