Amazing! The Scientists fired by DOGE relaunched now as https://www.climate.us.
Being fired by a fascistic government made them stronger than they were. Now they are 100% independent. Of course Trump and his whole regime will try to discredit them. But it’s too late I guess. More and more people are waking up. So this is another nail in the coffin of the Trump regime.

here's the original one! Honestly it was made in a rush back then so I always had my gripes with it, its the redraw number 145 i've done, with the remake being number 195!! And yeah it didn't have the "Goose Value" thing originally, though you may have been able to tell from the different writing style on it
I'm glad to see that my silly redraws keep on being shared to this day, and thank you to everyone who tagged me for credits on the reposts of it, it's very much appreciated!!

Mastodon FeedUSA revolving around several trillion-dollar companies, and EU having hardly any, is supposed to imply economic superiority, but to me it sounds "if you're so good at growing, why don't you have more tumours?"

One of the problems with the current AI mania is that products now eagerly claim to use “AI” whenever they can. But you have no way to tell whether this means it incorporates a few benign heuristics that might make it work a bit better or that it’s programmed to quietly learn as much as it can about you so that when the time comes, it can more efficiently harvest your organs.

@cczona Three suggestions from AU:
1. Make a Coolgardie Safe: if humidity is low but temps are high; soak a bedsheet, make a tent, and use a fan to generate airflow. Depending on humidity and airflow, can be good for 3-9 C of temperature drop.
2. Supercool your extremities. Feet in a bucket of ice/cold water, iced water cloth on the back of your neck.
3. Hydrate. Goes without saying, but still.

These photos of this goldcrest also show the impact of processing. Two have more heavy-handed processing. Two have more "naturalistic" processing, mostly exposure and saturation. None of these are strictly speaking more "correct" they just have different connotations #bird #birds #iceland #nature

I'm going to sleep. If anyone is wondering why the #inkscape website is down, it's because it's being crushed by AI bots again, so I've taken it offline.
I tried to put in more ip-blocks, and then tried to install Anubis. But I'm not a sysadmin and so this is just taking time to do. Can't do much of it tonight (this morning) so I'm afraid it's staying offline.
