The matriarch of Perth Zoo passed away a few years ago. Now the Zoo is going to move the remaining 2 elephants to South Australia with other elephants from around Australia. They are going to join a herd and have a lot more space at the Safari Park. elephants.monartosafari.com.au

We have reached Earth Overshoot Day today, on 2 August 2023.

This is the day when we have used all of resources that the Earth can bear for the whole year. This means we would need 1.7 Earth planets to sustain our current resource use.

@jookia it's been many years but there are many solar powered Raspberry Pi projects. Create your setup with mains power and measure how much power you'll need and then find a project that'll give you the required energy.

I installed a 6.6kW solar system a few months ago and because there is so much solar in my state they are giving FREE electricity to families doing it tough. Nuclear's vision is here but with solar!
The energy companies don't need new capacity they just need to install batteries to shift the energy.

Plugging my phone into my 4K monitor works like a charm. I just need to connect a keyboard and mouse.
It would be great if I could get my laptop to work with USB-C.

@largess @justplanty @breadandcircuses @rosemarymosco @RhinosWorryMe we need to talk to our family, friends, and colleagues so they don't fall down the fascist fear and doom track, but they open their eyes to the problems and solutions of climate change.

@danirabbit @mbullington when I was firstly diagnosed people were like can you see this, can you see that. It doesn't disappear from my vision it just doesn't look as colourful. I think "correction" is good, because we use it for glasses, to correct people's vision.
So maybe "colour deficiency correction" and a description saying it'll assist you by adjusting the colours of your display.

"I have seen how the Palestinian people are at best second class citizens on their own ever-shrinking lands. Clearly, this is apartheid. We have denounced and defeated it before and we must again. Do not be brow-beaten into silent complicity by claims that supporting the near-defenseless Palestinian people is anti-semitic. The far-right government of Israel is doing this, not the Jewish people. Stand with the​​​​​​​ defenselessness, not the powerful." Mike said regarding this action. [2/n]
