#ScientistRebellion has published an open letter on the implausibility of maintaining average global temperatures below 1.5°C of warming given our current trajectories (heading for more than +3°C).

signon.scientistrebellion.com/

If this letter gathers more than 500 signatories from the scientific community, it will be "placed by Scientist Rebellion in a journal or mainstream news outlet ahead of COP27."

Help raise awareness about the gravity of the situation.

@Snoro cool, if you go to Western Australia the electricity consumption shows very little solar or wind. This is true for grid connected projects, but the majority of renewables is roof top PV. You can see the missing energy in the last 24 hours graph. The day time energy drops with the sun.

@alcinnz yeah, a bunch of tools/frameworks from the years gone by are now in JS, HTML, and CSS. I try not to use features released in the past 4 years. It'll be great if Safari updates outside the OS.

@alcinnz web dev spirals around but each twist gets a little higher. There's a lot of hype so VC companies can be flipped. But the core change is to make websites more maintainable and easier for the developers. The same can be said for any language, how much has it changed over the last 50 years? What can Rust do that cannot be done in Fortran? With web dev, we cannot change JS/HTML for another language only transpile or apply a framework
p.s. at work I use React and do not like it

@blockadeaustralia can you please put alt text on your images. It makes it easier to share.

Apple is now going to be selling your data through a rebooted Apple Ads 😔

Don't just scroll on by...

Read about these shitsacks first.

These people would see me and my friends dead.

@glimpse@mastodon.art:

For those of you still following us, we would like to express our solidarity with #dropkiwifarms.

In 2019 they disrupted the #glimpse Matrix channel, then they targeted individual contributors, some of whom are still hiding and/or have threads on them today.

Outside of our own project, Kiwi Farms has driven their political enemies from their homes, off the Internet, and in some cases to suicide. We will all be safer when that website is finally gone.

@HiRezCanDo not exactly what your looking for but maybe farm.bot/pages/software could do some of what you want.

@Elizafox then you create an 'other' to make your enemy and say to the exploited 'you are better then those people, don't be like them'

@spla@soc.catala.digital @aral @gitea @codeberg@mastodon.technology if Gitea is not good enough for their developers to pull away from GitHub ... yet. Do they expect anyone to move away from GitHub to Gitea?
I would love Gitea to succeed and like the idea for Federation, but they are not leading people.

@aral @gitea @codeberg@mastodon.technology Gitea must be bad if the developers are not even using it, so why should I?

Just had a look at and they don't even use Gitea! They use GitHub!! The screenshot on their homepage looks like GitHub with the icon switched. What's the point?

The cost of cars is very high and our governments pump billions of dollars making people buy and maintain these expensive machines.

First Nations Greens senator Lidia Thorpe calls Queen Elizabeth II “coloniser” during oath of allegiance.

What a legend.

@alcinnz yes! I had to create a modal for work and trying to make it keyboard accessible and not destroy everything on the site is near impossible.

@KatLH@scholar.social if you give me a block I'll go running from the front line to the nearest toilet 🤪
