Ocean temperatures are off the charts right now, and scientists are alarmed. So many species harmed, more energy in the weather system, and more glacial melting. I’m worried that everyone is underestimating the pace of sea level rise. 😱 https://apple.news/ArTsirfhPSMqmHFhSche-TA
@atomicpoet @selea there's another aspect in that very few instances will defederate with mastodon.social. That's not true for most other instances. I've almost given up on my alternate instances a couple of times because I have to use several to interact with everyone.

"Microsoft Edge sends a request to bingapis .com with the full URL of nearly every page you navigate to"
Microsoft secretly tracks people across myriads of websites/apps via pixel. Now it was caught tracking them directly in the browser, by default. Wild.

@timbray AWS and Retail combination isn't as concerning as the advertising and Retail combination.
Amazon's customer obsession gets really muddled when there are two distinct customer bases that are in conflict, so serving one will hurt the other.
"I do not want your stupid app
I will not use this siloed crap.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not want this mobile spam!"

@justinto there is no such thing as "profitable" public transit, AFAIK. The article also says no such thing. There are hard choices to make as to which areas to service and how frequently. It looks as though they're attempting to maximize resources by eliminating an under used route to better service well used routes. People can be upset about that, but it's a difficult job to make the best of a limited amount of money

NPR quits Twitter: This feels like a milestone in the quick moving disaster of Musk's Twitter. Also, well written article.

“Simulations suggest that the extensive Copenhagen bicycle lane network has caused the number of bicycle trips and the bicycle kilometers traveled to increase by 60% and 90%, respectively, compared with a counterfactual without the bicycle lane network.
This translates into an annual benefit of €0.4M per km of bicycle lane owing to changes in generalized travel cost, health, and accidents.”
-> Those bikelanes have a payback time of a few years!

If you're using WireGuard from F-Droid, please export your tunnels and re-install to switch to the developer's signature and continue receiving updates.
More details in the official WireGuard announcement: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2023-April/008045.html

This 3d-printed bike is absolutely bonkers, but I think the core takeaway from this video is that everyone should have somebody in their life who says their name the way Ollie Bridgewood says "aero".
The kids want to have #Minecraft accounts, but Microsoft has made the process so painful and time consuming to setup accounts for children, that after burning way too much time and not getting to a successful ending I gave up. Offline play only for now.
And also looking into #minetest to avoid the whole thing.
They really know how to kill enthusiasm for a thing.

We're looking for help to build a wireless, solar-powered chat network across the Philly area! Are you interested in learning about off-grid solar power? Do you have a sunny place on your roof, in your yard, or near an upstairs window where you can leave a small radio transceiver? This workshop may be for you!
Each participant will receive a free kit with all the parts needed to build a solar-powered LoRa radio node. You'll assemble the kit, mount it in a weatherproof enclosure (provided by you), and use the Meshtastic app to start sending encrypted text messages.
Registration opens Monday, April 3rd at 8:30 p.m. You can sign up on our site:
https://iffybooks.net/event/solar-chat-network
Supplies for this workshop are provided by a grant from the Engaged Humanities Studio at Swarthmore College. Many thanks to @pixouls for helping plan the event!
