Really goes for almost everything. I don't want my machines and appliances to be 'smart' and 'connected'. I just want them to do the thing I use them for, that's it.

Use any messaging app and choose to make it default. Make core messaging functionality interoperable. They lay out concrete examples like file transfer.

I've read some things like this. Is it correct that messaging services will need to interoperate? WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage? Would love to be able to message people that I can't easily reach now from Signal for instance.

Good, long overdue.

Is there anything on the accompanying Digital Markets Act and it's effects? I can't seem to find any comprehensive recent articles.

If he isn't bought and paid for by the fossil fuel lobbies, then he admits to being a complete idiot.

Read up on the history of... any emancipatory movement, really. Civil disobedience, strikes, direct action, have all involved some forms of violence (be it so-called vandalism, or direct confrontation between groups). Many in reaction to violence by the state or corporations (Battle of Blair Mountain!). Thinking we will achieve far-reaching goals without resorting to some sort of radical actions is ludicrous.

Coincidentally, I had a conversation about dating and climate change with a friend today. We both agreed that people showing off their exotic travel destinations have become a turn-off. Especially when they use airplane emoji's in their bio. On the other side: it does feel like some sort 'race' to show off those fancy place to communicate how well off you are, and not having pics like that may make you less attractive (but then again, why would I want to attract those huge polluters?). Dating gets you in a weird headspace, fucking hell.

Self-regulation fails. Can we solve it with more self-regulation?

 

“The UN climate talks have become an oil and gas industry trade show, not the flagship for climate action. An entire industry has successfully co-opted the process and is leading us in a death spiral to climate catastrophe. How far are we prepared to go to make sure that doesn’t happen?”

Since when does The Guardian have a paywall?

Played Dredge on the Steam Deck, which was a nice, relaxing experience.

Besides that I've been playing Blood: Fresh Supply on my beefy gaming pc. Great fun, much glee when blowing up hordes of cultists.

When we're at 'vaporization' I guess

I think The Guardian has committed a few years ago to call it the 'climate crisis' (they also have a dedicated category page with the title). But yeah, language matters. I tend to use climate catastrophe.
