In future, I will only send this link to @switchingsoftware when people ask me again what is good for what on the PC. Unfortunately, many still say they are skeptical, but in reality they are too lazy to learn and teach themselves.

It boggles the mind that #Nauru isn't learning from past mistakes. Also, 10,000 people, who will barely profit from #DeepSeaMining, are buying the hype while #DeepGreen and #GerardBarron disrupts #DeepSeaLife, possibly permanently! Not good...
"#Australia, #NewZealand and #Britain had nearly exhausted the viable deposits of #phosphate by 1968 when Australia granted Nauru sovereignty, leaving behind one of the world’s worst #environmental #disasters."
#Corruption, incompetence and a musical: Nauru’s cursed history
The once-wealthy island now barely survives on income from Australia’s #detention regime and is pinning its economic hopes on #UnderseaMining

@t3kk Longtime users getting suspended and/or banned for even commenting on the Chinese funding at all.
Everyone needs to be aware and find an alternative
If you use imgur for anything that would be considered needing a content warning on here... and I know a lot of people use the site for storing hidden/private images to share on other places without their own image hosting services.
I stopped using the place a while back. Alleged Chinese investment & a drive to eradicate anything they deem inappropriate. Has led to a site that no longer suits anyone who isn't perfectly squeaky clean and family friendly.
The deep sea #mining industry stalks, while governments talk
by Maud Oyonarte & Sebastian Losada, 31 March 2023
"The world is waking up to the significance of the threat from deep sea mining, but governments have squandered a major opportunity to take action at the 28th Session of the International Seabed Authority (ISA). Even after two weeks of negotiation, they failed to reach an agreement to put a clear stop to deep sea mining.
"With no agreed plan to stop the deep sea mining industry from starting this year, the door is left open for the industry to mine the seabed. And that’s unacceptable!
"The past two weeks have seen Indigenous advocates reject deep sea mining, scientific warnings of the risks grow ever stronger, and the longest-standing and biggest corporate backer of the industry call it quits. Despite such clear messages, the negotiations at the Council of the ISA failed to yield concrete results, notably on the most pressing topic at hand: how to ensure that deep sea mining can not be authorized some time soon after July 2023."
