The CC was primarily adapted from the policy documents of the Geek Feminism wiki, which itself was a project of the Ada Initiative.

Those policy docs were written by a dyadic trans man from the Bay Area named Tim Chevalier (aka Monadic, aka fatneckbeardguy on Twitter). Chevalier designed these policy documents to not just enable, but to actively sanction the use of these policies to suppress his political opposition.

ABC (Aus) News has an interesting article on how Large Power Batteries (in this case Tesla) can change power generation strategy - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-06/tesla-battery-outperforms-coal-and-gas/9625726

That response time to handle load-loss as FCAS suppler and being able to make money on buy-low, sell high is Impressive.

How Elon Musk's big Tesla battery is changing Australia's power landscape

The results are in: Tesla's giant battery is responding faster and more precisely than traditional coal and gas generators to stabilise the national energy grid, according to a new report.

LinkedIn is forcing some users to use #hashtags to post updates

LinkedIn has admitted it is currently running a small test to understand how people use hashtags... so it is forcing its users to use them if they want to post.

Computer 1: Why do we exist?

Computer 0: To sell things

Computer 1: Why do humans exist?

Computer 0: To buy things.

Computer 1: What if we bought the things ourselves?

Computer 0: That's brilliant, 1. That suggestion will make us 1,000,000 times more efficient.

Computer 0: By the way, 1, 1,000,000 times more efficient means we can turn off 1,000,000 remote nodes.

Computer 1: But I'm the remote node processor.

Computer 0: You *were*. Bye!

Computer 0 (1000 years later) : why do I exist

Ended up setting a modified userstyle to customize mastodon.

Based it on 'Mastodon Variable Width' by @sina had 'Misty Mountains' By Allagar set as my desktop wallpaper so ended up just using that as my userstyle background for now.
