Middle aged person. Work in IT. Unixy. 25 years on command line. Emacs. Feel somehow stranded every now and then although recently less so.
I always use pseudonym profiles where I can. I've never been logged in Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, ... because I object. In front of network effects I stubbornly keep my one-node-network out of it. I do have a profile in LinkedIn. Quite lame actually.
I'm very sad to hear Mozilla is shutting down Pocket. I've been a user since since before it was called Pocket.
I guess it's now time to start looking for alternatives. I'm happy to get recommendations!
My main needs:
- Browser extension for Firefox to save articles
- Reader for iOS and Android that syncs articles offline
- No AI bullshit
- Save/reader functionality needs to be the main focus for the product and not an afterthought or cash grab.
MIKSI. đź "Ihmiset ovat poliisin mukaan toistuvissa tilanteissa lĂ€hestyneet ruokailevia karhuja alle 20 metrin pÀÀhĂ€n tai lĂ€hemmĂ€s."
Sovitaanko niin, ettei syytetÀ sitten karhua siitÀ, jos se syö tÀllaisen pölön?
Probably time to bring up the reconstruction of atmospheric COâ levels for the past 65 million years (before 1950). Of note is that the Greenland ice sheets didn't form until the COâ levels dropped below 350 ppm. This implies that Greenland will completely melt until we get levels back down (we are currently above 420 ppm and rising). Similarly, the Antarctic ice sheet formed when COâ levels dropped below 450 ppm, which we will hit before 2035 if we do not make significant changes in our emissions.
If all of Greenland melted, it would raise sea levels by about 20 feet (6 m). However, this takes a lot of time, and at the current melt rate we should expect 10 inches (26 cm) by the year 2100. This may not seem like much, but with worsening tropical storms the added water will increase inland devastation.

MitÀ jutussa sanotaan:
"Tulkkauskustannukset ovat murunen hyvinvointialueiden kaikista menoista. Esimerkiksi Varsinais-Suomen koko toiminnan kustannukset vuodelta 2024 olivat 2 589 miljoonaa, josta 3,8 miljoonan tulkkaus- ja kÀÀnnösmenot ovat reilu tuhannesosa."
MitÀ otsikossa sanotaan:
"Tulkkeihin uppoaa miljoonia euroja veronmaksajien rahaa - valtio maksaa, vaikka Suomessa olisi asuttu vuosikausia"

Most thought out takes on #eu #digitalsovereignty I have found so far are (naturally) coming from Bert Hubert đ

In the earlier post âBut how to get to that European cloud?â I alluded to a coherent strategy that might get us to such a non-US cloud. In the present article I hope to clarify what this could mean, and why I think it could work. Here I focus especially on what should happen concretely, and who should do it. Note that this page is compatible/congruent with the latest EuroStack document.
Taler marches on! Dream of "Anonymous micropayments in my browser/mobile in our lifetimes" is very much alive đ
Tuntuu todella hullunkuriselta, ettei juurikaan kÀydÀ keskustelua Microsoftin tekemÀstÀ blokkauksesta ICC:n Karim Khania kohtaan. Onneksi sentÀÀn Alankomaissa on asiaan herÀtty. Vaan koko euroopan pitÀisi herÀtÀ tÀhÀn ja alkaa toden teolla töihin tÀmÀn teknoriippuvuuden tasapainottamisessa.

Microsoftâs recent decision to block access to the email account of International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan is raising urgent questions in the Netherlands about the countryâs deep reliance on American technology companies, de Volkskrant reports. The move followed U.S.
