@terminaltilt thank you. I thought I was a genius then found out it is quite a common thing.

Good luck with the lavender.

@terminaltilt It's so awesome, you pop a seed in some soil, add sun/heat and water, then wait. I have peppers, sun flowers, runner beans and creeping thyme on the go at the moment.

@jacobcoffin strange how a few days ago I had never heard of phytoremediation and this is now the third time I have heard of it.

1st: Green Rising by Wren James - Characters in the novel use it to clean up industrial sites
2nd: (S)oil - A project by Hilary Powell to use sunflowers at a decommissioned petrol station (I found this when looking at her Power Station documentary) https://hilarypowell.site/active-projects-1#/soil/
3rd: Your post in my #solarpunk feed.

Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

ACTIVE PROJECTS — HILARY POWELL

HILARY POWELL

Oil fuels war.

Breaking our dependence on fossil fuels is essential for peace, people and planet.

We need to be honest about Iran – and how our rampant greed for oil is causing mayhem

Oil has empowered capitalism, and some of the world’s most exploitative regimes. Move away from it and we can solve some of the key issues we face, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

@leamusi @Julian_1_2_3_4_5 I was an android user and fan for years, but moved to Apple. I know, not much better, but I think they did take privacy more seriously than Google. As my iPhone battery neared the end of its life, I switched to a @WeAreFairphone 6 running @murena e/os. Definitely recommend for anyone slightly techy, but e/os is probably not quite ready for your friends/family that are not good with tech.
@StelliformPress I cannot wait for this, I loved “A Holdout in the Northern California Designated Wildcraft Zone” and want more. https://grist.org/climate-fiction/imagine2200-a-holdout-in-the-northern-california-designated-wildcraft-zone/
A Holdout in the Northern California Designated Wildcraft Zone

From the Imagine 2200 climate fiction contest: An inquisitive drone responsible for protecting a forest ecosystem stumbles upon a surprise deep in the woods.

@snarklestiltzkin @Ruth_Mottram I looked at Proton due to the free plan, but realised I was going to need a paid plan due to my email storage. I then found Mailbox.org and went with them as similar cost but also green energy hosting. They also had a function that migrated all my emails for me.

@murena is there anyway for your maps app to trigger when another app tries to open Google Maps? Some of my delivery apps only work with Google Maps or Waze.

Donald Trump pardoned Andrew Paul Johnson for his role in the January 6 insurrection. Johnson then used his newly acquired freedom to sexually assault two 12-year-olds. Last week he was sentenced to life in prison as the latest of a long list of Trump insurrectionists who have used their freedom to commit new crimes.

@elena The whole push for Ai reminds me of this podcast about how cars were pushed on American cities, and look how that worked out.

Well worth a listen https://thewaroncars.org/2025/11/11/episode-161-the-creation-of-americas-car-culture/
