To any Austrailians being misinforned by Sky News, please know that Europe is just fine.
The fact that Sky News has found some social media clips of a few criminals committing crimes in Spain and France does obviously not mean that a continent of 744 million people “has fallen”. All it means is, Australia needs better media.
The UK Environment Agency has some tips for the public to help conserve water, including

I kid you not.
@viticci @gruber other companies have basically given up on their “carbon negative by 2030” missions. Here’s how Microsoft is doing:

If Apple wants to offer ChatGPT level AI model for a billion users, they would probably need massive data centers that takes gigawatts of power, so they would also need to build gigawatts more wind or solar, if they want to stick to their 2030 plan:
Microsoft's pledge to go carbon neutral by 2030 has hit an AI-shaped snag, as the firm's hunger for cloud growth impacts emissions targets.
I received an email earlier this week from EA asking if I wanted to be added to a public acknowledgement page they were creating for individuals who responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities to them.
For all the shit people give EA, of the 100+ companies I contacted in the last two years, they were the only company I would say had a decent incident response.
They fixed the issue within 12 hours after validating it as critical, and proactively provided me multiple updates over time.
When the IR was done on their side, they reached out again with some more information about the potential impact if the issue hadn't been solved quickly, and also offered me a reward.
I did not have to keep chasing anyone for updates, I wasn't asked for non-disclosure, or offered money in exchange for it, and people replied instead of ignoring me.
I wasn't blamed for their mistake, either, or reported to the authorities.
Unfortunately, at least one or multiple of the things mentioned above are present in most of my other incidents reported; it's a real shit show out there.

Coal generation fell to a record low during June 2025, and experts say that the EU's power system is changing. The picture is very different in Canada, where solar is still a small share of total electricity generation.
