Carbon dioxide needs to be captured were there is a lot of carbon dioxide in the air. So especially around cities with lots of car traffic, or around fossil fuel power plants…
So… It would be better to stop car traffic and fossil fuel power plants first, before doing carbon capture. And the purpose of that should be, making the air cleaner. And putting that carbon back into a less environmental damaging state.
It really depends on the purpose. Sometimes you can hide stuff in unexpected places when there isn’t much interest for other people to find it, or if they don’t even know about it’s existence.
Also sometimes it is good enough to just delay the discovery of something for a while, because its value after a certain time diminished completely.
So, I would argue that sometimes security by obscurity can be useful. But I agree that it generally shouldn’t replace proper encryption.
IDK, OSM is much more detailed and up to date.
More like disassociation. They just don’t connect killing animals to eating meat. So they don’t feel a cognitive dissonance.
Like… People living comfortable in captialistic countries/societies, don’t think they personally kill all victims of capitalism. They just don’t connect these things. They disassociate their life and living standards from the ‘others’.
Testing SPECIAL with games seems boring. They should do a multi layered social deduction game instead, where everyone has different goals, lies to another and nobody really understands what is going on until the end.
So some contestants are actors, and think they know where the show is going, but they are tricked as well.
No, it isn’t part of the EU.
It is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, which isn’t in the EU. Only Denmark, a country within the Kingdom is in the EU.
However, the citizen of Greenland are citizen of Denmark, thus EU citizen.
But you are right that Greenland has a closer relationship with the EU, then Ukraine. And the EU and allies want to protect its citizens at least. And via its member state Denmark, the constituents of Kingdom of Denmark as well.
Edit: To be honest, I have no clue what happens to citizen of Greenland, if US would take over… Would they be EU and US citizen? Would they have to leave? Well… Let’s hope that doesn’t get answered anytime.
So like syncthing but you have to pay for it and requires a server. Seems useless…
If you want to sync while not all devices are online, just spend 50$ or something and get a RPI and put syncthing on it.
Yes he is pathetic and he is a bully.
And too many people think bullies that just take what they want are ‘strong’.
Recently deepwiki links started popping up in my search results, when I wanted to research some software. They offered so much genenerated ‘documentation’ that it caused so much confusion and irritation to me, I installed an extension just to block this site from my search results.
Why do I ever need to read the ‘architecture’ or whatever from an ancient no longer maintained project. The deepwiki page didn’t mention that it isn’t maintained, but the readme.md in the repo states it clearly at the very top with big letters…
Any suggestion for a browser plugin that blocks AIslop pages from search results? I think we really need some kind of ad block for this, but differently. A well maintained list of pages containing AI slop and then filtering out those pages from search results instead. So that the internet becomes/remains usable and mostly unpoisend by this stuff.
AIslop should never outrank human created content.
I am not someone that cries about the end times much, but… If this issues isn’t addressed effectively and the internet becomes filled with aislop that outrank and thus hide human content… it becomes useless… We might really have to look for a new one…
The internet is for connecting humans through their machines. If it starts to exist without requiring humans, then it can be its own thing and humans have to find something else then.

Tons of people in STEM fields dreamt about it for years.
Not a native English speaker but “dreamt” is past tense, so they stopped dreaming, implying they stopped because now we have “AI”.
Prediction and pattern recognition is not general AI. This is just what LLMs and image generators do. They find plausible continuations starting from a noise to better fit the disired outcome. They don’t have real contextual knowledge about a domain. To them everything is just numbers that can be manipulated until they fit better. They don’t just instantly know the correct or incorrect answer because of a deeper understanding on the matter.
Well… We still don’t have AI. We got language and picture generators…
That really depends on your definition of ‘left-wing’.
Because I would argue that ‘left-wing’ is not only a descriptor for a political agenda. It also that includes economic issues. To me an economic system is pretty important part of a political system.
For instance, I would say that ‘free market communism’ doesn’t exist. I would also say that ‘authoritarian communism’ doesn’t exist. To me authoritarian and socialistic ideas are not compatible, because power is in the hands of an elite, and control mechanisms of that power were never strong enough. Control mechanisms of democracies worked generally better, but democracies also need to be properly defended and maintained.
There are two versions of the bangle.js watch. The second version looks pretty similar to the pinetime.
I used to use the pinetime for a while and now have the bangle.js 2 watch.
Pinetime is cheaper in DE than the bangle.js (40€ vs 90€ IIRC).
Both are nice watches and integrate well with gadgetbridge and have a couple of weeks battery. Which is much more then what you get from a Android watch.
Basically, I couldn’t claim capitalism is perfect, but whether replacing the system or not, you need to address the greedy human culture beneath it.
Chicken, egg.
System changes leads to cultural change leads to system change.
You cannot just change the culture, but you can change the system.
No. There are no perfect systems. Every system will require constant vigilance and adaption to work. The point is that the goal of disincentivizing greedy behavior is actually clearly stated and done.
I really don’t think it’s just “economic culture” as you’ve described.
I didn’t say it is just economic culture that is the issue here…
I really don’t think people are accurate about the feeling that “Obtaining and hoarding valuable things” is an act borne out of the laws of our current society.
Also true, but what is? Is your point that it is human nature? I would disagree there, humans have the capacity of acting against greed and selfishness. Question is why they are so often acting greedy and selfish then?
My answer would be two options with both apply to some degree, and there might be more:
Other ideas?
Well, it shouldn’t be carbon neutral… It should used to get carbon out of the atmosphere and into a less damaging substance.
Carbon capture does not replace getting rid of our dependency on burning fossil fuels.
We wouldn’t get back the same amount that we are burning anyway. So this approach is worse, because dumb people think it would save us, without us changing the way we produce energy.
It is worse, because it is a distraction from actually doing something.
