In April he teased that they might recognize Palestine in June. What’s the hold up? https://www.arabprogress.org/en/macron-and-the-recognition-of-a-palestinian-state-the-stated-position-and-its-prospects/

This is good.

It’s a shame that Europe did feel the need to compete with the US administration by gutting it’s auditing of sustainability https://www.esgtoday.com/eu-parliament-agrees-to-delay-sustainability-reporting-and-due-diligence-laws/

Yeah I had a similar thought to your first paragraph. I mostly use MBFC for the “factual reporting” rating, because it seems easier to be objective about.

Just to clarify, I don’t develop any fediverse software, I wouldn’t want to take any credit from those amazing people.

These comments have made me very curious if that exists or how that might be designed.

Ok well nothing is as impressive as yours. Averaging 15 posts a day for the last 19 months is a full time job.

Relative to your impressive comment and post count, it appears I was.

I guess I had missed it the first time

Thanks! The only odd thing I ran into is im not sure how to subscribe or un-subscribe from communities.

Yeah I really can’t get into mastodon, I completely agree.

I guess I was never into twitter

Voyager is still my daily driver. The swiping is great.

Oh I didn’t know that existed

Signal had SMS support and dropped it. I imagine any argument for Whatsapp interoperability would face a similar fate.

Red note just added a feature that lets you translate any comment to English (or presumably the local language of your phone number) . Online reviews and Airbnb have done this for a long time. It’s a simple yet amazing feature, one that will really remove barriers to appreciating different cultures. I would love to have it here so that everyone can speak their native tongue and others could appreciate it. I always want to know what the French and German communities are up to (those are the most common other languages I see).

And we will be earlier adopters than our children. Yeah that’s very cool of your mom… and Jimmy Carter :)

Very much agree that moving away from fossil fuels is most important. Given how long these large scale technologies take to develop, I’m glad that we are working on this tech now, even though these exact plants are not producing a net benefit.

And it’s thanks to earlier adopters, like your mom, that helped fund the technology that we have such great green energy tech today.

This article shows it pretty well : https://decarbonization.visualcapitalist.com/the-cheapest-sources-of-electricity-in-the-us/

The top graph shows that wind and solar are some of the cheapest electricity options available, even compared to fossil fuels.

On the bottom graphs shows that if wind and solar technology had stayed at 2009 levels (more than a decade ago to your point), they would be among the most expensive.

So thank your mom for me.

A decade ago people argued that solar and wind didn’t work.

The population is 67 million. I know there are probably people that go through multiple a week, but the average is 1 in 8 people are throwing out a vape every week. That’s crazy.
