SO2 actually (very temporarily) cools things down by seeding clouds and creating sulfuric acid aerosols. That's not, like, /good/, but by making more clouds (and also decreasing the size of droplets in clouds, and thus increasing their number) more sunlight is reflected to space.

UK gov 2013: Offshore wind? That'll cost <sucks teeth> £150/MWh in 2025

UK gov 2016: OK, maybe only, ooh, £115/MWh in 2025?

UK gov 2020: Er, um, yeah it's pretty cheap…call it £62/MWh in 2025?

UK gov today: Did you see HOW CHEAP offshore wind is?!? Yeah, ikr? £44/MWh in 2025

@Chozo I wonder if this bodes well for Kbin/Lemmy? Arguably their model is more about content than social relationships.

@Athena5898 did that include Asia /China? I can't watch video on slow connection

@admiralteal whether we can switch that to lab grown remains to be seen.

@Athena5898 there isn't a single globally applicable answer. It depends.

@mystphyre AFAIK this is a known issue that the developers have been looking at in the last few days. Hope to have a fix soon

@xuxebiko AFAIK the paler lines are the most recent, so assuming that pale line to the right is 2022 it would support that.

I'm curious why this recent trend isn't visible in Google Trends? I watched the November exodus unfold in real time there. This time not a glimmer of activity

@Redhotkurt it sounds like maybe you should create it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@poVoq yes this sounds sensible. I think the key is the user themselves having more control over their identity.

At least 110 people have been injured after tennis ball-sized hail rained down on a region of northern Italy overnight Wednesday.

 
 

At the moment the server owner effectively 'owns' magazines & communities. Is that the right balance of power? What happens when servers go offline, or server admins go rogue?

In a world where both users and magazines had public and private keys and magazine moderators had the tools to do off-site backups.

Could the magazine moderator then do an unassisted migration to a new place?

They revoke the key that gives the original server the right to host the magazine. They use the key to re-create it on a new server.

Somehow notify all the members the magazine of the new location. The users use their public keys to reclaim their identities and content.

Would that give mods too much power?

It all gets complicated fairly quickly! I think the Bluesky AT protocol is somewhat close to this model for user content, but doesn't really extend to 'community' scale content.

It falls short of a full confederal protocol

I stuck a service on https://kbin.world that redirects you based on a IP lookup for your country. In descending order it tries to;

  • If there is a kbin instance for your country it redirects you there (Just Poland for now!)

  • If you have a feddit instance for your country it redirects you to the most appropriate magazine on that instance, within kbin.social eg Germany

  • If you have a large national community on another Lemmy instance it redirects you there, again within kbin.social (eg Brasil)

For the ones I haven't got around to it redirects you to kbin.social homepage

It could be broken down to regions too. As more national or regional kbin instances emerge I'll replace the existing feddit/other sites.

I did a bit of testing with Pingdom and it seems to work

In the process I noticed that New Zealand and Japan feddit instances won't load for some reason. Any idea why?

 

The International Maritime Organization has set a net-zero goal "by or around 2050". What is needed to reach this?

 

However, when reddit crapped the bed, by comparison, the threadiverse basically didn’t have an established culture. There was a handful of lemmy instances (we were one of them), but the only one of notable size was lemmy.ml. kbin didn’t even exist in any meaningful way until a couple of months before reddit died.

So, when reddit died, there was no established culture. Instead, people brought reddit culture with them, and reddit culture, because of lax admins, was much more tolerant of hate speech than microfedi. And so, people who are “reddit people” more than “fediverse people” set up lemmy and kbin instances, and brought those reddit norms with them.

So then, you get instances like blahaj and beehaw that are threadiverse instances, but have the “old school” microfedi approach to bigotry. We smash it down hard at the first hint of seeing it, but most of the instances we federate with don’t attack it so aggressively.

 

I didn't write it, but it seems good
