Sick and tired to be forced to see content from creators that I did't choose to follow, I switched to RSS as an aggregator and doom scrolling is suddenly interesting again.

"Attention Media" is the perfect definition of what those platforms are, the term "social network" is deceiving

Great books. One of the authors looks like now is a climate denier, so I wonder myself about the existance of technical approach detached from the scientific one

Great to see Bluesky getting some love from the devs, is such a nice platform 'till now. Looks like a meeting of all the best people after their escape from other poisoned platforms.

New comment by alphadelphi in "Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear"

alphadelphi — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 10:55:39 +0000

"[in Germany] in 2022, CO2 emission goals were exceeded by 40 million metric tons due to the increased use of coal-fired power plants resulting from the necessary cuts in natural gas consumption; estimates for 2023 assume 38 million metric tons.

The Emsland, Isar II and Neckarwestheim II nuclear power plants supplied a total of 32.7 billion kilowatt hours of low-emission electricity in 2022. German private households most recently consumed an average of 3190 kWh of electrical energy per year. This means that these three power plants can supply more than 10 million, or a quarter, of German households with electricity. The resulting reduction in the amount of electricity required from coal-fired power plants could save up to 30 million tons of CO2 per year."

alphadelphi — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 13:27:55 +0000

It seems more like a move to make things work in a more effective way rather than a move in order to subtle ignore your will. The former can be a side effect, not so terrible if there is transparency and the ability to opt-out the tracking. I should be able to defend my privacy with some switches in a sort of "Manage cookie preferences" page/banner way and to going nuts adding some special chars in my email address.
