"The data broker industry is the wild west of unregulated surveillance...a vast, interconnected, opaque industry with hundreds of companies people have never heard of" making billions per year selling your personal data, EFF’s Lena Cohen told @theregister. theregister.com/2024/10/09/nat…

Rincewind reshared this.

my favorite part is there's now an industry to combat this. Capitalism creates the problem, capitalism sells us a "solution".

Such a fucked up way to live.

Renewables are on track to meet almost half of the world’s electricity needs by 2030, according to the latest landmark report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

While solar power in particular is growing at a promising pace, the trajectory still falls short of the global target to triple renewable energy capacity this decade. #ClimateChange

Due to a confluence of shit going on in my personal life and shit going on in the world right now, I am feeling particularly #hopeless about the future right now.
So much so that I'm kind of paralyzed and unable to do anything productive... which just makes me feel worse, because there's all this stuff I really need to do that I can't.
What's the point? Everything's burning down and it seems like the best we can do isn't nearly enough.
Easier to just give up and do nothing.
Ugh.

Apologies, especially in the second sentence I can see where it sounded prescriptive rather than declarative, which is an editing artifact rather than the intent (redraft a lot to fit character limits.)

I see it often dubbed a typically neurodivergent mode of expressing sympathy to say “I’m dealing with that too by XYZ, sometimes it works out” - whether that demo association is correct, it’s a communication of intended fellowship. Hope it gets better, dull as that sounds.




I should not be turned on by this, and yet my overactive imagination says yes, yes i am :mfwcunny:

As they say, "different strokes", in your case probably literal.




Seeing some of the chatter about Starship lately, and piggybacking off of @treyhunner 's recent foray, I decided to update my coding environment as well.

I hardly understood anything when I got started, but I'm pretty happy with the results. Thanks @webology as well as @kattni for pressuring Trey 😅
