This year is an extreme (!) year. Actually it was predicted due to El Nino.
It is true that in long term view the temperature is rising, but that does not mean 1 year extreme should be so alarming.
To my knowledge before ice ages the temperatures also did rise.
Also the rise of temperature is not fatal for the planet, but probably for (human) live it is.
Humans can slowdown the rise of the temperature by adjusting their behavior.
Hasn't Earth warmed and cooled naturally throughout history?

Trade-free explanation
Trade-free explanation
Trade-free, as the name suggests, refers to a unique form of exchange where neither party is obligated to give or receive anything in return. The trade-free principle applies to all sorts of exchanges, including goods, services, information, and even relationships. This type of exchange is based on the principle of voluntary contribution and complete freedom in decision-making.
It is different from gifting because in gifting, there might still be implicit expectations of reciprocity or a social obligation. Thus, even gifting is not truly trade-free as there may be an expectation of reciprocation, whereas trade-free transactions have no strings attached at all.
For example, open-source software is a good example of trade-free offering because they are free to use and modify by anyone without any strings attached. The developers do not expect any return from the users, making it a trade-free offering.

This means it’s time to take sun protection seriously.
However, we need to be mindful.
Many sunscreens contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other harmful ingredients for our health and the ocean's well-being.
It’s time we embrace mineral filters.
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are safe for you and the #ocean. They're non-allergenic and start working as soon as you apply them.
This summer, make a splash while keeping our oceans healthy!

I mean warning is better then not warning, however just banning those substances (or highly regulating them) would be an even better approach right?
Why is this not the case yet?
If so, ending that is maybe a better idea than making every EU resident have to check every time they buy sunscreen?
If not, well done! Thanks for the information for those travelling outside of the EU. ❤️

Hey, I host a lemmy instance focused on books and reading (and all the communities that fall under that umbrella)
Some policy stuff as to how it operates, for sake of transparency.
Although I am currently the "only admin" I do have a "break glass" admin account and will be giving it to a trusted point person just in case (life happens sometimes...) as well as scaling up the team as need be.
If the instance ever has to go down, at the very least a 30 day notice will be given in advance as well as an outlined explanation as to why and a good faith effort will be made to keep it up as well.
The de-federation policy might be slightly controversial, and I completely understand. It is currently temporarily defederated from lemmys pornographic instances, mainly because of just how much it spams c/all. I will refederate in time when there more granular federation options, but I just can't reasonably moderate that right now. I also do defederate from the "worst of the worst" fediverse instances (ie, known CP hosts, far right, nazis, etc) as a precaution despite how janky cross federation is for lemmy right now, hence why the instance blocklist is long.
The instance currently uses object storage, and I post monthly financial statements as to what the cost of the resources for it are.
I also use a community seeder bot that runs every 12 hours to diversify content in all. The local communities focus are mainly book related, but it federates with most other instances.
I also am currently taking manual secure database backups at least weekly and storing them remotely, but I will be automating that process as soon as I can. I value security greatly.

Filtered word: nsfw
Re: NSFW defederation. I remember reading somewhere around here about an instance that defederates from nsfw instances because of concerns over illegal content. That feels plausible, and being unintentionally in the middle of it feels risky. Something to consider.

Animals evolved for millions of years to live under naturally dark skies. But in the last few decades, humanity has directed more and more lighting into the sky, creating light pollution that has been proven to confuse many animal species. A new study looked at the behavior of birds that feed at dawn and dusk and the impact of light pollution on their behavior. The researchers found that the effect is complicated, with skyglow creating brighter conditions under overcast skies compared to regions without light pollution, and changed the birds' choices for when to fly.
