We’ve constructed a culture which venerates something we’ve made up – money – and ignores something we’re made of – carbon.
Which makes us less intelligent than frogs.

“As the temperature of the water is gradually increased, the frog will eventually become more and more active in attempts to escape the heated water. If the container size and opening allow the frog to jump out, it will do so.”

After an unusually high sea ice maximum in the Sea of Okhotsk this year, recent melting has been particularly fast & dropped to record low levels. Very high variability!

Hi friends,
The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, I have brain cancer.
I built a working, scalable, proof of concept library of shared alt text with fuzzy matching.
I'd like to connect with the #accessibility dev community. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

Boosts appreciated

We need help to pay for our backups. This is a yearly funding campaign that we do, so if you can help us please see here https://www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/ - we only need 300 Euros for a full year of 4TB encrypted backups.
This means everything from our videos and documentaries, books, websites, including trom.tf (meaning all of the files that users have uploaded to our services - from Peertube videos to Nextcloud files). Everything!
300 Euros to make sure that we have everything backed-up in a secure place.
Please help if you can and thanks a lot for doing that!

For better interoperability of the archival guarantees I would suggest using:
#IPFS and
#solid #pods
https://solidproject.org/about
with the integration of
#noosphere knowledge graphs
https://github.com/subconsciousnetwork/noosphere/blob/main/design/explainer.md
All together these can provide strong security/transparency and "easily" moving data from server to server (Considering that scientists change institutions).

Thank you. Can't call myself good at graph interpretation, but there appears to be a significant change in the plotted slope.
The loss of glacier ice loss appears to be accelerating!
One more of those very not comforting curves demonstrating accelerated warming.
How anyone can still doubt whether it's an emergency is probably related to where their money comes from.

Maybe this needs to be the default, with a button to undo it.
- Why people do not take time to stop and reflect on their environment?
- I think, it's because our society values productivity above all else. We're constantly bombarded with messages telling us to work harder, do more, achieve more. As a result, we often prioritize accomplishing tasks over taking breaks or enjoying leisure activities.

“Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains.
The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.” Via Dr Steve Campbell from the other place

There are 4 services that we use for TROM.tf via @YunoHost that are either broken or not updated in some time. I will try to look more into, but these are :
Friendica https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh see https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh/pulls
Nextcloud https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcloud_ynh see https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcloud_ynh/pulls
Discourse that's broken https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/discourse_ynh
And unfortunately Peertube that seems to suffer from some bugs with the update https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh
If anyone can help out that'd be awesome, because it would help us all. If not at least support Yunohost financially if you can afford that https://donate.yunohost.org/
Yunohost is a fantastic project that allows us to provide so many trade-free services for everyone.
I hope they/we can find a solution for these packages....

Clear the decks.
TLDR We can't burn the human power as we did in '23. We're requesting a "staff" donation goal in the hopes the community will back RFF going all in for '24. If not we'll scale back offerings and initiatives.
Either way we still need more help from the community for station direction and community building and outreach out in the feeds.
more comradery. more events. more love. more fun.

well done !
ive been following this series for some time. (a few years maybe?)
i love how you keep the details of the original in place.
ive learnt that this card contains also a meaning of 'the dangerous things that creeps from the depths and hide in the shadows'.
also i wonder if you'd ever consider doing one series on the runes from ralph blum, i'll totally buy a deck of those cards.
Uh, you could say it was quite a bit warmer than average in the #Arctic during December 2023... 😅

in reply to Dima • • •Very happy to see that you get some attention for your work Dima. I wish they had done a longer video with you but for now it is a very good start. We need more "inspiration" to get more active about these issues and ways to get involved because like you said most people don't even know where to get involved.
Keep up the great work man!

I think it still good, it will be aired on TV several times this and next week.
They also made a short video just with me. Not sure if its also for TV, but this short one is quite cool : https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/05/01/want-to-foster-climate-action-through-video-meet-the-eu-climate-pact-ambassador-who-films-
Yeah, I don't know about attention, even if it's Euronews the guy who running this program is not sure if he will get funding and approval for 2 season of this show. That was the last episode from season 1. So yeah looks like not many people watch such shows. But anyway we have to do it. The same as you with TROM. Because even if not much we still reach people. And that's I guess important
