#Google pays 1150 times its entire #lobbying budget in the EU & US to fund its search engine #monopoly.😳

And if that wasn't bad enough, now they're accused of slowing down #YouTube on non-Chrome Browsers like #Firefox! 🀬

Does Google know any shame? Apparently not. 🀑 tuta.com/blog/google-search-mo…

in reply to Tuta

well, we know why they removed the "Don't be evil" motto, don't we?
in reply to Tuta

they are also playing very dirty in affirming their Google shopping over any other price comparison website. Legal proceedings in the EU have been going on for years, now it would appear like Google is throttling traffic to that kind of websites. They've all dropped in visibility over the last few weeks. πŸ™„

β€œWe’ve reached a tipping point where we have sufficient scientific knowledge of how to reintroduce species,” says Neil Carter, associate professor of #wildlife #conservation at the University of Michigan.

β€œBut the social and political aspects are the other side of the coin. The biggest risk emerges from these animals coming into conflict with people and pets. It’s probably the number one issue facing conservation.”

"Maintaining healthy populations of just nine key wild species (or groups of species) – including elephants and wolves, but also wildebeest, musk ox and bison, as well as marine fish, whales, sharks and sea otters – can play a vital role in controlling the carbon cycle on land and sea."

#Arctic climate rankings are in for October 2023: #SciComm #OpenData #OpenScience zacklabe.com/archive-2023/. Very "warm," but no new records.

Looking back at temperatures over the last 6 months - another game of trying to find any blue patches... 🫣

Temperature anomalies:
πŸŸ₯ warmer than average
🟦 colder than average

BREAKING:
On November 14, NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment aboard the Psyche spacecraft beamed a near-infrared laser encoded with test data from nearly 16 million kilometers away (50 light-seconds) – about 40 times farther than the Moon is from Earth – to the Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California. This is the farthest-ever demonstration of optical communications.

779 trees planted in the Philippines in September, paid for by Mastodon.green tooters.

€1286 in September fees = €257 for trees = 779 mangroves.

Altogether, so far, the instance's members have planted 18,285 new trees on Earth.

The server runs on 100% renewable energy. 20% of the small monthly membership fee goes to certified tree-planting. Danke, tak & thanks to our admin @JohanEmpa for his work and for sharing the figures.

Our oceans have been record warm over the last three months due to human-caused climate change and an (unlucky) combination of other factors (e.g., transition from 3 years of La NiΓ±a to El NiΓ±o, atmospheric circulation forcing, multi-decadal variability, solar activity)

Very large portions of the #Arctic observed temperatures more than 5Β°C above the 1981-2010 reference period last month! This was especially prominent in areas of missing sea ice.

Instead of a #FollowFriday I wanted to just say how much I've literally had more happiness in my life after properly getting into @radiofreefedi this week and discovering and enjoying so many amazing artists, so shout out to @deannaistyping @DoctorDeathray @randulo @Sakti and of course the brilliant @rybson plus so many more I either forgot or didn't catch their fedi link in time haha! Thank you to everyone who makes this initiative so wonderful! #RadioFreeFedi
