The Quiet Devastation of Extinction Capitalism
Hi! How's everyone? Today we're going to discuss an especially cheery topic — extinction.

How do you feel looking around the world? Depressed, anxious, bewildered, bereft? We have the pathetic spectacle of the first criminal trial of an American President — and the current front runner for the next Presidency. If you needed a sign about how things are going in this age, that's one that'll go down in history.

My #WebDev tip of the day. Forms do not, never should be, never, ever, ever, ever, should be tables with columns and rows. Never. Edit fields do not need to be a different column in a table but to the user it looks like a form. No. This will not help you later. Don't ever do this. Never, ever, ever, do this. Besides, you'll have to label that edit field again anyway. The label isn't gonna magically appear because column A has words in it. #HTML #Accessibility

Inside TSMC’s Phoenix, Arizona expansion struggles - Rest of World https://restofworld.org/2024/tsmc-arizona-expansion/
Missed deadlines and tension among Taiwanese and American coworkers are plaguing the chip giant’s Phoenix expansion.

As training went on, tensions mounted. U.S. engineers told Rest of World that some Taiwanese male engineers had calendars with bikini models on their desks and occasionally shared sexual memes in group chats. A female American colleague, according to an American trainee who witnessed the conversation, asked a Taiwanese engineer to remove his computer wallpaper depicting a bikini model. One former American engineer said some local co-workers referred to him as a “white breeding pig,” implying he was only in Taiwan to sleep with local women. At a meeting, a manager said Americans were less desirable than Taiwanese and Indian workers, according to people who saw leaked notes, which circulated among trainees.


I wonder, what is the cheapest hardware we can run on that isn't x86 or ARM-based?

I can find a nintendo wii on eBay for 20 euros, and ERLite-3s for 30 euros.

"Egyptian police crack down on pro-Palestine demonstrations"

Egyptian authorities have arrested least 18 activists, mostly women, at a protest calling for the protection of women in Gaza.

Egypt has largely banned public demonstrations against the war. Criticism of the country’s ties with Israel, with which it signed a peace accord in 1979, is highly sensitive.

Although highly invisible in western international media, Egypt, has been actively trying to find ways to pursue a cease fire. Very few countries seem to have been as committed, and possibly the very reason we hear little of what Egypt does.
They also have to deal with long term destabilized neighbors for years.

More than 6,000 sheep now call Australia’s largest solar farm home
New England Solar, a 400MW solar farm that currently shares the title of Australia’s largest solar farm, is not only generating at peak output, but is also now home to more than 6,000 sheep who call the 1,200-hectare site home.

The New England Solar farm is being built in two stages, with the 400MW stage 1 already operating and supplying electricity to New South Wales and Queensland, and a further 320MW solar farm and 200MW/2-hour battery under construction.

In addition to co-locating a battery energy system with the solar farm, New England Solar is also co-located with several thousand sheep – mainly merinos and other cross breeds.

According to developer Acen Renewables, more than 6,000 of the woolly animals are being rotated on and off the project site, which is now serving as a new feeding ground.

The sheep will spend six weeks on the land before being herded back to their sheds for health checks or vaccinations before then being moved on to other paddocks or straight back to their green solar pastures.
I hear vast arrays of panels pulls away 20% of the heat from the surrounding area into the electrical grid. From what I understand, plants are 2% efficient and add humidity to maintain their own temperature

Designs nowadays are sooooooooooooo boring, like we have given up on fun and fantasy 🙁 Some things still have that, but way way to much, black, grey, cubist crap.
Fun design: Speaker design

Ever consider giving up your dabbling in supremacist colonialism/supporting the genocide of brown people or has Eurocentrism rotted your brain #BlueMAGA? I understand that critical thinking can seem like propaganda in a mind shrunk to the reactionary banality, “We good. They bad.”

"supremacist colonialism/supporting the genocide of brown people"

Holy Old Check All The BDS Boxes Clap Trap Batman. Who are the "Brown" people again?

A little Genocide Math: you start out in 1948 with 700,000, 76 years pass & you've got 5 million, only on Planet Htrae - Bizarro World is that Genocide.

Supremacist Colonialism, good one, now what in the semantical linguistic banality does that mean? That's a rhetorical question.

Christ, what ridiculous nonsense.

I love flutes. Always have. When I was 5 or 6 years old I wanted to play flute but it was not to be. Now 70 years later I have a flute and despite being a total amateur clarinet player I can't seem to get the flute to make a decent sound.
Anyway. I looked at the instrument in the picture and thought: that's not a flute, it's some kind of whistle like a recorder. But it turns out that recorders are what are known as fipple flutes.
The linked article is interesting and has me smiling. My hon. grandson plays cornet, trumpet and clarinet, among other things. He is well into music and will find the article interesting and thought provoking.
