dirty coal

Implying there is clean coal, or what?

I’m sure they’ll come with disappointingly low standards which the day after will already be ignored, just like they did every other time before.

The very fact that they’re not negotiating with the thought of our mere survival in our heads and go “oh fuck we need to cut CO2 down close to zero within 5 years” they’re actually negotiating how many millions (perhaps even billions) of people are okay to die from the consequences of climate change so that they and their top donors can stay rich enough.

This should be a very simple negotiation. This should be “are we going down to 10% of CO2 output * in 5 years top or 15% in 6?” This should end with binding agreements, but this will end with a few suggestions that everyone will politely ignore before laughing their way back home

Cynical take? I’m sure it is. I’m also sure that it’s what will happen

Edit: and right the next article I read:

One mundane procedural issue stands out, however: voting. Due to the concerted efforts of oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia, participants in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC—the treaty that kicked off the yearly COP negotiations—are unable to vote on contentious issues. Instead, they have to pursue consensus, giving every country a de facto veto power over proposals they don’t like. Environmental groups have called this a “poison pill” that has undermined climate progress for decades. Many are trying to stop it from sullying other international environmental agreements, like the UN plastics treaty.

Ding ding ding

Holy shit that site is cancer on mobile, not to mention their fun fun fun cookie handling where I only have to make 2548591 clicks to not have my asshole inspected negen intry to read a single page. Then come the full page ads and pop-ups.

Granted, internal connect browser with no plugins to alleviate some of this, but man that was an experience.

1/5, Did NOT read the article, would not recommend

I’ve seen hundreds of these warnings over the past decades

All were laughingly ignored, and this one too, will be ignored by politicians and business leaders with a big smile

Cynical? Hell yeah, I know. It’s also reality

Compared to what?

I know redhat has a new package manager which name I can’t recall now but before it was rpm with yum and holy crap that was molasses slow

You don’t really expect anything sensible from people with ideas like “let’s bury dead trees to stop climate change?”, right?

Ding ding ding

Open source code is usually quite nice and well done because money pressure is way less of an issue and everyone knows people will be looking at your code

Yeah, no

First off, this is just another step, and if you believe it’s the last one then I have a nice bridge to sell you

Secondly, this won’t work in practice. Software is being developed all ove the world by single nerds to scientists to little kids, to small software companies to huge software multinationals with hundreds of thousands of developers.

99.9% of the world doesn’t have these rules and won’t give a shit about what California wants. Do you believe that the app developed by some random kid in a random country will start checking age just because newsom wants it? Ok Boomer.

And IF this system allows you to put in whatever date, then what’s the point, beyond some security theater?

This bill is absolute horse shit and won’t go anywhere because this is not how the world works. This will likely end with citizens in California having a really really tiny amount of software available to them legally

Uh huh.

Loads of scam projects on play store that rarely get taken down but a competitor on play store gets sabotaged. I’m sure it’s purely coincidental

I figured you were one of this climate change deniers that “lalalala I cannot hear you!” though their lives

Bill Gates is a billionaire who will say what he thinks you need to hear so that he can get richer

Oh please no

It was kind of a bad idea back then, but when it was revisited with star trek Picard (worst show ever) it was so dumb, so stupid… I wish I could erase that show from my memories, I wish I never watched it, it ruined star trek TNG for me. I kept hoping each episode that it would get better but somehow it only got worse and worse until the quality of it just imploded into a black hole

Just because this may NOT have been caused by AI doesn’t mean that AI in 99% of places isn’t absolute horse shit

Microsoft and session management somehow always have been enemies.

It’s not THAT hard, relatively, to do that well, but Microsoft really has been scraping the bottom of the barrel on that one since forever.

I mean, Microsoft sucks and everything, but session handling somehow is extra dumb. Up until about a year ago it was damn neigh impossible to have tso teams tabs open without shit stirring like crazy

Huuurrr duuuurrrr funny

Researchers expected deep snow because that is how the climate is supposed to be there, it’s supposed to be freezing cold yet it’s all thawing.

If you can’t understand that that is a major issue then I invite you to go back with your maga friends who all think it’s funny to joke about the subject that very well may mean the end of humanity as we know it.

I’m sure it’s all accidental and coincidental that open source project that rival Google just weirdly got flagged as being dangerous. Google also doesn’t know how this happened, it just did! Magic!

I worked at a datacenter that sold clients 99.99% uptime.

Fun times with a maximum of about one hour of downtime per year for hundreds of servers

Was it proven that AI wa the cause?

In not saying it wasn’t, just that if it really was, I’d like a source for that claim

I read an interesting report about how most of these courses are rather ineffective because it adds knowledge but doesn’t change behaviors.

They’re literally trying everything possible to destroy this planet. There is no reason to delay this, maybe maybe a few people will make good money on this, but mostly this is just a good thing for everyone AND the planet.

So yeah, let’s reverse that too
