New acronym just dropped.

NIMQE - Not in my quarterly earnings! Pronounced Nimquee

Example usage: The CEO, upon receiving word of a new bill that would drastically help reduce carbon emissions but also create a temporary negative pressure on their multinational’s earnings per share, pulled a suitcase full of cash from their file cabinet and walked out the door, calling up the governor to arrage a round of golf where they would declare NIMQE.

Dont forget record cold! The cold air thats supposed to be at the poles gets pushed into regions that should be warm. So our crops with both be frozen and baked before they can be harvested thanks to climate change

Cant wait for the review on explainingcomputers.com 🤓

Lets hope this scales!

Hell yeah, thanks for the informative reply :)

Has anyone used this?

I have and dig Gitea, but this sounds radtastic, especially with the fediverse integration (If I understand it right.)

Worth switching?

Wow you’re so enlightened with your centricity here.

I mean really, whats the difference between eating a turd and eating 100 turds?

And none of those other worries will matter when you starve to death because we fucked our ecosysten which we get our food from.

A lot of those worries are worries exactly because they divide and distract people.

Abortion was resolved in the 1970s… Until politicians found they could win votes and divide people by putting the right for a woman to have control over her body into the discourse; demonizing people and lying about abortion being baby killing is a great way to control people.

Migration, economy, even healthcare will all be fucked if we dont address the climate.

Google climate refugee, dengue fever climate change and climate disaster costs if you dont believe me.

My understanding is different https://theconversation.com/climate-explained-methane-is-short-lived-in-the-atmosphere-but-leaves-long-term-damage-145040

Also, we cant afford any of it. As soon as we end up in a dustbowl situation a world war will likely be the result.

Once nations are in wartime survival mode, carbon resuction will be out the window and I sincerely think we’ll turn the earth into an uninhabitable hellscape where everyone dies.

Everyone. It may take a while for the last people to go, but I do mean everyone. People will construct elaborate bunker systems and try to make self contained farming centers, but the reality is that stuff is way harder than it looks and all it takes is one disease, one fire or power disaster, or one psycho to destroy the crops, whoch is likely after a hundred or so years and woop, everyone dies.

Funny joke, but fer serious…

A complete collapse of the US wouldn’t mean a carbon free utopia, it would mean corporations would be the defacto government (they already pretty much are, but we still have weekends and pollution control. Megacorps will turn everything into the mining towns of old where everyone is completely owned by the mining companies and pollution controls, labor laws and healthcare are non-existant.

When I say US citizens put out 13 tonnes per capita of CO2 a lot of folks have no ideawhatt that means. Is that a lot?

The answer is yes. The US is essentially sticking about 5 billion of these into the air every year, and they dont come down…

CO2 looks clear to our eyes but is opaque in infrared, meaning last year humans blanketed the sky with 35 billion of these heat absorbing gas baloons, that will never come down in our lifetime, but willl make our world hotter.

The few hundred billion we’ve already put up there is already leading to starvation in poor countries and mass bleaching of coral reefs and disruptions inoceans flows our ocean eco system depends on, oceans… You know, a huge source of food.

So were merrilly marching into a never ending dust bowl that according to the fossil record will terminate with an ice age that will last millions of years.

It’ll be great explaining to your kids how cars and cruises and sugary bubble soda was worth sending them into never ending wars for food.

I also suspect a big incentive for keeping car infrastructure ona federal level is roads and car manufacturing are just manufacturing supply chains and logistica that can be switched to weapons manufacturing.

The largest car manufacturers became the behemoths they are due to WWII. After the war was over it seemed good to keep the jobs , skilled labor and factories going.

Highways were also specifically built for military maneuvering.

That said, public transport is way more efficient and makes communities safer, happier and more economically productive. I say we can have both. And the military will be less necessary if consumption is scaled back. But then the billionaires will have to pay more taxes because poor people wont be spending their retirement investments on cars so they can be more employable.

Blargh.

Wait, is money free speech or not?

If you intend to run a service like nextcloud or something that necessitates a lot or writing to a disk, I recommend gettingan nvme hat and booting off that.

I have a nextcloud instance thats been going for about a year and it’s been pretty great.

Before that my instance’s SD card died after about 6 months.

I hope folks hear this.

Our food system is begining to fail. How do we get this out like we kinda did the bees.

We need to tie those together.

And the mosquitoes and malaria/dangue.

Stuff that effects folks directly… Plague and famine

But we gotta keep doomerism and cults-of-death-for-some-greater-afterlife at bay.

There’s opportunity abound, we just gotta grab it. Green new deal stuff.

He ran for president. His talking points were listening to scientists and not spending the budget surplus gained in the Clinton years when Al was vice president.

He won the popular vote, lost Florida which was governed by Dubbya’s brother and we got Dubbya in the white house.

Over the next few years we got the SUV, Iraq war and warrantless wiretapping of US citizens. Climate scientists were labeled the enemy, EPA was turned into a joke and Haliburton and Petro comanies were doing better than they ever dreamed.

These are always so fun
