But what is that, yonder in the distance? It's the Whitelee Wind Farm, the largest on-shore wind farm in the UK. Always an uplifting sight.

@dredmorbius It's also interesting to note that unlike PIR, Denic, the manager of the .de domain, is organized as a #cooperative. I don't think such a sale would be possible here without the agreement of the majority of members. #DotOrg #SaveDotOrg

Ich: Organisiere seit einem Jahr @FridayForFuture mit – alleine gestern waren wir 630.000 für echte Klimagerechtigkeit GroKo: Ignoriert uns & verabschiedet sich von 1,5° @tagesschau, @BILD, etc: Berichten über MEINE nicht perfekten Schulnoten, statt über Klimapolitik

Selbst, wenn man schon häufig in das große Loch am #HambacherForst geschaut hat, sind die Dimensionen der Zerstörung schwer zu fassen.

Ich habe den Köner Dom daher maßstabsgetreu in die Kohlegrube gesetzt.

More than 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world per minute, 2017 report says

Per minute.

The number has probably only gone up since then.
I live in a place where essentially free, clean water pours out of taps - and ppl still buy bottled water.

Mobile devices are what happened when the 'computer should be a sealed box appliance that protects the users from themselves' philosophy finally triumphed over 'the computer should be a wide-open playground for experimenters'.

I wonder if this trend can ever unhappen, now that it has begun.

Happy Tootsgiving!

The Salvation Army is going to have to kiss a *lot* of ass to make up for the shit it's pulled in the past if they want to suddenly pretend they're "pro-LGBT" or whatever they're saying now. They've been known to ask homeless people in same-sex relationships to break up or else they won't take them in, won't help them, etc. People go gaga over the Salvation Army like they have charity prestige, but they're a church group and they've always been a church group.

If you have a .org domain name: go renew it now. For the full 10 years.

Registration rights for .org were just bought by a private equity firm. And as part of that contract, the price caps were removed.

Anything in .org will get much more expensive, soon.

A ten year renewal will cost you a bit over a hundred bucks. Which is probably less than one year will cost you in the very near future.

Please for the love of your future blood pressure, look _now_ at having a game plan for when each and every service you rely upon gets bought up by corporations of dubious ethical stance and worse legal jurisdiction.

If there's one thing .org should teach us, after all the daft things from wire to npm modules to ... it's that it can happen to anything in the dependency chain.

It's the socialism or barbarism election.

If you don't have a personal reason to vote, or you feel like you have some duty to abstain, please consider the lives of people like me who have suffered a lot from Tory governance:

- 2016: Had to desperately figure out a pathway to British Citizenship due to terrible new housing/employment laws

- 2018: Had my benefits removed because of Tory quotas and health assessments, struggling to survive ever since
