So @tortoc gifted me 4kg of inoculated oyster mushroom substrate for christmas and that is probaly the weirdest unprompted gift anyone has ever given me.
I fucking love it!
I was able to repair my 80€ Headphones using spare parts that cost me 0.71€ and a total of 2h of work. Had I bought headphones from certain other companies, repairing them would have been either impossible or the spare parts would have cost nearly as much as the headphones themselves.
This is why we need a right to repair.
'Among other things, the latest report makes unmistakably clear that whatever Chevron, BP, Shell, Exxon and other members of the American Petroleum Institute may say about their climate policies, their investments show that they intend to continue producing and selling oil and gas deep into the future — and well beyond the carbon budgets implied by any of the world’s climate goals.'

Justizminister Buschmann: Bundesregierung klar gegen Chatkontrolle
Nach einem "guten Gespräch" mit der Innenministerin Faeser sei sich die Exekutive nun endlich einig beim Nein zu anlassloser Überwachung, so Buschmann.

It's a bit like asking people "Would you rather buy a beautiful apple that is imported from the other end of the world and been treated with insecticides or an apple from a local organic farm that has a few blemishes?"
Most people would say they'd take the second one. But when they go to the supermarket and buy some apples, most of those people still take the beautiful insecticide apple.
Ultimatum bei Twitter: Hunderte Angestellte kündigen, Musk schließt die Büros
Nach dem abgelaufenen Ultimatum hat Twitter offenbar Hunderte weitere Angestellte verloren. Zuletzt hat Musk versucht, einige zum Bleiben zu überreden.
But it's kinda ironic: Twitter's mainstream impact has largely been based around people gossiping and squabbling and calling it "news" and "discourse". And now the same tendencies turn back on the platform itself, amplifying the turbulences like a giant digital tacoma narrows bridge.
Honestly, at this point I just ignore the whole twitter drama. People are stumbling over each other trying to make the "funniest" Elon Musk joke, Twittter introduces/reverts changes and everything is a dumpster fire.
Call me when it has either settled or blown up beyond repair, otherwise I'm couldn't care less about the drama
