@gabriel if their participation was enabling oppression, it'll be shaming and boasting if ill befalls them.

it's the difference between "going along with digital mrna injection certificates" and "believing in the food pyramid".

one of these is so obviously evil and dystopian that i likely won't cut these people slack. the other one is people eating unhealthy stuff.

actions should have consequences. that enabling state oppression never has consequences is the problem.

Nontech thoughts 

I have been long thinking why I am moving to HK, which is a complicated.

In a #totalitarianstate , people more or less embed a sort of #oppression in their daily work and life, in terms of person relationships and work culture.

Sometimes the oppression is either covered or revealed by a person's personalities. So it becomes hard to distinguish where the oppression is originated.

@torparskytt it absolutely does give the developers incentive to do not good things, like eugen consulting for sentiment analysis stuff. luckily that one did went nowhere and now the domain points to a online casino scam xD

> Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk: Das Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) hat ein großes Versprechen. Und dieses Versprechen lautet: Wir bringen den starken Staat zurück, einen autoritären Staat. Es ist, nebenbei gesagt, auch die Verbindung zur AfD.

die einzigen die hier seit jahrzehnten autoritärer staat machen sind SPD, CDU, grüne, FDP, linke.

google truly is useless now. you cant search for shit

EU funding AI instead of FOSS should be food for thought what things they do that are corrupt as well, without you noticing

I like this.

I also came here to whinge a bit about how my small town public library book group is reading Orwell's 1984. I think they think it was a funny choice. I've never read it before. I get queasy and can only digest it in small portions, mostly laying down. Ooof. It's so sinister and infuriating, probably because it reads like a how to guide for the current era.

Remember to turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth so there's enough water to cool the data center.

Whistling jars are pottery vessels from Chimu culture of North Coast, Peru, that date back to 1000–1476 CE. The jars are often decorated with bird's heads that conceal whistle and smaller whistles may have fingerholes to adjust pitch. The sounds jars make depend on their size, shape, and fluid levels. These unique instruments or shamanic tools as we will later discuss, are called whistling vessels or otherwise known in Spanish as huaco silbadors.

compressed air storage really is interesting indeed. this is one nice article, i think i might have posted it some time ago solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2018

i think the interesting part about methane (to a lesser degree H2 because storage sucks) is that you can transport it easily. that's why fossil fuels are so handy. put a liquid or gas into a tank and take it where it's required. not much infrastructure required at the destination.

what would help with H2 storage is some way of adsorption where it's not stored as gas but in some kind of "sponge", but those aren't ready as well.

@mangeurdenuage yeah, that's an issue as well. i think i saw some process to generate methane from h2 and some carbon, but it was nowhere near working on scale.
