wildfires: Checks Canada National Forestry database - nope, still trending downward from early 1990s.
temps: still nowhere near 1930s (before significant man added CO2) and trending downward since 1980s.
artic ice: still growing since 1980s (when the climate alarmists were doing the cooling scare)
I AM concerned about:
1. billionaire club proposal to dim the Sun (by dumpling particles in the upper atmosphere) - this resulted in mass starvation historically when volcanoes did it.
2. climate alarmist goal of 300 ppm CO2 - this resulted in mass starvation historically. 400 ppm seems much more optimal. (greenhouses target 1200 ppm, but that is not as nice for animal life).
@bibliolater You don't have to be a scientist to fact check the historical claims of the climate alarmists. Your first question should be, is there actually anything unusual to be alarmed about?

@Nazareno (Church of Jonah)
@Nazareno Is that from Assyrian Church of the East?
@Nazareno Urban dictionary says, "to brag or show off" (possibly derived from flexing your muscles to show them off).
So yeah,
Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD,
and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
so are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
He will not be put to shame
when he confronts the enemies at the gate.
@Nazareno What is a "flex"?
@freemo @Theraviranjankr For me to have an opinion on "it" [you've never been in the same physical space twice], there needs to be a definition of "physical space" and what constitutes them being the "same".
In the prevailing "scientific consensus" of relativity, there is no absolute time (or position) or order of events.
We observe two types of matter at the atomic level. Bosons (e.g. helium atoms) do in fact often occupy the same space and time on the micro scale.
@Nazareno
That's a very confusing article. E.g.
"Opponents of the war have pejoratively called the Z symbol a zwastika or zwaztika,"
"Opponents of the war" seems to refer to the US/NATO side keeping the war going.
"Z symbol a zwastika" - so what do they call the symbol painted on the tanks driven by Ukraine side?
@Nazareno What does the Z stand for?

@iam_jfnklstrm Have a friend or business partner in another city/state/country. Make net storage available to each other with your favorite protocol. WebDav (HTTP PUT) is dirt simple.
A simple starting point is for you and your peers to serve as DNS secondaries for each other.

@thelinuxEXP Just a nit pick here (but I think an important one): "Fedora" isn't proposing anything... Some folks are proposing telemetry _to_ Fedora (thats all of us in #fedora community).

@fedora If you have to trick your users into having telemetry by hoping they click through without noticing, YOU ARE THE BAD GUY.
