Respect to #thejuicemedia for their satire. You know you have achieved something when your government tries to pass a law to specifically silence you and when your comedy is being quoted inside the parliament.

@derHennefer@bonn.social Did you read the article? It is a quite complicated issue. Obviously we cannot have absolutely accurate numbers for something that will happen after 50 years. Yet, the science behind such predictions is solid. The ~3.5 billion-climate-immigrants case is just a hypothesis, but it's based on the rest of the article, which includes proven facts on climate change.

#Blackrock, the world’s largest fund manager, voted against the re-election of #ExxonMobil leadership over their approach to climate change, and - even more significant because it actually succeeded - shareholders in US driller #Chevron demanded it disclose its lobbying on climate issues and how their actions are compatible with the Paris climate agreement.

Juukan Gorge cave, the sacred site in Australia, one which showed 46,000 years of continual occupation and provided a 4,000-year-old genetic link to present-day traditional owners, has been destroyed in the expansion of an iron ore mine. The #mining giant Rio Tinto received ministerial consent to destroy or damage the site in 2013 under outdated #Aboriginal heritage laws, which were drafted in 1972 to favour mining proponents.

It was the only inland site in #Australia to show signs of continual human occupation through the last Ice Age.

According to a new study on #climatechange it is possible that by 2070:
"∼3.5 billion people (roughly 30% of the projected global population) would have to move to other areas if the global population were to stay distributed relative to temperature the same way it has been for the past millennia"

Although, this is a theory that could lose accuracy over the next 50 years, delaying our transition to #renewables is certainly a bad idea!

@design_RG PinePhone seems interesting.

@design_RG I wish Ubuntu Touch (or a similar OS) will make it one day...

@k11m1 Well, I am interested in the scientific part of this progress, but what do you mean?

#Nvidia trained an #AI neural network to produce higher quality frames for games, as an improvement to anti-aliasing, and it works at higher framerates than traditional supersampling!

A great set-up for a centralized system and a smart use of Artificial Intelligence, making AI-focused GPUs more relevant to casual gamers.

@banna Seems interesting. I will look into it!

@lupyuen "Care 19 requires an opt-in by users to provide us their location data, making it incredibly friendly to privacy concerns."
Well, I don't know if giving your location data to the government makes an app incredibly privacy-friendly...

Often, to gain #privacy you have to sacrifice speed or user experience. Changing your #DNS server is kind of an exception, though. Unless, you have set up your own private server or you live in a region with poor ping to Cloudflare's servers, 1.1.1.1 seems to be the best solution for privacy AND speed. Although, #Cloudflare is a huge for-profit company, they get audits annually to prove their statement remains true: no IP logs or other user data trading.

IPv4: primary: 1.1.1.1 secondary: 1.0.0.1
IPv6: primary: 2606:4700:4700::1111 secondary: 2606:4700:4700::1001

For private DNS (in Android): https://1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com/

If your programs support DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS make sure you enable that to encrypt your DNS requests. Firefox and some Android versions do.

Earlier this week, the #EU released it’s #Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, with highlights including a commitment to protecting 30% of the EU’s high-biodiversity land and oceans, reducing chemical pesticide use by 50%, and planting 3 billion trees.
Finally, some good news. I hope we get to see this in practice...

@miguel31416 @freemo Hahaha! I noticed something was wrong with the link, but I didn't know if it would render some other way. Thanks, anyway!

-F-Droid instead of Google Play.
In F-Droid you will find a variety of open-source apps, like the following.

- QKSMS instead of the pre-installed messaging app.
Support for multiple SIMs and MMS messaging.

- Firefox instead of Chrome.
The debate for the perfect browser is out of scope here, but obviously your browser is one of the things you will consider changing.

- NewPipe instead of YouTube.
NewPipe is a front-end for YouTube, basically YouTube with privacy and without ads. It can also play in the background (!) if you like. Since, PeerTube is not always enough, no matter how substantial.

- OpenMultiMaps (based on OpenStreetMap) instead of Google Maps.
Crowd-sourced maps for all countries. Special filters included, like wheelchair accessible places, vegan/vegetarian restaurants and more.

- Carnet instead of Google Keep.
Simple but feature-rich notepad.

- CPU Info to complement pre-installed hardware monitoring apps.
Displays hardware specs, current CPU frequency per core, RAM usage, temperatures and more.

- Orbot to access the Tor network.
This app works mostly as a VPN. No need for access to specific (paid) servers.

- Simple File Manager Pro to view and handle directories.
Google’s Files are designed to show only files saved directly from the user. Finding system folders is not that simple. The Simple File Manager belongs to a series of apps for basic operations by Simple Mobile Tools, most of which are worth trying. The apps require a payment in Google Play, so they are not Free anymore. Yet, you can still install open-source versions via F-Droid, without payments or ads.
