Technology is not the ultimate challenge. You can build the world's best digital research infrastructure, but unless you have users, your infrastructure will be an empty place —

In the last 10 years, Paris has closed 100 streets to cars, removed 50,000 parking spots, tripled parking fees for SUVs, and built more than 800 miles of bike lanes. “Those changes have contributed to a 40% decline in air pollution.” https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/paris-olympics-city-reduce-air-pollution-rcna153470

Hey @dansup , to my knowledge you're also the developer of https://fedidb.org . I wonder if it is me or the graphs of the site are stuck at March 2024? For example on this page https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy ?
Hello from Pixelfed HQ https://lemmy.world/post/16085814
“The world has enough fossil fuel projects planned to meet global energy demand forecasts to 2050 and governments should stop issuing new oil, gas and coal licences, according to a large study aimed at political leaders.
If governments deliver the changes promised in order to keep the world from breaching its climate targets no new fossil fuel projects will be needed, researchers at University College London and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) said on Thursday.”
“We looked into this and apparently about 41 percent of resolutions by the EU on Ukraine have been blocked by Hungary. The EPF is blocked ... Ukrainian accession talks [are] being held hostage by Hungary and I could go on.”
“Almost all of our discussions and needed solutions and decisions by the EU are being blocked by just one country. So we have to start seeing this as a systematic approach towards any efforts by the EU to have any meaningful role in foreign affairs.”

@ahoyboyhoy @KawaTora@kolektiva.social ah, thanks. This would be a very probable explanation. Much appreciated
@KawaTora@kolektiva.social really weird, but sounds like a solvable problem. Anyway, good luck with Linux. I use https://alternativeto.net/ a lot. Very useful, esp. at the start when you're used to tools for other platforms
This @briankrebs story is so wild
“As detailed by researchers at Radware, NoName has effectively gamified DDoS attacks, recruiting hacktivists via its Telegram channel and offering to pay people who agree to install a piece of software called DDoSia. That program allows NoName to commandeer the host computers and their Internet connections in coordinated DDoS campaigns, and DDoSia users with the most attacks can win cash prizes.”

@lgsp Avendo lo visto da vicino non mi sembra fattibile anche con tanta volontà.
Secondo me i cartelli semplicemente significno "non provateci neanche nell'altro corridoio (non ho neanche controllato se c'è un ascensore o scala mobile). Mi immagino che è stato provocato da qualche precedente, perché altrimenti non mi immagino come potrebbe venire in mente...
@vics @sendung I'm certainly looking for the same and there's no real easy of doing that.
The workaround I'm currently using is:
1. Find instances with language of interest, e.g. https://fedistats.cc/nodes?sort=daily_posts&q=lang%3Abe
2. Check out their timeline, e.g. https://vkl.world/public/local
But I suppose your language is like mine, and you've exhausted the few relevant instances long ago. Plus, most of the community is dispersed elsewhere anyways.
Possibly a step 3. Could be https://followgraph.vercel.app/ , but stupidly it looks up who your contacts are following, and not who follows them. If you also think it should be otherwise, consider this issue https://github.com/gabipurcaru/followgraph/issues/18

@sendung hey, I'm interested in studying how language communities develop over the fediverse. Ideally, I'd like to do something similar to what you're doing and publish (both academic publication and web service along the lines of https://fedidb.org/ and https://fedistats.cc/) some analysis of multilingualism across instances and individuals. I personally participate in Italian and Bulgarian communities, but also follow a number of English, German and Russian accounts.
Clearly this interest is entirely at the aggregated level, but for small communities, we'll need to be careful regarding privacy implication of published data.
So, a few questions:
1. Do you still check your account?
2. Are you interested in collaborating on this?
3. Are you willing to share some work you've done (code, data, whatever)?
Thanks!

@energisch_ @evan yes, laws need to be improved, but they need to be changed constructively, with broadening inclusion and without purposefully excluding others in the process. This is a process constructed of impossible questions every day. But I'd argue that rejecting wholeheartedly the previous imperfect versions takes us back to the start.
The current ICC case is a precedent exactly in this direction. It is the first time a prosecutor raises the bar to hold those in power accountable.
