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 —

“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

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.”

@KawaTora@kolektiva.social strange that you had driver problems with one Ubuntu-based distribution, and not with another. I didn't expect they would have tangible differences at the hardware interface. Would you share the model/chipset of that network adapter? Pure curiosity

@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. fedistats.cc/nodes?sort=daily_
2. Check out their timeline, e.g. 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 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 github.com/gabipurcaru/followg

@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 fedidb.org/ and 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!

Su mastodon.uno siamo a favore dell'economia circolare, se avete qualcosa a cui volete dare una seconda vita, fatelo pure!

Se avete qualcosa da regalare pubblicatela aggiungendo #UnoRegalo e il tag al gruppo "mercatino del fediverso" su feddit: @mercatino

potete aggiungere anche il tag alla città:
@milano @roma @torino @firenze @roma @napoli @bari @palermo

Potete anche pubblicare oggetti in vendita ma solo con importi modesti, sotto i 100€, per oggetti più costosi usate altro, grazie 🙏

@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.
