Deutscher wird's nicht: Die Bewohner eines Gebäudes in Lützerath versuchten, eine Genehmigung für eine Fotovoltaikanlage zu erhalten, die ihnen mit Verweis auf den Denkmalschutz verweigert wurde. Nun konnte RWE das ganze Gebäude trotz Denkmalschutz abreißen.

"The research into Verra, the world’s leading carbon standard for the rapidly growing $2bn (£1.6bn) voluntary offsets market, has found that, based on analysis of a significant percentage of the projects, more than 90% of their rainforest offset credits – among the most commonly used by companies – are likely to be “phantom credits” and do not represent genuine carbon reductions."

So greenwashing schemes do not work as advertised? Who'd have thought?

@daviddelven This is why I explicitly NEVER say "please like and subscribe" in videos.

Anyone who has participated in real protests knows that this does not happen. @gretathunberg

It's funny that the exact same term is used with the opposite meaning by other people.

@julia_

Sorry, I just wanted to understand people who are OK with Mozilla but not with Brave.

Like, Mozilla are the good guys and Brave the bad ones... come on...

This is not about Firefox, it's about from where Mozilla takes money, how they use them and questionable decisions like buying Pocket, promise to make it Open Source but instead keeping it proprietary and poorly integrating it in Firefox with multiple flags needed to disable it.

Then there is the decision of not turning Gecko in something that can compete with CEF and the reasons we have so many Chromium-based browsers.

There is the decision of giving up on (real) PWA for desktop despite Mozilla promoted the concept ante literam even with a Web based mobile OS.

And I can go on for a while... Mozilla has become a disgrace for Firefox in the recent years, way worse for us than Brave that is just another Chromium-based browser.

@julia_

I was talking about using ffprofile.com/ in less then 10 min etc vs clicking "install" for LibreWolf.

If you read more carefully maybe...

@julia_

It's way easier to just install LibreWolf. Many people need an "install" icon. LibreWolf is on FlatHub so it's a great choice for Linux users.

Also no Mozilla branding, no more trademarked Firefox.

@julia_

No, sorry, promoting VPN providers as private is something I can't tolerate from Mozilla.

What the hell

There is nothing private about a provider, the acronym stands for the technology involved not to the service.

Using a VPN provider means trusting it instead of your ISP (Internet Service Provider). It is not more private at all, it just depends on who you prefer to trust.

Very bad for Mozilla that once promoted on the Web.

@julia_

Also just opened Twitter to check Firefox profile and found a very bad thing:

twitter.com/firefox/status/161

They just promoted VPNs as something "private". There is nothing private about a VPN provider, the acronym stands for the technology involved not to the service.

Very bad for Mozilla that once promoted privacy on the Web.

@julia_

Care to reply to the rest too and not only on accepting cryptocurrencies (the only thing they retracted after community outcry)? Are you really OK with what Mozilla became in the recent years? I am not.

There is LibreWolf if you want to promote the diversity of web engines without supporting Mozilla.

@julia_

Please do something about too, they pay their CEO an absurd amount of money, they spend money on useless left-y political campaigns, they take money from Google, they still haven't open sourced Pocket after years, they wanted to accept cryptocurrencies as donations and so on...

@jwz

WHO does not base its recommendations on scientific evidence.

@doctormo @djsumdog @straphanger

The protests are supposed to annoy those in power, not other people who already have their own problems.

I started patching packages a lot, so I won't get blocked by upstream issues. pnpm's built-in patching system is awesome, but honestly, its UX is not perfect. So I created a simple wrapper to make it easier:

@DavMicRot

Glenn Greenwald? The one who authored the investigation into the judiciary against Bolsonaro and in favor of Lula? Am I missing something?

@weaniejeanie53

It is almost certainly staged with stuffed animals.
