The number of trees is Europe is growing quickly. In fact, terribly so, this is an official part of the carbon mitigation strategy of many western democracies.
You can be angry about a lot of things but unless this is some ancient yewtree wood, this is honestly a nothing-burger.
Flight simmers the world round will revolt if that dialog isn’t easy to get to or covered to modern format.
I am curious where I’ll find the touch screen configuration utility when they do.
Yes they sold access to the user content we’ve generated after we explicitly agreed to the fact that they may do so. If you’ve chosen to not read the fine print when you created an account and created content for them, that’s sort of up to you tbh.
All media companies have owners and potential conflicts of interest. Arstechnica (Conde Nast) is no different. They’ve explicitly called out any potential for conflict of interest when it has arisen in the past.
Of course the money goes to Conde Nast, they own the brand Ars Technica and employ the people who write for it; that doesn’t mean it doesn’t figure on Ars Technica’s budget when Conde Nast decides whether to continue paying the salary of the staff.
Never really have gone full Linux.
I run MacOS, Windows, Ubuntu, Fedora and BSD depending on the need of the box.
The one thing that lead me onto Linux, however, was the full hardware access in Docker.
But that’s not how carbon dioxide works. It isn’t individual poison - our bodies don’t give a shit whether it’s 350 ppm or 450 ppm. The planet does though.
You can vote and march. Those are the only small actions that will make a huge impact.
“Evolution had given a bit more thought to species survival”.
… that’s not how evolution works, unfortunately. It requires us to do the thinking.

… In a world of adequate distribution and a form of universal income, we should all relish automation.
That doesn’t preclude capitalism (investing for profit, the use of currency, interest rates etc), however, just needs a state with guts and capability to force redistribution.
How about “it’s complicated”? It certainly doesn’t steal art and it certainly does lower the need for humans to create art.
The “they stop learning how to do it properly” is as old as time itself!
How many of today’s Illlustrator artists know how to blend oil colours and layer them on cloth? How many software developers could build what they do in pure assembler?
We stand on the shoulders of giants, have been since the Stone Age. Specialisation and advancement has meant we don’t need to start from first principle. You could argue that is what “progress” is; being able to get a little bit further because your parents got a little bit further because their parents got a little bit further.
Three posts, across the fediverse, point to exactly the same link, with the same post text.
I would just love it if wefwef could collapse these into one (“Seen in 3 communities”) and then collapse the comments into one mega-thread.
I’d love it if client-side processing could collapse these posts into one.
Ok, but take a step back. You’re now using the lack of original forest in Sweden to somehow argue against commercial forest in Germany being chopped down to make way for construction.
