We need reply controls in mainline masto like yesterday. Of course technically its always possible for people on a malicious instance to evade them, but that is not a counterargument to having them work on the overwhelming majority of well behaved instances where the people we actually talk to […]
Wind now generates roughly as much electricity as nuclear globally, but its growth rate is vastly higher. Over the last decade, wind added around 870 GW of capacity versus roughly 40 GW for nuclear.

Against the wishes his label and the shows producer, #ElvisCostello sang this song on SNL instead of his debut single, and it got him banned from the show for a dozen years. Radio Radio is a scathing, sarcastic critique of the commercialization in British radio in […]
I cannot believe that in the year 2026, here I am making a pamphlet to help Saskatchewan farm kids identify space junk and get in touch with me.
This is so ridiculous, because:
1. Even though I have seen space junk in Sask with my own eyes, it's still hard to believe that billionaires are […]

computer hardware went up 5x because memory that hasn’t been yet manufactured was bought with money that doesn’t exist for pairing with gpus that don’t exist in data centres that haven’t been built which would be powered by infrastructure that isn’t even planned […]
