It’s sad to see how browser manufacturers have been treating RSS for a while. Back in the day your Firefox would show you that a page has an RSS feed. You were able to click on it, see what was in there in human readable, not cryptic-XML style format, and you were able to subscribe to it. Then you had a nice little bookmark showing you everything this page had posted recently. RSS is a great technology and it really really sucks how Big Tech has tried to kill it.

Do you know what the stupid thing about this is? Those generations are not the same between countries. Babyboomer for example are defined as people born between 1946 and 1964 in the USA. In Germany it’s 1955 till 1969. There are also people around talking about “Boomer” in asian countries, which had totally different experiences and demographics. The whole concept of those “generations” is trash and people thinking that there is a specific stare for everyone who was born in a certain timeframe is also an idiot

Thank you!

I’m running Onlyoffice on Ubuntu and it has been nice so far. Great software - so where is this “highly criticized” coming from and should I be concerned? Switch to the fork?

Thank you - that sound good :)

How can someone get his data out of the system? I’m always hesitant to try software like these - I have been burned by software where it is easy to put in your data and hard or impossible to get out.

Your friends might be stupid if they are not realizing that those banners are designed to trick people

What sources is this searching for books?

That really is the best opportunity for China to take Taiwan. Wait a little bit longer until stockpiles are empty and ground troops are deployed and then strike while the USA is occupied

That happens a lot. There are a lot of people doing open zoom meetings and webinars. So you might have a webinar about “how to install solar on your roof”, organized by some organisation or a public zoom meeting for some online community. The link will get posted on socials and everybody can hop into the call and listen to it. Some other examples are in the article.

It kind of shows the priorities? Your infrastructure will be fine for a few years if you do no maintenance. After that, it’s downhill. If you are investing in maintaining it, you show that you have the longterm interests of the population in mind instead of some shortterm things that might help you during your short term

Yeah, that’s the problem: There is no paywall-busting archiver that doesn’t DDOS. If you know one, let me know.

It’s too complicated to explain in one post here. If you want to know, you might want to read the Wikipedia articles on the middle east conflict, the founding of Israel and all those wars. It might take a while, that conflict doesn’t have easy answers for you

We all knew that electing Trump would be bad, but I’m still shocked at how bad it’s becoming. His actions are plunging multiple countries all over the world into emergency situations? Disrupting the lives of billions of people? Really great job, Americans. Please do something about it

Paywall free, but makes you part of a DDOS attack

Just FYI: The claim that solar panels barely break even in regards of carbon is misinformation:

Indeed, the solar panels exported from China in 2024 will have paid off their “carbon debt” within an average of just four months, according to detailed recent analysis for Carbon Brief. Manufacturing the solar panels will have added some 72m tonnes of CO2 (MtCO2) to China’s emissions in 2024, but will cut them overseas by 203MtCO2 per year, the analysis found. In total, these solar panels will save some 4.1GtCO2 over their lifetimes, paying off the upfront “carbon debt” some 57 times over. Looked at another way, the lifecycle emissions of solar power are far lower than those of fossil fuels, as shown in the chart below, which is based on UN data published in 2021.

And since most solar panels are produced in China and China is rapidly building clean energy, that will also go down further in the future. Solar is great.

Be careful with what you are watching in the next few years. Hollywood gave itself a diverse face in the last few years. Put in black actors, had some strong women in lead roles, had some gay characters and so on. I’m afraid that we will see some movies pushing hart right MAGA topics in the next time. Movies that are pushing for traditional gender roles, have gay people as evil masterminds, immigrants as criminals and so on. We already saw that with all those movies with evil arab guys in the bush era. Hollywood was taken over by Trump’s tech billionaires, you will see this turn it in the media you are watching. That will influence you and maybe you shouldn’t watch such stuff

It totally depends on your living and garden conditions. If you have the space and the current climate for it you can totally use your garden to save money on groceries. This will not feed your whole household but can help to save some money and make everything more resilient. Plant an apple tree and you will maybe not have apples this year, but in the next year you can get your first apples. My tree is now 4 years old and is growing several kilos of apples every year and will for the next decades. Plant a cherry tree. Raspberries. Redcurrant. Other fruit trees. Those plants will grow every year and provide you with a lot of healthy food and will not take that much time to grow and cultivate. So it is a great time to start - you might get some results later this year, but next year will be great.

It’s spring in most of the northern hemisphere and therefore the next months are the best time to start a garden. Yes, chances are that you won’t feed your family from it. But it’s fun, it is a great way to get fresh food and if you have the option to do it, you should
