Pornainen’s battery is charged using electricity from the grid

How so, do they use heater resistors or a heat pump?

Electricity may be cheap sometimes but still, heater resistors aren't the most efficient.

French farmers do not want unfair competition from non-EU countries that have lower environmental standards, and that export crop produced using cheap and dangerous practices and pesticides banned in the EU.

The point is not refuse trade, but to keep negociating to have mirror measures : apply equivalent environmental standards for food that is produced locally and imported.

Doomscrolling can decrease the motivation to act, contribute to anxiety and analysis paralysis.

Banning communities can be helpful to avoid those that fuel doomscrolling rather than action.

Looking at you, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and member countries that still import fossiel fuels from Russia. The EU executive branch include all member countries' gouvernement. Every single one can block or delay foreign policy decisions, such as sanctions.

Robert F. Kennedy, long time vaccine scaremongerer, was appointed to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

He's already done various bad things, he's likely to do more bad and stupid things.

Soil is quite heavy. So a rooftop garden may require a reinforced building structure, which require extra resources. And insects and animals may try to settle on your rooftop garden. This kind of architecte look nice but often is a bad idea.

Put solar panels on rooftops, and create a garden on an empty lot. Not the other way around.

What makes you think this would only affect YouTube?

I doubt countries sharing a border with Ukraine or Russia would want to take that risk, but let's ses how these countries reply, if they even bother to.

It sounds like this is still at the R&D stage, not something we can count on today. This further reinforce the impression that most carbon credits are worthless and/or oversold.

DAC might contribute one day a little bit to fighting climate change, maybe. Don't hold your breath.

Mozilla announced Pocket is retiring on July 8th, 2025.

This Week in F-Droid lists multiples Pocket alternatives that have FOSS Android apps available in F-Droid.

Do you use any Pocket alternative on Android?

I haven't found one yet that check all my boxes, and would welcome recommandation. My ideal app is:

  • FOSS
  • Able to read aloud articles (text to speech integration)
  • Local first (no/optional server), or support a standard server protocol (eg webdav)

Wallabag seems to be FOSS and able to read aloud. But it require a server and doesn't support a standard storage protocol (eg Webdav). I'd like to keep my data private without having to maintain yet another server software installation.
