Australia's hypocrisy is ubiquitous on much of this

Australia has the worst record of any nation for jailing and abusing climate protestors, as one example of perhaps not throwing stones

Australia leads the world in arresting climate and environment protesters

We regually kill people in custody, yet to see any black lies matter protests in Australia becase we give few fucks.

I find the entire thing bemusing as though we aren't sone of the worst arseholes in the world, we send people who legally arrive in Australia to internment camps off shore, were they are treated so badly they suicide. We deport "criminals" overseas Now (like the US is doing) we sieze and copy peoples computers and phones at the border, we have invasive anti privacy laws and when some other country does it we get "oh my god" here.

I thought he was actually denied entry becase he was found to be lying on his visa over past drug use, where he had, but said he hadn't ?

I have one as well (own launcher aa well) but the perennial "when in heck will they update it" becomes an issue. It is getting old now. I use Kodi and YT Next mostly but supplemnt that with some local Australia FTA TV apps (ABC and SBS). I mean where else can we get such awesome TV as "Black As"

New Climate Study Highlights Dire Sea Level Warnings (insideclimatenews.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/23375465

A new set of detailed clues gleaned from ancient fossil reefs on the Seychelle Islands shows an increasing likelihood that human-caused warming will raise the global average sea level at least 3 feet by 2100, at the high end of the projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Due to regional variations, sea level would rise twice that much in some tropical areas, causing misery for millions of people living in low-lying coastal zones, including islands like the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean, which would be completely swamped by 6 feet of sea level rise.

We live in interesting times (in the Chinese.proverb sense)

Brisbane civil and environmental engineer Alan Hoban said what used to be considered a worst case scenario for how global warming will impact rainfall is now looking more likely.

What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (11 children)

Sorry to thread jack. One little app I miss from Windows is a simple screengrab annotator? Wondering if people have anything to recommend.

Eg to circle some on screen text, add an arrow and maybe add some of my own text.

I cant get my Loigtech KB to screen grab, so I just use the Screengrab app in Mint, which is fine but zero annotation abilities.

I have tried Flameshot but it is a shitshow and doesn't work properly and is unstable (for me) and doesn't allow me to put it in the clipboard and paste in say Signal.

Nice little chart from Zack Labe on Mastodon about Artic amplifcation. Alas Zack is one of NOAAs employees that was fired by DOGE.

Not sure how you post a Mastodon link on Lemmy.

The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice in c/[email protected]

Grab a 1 TB nvme, take the Widows one out, install the new SSD boot the USB thumbdrive, install Bazzite (or Mint) and off you go, that's all I did. I'm running LMDE but not a big gamer, so the little I do play all works on Mint Debian Edition.

If it all gives you the shits after a time, just put the old SSD back in and boot back into Windows.

Climate models with low sensitivity to greenhouse gases do not align with satellite measurements (phys.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/23230801

Climate models that give a low warming from increases in greenhouse gases do not match satellite measurements. Future warming will likely be worse than thought unless society acts, according to a new study published in Science.

So, worse then thought then, we are after all barely pretending to reduce emissions amd in many cases weve eschewed even that.

‘Like an underwater bushfire’: SA’s marine algal bloom is still killing almost everything in its path (theconversation.com)
 

South Australian beaches have been awash with foamy, discoloured water and dead marine life for months. The problem hasn’t gone away; it has spread.

This bloom represents a stark warning to coastal communities, as well as tourism, seafood and aquaculture industries. It’s a sign of what’s to come, in Australia and around the world, as the oceans warm.

Carbon capture company emits more than it captures (climateandcapitalism.com)
 

Between April 2021 and October 2024, British physicist Michael de Podesta paid £40 per month to carbon capture company Climeworks. In return, the company promised to remove 50 kilograms of carbon dioxide each month. But in September 2024, de Podesta wrote that “when I checked the other day they had removed precisely no CO₂ from the atmosphere”.

The following day, de Podesta wrote, “I conclude that I am indeed a gullible idiot.”

Climateworks’ business model involves selling carbon credits for CO₂ that it hopes to capture in the future

Good scam if you can convince people...so have they convinced anyone

Microsoft, UBS, Morgan Stanley, Stripe, Shopify, British Airways, Lego, Swiss Air, PwC, and TikTok.

Oh /s

I guess "in the future" is a promise you can always give, like "free beeer tomorrow"
