There's a Musky stink around here... find me on Mastodon @[email protected] or Bluesky @moybius.bsky.social

@actgovernment The https://t.co/aWyqY2RwAS link is broken. Moral of the story: don’t use link shorteners, just post the original URL. Another moral of the story: stop posting on Xitter :)

@gpdawson I agree re Google search results quality declining… I’ve been happily using (paid) Kagi search for the last few months

[Rauli Partanen @Kaikenhuippu]

Sooo.. Germany is capable of bringing mothballed power plants online. But only coal power plants, not recently shut #nuclear plants? You gotta be kidding me.

[Matt Andrews @moybius]

@gpdawson Interesting… my macOS Twitter app is still working (though I don’t use it much - I’m on Mastodon far more than Twitter now)

@bobbyllew @FullyChargedShw There is one in Australia which has been pretty effective: @EVCouncil

Whether the topic is:

- Climate change
- GMOs
- Nuclear power
- Vaccines
- Homeopathy
- Astronomy
- Evolution
- or Covid-19...

...People who disagree most with the scientific consensus know less about the topic, but they think they know more.

Amazing scene. Maldivian divers Faya, Niya & Firaaz manages to free this whale shark, truly heroic work in Olhigiri Kandu, Thaa Atoll this morning. The shark is injured should make a full recovery. So important to reduce marine pollution that can harm wildlife. Well done divers.

First night of Germany's grid without nuclear: it's bad.

It's night. No sun. Wind has dropped to almost nothing.

Most of German "renewables" right now is richly-subsidized bioenergy with half the net CO2 emissions of an efficient gas power plant.

Importing nuclear from France.

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

[Ed Hawkins @ed_hawkins]

We are already experiencing the consequences of our warming world & are now at a climate crossroads.
The choices we make now will determine the future experiences of those already alive, and those yet to be born.

If we choose not to act,
Or fail to adapt,
Then suffer we will.

@gpdawson I’d suggest having a look at Vultr for hosting. With HTTPS certs, Let’s Encrypt (certbot) via the command line is free and easy.

@canberratimes Will you be dropping Dilbert after this (not to mention Adams' long history of ridiculous climate denial) ? https://t.co/HWokFsuamZ

"Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, went on a racist rant this week on his Coffee with Scott Adams online video show, and we will no longer carry his comic strip in The Plain Dealer," writes Chris Quinn. "This is not a difficult decision." https://t.co/tF7tN9SrXc

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user"

Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

MYTH: radiation is uniquely dangerous, and there’s no safe exposure – no matter how small.

REALITY: the idea of “no safe exposure” has caused far more harm to public health than actual radiation from all nuclear accidents.

Here's what you need to know:

[Matt Andrews @moybius]

@lesstenny Exactly. All those right wing nut jobs don't realise "woke" is a compliment

[Matt Andrews @moybius]

@PhillipAdams_1 I'd suggest trying Mastodon - you don't have to leave Twitter to do that! Mastodon is generally much more civilised (now that Musk has empowered the RWNJs), and as a large network of independent nodes it can never be taken over by a delusional billionaire.

@Constababble @ConversationEDU Not to mention the “spicy lurgy” (Covid) as opposed to just the “lurgy” (flu/cold/whatever)

[Extreme Temperatures Around The World @extremetemps]

(1) The mother of all extreme events ever seen in Europe is NOW. 1st of many tweets coming.
In #France 113 January records so far!
Temperatures up to 24.9C at Trois Ville.
See list of only the 1st category stations (otherwise the list would be too long) of the records beaten.
