@dajbelshaw interesting journey!
What comes to my mind when comparing #5G with 4G: 5G has (by design) lower range and higher electricity consumption.
Interesting is also the difference between classic copper #boradband and full fibre connection. The later is not only faster but also has a better #co2 footprint.
So, your friend did a good catch with the full fibre connection.

To be fair, its probably important to take time out from #housingBubble support.

Stripped down to the lowest common denomination? I suppose it assists the #algorithm
Personally, I find this increasing need & reliance on #ai to be worrying in the extreme.
I am very much with #rushkoff on this one, be on #teamhuman. #educationisahumanright -

I'm not looking forward to when I need to help our son with #math, despite getting good grades myself at the time.
Fortunately he's only 2, so I have plenty of time to revise material myself. 😂
It's one of the many things learnt at school that I basically chucked out of my mind for things I deemed more useful to my daily life the moment I graduated...(Though looking at what the #demoscene is doing with #GLSL in a #ShaderShowdown makes me regret doing that with some of it...)

@dajbelshaw nobody has to justify themselves to anyone else, ever. Totally agree that the ideology of the internet as a permanent kangaroo court -where everyone is on trial and everyone else is judge, jury, and executioner - is a cancer. #JonRonson did a really good #TEDTalk about how destructive this #PublicShaming culture can be:

If I recall correctly, #Friendica uses ! as a prefix for mentioning Friendica Forum names.Then there's of course IRC, where # basically comes from as a network-wide channel name prefix. Some #ircd software supports & as prefix for local (as in server-only, rather than network-wide) channels.

I wonder if there is a name for things like this and #spring83 yet

Since many in this thread are familiar with the #DoOO space and are on WordPress, I'll mention that I've been tinkering with a few plugins that make my personal website look like a stand alone instance/server of Mastodon where the only user is me. Some details here: https://boffosocko.com/2022/04/25/55804148/ and I'll mention that I'm happy to help anyone who needs help trying to set the plugins up. -
Time for my #introduction ✊🏼
My day job is about managing the space where formal education meets Wikimedia in Sweden.
I'm an open education advocate and I share my Wikipedia skills with whomever may seek them. Based in Stockholm.
I joined social.coop because an alternative needs to be governed differently and great people like @clhendricksbc and @dajbelshaw have only ever led me to good stuff.

Every platform seems to want either:
a) participants to register before even seeing the page which outlines which evidence is required,
or
b) to charge a whole load of money for custom branding, turning yourself into a mini-university or similar
This is not what the original dream of Open Badges was all about, and definitely not #OpenRecognition

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!
#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves
By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024London CNN — "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.
"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — in the #NorthSea.
"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 — a major ring road around London — bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.
"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.
"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.
"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.
"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.
"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.
"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.
“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.
"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."
