I'd love if this poll was seen by many more people.

Yes, most sexual child abusers are #straight / #heterosexual and not attracted to children, but that isn't what #FarRight wants to hear.

It does seem that the #billionaires are completely okay with mass-scale #death of not just flora and fauna but also #humans
The language emanating from various opponents of even minor actions to #mitigate #climatechange and #adapt to it seems to be hardening
This is no longer about #countries but about classes and it is #global
Dunno how we deal with this. I write stories with #plutocrats as villains and the poor as the protagonists.

@kevinrns @mariyadelano
The cheapness of individual units and the continuing design is a factor, essential, but the most significant difference is that a couple of panels to charge phones, or a dozen to run a house, or a hundred for a village, can be put together piecemeal.And if one breaks, one breaks.
Whereas a 2GWe fission generator is neither built incrementally nor fails gracefully.

If you aren't headed to #openSource only, you might want to try #VivaldiBrowser. It's against #integrated #AI.

@kevinrns @ChrisMayLA6 @beemoh I don't think anyone is downplaying the risks (or dark sides) of technology, especially on fedi where I found #enshittification and #TESCREAL
I use a wide-ranging definition of technology, not just high technology: writing, clothing, monetary systems, hand washing with soap, etc.
As Ivan #illich Marshall #McLuhan and others have noted: we shape our tools, and our tools shape us.
We need to be aware of who's doing what, why, and--most importantly--who's benefitting. For example, the litany of misuses of technology by @pluralistic https://pluralistic.net/2025/07/30/efficiency-washing/

@kevinrns Neither.
#JeffreyEpstein is from #NewYork and attended #math classes at Cooper Union (open admission) and #NYU (didn’t graduate) before being hired to teach #Mathematics to teenage girls and boys by the father of #BillBarr (who was the Attorney General when #Epstein died mysteriously in federal prison). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein

@kevinrns I already grow most my own veggies for the winter in garden boxes. Have to spend some time time removing the sprouts off the potatoes lately, soon have to sort them out for continued eating & planting. Growing veggies is easy (I generally mostly ignore mine) can be done depending on your space(s), ingenuity & capability. #canning #freezing #drying

Ah, right. I suspect the Felon-in-Chief's stochastic terrorism is responsible for that. Public figures don't want the abuse-and-threats firehose turned on them.

@kevinrns Your interesting choice of words (Sahara-fication rather than Desertification) prompted me to do some research...
What Really Turned the #SaharaDesert From a Green Oasis Into a Wasteland?
10,000 years ago, this iconic desert was unrecognizable. A new hypothesis suggests that humans may have tipped the balance
by Lorraine Boissoneault
March 24, 2017Excerpt: "'By overgrazing the grasses, they were reducing the amount of atmospheric moisture—plants give off moisture, which produces clouds—and enhancing albedo,' Wright said. He suggests this may have triggered the end of the humid period more abruptly than can be explained by the orbital changes. These nomadic humans also may have used fire as a land management tool, which would have exacerbated the speed at which the desert took hold.
"It’s important to note that the green Sahara always would’ve turned back into a desert even without humans doing anything—that’s just how Earth’s orbit works, says geologist Jessica Tierney, an associate professor of geoscience at the University of Arizona. Moreover, according to Tierney, we don’t necessarily need humans to explain the abruptness of the transition from green to desert.
"Instead, the culprits might be regular old vegetation feedbacks and changes in the amount of dust. 'At first you have this slow change in the Earth’s orbit,' Tierney explains. 'As that’s happening, the West African monsoon is going to get a little bit weaker. Slowly you’ll degrade the landscape, switching from desert to vegetation. And then at some point you pass the tipping point where change accelerates.'
"Tierney adds that it’s hard to know what triggered the cascade in the system, because everything is so closely intertwined. During the last humid period, the Sahara was filled with hunter-gatherers. As the orbit slowly changed and less rain fell, humans would have needed to domesticate animals, like cattle and goats, for sustenance. 'It could be the #climate was pushing people to herd cattle, or the #overgrazing practices accelerated denudation [of foliage],' Tierney says.
"Which came first? It’s hard to say with evidence we have now. “The question is: How do we test this hypothesis?” she says. 'How do we isolate the climatically driven changes from the role of humans? It’s a bit of a chicken and an egg problem.' Wright, too, cautions that right now we have evidence only for correlation, not causation.
"But Tierney is also intrigued by Wright’s research, and agrees with him that much more research needs to be done to answer these questions."

@TheKeymaker @Linknation @kevinrns @pschanen
In #education, we refer to this as #ExpertBias.
Easy for you is not necessarily easy for anyone else.
Mint is easiER than some other distros, but it is not easy.
Changing your OS means changing your apps, too.

And how many #nuclearplants were restarted since #Fukushima? Ugh! @kevinrns @ai6yr

This will not help with clean up or sweeping, the environment will be replaced by oily mud, because no one forms community groups to protect oily mud.

Powerful, brilliant, political speech.
Worth your time.

Its mastodon, its a hashtag town.
Add #fedihired and #getFediHired and others -
Hawaii is going even further. Passed a law specifically identifying corporations as fictions set up by states and in no way the equivalent of "persons" and have no human rights like speech. Making Citizens United null and void.
Every legislature must study. Let's Go!

Hey civil servants, hey back benchers hey anyone - put a wooden shoe in the works, slow type the agreements, call up critical.issues, get it referred to Parliament investigate their ties to Mandelson who arranged for these pedos.
Slow it to a stop, cancel it, and GET RID OF STARMER.
