@HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu well done. Now get the money from them and google and meta... And while you're at it, do something about tech collaborations with rogue states. Like stopping all collaborations with Israel until they start behaving like reasonable people.

@hexamander@infosec.exchange @emilymbender@dair-community.social this. so you now imagine the same thing with biology texts and you end up with fallopian tubes in the male reproductive system.

@meltedcheese@c.im @ZLabe@fediscience.org Hi David, I'm glad you asked and I'm sure that Zack is more qualified than me to answer. That said, your question points to something that many non-technical people don't appreciate - that the atmosphere is dynamic and the effects of the components depend on their chemical structures, their concentrations and how long they hang around, which makes comparison difficult (and difficult to understand for non-technical people). CO2 hangs around for thousands of years NO is more than 100 years CH4 (methane) is about 12 years. So while methane is more powerful, major reductions can have a quicker effect.

@benfry@information.garden I found this example of this general anthropomorphizing in a BBC article about the OpenAI-Hugging Face hack. Quote: " "In some sense, it knew that this was not what the creators intended. It just didn't care," he added." It is not conscious so it cannot "know" and if it cannot "know" it cannot "care". And yet, this cyber security expert is ascribing human attributes to it and describing it as if it were a bad person. Complex systems exhibit can unexpected emergent behaviours, that doesn't mean that they are conscious. Are we witnessing folklore like explanations in action? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdrvy3pn3r0o

@klausman@mas.to @nixCraft@mastodon.social exactly this. People get called Luddites by people who don't know their arse from their elbow.

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social Sorry to be a pedant, a Law is the hardest it gets. You can't fuck around with the Laws of Gravity. Theories come and go and many are a work in progress: some withstand the test of experiment and observation better than others as the theory gets better and better at explaining all the facets of a phenomenon. However, as far as lay people are concerned, science as a constantly moving feast goes against the absolutism promoted by many non-scientists to justify the shit they come out with.

@danish_akhtar7@mastodon.social @Tutanota@mastodon.social it should sprout a big red-nose and a green curly hair wig every time it is switched on. then we'd know.

@W_Lucht@mstdn.social @Umweltbundesamt@social.bund.de can we get an Italian version and send it to that cretin Picchetto Fratin in the Italian government who insists that nuclear is the only option for the country that has on average >2000h sunshine per year.

@FranceskaMann@freeradical.zone @arstechnica@mastodon.social Lot's of ships biscuits, bottled water and gold. I wonder the security staff are going to do when the biscuits run out and there is no economy to spend the gold.

@ZLabe@fediscience.org Relative potencies compared to CO2: CO2 = 1 Methane = 28 Nitrous Oxide = 265 Which means, molecule for molecule, CH4 and NO are better at trapping heat.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run trust: once it's gone, it's gone

@FrChazzz@mastodon.social @licho@kolektiva.social @Galley@mastodon.online @peter@thepit.social that looks like a meme...

@jon@social.vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net I stumbled across Opera a few years ago and liked it. I came across Vivaldi last year and like it even more - particularly the social part, although I'm really just beginning to learn my way around. Great work! Thanks for what you do!

@alterelefant@mastodontech.de @AlSweigart@mastodon.social exactly - "if you couldn't be bothered to write it, why should I be bothered to read it."

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange the answer is salad. Lot's of it. Followed by fruit. Lot's of it.

@lorenzo @echo_pbreyer@digitalcourage.social it's because the Italian politicians are scared of what the chatcontrol will find - knowing how Italian politics is a paragon of virtue and populated by people with only the best interests of the country at heart (not).

@cefurby@alaskan.social @ZLabe@fediscience.org I second that. Phenomenal graphic. This leads me to a question... does the "man/woman in the street" actually know what "heat" is and how it is not the same as temperature. Because if they don't, this is just a pretty graphic when for someone with a science background, this is actually a great visualization of a rather abstract idea.

@maxleibman@beige.party I can think of several things to shower them with.

@neutronstar@infosec.exchange @rotopenguin@mastodon.social @cczona@hachyderm.io actually, this is the established model in the school system in Italy. Every year, every text book, a new edition. Little if any new content but certainly a new price. And this was before AI. Now it will just be turbocharged. The only thing is that there are limits set by the ministry of education but the problem remains.

@AnnaKukka@wien.rocks The first time I went in the 90's it was like walking into a bar off the main saquare with stradivari in glass cases and no explanations. This version is much better and the building itself has an interesting history as the Palazzo Dell'Arte which focused on promoting the craft of the local luthiers in the 1930s-40s.

@AnnaKukka@wien.rocks @globalmuseum@mastodon.online I visited the Museo del Violino in Cremona a couple of years ago. If you are in the area (Milano - Brescia - Piacenza) it is a really well worth a visit. The collection has been moved to a modern building from the 1940s (Italian modernist/futurist style?) and it is stunning. https://museodelviolino.org/home3/?lang=it Cremona also has the Torrazza which is worth the climb.

@essjax@m.essjax.com @cmconseils@mastodon.social they're there anyway, you just can't see them!

@martinus@mastodon.art wow. reminds me of Theo Jansen's strandbeests. https://www.strandbeest.com

@alex@dair-community.social @DAIR@dair-community.social this needs a t-shirt to spread the message. Something along the lines of "This is what a Luddite looks like".

@boricua_yakuza@infosec.exchange @sb@metroholografix.ca @mttaggart@infosec.exchange and since they are elected, when its time, they should be de-elected

@FandaSin@social.linux.pizza @maxleibman@beige.party it's been around a long time - we used it when I was a student back when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us What I don't understand in these cases, is how it is legal that this is hidden from the juries. Lying by omission is still lying. Is this a consequence of Labour's law-making?

@minouette@spore.social Fantastic! The composition is so good on so many levels.

@CStamp@mastodon.social depends on the dish! Rice salad yes! Rice pudding and risotto NOOOOOO!

@Tamtam@mastodon.de @RuthSalter@mastodon.scot not sure that Antonio Gramsci could really be regarded as an "alpha male" (I think he was physically rather challenged), I do agree with your point though.

@cmconseils cool!

@EUCommission Very good. now do something about THIS: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/17/microsoft-us-tech-firms-lobbied-eu-secrecy-rules-datacentre-emissions

@sellathechemist thanks - a really useful insight into the current state of things. Going electric 120 years late, but better late than never.

@ProPublica@newsie.social “"This administration is not paying attention to the data,” one expert said." The people in this administration wouldn't know data if it fell on them from a great height. And if they did somehow manage to identify it, since they can't count beyond four, they wouldn't know what to do with it. https://youtu.be/u8ccGjar4Es?t=2

@iagox86@infosec.exchange @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems Great read, so on the mark. Thanks!

@medieval_illuminations trumpet monkeys - that could be a good insult in an orchestra.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt or is that a layer of thick men...

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I believe in the EU, however, there are some things you need to sort out: GROW A PAIR and 1) STOP COLLABORATING AND ENGAGING WITH GENOCIDAL NEOCOLONIAL APARTHEID STATE ISRAEL. 2) PUSH BACK ON US BIGTECH. FINE THE FUCKERS. 3) TALK ABOUT PRIVACY? THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT VPN. All caps closed. I do believe in the EU. Honestly.

@Opus_Fluke@discordian.social @GrumpyOldFart@expressional.social @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk or the Daily Heil

@dianea@lgbtqia.space is that a real octopuss?

@c_9@mstdn.ca General question, does anyone have good references to large scale electrical storage technologies currently deployed or about to be deployed and how they interface with the grids across the world?

@Extelec@mstdn.social plus ça change

@parismarx@mastodon.online scary stuff - our lives in their hands. And why is this so? Because in the British Parliament (Westminster, not the Senedd or Holyrood) while there are plenty of graduates, very few have a science or technical background (no, economics is counted as applied literature as it is really science fiction). So they are like Dorkins, intelligent enough but not in the required field. And why is this so (five whys strikes again)... ...because scientific subjects at school are too hard (no) and require a bit more brain work (yes). and at uni these subjects are harder and do not really give you the social connections for politics compared to PPE from Cambridge. article: https://studee.com/discover/mps-and-their-degrees The data is a little old (2019) but it will be fairly representative.

@Gergovie@piaille.fr @infobeautiful@vis.social Jared thought about that as the title of his first book, but his publisher suggested he try again.

@celeduc@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu oh that would do. I'd add "punitive" to stop them from screwing society.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al this is what happened to South Africa in the 70s and 80s (I remember the campaigning). Total isolation until the whole thing became untenable. Unfortunately, here we are dealing with zealots in the true sense of the word.

@goedelchen@mastodontech.de @juergen_hubert@mementomori.social this is a very valid point - words can mean very different things in different contexts and scientists often make the mistake of assuming that their definition of the word is what is generally understood.
