  • ‘Suicidal’ model of capitalism leading to war and fascism, climate summit told

  • Almost as cool. Well. In the case of uranium, hot.

    Weirdly, they spell it properly in the article text.

  • French climate envoy, said it went further than the country’s national plan under the Paris agreement. For decades, nuclear power has supplied most of France’s electricity and this will be supplemented by an increase in renewables. “This process has made us realise we want to be an electro-superpower,” said Faraco. “We want to be the electricity Saudi Arabia of Europe, selling green electrons to the UK, Ireland, Germany and other countries.”

    Fuck yeah, eurobros.

  • Canada Should Be Leading a Geothermal Power Boom | The Tyee

    Jump

  • B.C. is particularly blessed with near-surface geothermal resources ... One such site is Mount Meager, near Pemberton, where temperatures of 290 C were measured only three kilometres below the surface. In geothermal terms, that is like striking gold.

    ...

    Canada has a competitive edge in geothermal energy — one that can truly make us an energy superpower. By deploying our own expertise towards geothermal innovation across our broad spectrum of geological settings, we can unlock vast resources of clean, firm, renewable heat and power. Canadians are already doing this around the world. It’s time to turn this expertise towards our own resources.

    But how will this help the oligarchs? /s

    The tap to link idea is fun though.

  • What would help parents keep their kids safe online?

    Jump

  • I've got a bunch:

    • It should be possible to manage my kids' access to all services from third party apps. Like, I want to say "no voice comms anywhere" without having to fuss with each terrible janky UI.

    • There should be required messaging standards. Let me choose emails (or texts, or whatever) for friend requests, weekly summaries, etc.

    • Tell me who manages my kids' friends accounts.

    • There should be a standard, easy easy to register an account for parental controls. I don't want to dig through out-of-date support docs to try and figure out how to link my account to my kids' accounts.

    Parenting is just hard, y'all.

    Jump

  • There's lots of infrastructure that could help:

    • requirements on how children are identified in parental control apps,
    • requiring APIs so third party apps can manage parental controls,
    • requiring standardized language in UIs so parents know what their kids are in for,
    • required messaging for various events - I wanna get a goddamn email instead of a notification on an app I never use
    • not requiring parents to use the service their kids are using

    Being able to use a third party app to manage everything would be perfect.

    Parenting is just hard, y'all.

    Jump

  • I have at least six parental control apps that I need to manage. Each one is different and has different ways of expressing the same things. They all require different accounts and have different ways of identifying my kids.

    It would be fucking amazing to have some standardization, or, even better, a single interface that would control all those stupid apps. A unified view of my kids interactions, friend requests, usage time, etc would be really helpful.

  • Summit is great.

    • Swipe can be configured to do lots on posts and comments (upvote, downvote, reply, other stuff I don't use)

  • "focus stealing" ought to be a solved problem by now...

    Jump

  • Maybe. It's just one of those things that bugs me about social media: downvotes without comments discourage interaction and weaken our community.

  • It explains the "my wife" reference, which isn't immediately clear from the statement about "my husband". At least to my pop culture illiterate brain.

  • What tv show has the best theme song?

    Jump

  • I feel like GoT wins, both for the theme and the intro itself. It's instantly recognizable.

    I like the Expanse theme, but I don't think I would know it if I heard it out of context.
