China’s Renewable Push Meets Climate Reality In Africa: Environmentalists worry that Beijing is playing a double game that is harming Africa in its fight against environmental injustice
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42785623
ArchivedChina is positioning itself as the world’s champion for renewable energy and has been heavily investing in the sector for the last 20 years. On the other hand, in order to support its renewables sector and consolidate the supply chain, it has also been financing mega-projects that exploit natural resources such as coal and oil — particularly in Africa.
Between development, dependence, and the energy transition, some environmentalists worry that China is playing a double game that is harming Africa in its fight against environmental injustice.
[...]
Some scholars have raised concerns that under the current model, large loans from China are further increasing its debt and putting some African countries in impossible financial positions.
In an analysis published in November 2023, Jana de Kluiver, a researcher specializing in Africa at the Institute for Security Studies, warned of growing concerns about Chinese loans in Africa: Research by AidData has shown that Chinese public lenders, motivated by profit, often include conditions in their loan agreements that can put a strain on already fragile African economies. These include bans on collective restructuring and strict confidentiality clauses. Such conditions can limit the ability of borrowing countries to make independent and sovereign financial decisions.
[...]
The numerous projects implemented with Chinese support have enormous consequences and local impacts. Massive population displacements benefit Chinese companies that set up shop to carry out projects. Deforestation and environmental degradation are detrimental to the livelihoods of local and vulnerable communities. Between inequalities and responsibilities, climate injustice is becoming increasingly glaring.
The FILIMBI citizen movement, a Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)-based pro democracy movement, spoke out against this dynamic in November 2024. According to an article by Projet AfriqueChine, the movement points the finger at Chinese illegal gold miners in the region for polluting the Arwini River in the northeast of the country.
[...]
Between promises of a greener Africa and the continued exploitation and use of carbon, coupled with the vulnerability of populations who, in addition to suffering the consequences of climate change, face social damage such as famine and lack of housing, the continent finds itself caught in the middle of conflicting interests.

China tries to mask its environmental destruction, control Scarborough Shoal with nature preserve
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42722173
ArchivedCountries around the globe condemned China’s hypocritical plans for a nature preserve on Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, where Beijing has wreaked environmental havoc with its artificial island-building as it seeks control over maritime territory to which it has no legal claim.
The Philippines faces constant coercion from China near the shoal and elsewhere inside its internationally recognized exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Beijing, which illegally claims most of the South China Sea, deploys coast guard, navy and maritime militia vessels to harass Philippine fishing, humanitarian missions, and routine military and law enforcement patrols. The aggression has continued even after an international tribunal’s 2016 ruling that invalidated China’s arbitrary claims to the South China Sea and found that Beijing violated Philippine rights to Scarborough Shoal.
Manila quickly denounced China’s declaration of an “island nature reserve” on the shoal. The move “is less about protecting the environment and more about justifying [China’s] control over a maritime feature that is part of the territory of the Philippines,” stated National Security Advisor Eduardo Año. “It is a clear pretext toward eventual occupation.”
[...]
Australia and Japan joined Indo-Pacific partners in calling for China to comply with the tribunal ruling, while the United Kingdom opposed “any unilateral activity that changes the facts on the ground and raises tensions in the South China Sea.”
Experts called China’s actions an example of lawfare — purposely misinterpreting the law to change the status quo — and pointed to Beijing’s history of causing environmental damage in the South China Sea.
“This isn’t environmental protection — it’s environmental lawfare,” Ray Powell, director of the SeaLight Project at Stanford University’s Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation, told the U.S. Naval Institute News. He cited “highly destructive methods” used by Chinese fishing crews and reports that Beijing has destroyed more than 1,800 hectares of coral reef in the South China Sea with its artificial island-building. The international tribunal also found that China harmed coral reefs and inflicted “irreparable damage to the marine environment.”
[...]
Beijing has long used encroachment in an attempt to exert control over its neighbors’ territory. Analysts say such gray-zone tactics — sometimes called salami slicing — are small enough to avoid a military response but accumulate to China’s benefit. Examples include:
- China’s aggressive interference with Philippine resupply missions to its military outpost on Second Thomas Shoal, which Beijing wants Manila to abandon.
- Beijing’s artificial island-building in the contested Paracel and Spratly chains. By militarizing the features, China hopes to establish de facto authority over economically important stretches of sea.
- Regular China Coast Guard intrusions near the Japan-administered Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, an effort to challenge Tokyo’s control over the resource-rich territory.
- Fish farms and marine platforms that Beijing built without permission where its EEZ overlaps with the Republic of Korea’s in the Yellow Sea.
- Military harassment of self-governed Taiwan, which China claims as its territory and threatens to annex by force.
- Infrastructure projects Beijing has built along its de facto border with India and Chinese patrols into disputed territory, all aimed at asserting authority and upending the status quo.

How Bill Gates is playing both sides of the climate crisis – video

While he funds green innovation and talks about cutting emissions, Gates also invests in dirty industries such as coal, oil and private jets.

"In August of 2025, President Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, declaring a ‘public safety emergency’ in Washington, D.C after citing rampant crime. Under this order, he could place the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) under federal control for 30 days. Between August 11 and September 10, over 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed alongside local forces to patrol the streets. During this time, over 40% of the arrests made in D.C. were immigration-related."

linuxanza di emergenza nei momenti di peggior viaggio mentale (installo Linux in autobus perché Windows si è rotto)
In questi giorni si è verificato un meme molto conosciuto ma altrettanto sgradito, e cioè che ho scoperto che Windows 10 sul mio portatile è corrotto malamente, chissà da quanto tempo e chissà perché… È corrotto al punto che durante l’uso normale non si nota nulla di particolarmente anomalo, al di là delle solite piccole stranezze che non si capisce mai se sono di design o no (si sa che Microsoft non può mai e poi mai fare software 100% funzionanti, altrimenti nessuno comprerebbe più le versioni successive, e loro andrebbero quindi in bancarotta), ma certa roba a livello di sistema non funziona… e l’ho scoperto veramente a caso, provando ad installare l’emulatore di Android Studio, che però da un errore incomprensibile nell’attivare il servizio di virtualizzazione… mentre, provare ad attivare quello interno di Windows fallisce con un avviso per cui il registro di sistema sarebbe corrotto. 😐La cosa veramente merdosa però, e davvero non so come facciano pure i fan più sfegatati di Windows a non odiare ancora Microsoft nonostante questi continui avvenimenti (che capitano non solo a me in particolare, ma scommetto a decine o centinaia di utenti al giorno in generale, in diverse salse), è che il sistema è totalmente irreparabile. Ho provato ad aggiornare a Windows 11 dalle impostazioni, sospettando potesse essere in realtà un complotto per farmelo fare… ma, alla fine, ha preso e annullato tutte le modifiche, in culo al mio tempo. Ho pure provato a reinstallare Windows 10 da ISO, con l’opzione di non formattare, ma ha fatto la stessa identica schifezza… e quindi… 😭
Lo schifo di Windows meriterà forse un ennesimo suo approfondimento, ma il punto è: visto che non posso e/o non voglio formattare il disco, ma dovrei farlo se voglio riparare ‘sto OS di merda… piuttosto, ne ho liberato quasi metà e ho deciso di installare (in dual boot) Linussy, cioè Linux ma sussy. (Semplicemente Fedora KDE Plasma, nessuna distribuzione strana, però non farebbe ridere detto così.) Ok, il sistema operativo non sarà intrinsecamente sussy, ma il mio processo di installazione si, visto che, tra tutti i posti del pianeta Terra, è avvenuto proprio… in autobus (quindi, tecnicamente, in più posti contemporaneamente, che è doppiamente assurdo). Almeno, questa era l’idea iniziale, venuta un po’ per l’estremo potenziale memetico, e in altra parte per ottimizzare il tempo, evitando di privarmi del portatile nei momenti in cui poteva servirmi… 😤
Ovviamente, nemmeno i piani che faccio per ridere vanno mai a buon fine. Avrei dovuto fare questa cosa ieri mattina, ma ho dovuto prima perdere tempo a comprimere la partizione NTFS per ricavare spazio utile dal disco… per 2 volte, perché farlo da Esplora Risorse non ha sortito effetto alcuno (…però il tempo me lo ha sprecato tutto… oh, va bene il registro corrotto, ma a me questa installazione sembra proprio affetta da una maledizione…), e quindi ho dovuto poi farlo di nuovo da riga di comando (e lì ha funzionato). Da ieri mattina, allora, sono arrivata alla sera tardissimo, e ho quindi dovuto di nuovo posticipare il momento Linux in sé… a stamattina, con una nuova fresca occasione autobussiaca. Beh, stamane mi sono ricordata che la mia chiavetta con Ventoy era mezza sfatta, vedendo che la ISO di Linux scaricata la sera prima non si avviava, e ho dovuto perdere altro tempo… a copiare tutti i file dalla pennetta al PC, formattare la pennetta, e ricopiare tutto sopra; l’intera mattinata di lezioni (ma nel mentre il computer era operativo, chiaramente, quindi non un problema). 🥱
Alla fine, sembrava che l’installazione vera sarebbe avvenuta nell’autobus di ritorno di oggi, ed ero così vicina a vedere ciò essere il caso… ma, purtroppo, rimpicciolire la partizione di Windows per fare spazio per Linux ha impiegato praticamente l’intero tragitto, e quindi alla fine dei conti Fedora si è installato quando io ero già bella a casina, a pranzo. Però… nell’autobus ho avviato il sistema live di Linux, e anche l’installer, pure se intanto ho dovuto perdere tempo con il gestore delle partizioni, quindi… si può dire che, almeno a metà, ho effettivamente installato Linux in un pullman??? Se si, questa cosa fa così tanto utente Linux che credo di meritarmi sticker gratis, o qualcosa del genere… 😈
Comunque, appurato che Fetora funziona, finché non escono problemi non farò nessun aggiornamento di sistema, mai; aggiorno solo le app (rigorosamente Flatpak) e vedremo se, in questo modo, finalmente avrò un sistema Linux desktop che non si spacca puntualmente da solo con il troppo uso… anche se, venendo da Windows su quel portatile, che si spacca puntualmente da solo con il troppo uso pur senza fare aggiornamenti, forse non dovrei lamentarmi comunque. (E a parte tutto, sono stata relativamente sculata in questa impresa, perché il portatile acceso nel mio zaino con la chiavetta inserita c’è entrato a filissimo… altrimenti, dovendo scendere dall’autobus erano cazzi, perché ovviamente non potevo interrompere la modifica delle partizioni a metà. Anche questa, però, è linuxeria.) 👌👌👌
(P.S., dedicato a chi non crede nella mia potenza… Anche se purtroppo non si vede benissimo, dai bordi delle foto si nota l’ambiente autobus; godete, è tutto reale!!!)

How safe is web archive for software?
Ive seen that there are software you can download on web archive (archive.org), but it isnt listed in the megathread.

You are technically correct, in the literal sense that managers and executives have work to do.
It should be noted, however, that it is the workers (not the company owners/investors) that create all the products that are up for sale and the infrastructure necessary to begin production (e.g., roads, bridges, electricity, education, etc.). Hence, when a CEO say that they "built" the company, they are obfuscating the exploitation of the labor of workers who transform raw materials into all the useful commodities we enjoy.
But in the end the worst are the owners and investors who litteraly just steal.
