Wikimedia Signs Statement Supporting Digital Rights of Memory Institutions - Internet Archive Europe
Wikimedia Foundation has signed onto the 4 Digital Rights of Memory Institutions, affirming memory institutions' rights to Collect, Preserve, Lend & Cooperate in the digital age.
Wikimedia, one of the world’s leading champions of free knowledge and open access, has signed the Statement on the Four Digital Rights of Memory Institutions, joining a growing number of organizations worldwide that are calling for the legal rights needed to preserve and provide access to knowledge in the digital age.
By signing the Statement, Wikimedia reinforces the growing international movement that calls for legal reform on four essential rights that ensure long-term preservation and access:
1) Right to Collect
1) Right to Preserve
1) Right to Lend
1) Right to Cooperate
These rights are not abstract. They underpin the ability of institutions to continue their public mission: collecting digital materials, preserving them for future generations, lending them fairly, and cooperating across borders to make knowledge accessible to all.

EU climate chief vows to push China on 'disappointing' climate target, says Beijing’s stance risks derailing Paris Agreement targets
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42946561
ArchivedEU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra plans to push Beijing to go beyond its pledge – unveiled by President Xi Jinping on Wednesday – to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7-10% from peak levels by 2035, a target far below what NGOs and analysts hoped for.
[...]
“This level of ambition [by China] is clearly disappointing, and given China’s immense footprint, it makes reaching the world’s climate goals significantly more challenging,” the climate commissioner said on Thursday morning.
“We will continue to push China (and others) to go beyond the current level of ambition, and respect our joint commitments under the Paris Agreement,” he said.
Analysts shared Hoekstra’s disappointment.
[...]
“With the EU and others still struggling to row forward, China could be hoisting its sails and leading the way,” said Kate Logan, director of the China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute. Instead, the “underwhelming” 7-10% target represented a missed opportunity to deliver real leadership, she said.
[...]
This assessment echoed comments by Belinda Schäpe, a China policy analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, who spoke immediately after Xi’s announcement.
The 7-10% emission cut was “far below what would be required to align with the Paris Agreement targets,” Schäpe said, arguing that the required CO2 reduction would have been around 30%, compared to 2024 levels.

“Trump wants fossil fuels and the United States is indeed a powerful petro-state,” Bremmer said. “But letting China become the world’s sole powerful electro-state is the opposite of making America great again … at least if you care about the future.”
One thing i've come to understand is that america does not at all seem to care even the slightest bit about having a future. Which, in my opinion, is super weird because it says in the bible (that the christians revere so much) that "when your messiah comes [for the second time] and you happen to have a sapling in your hand, plant the sapling first, then go see the messiah". Which means, especially if you consider it to be the "end times", that doesn't mean you should just not care about what happens after. You should still plant the tree, even if it takes 20 years for it to grow up and produce meaningful amounts of fruit.
But i guess something about wanting to have a future is "communist" or something.
These are absurdly modest goals considering that their previous 2030 pledges are on track to be achieved by 2027, and these 2035 goals by 2028. All of these goals without any growth in renewables, just continuing pace. They (or I guess someone else) would literally need to nuke their solar production plants from orbit to fail on this track.
Unclear why make such modesty. Invite US to think more fossil fuel investment is smart?

Summer 2025 is the warmest on record for the UK
Provisional Met Office statistics confirm that summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK.
Analysis by Met Office climate scientists has also shown that a summer as hot or hotter than 2025 is now 70 times more likely than it would be in a ‘natural’ climate with no human caused greenhouse gas emissions.
The UK’s mean temperature from 1 June to 31 August stands at 16.10°C, which is 1.51°C above the long-term meteorological average. This surpasses the previous record of 15.76°C, set in 2018, and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top five warmest summers in a series dating back to 1884.
Met Office scientist Dr Emily Carlisle said: “Provisional Met Office statistics show that summer 2025 is officially the warmest on record with a mean temperature of 16.10°C, surpassing the previous record of 15.76°C set in 2018.
“The persistent warmth this year has been driven by a combination of factors including the domination of high-pressure systems, unusually warm seas around the UK and the dry spring soils. These conditions have created an environment where heat builds quickly and lingers, with both maximum and minimum temperatures considerably above average.”
1976, which had a mean temperature of 15.70°C, has now dropped out of the top five warmest summers since records began in 1884, leaving all five warmest summers having occurred since 2000.

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.

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.

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!!!)

Der landschaftliche Wert von Müllhalden ist ja doch eher gering. Aber wir leben ja im einundzwanzigsten Jahrhundert: die moderne Technik könnte es uns glatt erlauben, Gegenstände auch zu reparieren. Vorausgesetzt natürlich, dass der Hersteller nicht aktiv Vorkehrungen dagegen getroffen hat...
Lass es uns gemeinsam herausfinden: Wir helfen dir bei Reparaturen aller Art. Und wir helfen dir dabei, einen Computer, von dem Microsoft meint, dass er ab Oktober auf den Müll gehört (weil er kein Windows 11 unterstützt), dank einer einfachen Linux-Version noch weitere zwanzig Jahre zu benutzen. Mit einer Geschwindigkeit, die dich überraschen dürfte.
Wann? An diesem Samstag, den 26. September 2025, von 13 bis 18 Uhr
Wo? Theodor-Körner-Str. 7, 69115 Heidelberg
Barrierefreier Zugang: über die Rampe im Hinterhof, erreichbar durch das Tor im Gebäude Czernyring 2/1 oder das Tor im Gebäude Theodor-Körner-Str. 11.
Vorher findet von 11 bis 13 Uhr unser linkes Frühstück statt. Hierzu bist du ebenfalls herzlich eingeladen!

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.

in reply to supersquirrel • • •They're doing the same to the NPS offices as well. Pretty much the entire science wings of the regional offices have been cut down significantly.
I know many don't understand why there are 6 biologists stationed at a regional office, but many parks only have 1-3 on staff with the smallest parks having none. Being able to send a team of 6 to parks a few weeks at a time to do projects is way more efficient than hiring full staffs at the parks.
Unfortunately they are not even hiring these positions at parks, just leaving them unfilled and duties uncompleted. It's bad

Specifically, the National Park Service is under the Department of the Interior, while the United States Forest Service is under the Department of Agriculture. They're totally separate all the way up to the President.

in reply to Five • • •What about the Park service?
The goal of the Forest Service was always extraction. It's the Parks that we really need..

in reply to quick_snail • • •The goal wasn’t to encourage extraction, it was to prevent over-extraction.
I live in a National Forest that hasn’t had any large-scale commercial logging conducted in it for many decades. It has multiple designated Wilderness areas, and is primarily used for recreation. The major distinction between it and a National Park is that you’re permitted to drive motorized vehicles on the existing logging roads, and collect firewood with a permit.
