My son dropped his phone in the sink. It was in there for seconds, not minutes. Retrieved quickly, dried out, switched off and left alone. Then came the waiting to see whether it would turn back on…

Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply. It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall. 🧵1/13
The residual rise is due to: A. the birth rate 60-100 years ago, which created a larger current base population. This means more children being born even as birth *rates* are in radical decline. The global total fertility rate, by the way, is now 2.2, just above the replacement rate of 2.1. 2/13
B. infant mortality has declined very fast and longevity has risen very fast. Again, there's nothing you can do about either of those things and, I hope, nothing you would want to. 3/13
All women should have total reproductive freedom and full access to modern birth control. *Because it’s a fundamental right.* NOT because old men on other continents want them to have fewer children. Even if it became universal now, it would scarcely nudge the curve, due to the factors above. 4/13
Before long, people will be fretting instead about the downwave, a very rapid decline in populations as the impact of 60+ years of falling birth rates overtakes the effects mentioned above. 5/13
There's almost nothing we can do about that either. It's about as locked in as any human behaviour can be. As the opportunity costs of childcare rise (i.e. as prosperity increases), the birth rate declines. 6/13
Of course, if economic and social life collapsed, the process might go into reverse, and birth rates could be expected to rise again. But is that really what you want? For my part, I’m heartily sick of people who think collapse is the answer to anything.www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/t...7/13
In the short run, we can survive the decline in wealthy countries by reopening the door to immigrants, which would also offer sanctuary to people fleeing from the climate breakdown and conflict we've caused overseas. Two wins, in other words. In the long run, we'll steadily shuffle away. 8/13
Whether you think that's good or bad will not affect the outcome. I see demographic change as an underlying factor, like gravity, we simply have to adapt to as well as we can. If you want to pick a fight with a mathematical function, go ahead. But it seems to me as if you’re wasting your time. 9/13
Surely there's no harm in it? Surely we can seek to change the population trajectory while also campaigning against environmental breakdown, inequality, injustice? Some people who worry about population do. But in my experience, most fixate on population *to the exclusion* of other issues. 10/13
Something must be done about *them* breeding too fast, rather than *us* consuming too fast. All too often, residual population growth is used as a scapegoat to shift blame from rich-world impacts, which means that the people in places where growth is still occurring are themselves scapegoated. 11/13
The result, broadly speaking, is wealthy white people pointing the finger at much poorer Black and Brown people and saying, “You're the problem.” It's more than a distraction, it's a grim and sometimes racist alternative to effective action. It’s an excuse for *inaction*. 12/13
So yes, do both if you want to, while being aware that one activity is useful and the other is futile. But be aware that for most population obsessives, it's either/or, and is used to avoid moral responsibility and effective action. More on all this here: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...13/13
These are the facts: plummeting birth rates mean that without attracting immigration, many countries are sliding towards collapse, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
the USA MAHA is trying hard to change B with their no vaccination, criminilising reproductive healthcare, stopping investments in health research and making healthcare itself a luxury item 🫣
Not just in the USA. Pretty much the whole world is now letting Covid spread without any control measures, and as long as that remains the case, I expect the only direction life expectancy will go in to be downwards.
Milano, anni ’40. Quando l’insegnante di canto chiede se qualcuno se la sente di eseguire l’inno d’Italia, tutta la classe si volta verso un compagno, perché è il figlio di un musicista. Felice di essere eletto capocoro, il ragazzino si alza e intona orgoglioso le prime note dell’inno di Mameli, ma non arriva a ‘s’è desta’ che l’insegnante lo ferma e lo rimanda al posto.

The image shows a view of a landscape under a very dark, cloudy sky. The sky is predominantly grey and appears to be storm clouds gathering. In the foreground, there is a flat, brown surface that is likely a road or open land, with some red objects visible near the bottom of the frame. Buildings are visible in the middle distance, appearing as small structures with rectangular shapes and some greenery around them. Thin, tall structures resembling antennas or poles rise up in the background, silhouetted against the dark sky. ― A person stands in a muddy, flooded area near a collection of makeshift shelters. The shelters appear to be constructed from corrugated metal, plastic sheeting, and other salvaged materials, and are arranged closely together. The ground is covered in standing water and debris, and the sky is overcast. The person is holding a long stick and appears to be wading through the water. There is no visible text within the image. ― A young person sits on rubble in an outdoor environment. The person is wearing a bright green hooded sweatshirt and matching pants. Pink and white sandals are on their feet. They are looking down at their hands, which appear to be holding something small. The ground around them is covered in broken concrete, plastic bags, and a metal pipe lies to their right.

L'età del mio portatile si fa sentire. Dovevo pensare di cambiarlo il più prima di possibile ma con tutto questo casino che dobbiamo affrontare fra macchine difettose, arredamento casa, ecc. sembra di stare sul filo del rasoio. E mi serve un portatile di almeno 1000 euro.

Un altro segno ora è che adesso Windows mi scollega il wifi a caso anche se funziona, ed non si ricollega più automaticamente (sembra)
No, chiedendomi di mettere Linux non risolve niente. Non me la sento di cambiare OS impulsivamente solo perché sto affrontando un problema che non è così grosso
Beh, il cambio di sistema operativo non è detto che debba essere impulsivo.
Per vedere se Linux fa per te, puoi andare ad esempio sul sito distrosea.com per vedere se ti ci trovi (avrà prestazioni molto peggiori rispetto a quando è installato, ma è già un miracolo che girino le macchine virtuali direttamente dal browser).
Poi anche quando hai flashato la distribuzione sulla chiavetta, non sei obbligato ad installarla, puoi testarla per controllare la compatibilità col pc

Aunque tiene WiFi mi idea es que no se use para nada. Jugar con scummvm, colecciones enteras de mangas y poder usar la tableta con orgánic maps para tema de mapas.
No más cosas. Lo bueno es que esto permite mangas a color.
Esta tableta la consideran obsoleta. Salió en 2016 y dejaron de sacar actualizaciones a los pocos años.
recomienda alguna ROM ligera pero actualizada? tengo una samsung tablet A del año la pera en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_… CREO que tengo la de 2015, y su version de android no le permite instalar apps como komelia github.com/Snd-R/Komelia
@audricd la que puse yo no es una custom ROM actualizada. No obstante para lo que la quiero me sirve: koreader, scummvm. No es para andar navegando, es para no usarla con internete.
Supongo que para otras tabletas existirán buenas ROMs sin google apps como la que yo puse. Y estarán actualizadas.
LineageOS puede ser muy buena opción también. Y con actualización y tal seguramente. Y sin google apps.

In 2023, Malaysia fiercely defended its 'morality' against a comedian's jokes. In 2025, it stayed silent as its own officials forged documents in a FIFA scandal. The hypocrisy is clear: we police speech but ignore corruption. Real dignity isn't in outrage—it's in honesty and accountability.
A conversation on why I apologised to a comedian, why she apologised to me, and why Malaysia’s "dignity" is being destroyed by our own corruption—not by jokes.
