Since @jaromil discovered #LongfellowZK in late 2024, he's become passionate about establishing and maintaining a European distribution for this system and facilitating contributions to it. Additionally, he aims to develop a circuit programming language that makes the technology accessible, auditable, and reusable within the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI).
Read all about the meaning of this in his latest entry to the Think & Do tank!
This cold is really kicking my ass. Been feeling feverish all day. Just realised I forgot to turn the heating off constant and back to timed last night. 😂👍
Scientists discovered a small protein region that determines whether plants reject or welcome nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By tweaking only two amino acids, they converted a defensive receptor into one that supports symbiosis.
when i lived in pittsburgh it would take 45mins-2hrs to do a 2 mile commute each way. I never understood peoples willingness to just sit in gridlock wasting their life away. There also the red and blue lines but they are pretty worthless outside of the point and north shore. Personally i just walked it most days instead
You were driving in the opposite direction of the big flows, which are into #Brussels. I try to avoid driving in the city during rush hours but 1 hour for 10km is not a rarity. Maybe there are worse places.
I am reminded tho of the Dutch newspaper article where they interviewed drivers in the queue at Rokin, one of them was driving from near Rai to Rokin, and had taken over an hour. Dutch people can be car brained too unfortunately 🙁
I once had someone say LA traffic isn't usually too bad, because they were able to get from Long Beach to Burbank in 2 hours. I had to point out that means they had an average speed of 15 mph.
It's painful how my 1.5 km trip to the grocery store in New Brunswick has to be done by car because it's miserable otherwise. In NL I have the same distaince trek and I love biking to get there (and also to the tram stop). No one gets it back in NB.
Saw this earlier and it baffled me that this is just the default for so many people. I've walked like 2.5km just on my lunch break today without even thinking about it, i can't imagine not having that option
It is so obvious, there needs to be a metro or tram line between her (and other) suburb and downtown. But I guess it's really hard to implement and maintain with North-American low density suburbs.
Thankfully, a lot of people in the comments have suggested walking or biking as potential options. So at the very least, people are aware there could (or SHOULD) be other alternatives.
Whether those alternatives are tenable in OOP’s city, now, is a different matter entirely. Especially since “there’s a sidewalk” is NOT always synonymous with “it’s walkable,” much less “there are myriad alternative transport options.”
@moshimotsu the complaint about the apartment complexes is implying that the traffic will only get worse because the city is building more apartments.
The number one reason that housing projects are cancelled in the US is because of traffic concerns. Because if everyone always has to get around by car, then yeah, adding more housing will only make traffic worse.
It's crazy how few Americans understand that alternatives to driving need to exist.
I recently immigrated to the Netherlands from Indiana in the US. I brought my EV vehicle with me since it was cheaper than replacing it. Since I have gotten here I have traveled over 300km by bicycle, hundreds of KMs by train, and only about 100km by car. Not because it's expensive to travel by car, but because it's SO MUCH MORE CONVENIENT by train. No worries about traffic, no worries about fines for speeding, and no worries about finding parking.
So i checked: in my city i need only 20ish minutes by bike for a 5km commute, make that 22,5 accounting for locking and unlocking said bike in worst case, fingers frozen solid winter, so about ½. now, and i'm not surprised by this at all because i watch @notjustbikes videos, if i took my car it would take me just 15 minutes. ⅓! car hostile, urbanist planning *improves* car's travel speeds! (and oldenburg, germany really isn't even the best example of urbanism by a long stretch)

Von Lobbyisten, Copy + Paste Vorschlägen bis hin zu CDU Politikern die auf einmal schon immer gegen die #Chatkontrolle gewesen sein wollen, war alles dabei. Also organisiert schon mal Popcorn!

" title=""/> New Mozilla's CEO isn't very good a veiled threats:
"He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission"
Adblockers are one of the few reasons I've stuck with Firefox as long as I have.
Some recent updates fixed, then broke, then removed the widget.gtk.non-native-titlebar-buttons.enabled setting which enabled themed OS window buttons on Linux.
If they get rid of adblockers, I'm switching to Vivaldi.
the new @mozilla CEO obviously has zero understanding of their users or the original mozilla mission. forcing users to take ads, forcing AI (that no users have been clamouring for) shows a real gap.
pity they didn't get someone who actually values open source and the mozilla history. just another sales critter hoping for the "glamor" of CEO title, i guess.
Does ... does he want to lose all his users overnight?
I mean, I don't *want* to have to switch to yet another Chrome skin browser but if adblockers are blocked, that's what I'll do. Immediately and without looking back.
Combined with his background (no open source/privacy advocacy experience) and his extremely rapid rise to CEO, this looks like Mozilla’s board brought in someone to “fix the business” who sees users’ expectations as obstacles to revenue rather than as the foundation of Mozilla’s value proposition.

Survival War (1): The Drinking Water Crisis😔😔🥺 The most significant difference in the cost of living after the war is water. Before the War: I used to fill a 500-liter barrel for $3(which lasted 21 days). Now: I pay $3 for just 40 liters (which lasts one day). What we used to pay for water for 21 days, we pay now in just one day! Costs have multiplied insanely. Please help support my family to secure this essential need. 💔🙏 To Donate and Help: gofund.me/e223b33ab
Lithium air batteries could deliver fuel-like energy density—and let EVs win on range, torque, and simplicity. Here’s what has to go right: medium.com/predict/lithium-air…
Today we present the first-ever European Affordable Housing Plan to ensure better access to affordable, sustainable and quality housing:
🏠 Boosting the supply of new construction and renovations 🏠 Mobilising both public and private investment 🏠 Enabling immediate support to affected areas while driving reforms 🏠Protecting the most vulnerable such as student, low-income and homeless populations
Boosting construction without controlling speculation and short-term rentals is basically adding fuel to the fire.
The housing problem stems from the obsession of a few to hoard resources. Putting more properties on the market without limiting how much this group can accumulate only encourages further hoarding.
Yes definitely, It should also be a part of towns cities country's where persons can live without fearing total Orwellian Surveillance and being anxious all the time.
And do not try and tell people Metadata are harmless.
Once they are gathered kept and correlated the family and friends are an open book, along with all their family's and friends.
I hope this means a lot of taxes if you own more than a couple properties, making housing a non-viable business for speculative capital, but I’m not holding my hopes high on that.
Obviously, the motive behind the plan is to grant governments access to *all* devices ("Big Brother"), the mere idea of "encouraging" Operating Systems makers to implement "nudity blockers", unless the user is a "certified adult", would be absolutely hilarious, wouldn't we live in a time of completely normalised absurdity.

Spendenaufruf Normale Geburt e.V.: Es ist nicht egal wie wir geboren werden
"Die heutigen Umstände rund um die "moderne" Geburtshilfe verlangen nach Aufklärung und Umdenken. Wir möchten Frauen und Familien in dieser so wichtigen Lebensphase stärken, damit diese kraftvoll und sicher in das Abenteuer Familie starten können. Wir wollen die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung der hebammenbegleiteten Geburt sichtbar machen und wünschen uns das keine werdende Mutter auf eine sichere und individuelle Versorgung und Betreuung während Schwangerschaft, Geburt und Stillzeit verzichten muss. Doch die aktuellen Umstände verschlechtern sich zunehmend. Um dies endlich zu ändern, brauchen diese Themen nach wie vor mehr Aufmerksamkeit."
