One of Europe’s Hottest Cities Rediscovers an Old Cooling Technique
By Laura Millan
August 8, 2023
"The streets of #Seville in southern #Spain were so hot that July afternoon that it felt almost impossible to walk outdoors. As temperatures approached 42C (108F), people scrambled to find shelter in air-conditioned homes, offices and public buildings. Yet, less than two miles from the city center, a cool breeze blew under a giant white roof.
"The structure is a part of CartujaQanat, an architectural experiment in cooling solutions that doesn’t rely on burning more planet-warming #FossilFuels. The site, about the size of two soccer fields, includes two auditoriums, green spaces, a promenade and a shaded area with benches. But its star performer remains hidden — the qanat, a network of underground pipes and tubes inspired by Persian-era canals.
"The grid of #aqueducts can lower surrounding temperatures by as much as 10C using just air, water and #solar power, according to Emasesa, the Seville public water company that helped to build it. The system is modeled on ancient tunnels dug to bring water to agricultural fields that were first documented in what is today #Iran. The Persians realized 1,000 years ago that the running water also cooled the air in the canals, so they fashioned vertical shafts to bring that air to the surface.
" 'This is not an air-conditioning system like the one you may have in your home,' says Juan Luis López, the project’s supervisor and an engineer at Emasesa. 'We use natural techniques and materials to reduce temperatures.' "

The Fediverse path could be the most important #openweb reboot of the commons of this decade. This is a story of power, plain and simple hamishcampbell.com/this-is-a-st...
This is a story of power, plai...
This is a story of power, plain and simple
Over the last few years, we’ve been watching a familiar story unfold, we’ve seen repeat itself in radical spaces, tech movements, and grassroots networks for decades. It starts in the grassroots with “progressive” #fashernistas (yes, them) pushing themselves into the front to speak for “us.” They talk the talk of decentralisation, care, community, and #FOSS ethics. They wear all the right hashtags: #opensocialmedia, #Fediverse, #commons, #techforgood. But when you look at how power is actually exercised behind the scenes, it’s something else entirely. This is a story of power, plain and simple. Not in the dramatic “revolutionary” sense. But in the subtle creep of careerism, institutional capture, and “safe” social capital games that flatten the radical and uplifts the “palatable”.Let’s take a few examples from the #activertypub world, first with the #SocialHub stagnation, this open space was originally created for grassroots to shape the standards of the decentralised web, It was originally a commons, protocol-building and governance exploration space. So, what happened? The people now “leading” came from lifestyle #fashionista activism and wannabe NGO circuits, who in the end were all trying to be embedded in the institutional funding environments, or visiting from the safe academic bubble. And thus they brought with them the dogmas of safe spaces, of “emotional consensus,” “hidden affinity group governance,” and “(ex)inclusive dialogue”… that JUST SO happened to exclude the radical and messy paths that are actually native to the #openweb, the bad mess they then made, ended up only pushing the dogma of the #geekprolem as it was the ONLY path they could imagine controlling in a way that would not threaten the thin connection to the institutions they were feeding from. This behaviour so often slips into forms of parasitism, which is not a good thing at all.
Then we have the current #Fediverse outreach infrastructure capture, where we’ve seen the same class of actors attach themselves to the most visible projects – like Mastodon, ActivityPub standards, and now “Fediverse governance.” They secure seats on boards. They host conferences with glossy branding and friendly logos. They use these controlled spaces to then push out “code of conduct” documents and “safe space” branding… while closing and excluding the very messy native infrastructure of discussion and direction that is both native and needed.
Examples? #Mastodon’s GitHub, issue tracking, and moderation are all tightly controlled by a small clique around the project founder. Community voices are kinda tolerated at best, discarded at worst. The project is moving onto the #NGO path, no bad thing in its self, but with its years of pushing its own branding as THE Fediverse, it becomes a bad thing. In this, there is a very real debt of damage they need to pay back – as a part of a functioning gift economy – saying sorry and admitting mistakes is a good first step.
Then we have the example of the #FediForum events, pushing into the space blindly, with zero historical context or any actual knowledge, to represent the activertypub ecosystem. The problem is they paywalled and increasingly gate kept #NGO commercial interests are then pushed to the front to represent “us”. When the radical and experienced grassroots voices obviously don’t get involved, as they simply refuse to step over the paywall. This is an ongoing mess, that we do need to compost and not only with #fashionista outrage but with real working paths, we used to do this, but we can’t anymore – why?
Over the last few years we have had proposals for genuine horizontal governance, that could have been used to shift this mess making and to actually shifts power outward – but these were labelled “too messy,” “too political,” or “not the right time.” This is not accidental, it is liberalism functioning as control – with a smile. So… what can we do? Let’s be clear: This is a power issue. It’s not about bad intentions. It’s about how power is used, and then abused, even in the so-called “horizontal” paths.
The first thing we have to do is recognise the smell of #NGO-style liberalism that so easily hides itself in good intentions, grants, DEI language, and “process.” But it then ends up:
- Disempowering community autonomy
- Replacing radical potential with “professionalism”
- Marginalising away activists and messy real-world projects
- Recreating the same vertical hierarchies, just with better “open” branding
Composting this mess is needed to break the cycle:
- Build and back native projects. The only way to push back against capture is to grow infrastructure from within our communities, like: #OMN (Open Media Network) #OGB (Open Governance Body). These must be trust-based, not credential-based. That means supporting those doing the work without demanding they translate it into pointless and most importantly powerless NGO-speak to be taken seriously.
- Use the #4opens as a filter, this simple social retelling of #FOSS is designed precisely to push out the 95% of #techshit and focus energy on projects with: Open source Open data Open standards Open governance. Apply these consistently, and the parasite class will struggle to keep and find a foothold.
- Push for messy, lived governance, stop waiting for perfect systems. We need to prototype imperfect, transparent, accountable governance now. It should be: Based on trust, not rules-lawyering Driven by use, not representation Grounded in solidarity, not status
- Refuse the “leader class”, just because someone has a title, a grant, or a #dotcons following, doesn’t mean they speak for us. Call out the unaccountable influence. Politely or not. Let’s not let careerists write our futures.:
The Fediverse path could be the most important #openweb reboot of the commons of this decade. But it will only be that if we keep it rooted in social power, not polished #PR and #NGO mess. We don’t need new kings. We need more gardeners, to work together to compost the piles of #techshit and keep the space open and safe.

The image features a word cloud with the term "fediverse" prominently displayed in various languages. The background is dark, providing a stark contrast to the white text. The word "fediverse" appears in multiple sizes and orientations, with some instances in English and others in different scripts, including Arabic, Chinese, and Cyrillic. The word cloud is densely packed, with the term "fediverse" being the most frequent and largest, indicating its significance. Other words like "federujo," "fediverso," "federiversum," and "fediwersum" are also present, though less prominently. The overall layout is chaotic yet visually engaging, with the words overlapping and intertwining.

🔴 NEW: Scottish universities have accepted millions of pounds from Chinese organisations with alleged links to the military, human rights abuses and spying.
Our investigation: theferret.scot/scottish-univer…
Some universities accepted money from companies and institutions with ties to the People’s Liberation Army in China, including those which are sanctioned by other countries.
Other universities took funding from institutions and tech firms accused of helping the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spy on and target users, spread misinformation and abuse human rights.
The director-general of MI5 last year warned vice-chancellors that China and other states the UK Government views as adversaries are attempting to steal technology from universities that can “deliver their authoritarian, military and commercial priorities”.
The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China said The Ferret’s research suggests that funding from CCP-linked organisations in Scottish higher education is particularly prevalent.
However the Chinese Embassy in London has accused critics and media outlets of “politicising and stigmatising normal educational exchanges between the two countries”. It has denied the use of subversive tactics abroad and argues that research collaboration with UK universities has “enhanced mutual understanding”.

(Just a reminder that the Royals preside over a country with record numbers of homelessness. Every year ninety thousand people in the UK die in poverty. Of those deaths, 436 in 2022 involved malnutrition (or starvation).
They could completely eradicate homelessness in the UK 36 times over and still have nearly a billion pounds left over. X)

An evening session just before sunset. The temperature was 22°C when I started and there was a pleasant wind under a cloudy sky.
Still the heat of the previous days stressed my body and I didn't have the strength to push the pace faster. I have also walked a lot lately, so there's that too.
It was a good run anyway!
The #boatoftheday is called Ichtus. Not a dreamy name if you ask me!
When I woke up yesterday after my run I had sore muscles and stiff joints all over my lower body.
A bit concerning was the inflammation on my right Achilles tendon.
This morning the soreness and joints stiffness disappeared, however the Achilles tendon is still bothering me. Less than yesterday, but I'm wondering if I should attempt my scheduled run tomorrow or wait another few days.
Curious that I feel the stretch on the tendon less if I land on midfoot compared to forefoot.
Get well before amputation is needed ;)
I know I'm bad at it, but when I remember to drink, get salts (and a few other minerals) and do my stretching afterwards. The less stiffness I endure.
@woollypigs I think this happened because I reduced my warm-up & mobility routines due to heat laziness.
I shouldn't have.
So are you suggesting to see how I may fell tomorrow or wait a few days regardless of how I feel?
I know Achilles tendon can lead to a serious injury if overlooked. Not so sure about how long I should wait though.
She can probably complete a different 5k program, just to vary a bit from what she's been doing so far.

Royal Ascot horse dies seconds into race as ITV viewers left devastated
There were tragic scenes on the second day of Royal AscotJohn Jones (Wales Online)
I love horses. I ride horses. Usually on the prairie, where I can just give them their head and let them run their fool head off if they want, or just stand there and eat cactus pears and toot. Whatever. 😀 You don't see things like dressage schools or racehorse farms around ranches.
So I was appalled when I saw dressage practices and training modalities, and was equally appalled when I toured a racing facility.
Neither sport should be allowed. They are cruel, horrible sports.

The evaporative effect lowered interior temperatures dramatically.
