Gli scienziati ricostruiscono in dettaglio 540 milioni di anni di variazioni del livello del mare

#paleoclimatologia

Il livello del mare sulla Terra si è alzato e abbassato da quando esiste l'acqua sul pianeta. Gli scienziati erano già in grado di utilizzare sedimenti e fossili per ricostruire in modo approssimativo la variazione del livello del mare su intervalli di tempo di un milione di anni o più.

Dock workers at the port of Piraeus have said that they will refuse to unload the Ever Golden, a container ship carrying military-grade steel to Israel, when it arrives in Greece.

“We will not unload a single inch of this murderous cargo,” Enedep said on Tuesday.

“The dock workers of Piraeus will not be complicit. We will not unload military steel from the Ever Golden, freedom for Palestine,” the workers said.

When Israel decided to go to full-scale war with Hezbollah last fall, it concluded the campaign in just seven weeks. The same pattern followed with Iran—its objectives were reportedly achieved in 12 days.

So why, despite nearly two years of relentless war and massive military superiority, has Israel failed to win in Gaza?

Unlike Hezbollah or Iran, which are far more powerful militarily, Hamas is a smaller, more localized force.

What Palestinian Resistance accomplishes right now is epic. It will write a new chapter on how the popular resistance, through the guerrilla, can defeat a professional (relentless execution machine) army in the most suffocating circumstances.
21 months of war against civilians is what #IOF has done. Palestinian Resistance carries out the most complicated attacks against (trained...) soldiers like the day one. None of the "goals" of israeli entity and army ever achieved. None.

Spain’s National Court on Tuesday launched a criminal investigation into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Israel Katz, and several senior military officials over their alleged involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity, particularly Israel's attack last month on a humanitarian aid ship.

The probe focuses on the June 1 raid on the Madleen, a ship en route to Gaza, Spanish MEP Jaume Asens said.

The song “Restart” was never released as one of #SamSmith’s singles and was only included as a bonus track in his 2014 debut album. And this baffles me because “Restart” easily became one of my favorite Sam Smith songs almost from the first time I heard it.

[2/2] methods of dealing with the inconvenience of homeless people living in public areas sooner or later take a cruel and vicious form. Here is an example from Australia. I've often linked to examples from California, Some places choose rather to give each homeless person a place to live in.
in reply to Richard Stallman

in Finland the city of Helsinki has a project to give basic housing, ie small flats to the homeless along with psych counseling for free, on the assumption that caring for them in an emergency situation would have been even more costly. It worked, and also after the change of political colour the project has been confirmed. This proves that thought out intervention works and helps lift homeless back on their feet, and be aonce more active members of society..

Viele in Deutschland glauben, dass wir beim Einsatz erneuerbarer Energien einsame Spitze sind. In Europa liegen wir beim Vergleich des Solarenergieanteils an der Last aber nur auf Platz 3. Interessant ist aber dennoch, dass sonnigere Länder wie Frankreich oder Portugal deutlich hinter uns liegen. Griechenland ist hingegen auf Platz 1.

Das Bild zeigt eine Frau mit kurzem, grauem Haar, die ein Selfie aufgenommen hat. Sie trägt eine Sonnenbrille mit runden Gläsern und ein hellblaues, gestreiftes Oberteil mit einem geometrischen Muster am Hals. Im Hintergrund erstreckt sich eine weite Landschaft mit Dünen und Gras, die typisch für Küstenregionen ist. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, und die Sonne scheint durch die Wolken hindurch. Die Frau lächelt und scheint sich in der Natur zu befinden, was auf eine entspannte und freudige Stimmung hinweist.

Das Bild zeigt eine hölzerne Treppe, die sich durch eine sanfte Dünenlandschaft windet. Die Treppe besteht aus mehreren gleichmäßig angeordneten Holzplanken, die sich in einer leicht steilen Richtung nach oben erstrecken. Die Umgebung ist geprägt von niedriger Vegetation, die aus Gras und Heidekraut besteht, das die Dünen bedeckt. Die Dünen sind von einer Mischung aus grünem und braunem Gras bedeckt, was auf die natürliche Vegetation hinweist. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, mit weißen Wolken, die sich gegen einen blauen Hintergrund abheben. Die Treppe führt den Blick des Betrachters in die Ferne, wodurch ein Gefühl von Weite und Abenteuer entsteht.

Das Bild zeigt einen schwarzen und weißen Border Collie, der auf einer Holzleiter sitzt. Der Hund ist an einer Leine gebunden und blickt direkt in die Kamera. Die Leiter führt hinauf zu einer sanften Düne, die mit Gras und Heidekraut bedeckt ist. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, und die Sonne scheint durch die Wolken hindurch. Die Holzleiter ist aus grauen Planken gefertigt und führt in die Ferne, wobei die Stufen in der Ferne kleiner erscheinen. Der Border Collie hat ein charakteristisches schwarzes und weißes Fell mit einem weißen Bauch und weißen Pfoten. Die Umgebung wirkt ruhig und natürliche, mit einer offenen Landschaft, die typisch für Küstenregionen ist.

Das Bild zeigt eine weite Landschaft mit sanften Hügeln und dichtem Gras, die von einer Holzbrücke und einem Aussichtspunkt überblickt wird. Die Brücke führt zu einem erhöhten Aussichtspunkt, der von einer Holzbalustrade umgeben ist. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, mit großen, weißen Wolken, die den blauen Hintergrund rahmen. Die Landschaft erstreckt sich weit in die Ferne, wobei die Hügel sanft abfallen und sich in der Ferne verschmelzen. Die Vegetation besteht hauptsächlich aus niedrigem Gras und Sträuchern, die die sanften Hügel bedecken. Die Holzbrücke und der Aussichtspunkt sind gut erhalten und bieten einen idealen Ort, um die natürliche Schönheit der Umgebung zu genießen.

I hate that “Libertarianism” in US-english means those “free” market dumbasses.

It actually meant anarchist (anti-capitalist) originally and was a euphemism for anarchist when it was banned to be one. It still means that in French generally.

The Social Dilemma - Film documentario completo in streaming ITA Download


Questo documentario di Jeff Orlowski esplora come la dipendenza e la violazione della privacy siano caratteristiche, non bug, delle piattaforme dei social media.

Che i social media possano creare dipendenza e dare i brividi non è una rivelazione per chi usa Facebook, Twitter, Instagram e simili. Ma nel documentario di Jeff Orlowski "The Social Dilemma", i disertori coscienziosi di queste aziende spiegano che la perniciosità delle piattaforme di social networking è una caratteristica, non un bug.

Essi sostengono che la manipolazione del comportamento umano a scopo di lucro è codificata in queste aziende con una precisione machiavellica: Le notifiche a scorrimento e push infinito mantengono gli utenti costantemente impegnati; le raccomandazioni personalizzate utilizzano i dati non solo per prevedere ma anche per influenzare le nostre azioni, trasformando gli utenti in facili prede per gli inserzionisti e i propagandisti.

Come nei suoi documentari sul cambiamento climatico, "Chasing Ice" e "Chasing Coral", Orlowski prende una realtà che può sembrare troppo colossale e astratta per essere afferrata da un profano, figuriamoci se ci si preoccupa, e la riduce a un livello umano. In "The Social Dilemma", egli rielabora uno dei più antichi tropi del genere horror - il dottor Frankenstein, lo scienziato che si è spinto troppo oltre - per l'era digitale.

In interviste ben curate, Orlowski parla con uomini e (alcune) donne che hanno contribuito a costruire i social media e che ora temono gli effetti delle loro creazioni sulla salute mentale degli utenti e sulle basi della democrazia. Le loro testimonianze ammonitorie sono state rilasciate con la forza di un lancio iniziale, utilizzando aforismi e analogie concise.

"Mai prima d'ora nella storia 50 designer hanno preso decisioni che avrebbero avuto un impatto su due miliardi di persone", dice Tristan Harris, un ex esperto di etica del design di Google. Anna Lembke, un'esperta di dipendenze dell'Università di Stanford, spiega che queste aziende sfruttano il bisogno evolutivo del cervello per la connessione interpersonale. E Roger McNamee, uno dei primi investitori in Facebook, fornisce un'accusa agghiacciante: La Russia non ha hackerato Facebook, ha semplicemente usato la piattaforma.

Molto di tutto ciò è familiare, ma "The Social Dilemma" si spinge oltre, intercalando le interviste con scene di fantasia in stile P.S.A. di una famiglia di periferia che soffre le conseguenze della dipendenza dai social media. Ci sono cene in silenzio, una figlia adolescente (Sophia Hammons) con problemi di immagine di sé e un figlio adolescente (Skyler Gisondo) radicalizzato dalle raccomandazioni di YouTube che promuovono una vaga ideologia.

Questa narrazione romanzata esemplifica i limiti dell'enfasi talvolta iperbolica del documentario sul mezzo a scapito del messaggio. Ad esempio, gli interlocutori del film attribuiscono l'aumento delle malattie mentali all'uso dei social media, ma non riconoscono fattori come l'aumento dell'insicurezza economica. Polarizzazione, rivolte e proteste sono presentati come sintomi particolari dell'era dei social media senza contesto storico.

Nonostante le loro veementi critiche, gli intervistati di "The Social Dilemma" non sono tutti dei dissidenti; molti suggeriscono che con i giusti cambiamenti, possiamo salvare il bene dei social media senza il male. Ma l'accaparramento di soluzioni personali e politiche che presentano nel film confonde due distinti obiettivi di critica: la tecnologia che provoca comportamenti distruttivi e la cultura del capitalismo incontrollato che la produce.

Ciononostante, "Il dilemma sociale" è straordinariamente efficace nel lanciare l'allarme sull'incursione del data mining e della tecnologia manipolativa nella nostra vita sociale e oltre. Il film di Orlowski non è di per sé risparmiato dal fenomeno che esamina. Il film è in streaming su Netflix, dove diventerà un altro nodo dell'algoritmo basato sui dati del servizio.

Activism is inherently messy, and that’s its strength. The magic happens in the balancing act. The Beautiful Insanity of Activism: How Movements Rot or Blossom hamishcampbell.com/the-beautif…


The Beautiful Insanity of Activism: How Movements Rot or Blossom


Let’s face it — activism and counter-culture are packed with “insane” people. And thank the gods for that. It’s what makes movements exciting, dynamic, and, most importantly, effective. But like compost, too much of the wrong stuff makes the pile stink. Balance is everything. So, let’s look at this: what causes a movement to stagnate, fail, or bloom into a riotous field of wildflowers?

The Rot (or: Why Your Movement Smells Bad)


  • NGO’ists: These bureaucratic barnacles latch onto everything, molding it into whatever’s fundable and fashionably bland. They hoard resources, fill minds with paperwork, and slowly suffocate radical energy. They’re like termites with business cards.
  • Encryptionists: Paranoid fuckists who turn usability into a sin and sell fantasies of invulnerability. They preach security like a cult, but the reality is half-baked systems no one can use and a movement too scared to talk to itself.
  • Traditional Media Panderers: Useful in small doses, but quickly start reshaping the movement to fit mainstream narratives. Before you know it, your radical campaign against fossil fuels is being sold as a quirky “green lifestyle choice.”
  • Horizontal Dotcom’ists: Desperate to ride the movement into start-up glory. If they build with the #4opens, great. If not, they’re a distraction at best and a flaming wreck at worst when people actually try to use their half-built platforms.
  • Insecure and Nasty Lifestylists: Attracted to successful grassroots projects like flies to rot. They thrive on internal drama and are fed by the media panderers. Enough of them and your movement eats itself alive.
  • Hidden Careerists: Often competent and useful — until they start networking with the NGO’ists and media grifters to build personal brands instead of movements.
  • Paranoid Fuckwits: The paranoid glue of grassroots campaigns. In small doses, they help keep things tight. But let them accumulate in leadership, and the infighting becomes an art form.
  • Dogmatic Liberals: Lovely people, but the human equivalent of wet blankets. They block anything genuinely disruptive because it makes them uncomfortable, ensuring nothing truly radical gets off the ground.


The Bloom (or: Why the Garden Still Grows)


  • Hands-off NGO’s: The quiet good ones. They funnel resources without sucking the life out of movements. A rare species, but precious.
  • User-Focused KISS Peer2Peer’ists: The heroes fighting uphill to (re)boot the #openweb with simple, human-centered tools. They understand that people need tech they can actually use, not just theorize about.
  • Traditional Media Outreaches: The rare media people who amplify grassroots work without distorting it to fit mainstream appetites. They build bridges, not cages.
  • Horizontal Dotcoms (Done Right): Working on open, federated sustainability instead of chasing VC cash. They build tools for the movement, not to sell the movement.
  • Healthy Lifestylists: Learning to balance intense campaigning with actual human joy. Letting go of burnout culture and building connected, grounded lives.
  • Open Careerists: Using the movement to bootstrap themselves — but carrying open values like a Trojan horse into the belly of institutions. Someone has to infiltrate the beast.
  • Secure Organising Crews: Understanding that collective security is a shared responsibility. Keeping things calm, focused, and handling offline realities without spiraling into paranoia.
  • Liberal Liberals: The ones who bring just enough common sense to stop things from exploding, but not so much that they kill the spark.


The Chaotic Harmony


Activism is inherently messy, and that’s its strength. The magic happens in the balancing act. A movement with too many paranoid fuckwits or NGO’ists collapses under its own weight. But a movement with a little bit of everything — the wild-eyed dreamers, the practical builders, the media-savvy storytellers, and the steady hands keeping it all together — can actually change the world.

Because, at the end of the day, movements grow like compost. You need some rot. You need some shit. But you also need people willing to shovel through it, plant seeds, and tend the garden. And maybe, just maybe, you need to be a little bit mad to stick around long enough to see it bloom.

Which strategies work, which don't? Like: grants from public institutions, donations from companies, donations from users, subscription models, ad revenue, sponsors, etc. etc.
What are your experiences with those strategies?

And: Do you think an anonymous payment system like #GNUTaler, along with its anonymous subscription service capabilities, could be helpful and to what degree?

What other ideas do you have?

I'm looking forward to answers, comments and shares!

From my perspective, voluntary donations like the #GitHub sponsor functionality do not work.

It's been introduced before M$ took over and few people use it. When it was released, I was really excited and tried it out. Miserably, times changed now.

Maybe it's because devs don't want to support other devs or decision-making power of companies don't care (or know) what software they use.

The general, sad opinion is: "Software has to be free (as in beer), so why pay someone who develops it?"

Dresden: "Wir dürfen nicht einfach Fahrradpiktogramme auf die Straße malen, um zu verdeutlichen wo der Radverkehr fahren soll und zu erwarten ist."

Das Bild zeigt eine Stadtstraße mit einem blauen Radweg, der sich durch die Mitte des Bildes zieht. Der Radweg ist mit einem weißen Fahrrad-Symbol und einer Pfeilspur gekennzeichnet, was darauf hinweist, dass er für Radfahrer reserviert ist. Auf der linken Seite der Straße befinden sich mehrere Gebäude mit Backsteinfassaden, darunter Geschäfte und Restaurants. Einige Fahrräder sind an Halterungen entlang der Straße geparkt. Auf der rechten Seite der Straße ist ein Gehweg aus roten Ziegeln zu sehen, und es gibt einige Pflanzen in Blumenkästen. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Gebäude und ein paar Menschen zu sehen, die entweder auf dem Gehweg oder am Straßenrand entlanggehen. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, und die Straße scheint trocken zu sein.
