So, I may be a "doomsayer" (I consider myself a realist), but I'm always trying to see if there's a solution to getting us out of the mess we're in. Perhaps I would describe myself as an optimistic pessimist. Anyhow, based on my recent research, here are some of the solutions I think we (humanity) should pursue collectively...
Plug up the #MethaneLeaks! Seriously! That's a big part of the problem!
Make the price of #meat expensive! I remember when having meat was considered a special occasion -- not a daily occurrence.
Make things out of #RomanConcrete. Now that we've cracked the recipe, there's no excuse not to use it! Especially with rising sea levels (Roman concrete holds up better when exposed to water).
Manufacture stuff that lasts! No more #PlannedObsolescence -- items that can't be upgraded and/or repaired by a skilled user or a local repair shop!
Utilize new (and ancient) technologies to the max! #SolarPrisms, reflective white paint, building new structures with #skywells, #geothermal and other ways to cool/heat spaces without using #FossilFuels!
That's just a few off the top of my head. I think a lot of the solutions are right in front of us -- but #greed and #Oligarchy are keeping them from being implemented!
Eigentlich hatte ich #nextcloud abgeschrieben, große Dateien / Dateimengen bringen die Clients zum Absturz. Aber da ich bisher keinen guten Ersatz für googledocs gefunden habe und ein "Onlineoffice" brauche, suche ich nun wieder nach einem seriösen Angebot. Bei ionos / 1&1 heißt es:
nextcloud kann Verschlüsselung, aktivieren Sie das in keinem Fall!
Sie brauchen keine Verschlüsselung.
Wenn Sie doch Verschlüsselung brauchen nutzen Sie veracrypt.
@BsCreativeLife If #zoning and basics like sanitary requirements didn't ban it I'm shure a lot of #Office buildings would've been converted to #housing ages ago...
Boosts welcome: Hey y'all, does anyone know of some accessible preparation material for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification test? Thanks for any help.
Guardian opinion piece on the UK #post#office scandal, by Marina Hyde https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/18/post-office-scandal-cover-up-justice?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
'in which totally innocent subpostmasters, the very backbone of villages and communities, were turned into criminals to cover up the fact that the Post Office’s Horizon computer system didn’t work properly. Each was told by the #PostOffice that no one else had any problems with the system. Vast sums were effectively looted from them to make up accounting shortfalls, before they were prosecuted anyway'
'new revelations, like the discovery of a document proving that #Post#Office investigators were ordered to group suspected subpostmasters in racial categories such as “negroid types” and “dark-skinned European types”. This advice was still in use in 2011. That document was also somehow not put before the inquiry, would you believe, along with tens of thousands of others the Post Office has been accused of serially withholding'

I am really pleased with how my Damn Dirty Lies poster looks on the wall in my home office. I love Bob's Burgers, so when I went on a letterpress printing course earlier this year I thought I would pay homage by making this poster.
To the photographers who follow me - can you guess which famous photographer made the other five photos on my wall?

I'm starting to think about improving my home office setup (especially in terms of video calls), and it looks like one "easy win" is to set up a teleprompter: It will let me position a camera such that I can look "through" someone when talking to them.
I don't suppose anyone who follows me here has any advice on how to pick a good one?
