Can somebody explain to me how any climate scientists think we will stay below 1.5C by 2100? I don’t see how we can keep below 1.5C considering the current temperature, the continued rate of high emissions, and the likely future efforts to reduce emissions (specifically, the insufficient efforts in the near future).
I wrote about how E2EE DMs are becoming a very real possibility for the social web. This would mean that #Fediverse users could potentially open DMs to mutuals across the social web without needing a separate account.
Very excited to see where @evan and @tomcoates take this research. More in the link below 👇🏼
@glynmoody@ariadne This paragraph raised questions unanswered by the article:
“Methane and carbon dioxide plumes were seen coming from enclosed flaring devices in the Four Corners region of New Mexico, according to satellite data from CarbonMapper, which provides publicly accessible data on greenhouse gases.”
That sounds like the emissions from enclosed flaring can be seen by satellite, which is the opposite of what the rest of the article says.
@drewdevault@smallcircles Great resource! One piece of feedback: might be good to include a discussion of when ‘free’ means ‘libre’ and when it means ‘gratis’.
This is rude. You’re bringing their conversation into your house. You’re probably doing it because you disagree.
Add information to a post.
You don't need to make yourself the centre of a conversation. Instead, boost the post and add your reply. If your addition is really that brilliant then see "DO: 2. Use a post as a jumping off point for a new conversation."
Just boost the post instead. Of course, if you are so bursting with enthusiasm for a post that you want to announce your love for it to your followers then do so, but this should be the exception not the rule.
Spread negativity unnecessarily.
Are you sharing something people need to know about or are you just venting outrage? Negative events do happen and need talking about, but not all negative things need sharing.
@nicol mitigated, yes. And the Mastodon team are planning on implementing QP controls so whoever doesn't want their posts QP'd will have that option. Same thing with reply controls, it mitigates but doesn't prevent trouble.
But many will allow QPs on their posts, so this is why we need usage standards.
@NatureMC They're guidelines only, and I gave exceptions 🤷 If anyone does the 'Do Not' things I'm not going to be blocking them, the worst I'd do is unfollow or mute if they do it repetitively. Same as what I do if I don't want someone's normal posting in my feed.
I'll be reporting/blocking if people do the 'Absolutely do not' things though.
I already see dunk culture on Bluesky with QPs and I don't like it.
