    Public transport journey planning has a public purpose - get people efficiently to their destination.

    This planning function might not have financial compensation - there might be no ticket sale involved.

    The likes of Trainline then have very little incentive as I see it to provide excellent journey planning. But if they can’t, and the likes of DB won’t, internationally… then who can?

    KarlHeinzHasliP,

    @jon The simple Swiss way is that the trains from all major cities leave around the full and half hour... In a good public transport system, you don't even need to plan, you just go to the station and take the next train.

    Is it possible to teach an introvert to be an extrovert (if they were presumably motivated to change) ? Would it be possible to transform extroverts into introverts through some program of calming and conditioning?

    KarlHeinzHasliP,

    @futurebird Sounds like a thing that can be done temporarily with drugs, but very hard to keep up.

    This era of technology is incredible.

    Almost the entire library of PC gaming—including new releases—is becoming platform agnostic. Which means you don’t need Windows.

    And where games go, so do apps.

    The countries least responsible for CO₂ emissions and climate change are tasked with cleaning up rich countries' carbon pollution.

    Just wait till we start putting direct air capture plants in these countries because we don’t want them in ours.

    @futurebird @kimlockhartga He is a torturer. One of the worst. We know exactly what is inside, and that is the man who found a loophole in the US definition of torture and introduced "anal tube feeding" as a legal method to break hunger strikes among prisoners in Guantanamo Bay...

    @pluralistic is there any way to link to an original publication of the "Natalie’s talk of the bell curve" in Walkaway?

    The "sigma" language is so powerful, would love to use it while pointing at the original definition.

    @pluralistic Mh, don't think I can find anything that people can just open in the browser on there. Mind if I scan and upload the section myself?

    Remember those German academics who developed a fraud detector that actually did nothing but look at whether the authors used institutional email addresses, had international collaborators, and were affiliated with a hospital?

    And then they concluded, based on this "detector", that a high fraction of the papers out of Asia and the Global South are fraudulent?

    And then they got a glowing writeup in Science?

    (If you missed it: https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom/110357259338364341)

    Turns out there's data on all this.

    KarlHeinzHasliP,

    @ct_bergstrom If I squint, that table almost ranks countries by population size... the more national collaborators are available, the less likely they write with internationals sounds like a Null Hypotheses to me.

    And really the sheer absurdity of European Sleeper

    Here are two determined guys. They lease a freight locomotive, 2 ancient sleeping cars (at least with air con), 6 couchettes without air con (also old) and 2 seating carriages

    And they manage to run a Berlin-Brussels night train, something that others - like DB, NS or SNCB - could much more easily do with their financial means BUT REFUSE TO EVEN TRY

    And basic though it is it’s booked up all summer

    Just finished "A Psalm for the Wild-Built." I think I need more short pieces in my life? Would this be considered a short story? A novella? Some other literary word that I'm not using correctly?

    KarlHeinzHasliP,

    @boardgamebreakdown Novella I think. It is so lovely.

    it’s weird, kind of ironic, that there seems to be growing overlap between transhumanist and anti-trans communities.

    or am i unfairly stereotyping “TESCREALists”?

    TESCREALs: "NOT LIKE THAT!!!"

    This week, Science published a stunningly irresponsible news story entitled "Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common" and claiming that upward of 30% of the scientific literature is fake.

    https://www.science.org/content/article/fake-scientific-papers-are-alarmingly-common

    Below, the first two paragraphs of the story.

    Headline and intro notwithstanding, the story itself later notes that the detector doesn't actually work and flags nearly half of real papers as fake. Does the reporter just not understand that?

    h/t @Hoch

    @ct_bergstrom With a pre-existing relation and a serious threat to the respondents - "respond or we retract your paper" can work marvels.

    So the one thing I don't understand is why the Fediverse platforms all still require email registration for login. Would be sooo much smoother if I could use this Fedi Account to sign up to others (Google ID UX).

    While I get having 2-3 separate logins with separate admins, I'm looking at dozens of fediverse apps. Being disjointed is more of a problem than having my ID centralized with climatejustice.social would be any time soon.

    I love it. There’s a poll ongoing about whether folks would ban a Meta (Instagram/Facebook) instance and people are like “well, I’d give them the benefit of the doubt.”

    I really have no words.

    Is it learned helplessness? Stockholm Syndrome? Masochism? Something else?

    I just don‘t get it.

    KarlHeinzHasliP,

    @aral How will soon thereafter start blocking instances like climatejustice.social for promoting terrorism or something...

    Adding an easy way to create a Mastodon account on mastodon.social to the official app? Yes, please.

    I don’t understand the drama around this. Not like it’s removing other instances, or the ability to switch instances afterwards. It just gives an easier way in for people who don’t understand the instances concept.

    It’s a good thing. Anything that helps onboarding is a good thing, and no, it doesn’t mean the developer has gone evil or wants to centralize things. 🙄🙄

    KarlHeinzHasliP,

    @atomicpoet @thelinuxEXP

    The very existence of an "offical app" is problematic enough. The real onboarding is "chose one of dozens of apps, chose a server"...

    What could be fun is a signup page t(inoffical) hat sends you through a personality quizzy and then picks and app and chooses a server with zero further clicks...

    Certain folks are saying that Bluesky’s search capabilities spell potential doom for the Fediverse.

    Except Bluesky is only searching on one node. What happens when you add another node? What happens when you add 10,000 nodes for Bluesky to connect with?

    Will all nodes that use AT protocol have comparable search?

    Will Bluesky’s search even be as good as what’s available on Misskey, Akkoma, Friendica, and some forms of Mastodon?

    We don’t know!

    KarlHeinzHasliP,

    @atomicpoet I think the next thing is a proper user interface for music... I kinda don't really get how to play this game with Funkwhale so far, but I see a huge promise on the horizon at www.climate.dance

    It's hard for people to visualize removing tons or billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂). I propose we talk about CO₂ removal () like a time machine (e.g., this machine will take us back 5 minutes). For example:

    Q: How far back in time does planting 100 million trees take us?

    A: If one mature tree takes up an average of 25 kg of CO₂ per year, then 100 million trees will take up 2.5 MtCO₂. That's a time machine that takes us back 33 minutes and 6 seconds in a year. It's not a lot.

    KarlHeinzHasliP,

    @davidho Climeworks sold so many of those tons, they must all be long term forwards...
