Don't shy away from reality. Embrace it, and join others in finding alternative ways to live on Earth. The status quo will become untenable. Adapt early to improve our odds of success.

Anyone got any docs on practical workplace democracy? I may have a chance to bake it into a small corporation I work for
This implies your time serving the machine is its own reward
As someone who has been working since he was 13, let me just say, no it isn't
A job is just that. A mechanism of self-preservation as part of the infrastructure in the current incarnation of civilization. You are who you are. You can enjoy what you do, but your job is not "you"

I got my first post solar panel electric bill. It's for -56 dollars.
I can leave it as a credit in case we use more power in another billing cycle or if the credit is over 50 dollars I can ask for a check.

Got my birdsite account locked for calling a literal paid shill a paid shill.
I'll need to be more careful.

Beginning June 11, no more free API key for Google Maps (now Google Maps Platform) if you don't provide a credit card.
A lot of custom Google maps that have been created over the years will likely no longer work.
Time to use #leaflet and #openstreetmap

A small weight, "m1", added to one side represents warming forcings (e.g., excess #CO2).
Without feedbacks (valve between bottles closed), the weight causes a small tilt.
With positive feedbacks (valve open), the weight causes water to flow and a much larger tilt occurs.
The Earth has several known positive feedbacks (e.g., albedo, methane turnover, added water vapor).

Mechanical teaching tool for understanding positive feedbacks in non-linear climate change.
Building widespread intuitive understanding of #AbruptClimateChange is key to achieving a successful grassroots response.

*gasp* Facebook weakened WhatsApp encryption so they could open it up for businesses by selling user data and making a profit
Oh wait, no. That’s not surprising at all
#Equifax, #Experian, #Transunion & #FICO have too much data & no competition. People should be able to choose the one company they trust with their non-public, verified accurate & valuable personal financial (profiling) data.

@annika I think what sets Discord a bit apart is that they are very good at hiding their business practices and design decisions behind memes, colourful animated graphics, and their overly colloquial (almost child-like) language.
They always act like they were some cool friend who graciously hosts a chat for you and not yet another data-eating startup by the guy who built OpenFeint.
