Trump needs tariffs for preparing war.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting internal education sessions are way too infrequent here as well. There are a bunch of “knowledge transfer” meetings actually, but 90% of the topics already sound totally boring to me. The other 9% talks turned out to be underwhelming, sadly. I only attended a single one where it was delivered what has been promised. They’re all talks, not real hands-on trainings like you did.

Once a year the security guys organize a really great hacking event, though. Teams can volunteer to hand in their software dev instances and all workmates are invited to hack them and report security vulnerabilities. That’s a lot of fun, but also gets frustrating towards the end when you don’t make any progress. :-) There’s also some actual hands-on training in advance for preparation of the two days. Unfortunately, I missed the last event due to my own project being very stressful at the time.

When I had a Do What You Want Day I also show my direct teammates what I learned in the hopes of this being interesting to them as well. I’m the only one in my team using this opportunity, sadly.

It was the first time this year that we had half proper April weather and a thunderstorm in general. It started off with clear sky and lovely sunshine. Right after arvo lunch it started to rain, so we went into the hut. Then, the sun returned.

On the way back with the growling thunder in the distance coming closer and closer we escaped the rain just perfectly. A minute or two after we reached the car, wet stuff started coming down the sky. Not even half a minute after opening the front door, it poured like crazy. Lucky twice today. There’s beautiful sunshine again by now. It smells absolutely great after the rain. I love it!

She has also always been a submissive doxy to Trump, and I am not surprised that he chose her to introduce legislation to legalize his previously non-existent DOGE agency that is going to gut d … ⌘ Read more

Benji Jones,   Environmental Correspondent   -  Vox

_Stephan: Nothing I see suggests to me that the coming christofascist autocracy is going to do anything substantial about protecting the matrix of life from the devastation of climate change. Here is a sense of what is coming. I urge you to get involved with some citizens’ movement that works to protect democracy and prepare meaningfully to change the … ⌘ Read more

A surprise solar boom reveals a fatal flaw in our climate change projections
Noah Gordon and Daevan Mangalmurti,  Staff Writers  -  Vox

_Stephan: I took two things away from this report. First, how poorly humanity is assessing its power needs and preparing for exiting the carbon power era. Second, how poorly the United States is doing in this, and how we are being seriously outclassed by China. As the report says, “The world is already on track to … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de going a little sideways on this, “*If twtxt/Yarn was to grow bigger, then this would become a concern again.
