News | Tagesschau: AfD-Video - Fragwürdige Thesen über Solar- und Windanlagen


Zerfetzte Vögel, zuckende Tierleichen, abgeräumte Wälder: In einem Video prangert die AfD an, dass Wind- und Solaranlagen massive Schäden in der Natur anrichten würden. Was ist an den Vorwürfen dran?

Lange hat sich die AfD bei der Umweltpolitik weitestgehend zurückgehalten. Doch mittlerweile äußert sich die Partei regelmäßig zu dem Bereich, vor allem zum Thema Klimaschutz. Die AfD behauptet beispielsweise in dem Video "Fünf grüne Umweltsünden angeprangert", dass Windräder, Solaranlagen und Rapsfelder massiv Vögel und Insekten töten würden...

Meine Meinung: Immer wieder schön zu sehen wenn die Halbwahrheiten und Lügen der AfD zerlegt werden.

Socialhome v0.10.0 released







Just over a year ago we released v0.9.0 with the intention of not releasing another (non-patch) release before #ActivityPub support is at a state of at least alpha level usability. I (Jason, author) must admit, this took longer than I excepted. Partial reason for this was huge changes that happened in my life - a divorce and switch from employee to entrepreneur. There were times were I hadn't looked at any of the code for a month and spent hours just catching up where things were.

There was also a huge amount of refactoring needed to make #Socialhome, which was designed for the #Diaspora protocol, happy with two protocols. While ActivityPub covers the same use cases (in a much more flexible way), it is fundamentally different in how profile and content identity is handled. Most of this refactoring happened in the federation library, which has to job of worrying about all this protocol stuff leaving the Socialhome changes mostly dealing with data storage.

This is easily the biggest single push that has been made for this project. It has also meant that not many features or UI changes have landed during the last year. I think however expanding the reach of Socialhome users from approx 25K monthly active users to around 500K monthly active users is probably worth it.

Simultaneously is released v0.18 of the federation library which handles all the actual protocol level logic.

A total of 460 commits (of which 170 to the federation library) went into this release by four authors, changing 392 files (33096 insertions, 7410 deletions).

Other highlights

  • Tag streams (followed tags) was added.
  • Scope of incoming integration for the Diaspora protocol Social-Relay can be set by the server admin.
  • Users now have a "followers" page similar to their "following" page to see who they are followed by. This is only available to the user themselves.
  • #Python 3.6 is now the lowest supported version.
  • Rewritten contacts page with more visually pleasing boxes instead of a table from the nineties.
Plus various smaller changes and fixes, see the full changelog here.

What's next?


Now that ActivityPub support has been shipped, it's time to make it more robust and compatible with other platforms. This will take time and happen gradually. Please do report all the bugs you may find in our chat or in the issue tracker.

There will also be more focus on the UI side of things and adding more features now that all the time doesn't have to be spent on the federation layer. @{https://diaspodon.fr/users/AugierLe42e} has already spent some time rewriting the publisher in #VueJS and various UI design rewrite/change proposals have been submitted from the community (one, two).

Docker


This release is also the first one that has Docker images published. #Docker will be the suggested installation method from now on. Any manual installation guides will be accepted but will not be maintained in the official docs.

Due to the Docker image being new, feedback is very welcome from Docker enthusiasts. Let us know how it worked for you and what needs better solutions or documentation.

What is Socialhome?


Socialhome is best described as a #federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using #Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the ActivityPub and Diaspora protocols.

Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a Socialhome profile itself.

News | RNZ: Digitaler Stromfresser - Das Internet ist ein Öko-Monster


Die Dimensionen des Verbrauchs sind schwindelerregend und können die Energiewende gefährden - Kommt so der Atomstrom wieder?

Früh morgens, gleich geht es mit der Tochter zum Kindergarten, dann zur Arbeit. Ein paar Minuten ist noch Zeit, um Facebook zu checken, zwei Bilder von gestern hochzuladen, einen Tweet abzusetzen und bei Google nach dem Schauspieler des gestrigen Films zu suchen. Ganz normaler Alltag. Überall. Geht alles ganz fix - und kostet fast nix...

Meine Meinung: In der Tat ist der Ressourcenverbrauch für unser digitales Leben (nicht nur das Internet und nicht nur der Strom) besorgniserregend. Die Frage ist jedoch wie wir dort umsteuern könnten. Bei den Geräten wäre es z. B. im staatlichen Rahmen sinnvoll das ElektroG im ökologischen Sinne zu reformieren und endlich mit Zähnen, sprich mit heftigen Strafen bei Verstößen zu versehen. Natürlich sollte es da im §4 nicht mehr von 'möglich' etc. hageln sondern es sollten klare und harte Vorgaben gemacht werden. Was den Stromverbrauch betrifft möchte ich darauf hinweisen das dieser nicht unerheblich daran liegt das wir eine gigantische zentralistische Serverinfrastruktur haben, welche dem eigentlichen Ansatz des Internets vollkommen widerspricht. Und selbst bei verteilten Ansätzen wie z. B. Diaspora, haben wir immer noch weitaus mehr Server am Laufen als wir für das was wir damit machen bräuchten. Deshalb ist es in meinen Augen wichtig dahingehend zu einer komplett bzw. wenn das nicht möglich ist weitgehend massiven dezentralen Lösung zum Austausch von Daten und Inhalten kommen müssen. Das diese natürlich gleichzeitig auf Anonymität und Sicherheit ausgelegt sein sollte brauche ich wohl nicht weiter zu erwähnen.

As I wrote before, good old troll mr. Trump has an excellent sense of humour. His new joke is...
Donald J. Trump

She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.

So nice to see!

... By the way. it's not a joke!
I think that this annoyed girl has a very happy future. For example:
- UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador;
- The leader of the Green party;
- The head of European Youth Parliament;
- The head of European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety;
- UN Goodwill Ambassadors (as Angelina Jolie, happy mom of 30 :) Vietnamese kids);
- Nobel Peace Prize;
- ...
- PROFIT!

How one replete girl from successful country 'defends the Mother Earth'... or WHY nobody can't say: 'Greta, you are seriously ill and must go to the doctor... not to UN tribune?


Daily Mail: Who's REALLY behind 16-year-old Greta Thunberg? Ugly feud between her opera singer-turned-climate-activist mother and the green PR man who she accuses of exploiting her

Herald Sun: The disturbing secret to the cult of Greta Thunberg

Svenska Dagbladen: Swedish start-up used Greta Thunberg to bring in millions. Ingmar Rentzhog, an entrepreneur who claims he found and helped develop the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg into a world phenomenon, also used her name to bring in almost SEK 10 million in venture capital for his company - without her knowledge, SvD has found.

Independent: Theresa May criticises schoolchildren protesting against looming climate disaster for wasting lesson time. Children needed to be in school to become the future professionals who can help solve climate change

GQ Magazine: The cynical version has it that it is her parents who have pushed her into this, writing her speeches - now collected in book form, No One Is Too Small To Make a Difference - and pimping their daughter to promote their cause.

Mirror: Debating on the UN Climate Action Summit of more than 60 world leaders, Mr Knowles, told Fox News: "The climate hysteria movement is not about science. "It if were about science it would be led by scientists, rather than politicians and a mentally ill Swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international left."

I know a great secret: the new president of The Free Software Foundation will be...

... [according a proposal of Red Hat it will be] one-legged lesbian-autist from Guinea-Bissau! :) Really!

Red Hat: Open letter to the Free Software Foundation Board of Directors

September 18, 2019
Red Hat

To the Board of Directors of the Free Software Foundation (FSF):

The free software movement draws strength from an environment that is collaborative, inclusive and respectful. Diverse groups of people from all walks of life and nationalities come together and use their strengths and life experiences to contribute, share ideas, challenge the status quo, and improve technology for all. Everyone, including those who have been underrepresented and marginalized in technology, should be able to freely participate to produce useful software including in open source communities.

Red Hat urges the FSF board to seize the opportunity during its current leadership succession by appointing a president and members of its board that are more diverse, including from a national, racial and gender perspective.

https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/open-letter-free-software-foundation-board-directors
Please, read it twice:

Red Hat urges the FSF board to seize the opportunity during its current leadership succession by appointing a president and members of its board that are more diverse, including from a national, racial and gender perspective.

What? ... Before this moment I trusted in fact that FSF requires PROFESSIONALS and SPECIALISTS ... not freaks and miserable meeeetooo 'activists'!

According to local Hong Kong media reports, Beijing authorities asked Hogg to hand over a list of Cathay Pacific employees who had taken part in the recent anti-extradition bill protests in Hong Kong. Instead of betraying his employees and endangering their safety, he only provided a list of one name, his own.

Hogg's resignation was first made public by Chinese state-run media outlet CCTV at 4:50 p.m. on Aug. 16.
