For instance, you can visit the new StarTrek lemmy server here: https://startrek.website/c/startrek. Looks like a reddit sub with posts, threaded comments, upvotes, &c.

OR you can follow the same server on Mastodon ‪@startrek‬.

Me, looking at car: I’ve got two flat tires.
Brain: And a microphone!
Me: That doesn’t make any sense.
Brain: Where it’s at!

Since I often re-toot other folks’ jobs listings, here’s one for my team… like literally, my 10-person team… in Developer Publications. Software Engineering Authors write API docs, feature articles, and sample code. And we’re increasingly closely embedded with the framework engineers as the platforms evolve, so you get to play a role in the future of iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS. Sounds fun, right?

As an end of the month reminder, look at how much faster the land is warming (where we live) - this point can be obscured in the global mean plots...

Make your garden an insect-friendly oasis this spring by leaving a portion of your lawn dedicated to native flowers and attract bees, ants and butterflies (it saves you work, too).

#IPCC What I heard from the lead author's today:

•We'll pass 1.5° in early 2030s
•Rest of 2020s is key
•Storm frequency / severity will continue to go up
•All projects should be climate solutions
•Financing is needed & a good financial investment
•To work, ideas need to be vetted by community partners
•We have good tools + science already
•Mitigation / adaptation are more possible now than ever.

Public transport isn't supposed to make money. It's not even supposed to break even. It's supposed to lose money and to be financed and extended from general taxes because it gives back way more than mere money.

And all the politicians know this because they keep building and maintaining streets for free

Right now, the entire country of Denmark is using 4.245MW of electricity.

Windmills are producing: 3.442 MW
Solar is producing: 746 MW

So if we do the math, wind + solar = 98.7% of our energy use right now is 100% renewable

Just a reminder that not only can we fix climate change, we are fixing it.

The prophecy warned us

I did part of this!
