www.theguardian.com ‘I made curtains on the train’: the commuters livening up their journeys
From a velomobile to inline skating and audiobooks, six people reveal how travelling to work is no chore
The pandemic opened the eyes of many to the benefits of running or cycling to work – or “active commutes” – and some have kept up the habit.
No longer content with long drives or boring train rides, commuters have been seeking ways to make their journeys more productive and enjoyable.
phys.org Frequency of heat days may be systematically underestimated in many studies
Many studies on the climate crisis focus on researching temperature extremes on a global scale. Scientists at the University of Vienna have now uncovered an error in an established calculation method, leading to a systematic underestimation in the frequency of heat days.

The World Meteorological Organization's State of the Global Climate report confirms 2023 broke every single climate indicator
www.abc.net.au 'Off the charts' 2023 broke every single climate indicator, with record temperatures, ocean heat and sea level rise
The UN agency's annual State of the Global Climate report confirmed it wasn't just the hottest year on record, ocean heat reached its highest level since records began, global mean sea level also reached a record high and Antarctic sea ice reached a record low.
Support the artists ? Buying from Apple (or Amazon etc) sees you supporting Apple, supporting the publisher, the RIAA. The Artist is at the end of a long chain of grifters and middle men taking their pound of flesh.. I'd love to support the artists, if I could donate directly to them. The ones who aren't, like Taylor Swift don't need more supoort.
Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear
I think thays a good compromise. if you then have an issie with a particular user you can block them individually.
Weat Australia had its hottest summer ever, but climate change and heat-related health problems barely made the news
www.abc.net.au 'Vaguely terrifying': When heatwaves hit my city, the media downplayed the role of climate change
Most stories during WA's record-breaking heatwave last month didn't mention the health risks of extreme heat and the link with climate change, despite overwhelming scientific evidence, according to an analysis of how news outlets reported on the event.

Not sure I agree with this as any solution, tokeninstic at best, the asshats who can afford $100k+ for a ute won't give a shit about increased parking fees, well enough of a shit to complain but not enough to stop them. Just ban them.
I don't log in to YT to watch any videos, I alao use Newpipe and Stube sans account. Grouping them in Tabs to get to is great for me.
Ban cars to me is shorthand for ban private cars, has nothing to do with EMS, or even public owned shared cars for that occasional time a car might necessary.
An 80% reduction in cars should be easy. 90% reduction with a few tweeks i'd think.
I'm wondering how to connect to an org? I have no kids, had a vasectomy decades ago over concerns about world population and biodiversity issues.. I keep my carbon emissions low and vote Green. Seems to me I give more fucks about a future livable planet for other peoples children then many parents do but that aside.
Anyone aware of a genuine community org that might be interested in me leaveing them my modest house and they can use it to house people ? I am guessing they'll get fucked over with stamp duty though for the title transfer, so maybe a modest sum to cover that for them as well?
Currently my will specifies everything is liquidated and then distributing the proceeds to reputable charities so, maybe that still makes more sense?
I am 58, I have a vague memory of being lied too about Father Christmas , being told thays not true even though I was assured he was originally and then thinking the same thing about god (catholic family) but figured out for myself that it was bullshit. Doesnt take much ciritcal thinking, even as a kid to realise that.
I had to LARP for a bit but stopped the nonsense of church etc when I was allowed too as a young teen. Reading more widely after that you get to see some of the utter horrors caused by religion and release how toxic they are.
An example, lived in Cambodia many many years ago and a bunch of evangelicals wouldn't let locals use a water well until they "converted". A constant reminder of the toxic nature of religion.

www.theguardian.com ‘I’m going to defy expectations’: Western Sydney artist Marikit Santiago wins $80,000 La Prairie award
Lush portraits of Filipino-Australian family will join Art Gallery of NSW collection, as the artist travels to Europe to visit Renaissance paintings that inspired her
A three-time Archibald Prize finalist, Santiago’s work is inspired by her Filipino heritage,
Right, it's not like there aren't billions and billions of religious nutters out there. I mean I don't see aethiests killing people for believing in a fairy god monster and yet if you said you're an atheist in Saudia Araiba etc you'd be killed. The fuck sort of tolerating intolerace is that?
Aethiets are pushing up not down, mocking people for believing in fairy tales seems a very sensible reaction ? especially when they inevitably double down on their nonsense.
Being "well meaning" and using "a toxic billionare run platform" are incompatable. You can be one ...or the other, you can't be both.
Ignorance isnt an excuse. Let then stay with their toxicity is all that's being asked.

Nice to see some sensible policy for a change. Alas they have no hope of getting in :(

No idea , woukd be nice to know. Are there unhedged funds from them with low fees?
‘Climate Optimism’ Is Dangerous and Irrational ❧ Current Affairs
Just as a addendum to this, there's a book "What Lies Beneath" What lies Beneath with a super interesting foreword by Hans Joachim Schellnhuber about the very real dangers of relying on statistical models and doing nothing.
You don't have to read the entire book but I'd encourage everyone interested to read the foreword.
I find Edges grouped tabs well implemented, not sure why Firefox doesnt move this way natively?
As to 14 tabs, I'd have 50 or more
I was expecting a hot day (by Tassie standards, being from Far NQ originally all those years ago) up here in the NE as well but my little weather station showed 24.6 as the max for the day. But it is why I moved here, cooler, wetter, 300m ASL.
Pretty much this but another point of difference with say the US is that (Utes) (trucks) in Australia would be classified as "cars" and not commercial vehicles. Which is why you can see so many giant fuck off trucks in the US, they're not part of the legislation ... loopholes. Currently they want Government to have the same loophole as the US, so Toyota -> Hilux Ford -> Ranger etc can keep bringing in their big sellers with no penalty,
As an Austrian I can only agree,

Climate scientist Bill McGuire writes on his conundrum: what’s happening to our planet scares the hell out of him—but if he shouts the unvarnished truth from the rooftops, will that inspire you to act or to give up?
Editor’s Note: Bill McGuire is professor emeritus of geophysical & climate hazards at University College London and author of “Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant’s Guide.”
