When you look back at 2023, what do you see?

The power of a movement takes millions - and millions can make dreams come true.

What do you dream for 2024?

Tell them you’re doing all you can to remove data rights.

The government is gifting itself powers to check the bank accounts of anyone who claims a benefit.

And that includes the State Pension.

Or say no to welfare surveillance in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.

China has experienced increasingly extreme weather in recent years, and it is causing serious human and economic damage. Could the current country-wide freeze be due to anthropogenic climate change? It's a distinct possibility.

Hopefully, the current cold spell may soon be offset by a moderate El Nino.

Oh awesome, I open my app to find the #fediverse in a giant collective panic because a social platform owned by a giant company *dares* to join it.

Fedi: “I want an open platform where everything is standardized”
(#Threads enables ActivityPub)
Fedi: “NOT LIKE THAT ANYTHING BUT THAT”

If you declare an open standard and provide the clearly superior ecosystem, you relinquish control of who uses it just by it being open. You can’t have it both ways. Ever.

Mone is a'moaning again...

"If I’m being honest, the public probably see me as a horrible person, a liar, or even a cheat. But I am none of those things."

We do, and you are.

Looking forward to the court reports.

Die Staaten dieser Welt haben sich entschieden, das Klima nicht zu retten. Also können wir doch eigentlich unser Wehklagen einstellen und stolzen Hauptes unserem Untergang entgegensehen, oder?
#cop28

Has COP28 redefined consensus to mean all but the unimportant parties? With the small island states not party to the agreement trumpeted today, that's what it looks like to me. Whither the sovereignty of states?

COP28 is bullshit, and an abject failure.

I know we've all got used to the batshittery of Torygraph commentary but this has to be two of the most profoundly offensive headlines I have ever seen.

Op 16 december deelt Meer Bomen Nu 100.000 bomen uit. Meer Bomen Nu redt opkomende boompjes uit parken en natuurgebieden. Overal komen boompjes op waar ze niet groot kunnen worden. Door deze uit te scheppen en te herplanten kunnen we Nederland groener maken.

Het plantgoed is gratis, circulair en veelal inheems. Tienduizenden bomen worden zo gered, verzameld en opgeslagen in bomenhubs. Op 20 plekken door heel Nederland kan men gratis bomen en struiken ophalen! #urgenda
