@trinsec most people don’t though, and cans are super easy to recycle
@alan oh really? Cool
@pleiades well… yeah, but that’s just wishful thinking unfortunately
Why is water always sold in plastic bottles and not in a can? Would be so much better for the environment…

People talk about "releasing" software, stop doing that!
Software raised in captivity cannot survive in the wild! Feral software is also a big threat to digital biodiversity. Do not release software.

re: carbon pol
Now, I will say: there's reasons why I think individual action isn't sufficient (but it's absolutely necessary!).
But, my point is, that's not because of something silly like 100 companies being the vast majority of the problem and just stopping those emitters being enough to solve the problem... because they're not the majority of emissions, their billions of customers are.

When I do ctrl-c after deciding not to run a shell command, I’m surprised it’s not a general practice for shells to strike through the never-executed command, especially given such stylistic adjustments were possibly even back in the day of teletypes

Happy 109 anniversary to this little nugget of an article. We've known what the problem is for over a century.
The reason I’m anti-big-corporate isn’t because I’m against people working for some collective goal, but because there are selfish people in this world and they are attracted to big-corporations like moths to a flame

We have a standard, ISO 8601.
YYYY-MM-DD
I always use it that way if not otherwise stated that I shall not.

@Pat I’ll agree that it’s a debated point, much like the Oxford comma, and The Guardian comes down on the lowercase side, but it just feels wrong to me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization_of_Internet
Internet is a pronoun and should be capitalised, the header image is from nearly 2 decades ago, and the byline needs an Oxford comma — get proper editor, The Guardian!

@phel @wolfie This is correct. Podcasting isn't about what's in the content of the audio, it's about the way in which it's distributed. It's about the particular combination of downloadable audio files and openly-syndicated RSS feeds.
It's like how there are a zillion ways to send text-based content around the Internet, but only one method using a certain category of software configured to automatically interoperate among users' devices in a particular manner can properly be called "email."

A "podcast" behind a paywall is not a podcast.
A "podcast" that only one app can receive is not a podcast.
A "podcast" without a public feed that can be freely pulled into any podcast client or RSS reader is not a damn podcast, don't let people get away with calling it that.
AI, doing great things for society, once again…

Sometimes I think we really need a codified constitution in the U.K., especially when the government just need a majority to do away with stuff like the Fixed-term Parliaments Act
