Think about a pedestrian/cyclist being hit by a car: the person with the lowest carbon footprint, space use, noise and pollution production hit by a high carbon, space-guzzling, noisy and polluting box of metal.

Roads are for **people**, not for cars - cars have their uses, but that does not imply that the whole system should be built to satisfy their merest whim.

So well done Wales for making 20mph the default speed limit in residential/built-up areas.

For years we wondered. What use would humanity find for cryptocurrency? Now we know. It is not necessarily a force for good.

I've had this image on my desktop for years now and every time I open it and re-read it I send a silent thank you to hyperactivehedgehog for posting it because it *always* makes me laugh.

Airbus open sourced their new cockpit font. Make it the default for all your embedded projects, because it's REALLY good and has real testing in difficult environments!

"We have launched the #GlobalClimatestrike at the North Pole, where colleagues from the #Polarstern #ArcWatch expedition from @awi & other institutes are documenting the impact of #ClimateChange.

We must #EndFossilFuels urgently!" - @AWIs4Future

The other day I was arguing with a colleague, & I said that I thought 95% of the funds getting thrown at AI would be better spent strengthening infrastructure to handle climate change. He said “AI will fix climate change.”

Now I think 100% of those funds should be redirected.

Inflacja? - nie: shrinkflacja!

Nestlé i Unilever odmówiły komentarza, a PepsiCo nie odpowiedziało.

Dziewczyny ze szkoły średniej w Krakowie obok której pracuję muszą wpłacić po 22 złote na dzień chłopaka. Chłopcy mają dostać samochodziki z klocków lego. Dziewczyny na swój dzień 8 marca dostały po zwiędłym tulipanie. Jebać #patriarchat

Girls from the school next to where I work in Kraków, Poland have to pay PLN 22 (c. 5$) each for Boy's Day. The boys are to be given Lego cars. For their day on March 8, the girls each received a withered tulip. Fuck #patriarchy
