Saturday I am doing my usual CodeClub at my local library, then sunday is American Football training, which this week is more of a social / fun session at the local beach / seafront.

So can @greenpeace make this point too, so peole understand oil is not just about CO_2 but stopping oil will also reduce plastic production and pollution too.

@Virginicus @pattykimura @futurebird

Lol, oops

@marytzu @mzedp

Thanks, i will try and look in to this for my blog article

@marytzu @mzedp

This is why I want a wider discussion, But good point in making things from wood, may be more expensive but it does in many cases look nicer.

Door handles can be made from metals, (e.g brass) which are more recycalable anyway.

@davidho

I agree here, we just need to reduce emissions of greeenhouse gasses. However does removing CO_2 solve the problem, which I made a point about before that there are also other gasses that adding to warming, plus emissions of particulates that are linked to respiratory problems and cancers.

@davidho

Kind of like with radioactive waste, lets put it in storage and leave it, oh then let future generations monitor and deal with it.

@pattykimura @futurebird

I think we should encourage kids to do experiments, I was a bit older when I got a chemistry set, lots of fun, still have various notes about what happens when chem x is mixed with chem y.

I want to do this more, the stem group I run is meant to have a practical science element to it, but I am stuck doing computing a lot of the time.

Hopefully that will change as I have lots of nice sciency stuff I want to do and help visitors to do too.

@billbennett

Perhaps this is the price paid for centralisation and having to trust someone else to do the work of hosting stuff.

If you run your own services on an indeoendent server service, there is a huge amount of work involved, at one time there were many people with those skills, you could easily find expertise at the local computer group meetings.

I get the impression now there are less experts around and those who are, are more reluctant ( and I understand that ) to get involved.

Just as fedi, gives people mroe control, there is more work involved in running the service, we need to find a way to bring more people together so we can run more of these services away from central controls,

Easier said than done, but we are just at the mercy of big tech all the time, which is not good.

@HamonWry

Interesting question, perhaps we should ask the church if she was raped by god (non consensual sex).

@Loukas

While I agree, but if they are here even in the form of a bot that can post content that is posted elsewhere on their channels it would help them reach out, plus that content would in effect ne subscribe only as only those following would see it.

If it was an offical bot account then it would take content and publish here, we can still interact with it, or at least favorite / boost, but that is a starting point.

There is always talk of social media being the main battle ground, well things need to start somewhere.

@Loukas @anderspuck

I agree, I can see the Tories losing the next election but even with a majority for labour, we NEED a strong opposition to hold themk to account, ask the right questions and ensure election promises are kept.

Perhaps one way for them to win, would be for labour to have a presense on fedi, we are building numbers and need to be able to interact and learn what policies they have from social media as in here. They are NOT going to reach potential voters here by being on mainstream social media.
