Impressive real-world numbers of EDF 🇫🇷 (with its smart charging subsidiary DREEV) for charging a fleet of electric waste collection trucks:
10 MWh of charging for 10 trucks, at a cost of minus €129, by collecting otherwise wasted energy and providing grid support

Google Search rests on a social contract: their bots can crawl our sites, they can index our sites, and they can show excerpts of our sites because
and •only because•
they send people to our sites. •Our• sites, our words, with our design, with our links, with our context and our aesthetics, shared the way we want to share them.
Google is announcing — unambiguously and with great fanfare — that they are now fully breaking that already-ragged contract. We should reciprocate.

I really want social media to save the context of when you block someone so that you can later know what the asshole did when you’re no longer sure when you blocked them.
E.g. “you blocked this account on this specific reply”
Ideally let me add a private note.
❔ How can climate mobility function as a proactive strategy for women and marginalised groups? What influences decision-making processes to migrate or to stay? What do governments and stakeholders need to do to increase women's agency?
