1/2 'Glitzer' #FotoVorschlag 'glitter'
I don't have a lot of glitter in my portfolio. But #snowflakes can be like glitter in the counter light!
I took this #photo …

In this image, we see snow falling gently on a hill, creating a serene winter scene. The landscape is dominated by shades of grey and white, with the snow-covered hill standing out against the overcast sky. The image conveys a sense of cold and isolation, with the freezing temperatures evident in the snow-covered terrain. The outdoor mountain setting adds to the feeling of remoteness and tranquility. The overall composition captures the beauty of nature in its winter state, highlighting the pea…

Do the rich pay their fair share? Enumerating the price of flying (and abolishing) premium air travel
Premium air travel is often associated with a disproportionately large carbon emissions footprint. This association reflects the increased space and amenities typically found in premium cabins that existing discourse suggests makes their carriage more fuel, and consequently carbon, intensive. One increasingly popular solution is disincentivizing the use of premium cabins in favor of all-economy cabins. How effective might such a policy be. To what extent. And how may the revenue impact affect t…

I made a poll to see what generation do programmers in the Fediverse belong. 1,184 of you participated, and this resulted in the following distribution:
82.88 of you reported being a Baby Boomer.
473.6 of you said you belong to Generation X.
532.8 of you said you are Millennials.
82.88 of you said you don't belong to any of these three.
I was surprised to see these many Generation Xers at 40%, vs Millenials at 45%.

In a marketing experiment I'm looking around at different social networks. (The fediverse is great but organic advertising benefits more with more eyeballs.)
In my experiment I dusted off my ancient birdsite account to create a branded account, and FUCK, I didn't completely understand just the level of vitriol and hatred that frequently gets promoted over there!
With my branded account I'm following tech folks and game publishers, and even in those chats extremist ri…

I have a question about the following:
Space-X satellites are relatively low orbit - they go around the world, their radio/signal footprint on the ground goes around the world with them.
So how does a single country, the US, issue "license" for radio spectrum that apply outside of the US geographic borders?
"SpaceX buys wireless spectrum from EchoStar in $17 billion deal"

Enlightening thread on Proton's new LLM
social.cryptography.dog/@ansuz

ansuz / ऐरन (@ansuz@social.cryptography.dog)
I know that a bunch of people in my general region of the fediverse already stopped using #Proton because of their CEO's fascist inclinations, and that if you're following me you're probably already sick of generative AI. Even so, I feel like this is worth pointing out if only for harm reduction. Proton has introduced their own LLM model, or perhaps an integration of an existing "open-source" model (the OSI's definition, presumably) which they haven't credited: https://proton.me/blog/lumo-ai …

Can utilities replace power lines with solar and batteries in remote areas?
