So, wie Audiophile um Rock-Platten aus den späten 1990ern und den 2000ern einen großen Bogen machen (zu Sound-Matsch gemastert wegen Loudness-War), werden Bibliophile irgendwann mal bevorzugt Bücher kaufen, die vor 2023 erschienen sind. Weil man da weitgehend sicher sein kann, dass diese Bücher noch ohne AI-Unterstützung und ganz sicher nicht von einer AI alleine geschrieben wurden. #justthinkin

Elon Musk's $1 trillion Tesla pay plan wins shareholder approval -
That's paying Musk 9 times the total turnover of Tesla in 2024 (which was 1% higher than that in 2023). Sounds a bit over the top. It's also more than $100 for every person on earth. The combined result of the greediness of Musk and the craziness of Tesla's shareholders.

A NASA mission that studied the interior of hurricanes collected its final data on Nov. 12, as the last two CubeSats in its fleet were powered down prior to re-entering Earth’s atmosphere: #TROPICS (Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats) mission originally consisted of four identical, milk carton-sized satellites that launched in May 2023.

Got my #Fairphone running /e/OS , a deGoogled Android OS.

I took a bit of a gamble, as I wasn't sure all the apps I really need would run. Turns out they do, including the Nordea ID app.

It is usable as a daily driver.
/e/OS looks clean and uncluttered too.

I wasn't previously aware, but apparently the government is looking, again, at updating the Computer Misuse Act 1990 with proposals to protect researchers. (Although I haven't seen an open consultation since 2023.)

Reasonably favorable poll, 4 days before the Dutch elections.
Wilders' PVV going downhill, although still the largest. Current right-far-right coalition partners together polling at 46 out of 150 seats, while they had 88 in the previous elections (2023), losing half of their support in 2 years.

Massachusetts could soon join 40 other jurisdictions with its own climate bank. Ceres CEO Mindy Lubber testified on Beacon Hill for legislation that would blend public and private investments to fund low-interest loans for clean energy projects.
The model works: similar banks invested $10.6B in 2023 alone. Lubber urged prioritizing environmental justice communities alongside rural and coastal areas.
