I may be alone in this, but I truly do hope the #LLMs scrape my book; #scribd sadly no longer just shares these files I entrusted to them, but perhaps the content scrapers can deal with that because I would REALLY like to see this in somebody's #AI training set, or see the output when submitted for a 'summary' 😆
Yes, it is the same length as finnegans wake, a happy coincidence. To date, I'm happy to say, no one has read it 😊

World Peatland Day: Protecting a crucial carbon sink
Peatlands are one of the world’s biggest carbon sinks. These naturally waterlogged boggy swamps can hold thousands of years’ worth of compressed, partially decomposed vegetation matter — despite covering just 3-4% of Earth’s land surface, they’re thought to store more carbon per area than the world’s forests combined. In honor of World Peatland Day on […]

Any #SailfishOS users out here know how to make #StreetComplete usable again by either disabling the any-audio-interrupting plop sounds or teaching SailfishOS to just keep playing audio if another app makes sound?

Disabling Plop/Touch sounds in StreetComplete
StreetComplete is a very cool app that makes adding data to OpenStreetMap quite fun. However, on SailfishOS there is one thing that makes it super annoying to use: Whenever one fulfils a task / answers a question, the icon vanishes with a PLOP sound, which then stops any other audio such ss the Sailfish media player. This effectively prevents listening to music or an audiobook during mapping which is indescribably annoying. Some links: from my post: A couple of other people having big probl…

Viele Menschen verstehen #Warnungen wie „#Hitzeindex“ oder „#Hitzewarnung“ falsch. Das zeigt eine US-Studie.
Fast die Hälfte hält den Hitzeindex für die reine

Bridging the Gap between National Weather Service Heat Terminology and Public Understanding
Abstract Clearly communicating heat warning information to the public is an important way to reduce heat mortality and morbidity. However, heat communication interventions from the National Weather Service commonly include technical and scientific terms, otherwise known as jargon. These terms, such as heat advisory or heat index, may not be understood by the public. Given the importance of message understanding in protective action decision-making, the purpose of this study is to assess how the…

Fossil Fuels and Fake LTNs: Reform’s Five Biggest Climate Clangers Since Local Elections
In the local elections on 1 May, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK took control of 10 councils and two regional mayoralties. The party vowed to scrap climate initiatives in the authorities, and has reportedly already set up an Elon Musk-inspired “DOGE” (Department of Government Efficiency) at Kent County Council in order to identify potential cuts to […]
