While air conditioning may be appropriate in certain contexts research has shown that a universal focus on technical solutions risks deepening inequality

House Republicans Squash Venezuela War Powers Resolutions
This follows two failed Senate attempts to stop Trump from continuing military action without congressional approval.

This looks very useful but I‘m reluctant to share this. Every computer tip that is just „open an admin terminal and enter this command that executes stuff right from a github URL“ is dangerous. Even if that one is OK - it teaches people that this kind of thing is not a super red flag for malware exploits. https://toot.communi…

Trump's EPA decides climate change doesn't endanger public health—the evidence says otherwise
The Trump administration took a major step in its efforts to unravel America's climate policies on Feb. 12, 2026, when it moved to rescind the 2009 endangerment finding—a formal determination that six greenhouse gases that drive climate change, including carbon dioxide and methane from burning fossil fuels, endanger public health and welfare.

Satellites help tackle landfill methane leaks
Satellites are emerging as a powerful new tool in the fight to curb emissions of methane. While methane is much shorter-lived in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, it is vastly more potent at trapping heat, which makes rapid cuts essential for slowing warming in the short term. The same satellite technology that has transformed methane monitoring in the oil and gas sector is now being turned toward another major source—landfill sites.
