Debian is a community distro. Ubuntu is downstream of it.

Germany: driest March since 1881 and one of driest years since February.

The economy has effectively (ignoring statistic trickery) shrunk for the third consecutive year. Forecast is more of the same.

Polls show political landscape rearranging itself in realtime. The EU elites consider the cover of war lucrative, so it shall continue. The not so splendid isolation of the West is now graven in stone.

Emergent ensemble behaviour and evolutionary (including sexual selection for conspicuous consumption and winner-takes-all) are probably already sufficient explanation for us having near zero degrees of freedom collectively.

Okay, so you pass the global laws which enforces emission limits. The corporations comply. Very soon, most of humanity’s physical activities stop, including not just amenities but basic human life support. People start rioting and dying en masse. Earth population plummets to less 10% of the current population, possibly a lot lower. The Earth ecosystem, while severely damaged by the collapse, recovers, in the very long run.

But wait, this would have happened anyway, albeit slower.

Can we soften the blow, by cushioning the fall? Only in theory. In practice, the global system is out of control. We have about zero degrees of freedom collectively.

Granted. What then?

It is greenwashing bullshit, of course. No such thing. Unless it’s a hammock in a tree.

So what kind of action do you want to see?

So Digg used to think as well.

1. ban all the content creators
2. …
3. Profit!

…wait, something doesn’t feel right.

Young people are always ignorant, relatively. They haven’t been around long enough to learn much, after all. However, the quality of education has been empirically declining over many decades, and mobile devices are extemely efficient accelerants of brain rot.

CIFS or NFS?

The big wave was after 1950. This when our energy use and associated growth went into overdrive.

What we know is that they easily migrate into older sediment layers, so being less useful as dating markers.

Don’t. Please.

You rely on professional fabrications of misinformation to tell you the truth about who is producing misinformation? Don’t fall for crude propaganda. When empires end they do some self-destructive things. It’s normal.

The new generation of Russian fast neutron reactors use lead and lead-bismuth as coolant, not sodium anymore. They are not proper breeders, as I understood it.

It is not an equilibrium since enrichening, so yes.

Thorium fuel cycle is useful for weapon production. Germany also abandoned thorium despite no interest in weapon production.

One is primary literature, the other is mass media discussion. Complementary and more visibility for an underappreciated topic vs climate.

Some of the new Russian reactor types are designed to burn away dangerous hot actinides. MSR need onboard fuel processing to continue to operate anyway.
