Yeah these people are no better than Guy McPherson. Let's all give up and become mars. I say we fight like Zelenskyy and try to solve the climate crisis.

Interesting... thanks for the links. SAPGen is a private company so what ever they build will need to compete with all that wind and solar. Also did you look at the graph from Tasmania? - too bad they are doing other unrelated environmenta

As an Australian, I feel like we're all just squatters on the mining companies land. They are tolerating us for now. If you are Adrian Burragubba from the Wangan & Jagalingou people their patience has run out.

My money in the bank suddenly feels less secure. What are the odds this will cause a run on the banks (ah-la toilet paper) ?

Hey Charles, thank you for your wonderful book. "Programming Windows 3.1". I read every page and it was a great kick start to becoming a working programmer. Not sure if I should mention, I ditched Windows for Linux when XP came ou

This very depressing number should be on the mast-head of every news paper/web along side the covid statistics. One good thing about covid was a distraction from climate depression.

That's what I was thinking! So here's my suggestion: add some text adventure games. Use emscriptem to convert frotz or something similar to javascript.

This story is not directly related to chrome. In the original version of the legislation, google and facebook were required to pay up each time they served an <a> tag that pointed news.com sites. That's what google meant by &quot

Oh no, my computer might be at risk! So that's what I missed out on when I switched to linux :) (Fantastic effort guys)

It's a cool idea. Here's another one; a Mira fractal generator in SmallBASIC: https://smallbasic.github.io/images/screenshots/mira.bas.png

Very nice! Humble suggestion: Add some Neil Young and Joni Mitchel tunings.

Snap is irritating, but for a single desktop, easy to remove and easy to live without. It's not half as annoying as owning a samsung android device.

Agreed - a single fire doesn't mean squat. Fires breaking out all over like an alien invasion mean the climate has already changed: https://myfirewatch.landgate.wa.gov.au

It's been nice in Brisbane the past few weeks. I'm starting to feel "survivor guilt". For the people saying we need less trees, please watch this: https://youtu.be/SIHIsSJ2Txk

C with valgrind and other analysis tools (clang scan-build/cppcheck etc) make for a powerful combination. There should be a dinky acronym. But, never gonna happen in my workplace.

Some people have turned "ICE vehicles" into a disparaging remark. I prefer to call them 'koala crematoriums' (please consider donating to any of various koala rescue funds).

I can't see organisations motivated by profit making much difference here. Also existing organisations focused solely on the issue have not made much difference thus far. I think a better model is where the EPA becomes a branch of the

It can come from defence and foreign aid budgets since these interests are directly aligned.

Isn't the problem that we're already scheduled to be killing a lot of people due to inaction? We need to find a path that maximises the chances for the remaining survivors.

I like ALDI - i just i wish they would stock WeetBix HiBran - other than that it's a pretty cool store.

But still, it's more likely we'd find evidence of a distant past civilisation on the moon than on earth right?
