Poster announcing KDE Eco's monthly meetings, in which like-minded people, like yourself, get together to work on reducing computing's impact on the climate.

Screenshot of a headline of the Verge. A photo shows Satya Nadella talking about Copilot at some bullshit Microsoft event and the headline itself reads: "Microsoft’s Al obsession is jeopardizing its climate ambitions" The introductory paragraph reads: "After pledging to slash its greenhouse gas emissions, Microsoft’s climate pollution has grown by 30 percent as the company prioritizes AI."

    You forgot quantum! We're developing super duper plants that suck the carbon out of the atmosphere harder than a crack whore and make everything great for everyone (with money)!!!

    As a fellow baltic sea dweller, I really need that statue somewhere in my neighborhood.

    Most jobs don’t need these strict schedules, though. I get it in hospitals, factories, etc., but everyone else could easily switch to looser time slots.

    For example, I’m technically on what’s called Gleitzeit (sliding time?), that means, there’s a core 6h window from 9 to 3, where I’m supposed to work, but where I put the other 2h is up to me. In terms of commuting, that model would help smoothing the traffic curve.

    Boiling down your statement: it’s only genocide, if it’s politically opportune to call it that.

    The good news is: you can easily achieve fusion at this point.

    For the non-germans: “Hurensohn” means “son of a whore”. It’s the standard issue insult among younger germans.

    It would be nice to have curtains that absorb street noise.

    Some custom curtain tailors offer a fabric that claims to be soundproof. It’s a little pricey. Not absurdly pricey, but it’s also a bit hard to be confident that such thin fabrics can absorb much sound (they claim 20%).

    I would prefer to try hacks. I’ve heard that thick furniture moving pads absorb sound well. I’ve also heard that fiberous fabrics can be effective. For the moment, I probably want to pass on edgy ideas like egg cartons. Maybe later on those. What fabrics are decent for reducing sound? Specifically, I’m wondering about carpets or painter’s drop cloths. Not the simple white canvas drop cloths, but the thicker drop cloths may out of recycled fabrics.

    Sounds hates mass, so the easiest and cheapest option would be heavy curtains, the heavier the better.
