Pledges coming from proprietary software companies mean nothing

Get behind the community that is really fighting to curb climate change:

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."

    @rbreich sharing a youtube link with a google utm campaign tracking on mastodon is pretty ironic.

    I'd recommend using peertube or invidious links if you're going to be sharing links on mastodon.

    I'd love to show whomever is doing your marketing how to if they are interested. :ablobblewobble:

    Why do you appreciate unions?

    I’ll start:

    Weekends off
    Paid vacations
    Work breaks
    Sick leave
    Paid holidays
    No child labor
    Safer working conditions
    Health care and retirement benefits

    Getting to have an opinion that counts.

    Basically unions and co-ops are the democratizing force of of labour.
