World looking at an average of at least 1.5 C increase in temperature. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/08/world-scientists-climate-failure-survey-global-temperature

That doesn’t necessarily mean a uniform 1.5C increase across the world. It’ll be severely more in the equatorial regions, particularly in South East Asia, where we potentially have already seen an increase of ~3C in April/ May. https://social.vivaldi.net/@cydonian/112335789047432896

Apparently the only time I can go out for a brisk walk is 10PM-7AM. It’s 29 degrees C at all other times.

Essentially the average temperature for April / May till 2020 has now become the minimum, and the mean maximum has become the daily mean.

For now, but that won't always be the case. Just wait until the next VEI 6-7 volcanic event. Then there'll be a decline of 1.5-4.5 degrees or possibly more depending upon the scale it. That will definitely happen along with a decent sized meteorite of about 15-25 meters striking the earth whether in an ocean or on land.

@LanguageMan1 I would like to solve problems that are facing down my throat right now, and not solve the plot of a Bruce Willis starrer, thanks.

The average temperature has increased by more than 3C in these parts, and is likely to increase even more. This will cause disruptions for food and accommodation among other things. This is happening now, not in an imagined story universe.

Any serious #gamer with experience of #minecraft around?

I'm advising someone on a mini project for designing/ optimising a factory layout. For some inexplicable reason the person sent a plan based on a lengthy “simulation” done with a computer game called Minecraft. I don't want to dismiss this as nonsense, because I don't know anything about #gaming and they seem rather enthusiastic about linking gaming to operations management.

My initial questions : 1. Are these (rather rustic looking) screenshots from Minecraft? 2. To what extent can you actively configure input pattern in this game, including realistic elements of a factory such as a floor plan, type of machinery, number of staff? 3. How do advanced (sandbox) gamers usually control (or would like to control[!]) their simulations to get a favourable “yield”?

I'm not a Minecraft expert but it's my understanding that you can build fairly complex machinery including analog computers.

On Emory's campus this morning, Atlanta police were seen continuing to tase an already handcuffed student. He'd been thrown to the ground and handcuffed with no resistance yet the cops are out here torturing him in plain sight.

Clearly demonstrating why cop city must never be built.

The shift away from seeing Consent as a magic privacy bullet requires broader transformations, including how dehumanising we relate to each other in the mart of competitive commerce.

"Consent to use data" is often a total fiction! Can you completely read and deliberately agree to hundreds of privacy consent notices a month? Of course not! Yet, GDPR and much American privacy law assume that's true. I say it, and now a noted law professor says it: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4333743

Policy makers need to stop pretending that consent is a magic bullet for ensuring privacy. Instead, companies need to do right by their users BY DEFAULT, not based on boxes they check.

Blocking v. Ignoring?

  2. How is this handled elsewhere in the Fediverse?

So looking at the FAQ, I'm experiencing some irregularities.

[Ignored] you will still see this person's comments to posts made by your friends.

👆 That's exactly what I was hoping for. But it turns out the person (on a Mastodon server) I placed on ignore doesn't show up in my contact's conversations. I see someone replying to the "Ignored" person's reply, as a "unknown parent" post. Double checking on the Mastodon server I can see the "Ignored" person's reply, but I am now actively prevented from even importing their post.

So is this now by design or just another bug?

Not entirely sure. You could file an issue with as much info as possible. Include screenshots and post URLs of the original posts so the situation can be assessed and, if friendica is misbehaving, hopefully fixed.

Greedflation is a myth. In a fiat currency system the amount of dollars in circulation is inversely proportional to the purchasing power of each individual dollar. Even though the percentage of inflation is down that only measures how fast dollars are being added to circulation, not how much dollars total are in circulation. Money is subject to the law of supply and demand just like everything else, so the real reason things are more expensive now is that the dollar simply is worth less than it was in the past.
