On page 27, there's an article which will be of interest to the folks over here on slrpnk.net : "Go get a Garden Server". This article builds upon @hannahilea's An ode to houseplant programming 🪴
Indeed. The CO2 isn't digested by humans, so it fizzes right back out of the drink or gurgles out from the drinker.
Then again, the headline is somewhat misleading as the product the article covers isn't for carbon sequestration. Instead, it's to provide consumers of CO2 like breweries with a reliable and supposedly low carbon alternative for their CO2 gas needs. Normally this CO2 would be a waste product from refineries, but these incur more inefficiencies due to transportation. Also, recently the refineries have been opting to sequester their CO2 instead of selling it (which is a good thing IMO).
I'm reporting all of this from the contents of the article; I haven't verified any of the claims.
I was about to make the same mistake, mentioning I'm in a rutt, but checked the Webster at the last minute. Rut is spelled with a single t.
I'm only mentioning it because it's fortuitous that we both reached for the same expression and both thought it was spelled with two t's.
My esteem is at an all time low. I'd set a goal to finish writing my thesis by the end of 2025. Here we are, two months later and I'm still struggling. On top of that my grant ended 3 months ago and I'm running low on savings (currently looking around for part time jobs). Nevertheless, I'm determined and certain I'm capable of finishing.
I believe this is what might help me most. In order to fill out the list of things to do, I've got to practice asking myself the right questions (or perhaps my outline isn't specific enough 😅 ). Cheers :)
I looked into what well-known authors do and I believe it was Stephen King who said something similar. There's also someone that recommended you append a couple line summary of what you wrote at the end of each day. The next day, you can simply read that to get going again.

The text seems vague in an AI-generated sort of way. Perhaps I'm being too paranoid; they have credited a bunch of authors, after all.
He may just talk like that, but I think Doctorow is going through, as comprehensively as his allotted time slot will allow, the talking points he and the host have prepared beforehand. Keeping this in mind and taking into account the audience likely doesn't know what a "protocol" is, I think it's fine that he doesn't mention ActivityPub. Perhaps he mentions it in his book. I'll check it out if it lands in my local library's bookshelves.
Before we can (and want to) get tech workers to unionize, there needs to be a shift in culture in the tech industry. Right-wing libertarian ideals are very prevalent in tech, especially in Silicon Valley. This has been the case for years and has already greatly influenced tech legislation in the United States and the world. Class solidarity is almost non-existent at a lot of big tech firms.
That being said, there are of course many tech workers who understand the importance of the class struggle and who are ready to organize. I'll add some links to the tech workers coalition and to a podcast which unveils a lot of the hidden politics of the tech industry, tech won't save us.
On another note, interoperability naturally arises from well designed and largely adopted open standards.
Love this week's introduction, @grrgyle@slrpnk.net!
Following many moons of inactivity, I've returned. I'm finishing the second of the three parts of my thesis. Looking forward to submission.
Additionally, looking forward to reading this month's club's posts :)
The research article cited by Ajit Niranjan is worth consulting directly, because a concept brought up by Berland and Leroutier, the researchers, that hasn't been worked into the Guardian article is intersectionality.
Indeed climate change is a systemic issue which requires systemic solutions therefore focusing on what we as individuals can do is shortsighted. However, it's also important not to discount the part individuals play, collectively, in the systems that power the climate crisis. I believe observing the disparity whereby men consume more due to their consumption habits is fascinating! Why do men consume in ways that are more damaging to the environment? Perhaps the corporations producing the vast majority of carbon emissions are actually capitalizing off of the gender dynamics in our society by marketing meat and cars as manly. In doing so, they increase profits, and we all suffer the environmental and social consequences.
To paint an accurate picture of the mechanisms leading to humanities carbon emissions, it's important not to discount the role of power structures that are seemingly unrelated at first glance. More often than not, those power structures are used by the instigators of the climate crisis.

@hannahilea's An ode to houseplant programming 🪴On a mostly unrelated note, do these two phrases mean the same thing?
I had used the second form in my first draft. I changed it as I'm not sure it's grammatically correct.

In a sense, a handle is like a core part of a hacker's personal brand.

Here's to 20 writing club update 🍻 and here's to 20 more ! 🍻
As I've mentioned a few days ago, I'm in a rut. I'm brute forcing my way out of it, for now. I'll keep y'all posted if anything changes.
I found this brief, helpful list: https://peterlyledehaan.com/writing-tips/writing-tips-to-quickly-pick-up-where-you-left-off/
Very relatable, I drop in and out, when I need to.

Ed is the standard text editor.
It'd be great to have a user setting deactivating it permanently. It keeps turning back on for me ...
Hey grrgyle, I love "soy on the bean"!
