wether@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Breaking Free From Social Media Silos With The FediverseEnglish5·1 month agoThe Fediverse is great, but perhaps just because of the lack of algorithms and other content-promotion methods I have found it a bit harder to break out of my ‘silos’ in some places. Lemmy isn’t too bad for this, but I’ve really struggled to find other people to follow and engage with on Mastodon as somebody on a small local instance. Little things like the Mastodon phone app not listing followers from other instances contributes to this.
I just received a tourist e-visa sent to my Protonmail account no problem, so clearly this block does not really work haha
I’m not familiar with India’s legal system, but would this only affect Karnataka for now…?
wether@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•A recent study has found that the richest 10 percent of the world population are responsible for two-thirds of observable climate warming71·2 months agoPretty much no serious authority on climate predicts that global warming will lead to human extinction. The collapse of what we know as civilisation, perhaps, and even some kind of mass death event, but our species outright ending? Zero chance. Not to say that those who endure as a relict population upon an overheated, polluted, and scarred Earth will be having a great time or anything
wether@slrpnk.netto Academia@mander.xyz•Australian academics refuse to attend US conferences for fear of being detained2·3 months agoI’m a graduate student in Canada and my whole university is advising against accepting positions in the US or traveling there. Seems like this is going to be the new normal
I get the impression that there’s huge appetite in India for solar and other renewables, but as with many things, a lot of issues with implementation. A few weeks ago I was traveling in some fairly remote regions of the Northwest and even these tiny little villages in the back-country had a few solar panels scattered around— but it was only one or two. I wonder whether trust issues like a lack of on-the-ground familiarity with how to independently install and repair solar is a contributing factor, since there’s definitely no shortage of enthusiasm on the government/NGO level.
