The end of oil? As fuel shocks cascade, 53 nations gather to plan a fossil fuel phaseout


...

"The routine burning of coal, oil and gas is the primary driver of the climate crisis. The world’s highest court last year made clear nations have obligations to stop burning fossil fuels.

"But fossil fuels have barely been mentioned in 30 years of global climate negotiations, due in part to blocking efforts by big fossil fuel exporters and lobbyists.

"Frustrated by slow progress, a coalition of nations has bypassed global climate talks to discuss how to actually phase out fossil fuels.

"The first of these summits will take place next week. More than 50 nations will gather in Santa Marta, Colombia, to discuss a potential standalone treaty to manage fossil-fuel phaseout while protecting workers and financial systems.

"Colombian Environment Minister Irene Vélez Torres says it comes at the “best possible moment”, as the oil crisis focuses global attention on fossil fuel dependency...

YES!

That said, it is the Oil Industry which has literally corrupted our political system so as to further enable the uncontrolled and accelerating use of their products.

@tomgrzybow And caused irreversible global climate change that IMO has the likelihood of killing billions of us via starvation and war. Apparently, something many of our wealthy masters are depending on to further solidify their power over the world's people.

> It shows that numbers and operators, values and functions are not necessary for performing computation. How weird! It points to “computing with space” and thinking with images or sounds. Like two people drawing lines on the sand with a stick, placing rocks and moving them, as they discuss and develop a strategy.

I think doni demento already tried a version of that when he shut down the Gov't in his first term, and again in his second term. Didn't work.


Possibly stumbled onto the high-level language of my dreams.

The JiDokKo birds are interesting.. probably mostly of Shamo軍鶏 descent but not very aggressive so far... We might be eating the beautiful red rooster thud weekend... I've gotten thus urge to focus on Silkies for thrur popular gift eggs and incubating abilities and the huge JiDori birds (probably Amakusa DaiOu 天草大王) for frequent big eggs and occasional turkey-like feasts... the variety is fascinating and I guess it's more sustainable to keep some hybrid vigor around...

Happy World Curlew Day! I adore these birds!

World Curlew Day is intended to raise awareness of the urgent plight of curlews, which are facing severe population declines globally due to habitat loss, climate change, and predation by non-native species like pets.

I took this photo in Lamington National Park in the Gold Coast Hinterland, Queensland. #birds

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

I love them so much. They’re such weird little alien guys and it’s added bonus that a bunch of ghost stories in South East Queensland can be attributed to the banshee shriek they make at night. Seriously underrated bird ❤️

moved from North Yorkshire so sadly no longer hear the cries of the surlew or the lapwing further South

RE: pdx.social/@dadbod/11643779950…

I'm very happy with my Kobo Libra 2. A big surprise when I got it was that I stopped having insomnia. I used to read books at night on my iPhone (dark mode, low illumination, color adjusted to deduce blue light) and thought it wouldn't affect my sleep. I'd often be awake for a couple of hours during the night, but didn't think it was connected. The day I got my Kobo, the insomnia stopped. E-ink screens rock.

Very few of my books are from the Kobo store. Mostly they're sideloaded using Calibre.

Well, DARN! @fraterchaos, thank you for keeping this up, so that we also get the message that it's not real. However, the story sounds plausible because it reflects cultural subtexts that are very real. So, we were all fooled.


As many raise questions about #EuroOffice and the #AGPL license ( @nextcloud #Ionos...) my current recommendation is to read:

* @fsf 's "You cannot use the #GNU (A)GPL to take #softwarefreedom away fsf.org/blogs/licensing/agpl-i…

* and @bkuhn 's "#AGPL v3§7¶4 Empowers Users to Thwart #Badgeware" sfconservancy.org/blog/2026/ap…

thanks for sharing!

We have also published a statement about license compliance in #EuroOffice in our blog: nextcloud.com/blog/euro-office…
