Want food security? Eat less meat, major report says.
Europe’s top farming university is calling for smaller livestock herds and a shift toward plant-based diets.Alessandro Ford (POLITICO)
A team of scientists from the University of Bristol recently released research that pushed the date of our Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) back to about 4.2 billion years ago.
This suggests that the life that is in each of us, and in each of the organisms that make up our very large extended family, runs in an unbroken chain backward for 4.2 billion years.
That’s a pretty considerable investment by the universe in every living thing.
Perhaps we should reflect on that a little more as we continue to muck around on this planet.
It might be time to start fitting in.

I am anxious and often depressed but try to cover it with good vibes, thot pics and bad dancing.
I consume waaay too much #PopCulture particularly #ScienceFiction #fantasy #books, #movies and #tv. Also do a fair bit of #gaming on #PS5 #Xbox and #Switch.

things dev can do now
- optimise code
- choose faster languages and runtimes, like rust [or quarkus! 😁 ]
- efficient algorithms
- faster implementations
- reduce retries and work amplification
- reduce logging
things ops can do now
- higher utilisation
- automation
- relax over-specified requirements
- archive data
- deduplicate data
- choose time and location for workloads carefully

Researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed an oxygen-ion battery with a storage capacity that doesn't decrease over time, leading to an extremely long lifespan compared to other batteries.
This battery can be produced without rare metals and could be used for in large energy storage systems, e.g., to store electrical energy from renewable sources.

Researchers develop an oxygen-ion battery
Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous today, but that does not mean that they are the best solution for all areas of application. TU Wien has now succeeded in developing an oxygen-ion battery that has some important advantages.Science X (Tech Xplore)

I do care for the environment. Pointless data information that travels through the internet is not free, it has a carbon weight.
Every kilobyte saved correspond to an amount of CO2.
What do people achieve with that compulsion to add featured images that aren't theirs?
