Well they didn't really do much math, but the stats are interesting.

This source says the energy added to the atmosphere by global warming is 4E23 jeules.

This source say data centers in 2025 consumed 415 TWh (1.5E18 jeules).

Yeah its not much but of course this doesn't include the impact of the carbon released by powering the data centers, especially when they are using horrible power sources, just the heat from running the servers.

Has anyone used it or gotten good with it? I have found very little online.

The QMK approach is a little more mature from what I can tell. The acceleration keys seem nice.

what is it

Mouse emulation is when you can move the mouse using keyboard keys.

Popular keyboard firmware allows it:

• [ZMK] (https://v0-3-branch.zmk.dev/docs/keymaps/behaviors/mouse-emulation)
• QMK

Even if the thumbnail is broken the video should work

While not the IKEA shark, I imagine his platform would be endorsed by the shark, with LGBTQIA+ protections, and opposing the Israel's genocide.

EDIT: They want users to help generate a dataset. You just play a game and email them the data when you are done.

I just did it, it was easy.

First I wanted to give a shout out for the amazing work by the jmp.chat and cheogram teams for offering a great alternative to Google voice.

Now the issue; sometimes when I open cheogram it seems to forget my contacts. So all of my existing chats just show the phone numbers. The group chats still have their names.

Then the names come back later, but the problem is pretty common and renders SMS nearly impossible.

Anyone else have this problem?

I am really impressed by how well organized they are and how much they have been able to accomplish so little funding. The Global March to Gaza, then the Sumud Floatila have been some great ideas for significant peaceful action.

During the last flotilla and just afterward we saw:

• A general strike in Italy.
• Spanish and Italian war ships deployed.
• Spain's complete arms embargo is enshrined into law
• Many nations recognized Palestine for the first time and reaffirmed their recognition.
• Even the US, the most significant sponsor of the genocide, proposed the best peace plan of this administration and took a small but material step in opposition to Israel.

I'm hopeful the momentum continues and I think these people have demonstrated their trustworthiness as much as any group.

Really great maps and info on how the aid stations are distributed and operate.

You hear that basically no aid is getting distributed, but the details of the aid stations being hours away and only open 20 minutes a day if at all really clarifies how performative and meaningless the "aid" is.

...Other than salt and pepper

For me it's cumin. It's one of the few spices I buy in bulk and actually use up my supply.

In the winter it may lean towards cardamom thanks to copious amounts of chia.

Maybe it's not surprising, but moving my saved places from Organic Maps to CoMaps took maybe two button clicks.

Export, select CoMaps, done.

Now to move my donation :)

This proposed rule change is open for comment until May 19.

My comment was:

I urge the rejection of this proposed rule.

I think we can be very thankful for the definition of harm as currently defined. If we were talking about the human species there would be no doubt that significant degradation of our ability to feed, shelter, and produce offspring would indeed be considered harm.

From only an economic perspective this proposed rule change is extremely counter productive. We learn an enormous amount from animals and that knowledge creates enormous economic value.

An example is the horseshoe crab. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science estimates the value of horseshoe crabs to the medical research industry at $100M per year. In 2023, the US Fish and Wildlife Service began work to aid their reproduction and support this industry. If harm is no longer defined as a significant decline in ability to reproduce, will we be able to protect this industry?

As our technology advances we are always learning more from animals, so we don't know which animals will give us our next billion dollar industry. After we decimate a species, we may not get to choose if it goes extinct, and with each extinct species we inflict immense harm on current and future generations of humans.
