I'm not sure about the utility/non-utility mix, but according to IRENA it was actually ~500GW of added capacity in 2023 and 2024. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/installed-solar-pv-capaci...

I love this. Maybe these are incompatible desires, but I would really like some kind of system that allows me to own and present my own music listening data while also allowing me to interoperate with a broader music listening culture. News

Yeah, mostly anonymous commenting tyranny-of-the-nitpickers is really unfulfilling. I miss phpBB as the dominant mode of internet socialization. Communities with norms, in-jokes, reputation. Take me back!

If I were to spend $10,000 on cleaning, I think I'd prefer to have 100 weeks of a human cleaner that can vacuum, scrub, climb stairs, etc. But, I take the point that more and more of these tasks will be automated more effectively in th

I hadn't seen these before, but they're working because of the limitations of the technology. The format of the shows are mostly clip-based - man on the street, news hour, etc - and obviously the jokes are all written by someone

what's unclear to me is how you identify the Real Units. needing-to-breathe-ness is (probably) a gimme, but what are the units that will explain which route i take on my walk today? and how do you avoid defining units that aren't

Also to pay taxes, you have to type "CRA" into your bank's "Add Payee" searchbox and hope you pick the right result out of 5 different options that all have CRA in the title. It's mind-boggling that this is the

I have no strong feelings on motorbikes one way or the other, but also try to avoid downvoting posts when I disagree with them. It's a harder urge to suppress when I feel strongly about the subject though, and so it's possible tha

Jesus christ, this is such a polished article. Writing it must have taken at least 5 times as long as the shader! Have reblogged it and will refer back to it if ever I have some time to learn how to write them :)

It's more like an analysis of what items people order from McDonald's, using McDonald's own data which is otherwise very difficult to collect. Your loss!

Does anyone know of a corollary to web3isgoinggreat.com that compiles all these instances of enshittification? It would be fascinating to read through a crowdsourced list of ways in which SaaS companies have altered the deal.

It is literally for the best if you don't find out, to not legitimize this ridiculous argument they're making that JavaScript hasn't genericized. But because you'll be too curious to resist now, from what I can tell it&#

I think this is the direction ActivityPub is headed. You can already add .rss to the end of someone's Mastodon account to get their posts as a feed (e.g. https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic.rss ) and ghost.org is working on t

okay, but I really wasn't trying to imply that the good-bad moral line of WW2 should be rotated. It's about adding nuance: the effects of european colonialism in the pacific are massive, intertwined throughout society in ways that

I drew a few frames in this, but it was a real shame to see how little quality control there was in the final cut. Makes it kind of unwatchable. Progress near the end was really fast, as lots of people had caught on and were racing to get a

Hey thanks, you make a good point - I was too hasty in proclaiming the connection between christian designs and the practices of the tribespeople (especially because if this article makes one thing clear, it's that the events and pract

I appreciated this article. The irony of "cargo cult" being the misunderstood phrase that people here like to use is not lost on me. It's good to interrogate the wallpaper of colonialism, to discover what's hiding behind

Do I have this right? Organic Maps had a private (but MIT-licensed) Cloudflare Worker in a repo called meta. Alexander Borsuk (an Organic Maps maintainer, and co-founder of maps.me) surreptitiously removed the license and added logging to t

enshittification isn't "things become worse" - it's the specific process of how services worsen in 3 stages: > Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things
