Vrabec domácí je nejrozšířenější divoký pták na světě. Je silně vázán na člověka a obývá drtivou většinu oblastí, kde žije i člověk. K hnízdění využívá i vnitřní prostory fabrik, skladišť a ZOO. V Anglii byl zaznamenán 640m pod zemí v uhelném dole. V roce 2019 byla jeho početnost odhadovaná na 1,4 miliardy jedinců.1/6

What #BigOil knew about #ClimateChange, in its own words

by Benjamin Franta, October 28, 2021

"Back in 1979, #Exxon had privately studied options for avoiding #GlobalWarming. It found that with immediate action, if the industry moved away from #FossilFuels and instead focused on #renewable energy, fossil fuel pollution could start to decline in the 1990s and a major #ClimateCrisis could be avoided.

"But the industry didn't pursue that path. Instead, colleagues and I recently found that in the late 1980s, Exxon and other oil companies coordinated a global effort to dispute #ClimateScience, block fossil fuel controls and keep their products flowing.

"We know about it through internal documents and the words of industry insiders, who are now beginning to share what they saw with the public. We also know that in 1989, the fossil fuel industry created something called the Global Climate Coalition—but it wasn't an environmental group like the name suggests; instead, it worked to sow doubt about climate change and lobbied lawmakers to block clean energy legislation and climate treaties throughout the 1990s.

"For example, in 1997, the Global Climate Coalition's chairman, William O'Keefe, who was also an executive vice president for the American Petroleum Institute, wrote in the Washington Post that 'Climate scientists don't say that burning oil, gas and coal is steadily warming the earth,' contradicting what the industry had known for decades. The fossil fuel industry also funded think tanks and biased studies that helped slow progress to a crawl."

"The outside world must walk Israel back from the abyss. It cannot be part of the choir of incitement"

Sorry to give air to the transphobic Irish Times but this article by Daniel Levy and Zaha Hassan eloquently and humanely describes the situation.

Link via @psilocervine on Cohost: Some investigative journalism inside Unity's road to briefly introducing a company-destroying "install fees" policy last month.

The most interesting takeaway here is the whole disaster really was just IronSource, who merged with Unity last year, puppeting the company into destroying IronSource's competitor AppLovin at all costs. An entire art form is a pawn to be sacrificed in a fight between two adtech companies you've never heard of

Our inability to prevent all harm does not free us of our obligation to prevent what harm we can. -- Ari Marmell, @Mouseferatu

I'm currently working on a software synthetiser, aimed at making 8bit sounds. Here is a small demo of what I have so far !

The final goal is to have a library that can play custom songs in realtime and that can be embeded in games. Sequenced music take way less space than recorded music, and makes it easy to add runtime effects, swap tracks and more.

if I had to summarise the last decade of software (web, desktop, and mobile) design using a line from a song, it'd be this one from System of a Down's "Boom!":

„Všechna náboženství, umění a vědy jsou větvemi téhož stromu. Všechny tyto snahy směřují ke zušlechtění lidského života, k jeho pozvednutí ze sféry pouhé fyzické existence a k vedení jedince ke svobodě. Není pouhou náhodou, že se naše starší univerzity vyvinuly z duchovních škol. Jak církve, tak univerzity - pokud odpovídají své skutečné funkci - slouží zušlechťování jednotlivce...“

-- A. Einstein, as mentioned in Out of My Later Years (1950)

We thought Google hit rock bottom with #privacy.

Its new beta feature on Google Files for #Android called “Smart Search" is the trap door.

This creepy new feature on by default & scans every file on your phone. Why is this bad? Because it could potentially ruin your life. (1/3)

Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.

Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.

In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.
