I think the worst part of Huang’s keynote wasn’t that none of this mattered, it’s that I don’t think anyone in Huang’s position is really thinking about any of this at all. I hope they’re not, which at least means it’s possible they can be convinced to change course. The alternative is that they do not care, which is a far darker problem for the world.

Wow, a rabid American. I hope that the bitten lady has all her vaccines up to date

Prof Andrew Dessler, at Texas A&M University in the US, said the record set in 2023 was not surprising: “Every year for the rest of your life will be one of the hottest [on] record. This in turn means that 2023 will end up being one of the coldest years of this century. Enjoy it while it lasts.”

I feel sorry for those younger than me. It will suck to grow up with this climate and things are bound to get even worse

used to be a rhythmbox guy but I’ve been using audacious for a few years now

I’m starting to think maybe I’ve just been pushing aside the reality that when the internet was good, it wasn’t as popular
