Not using Kickstarter is perfectly fine. Definitely avoid Kickstarter if you want a guarantee of delivery.

Okay, I guess the heat pumps aren’t suitable due to the economics or maybe cannot reach high enough temperatures.

No. And you shouln’t expect a refund when giving money via kickstarter. This is not platform to buy products/games. People are basically donating money to a project, sometimes with the promise to get a copy if the project succeeds, or nothing if the project fails.

Pornainen’s battery is charged using electricity from the grid

How so, do they use heater resistors or a heat pump?

Electricity may be cheap sometimes but still, heater resistors aren’t the most efficient.

What makes you think this would only affect YouTube?

We need an even larger group of pension funds and investers worldwide to react to this policy rollback by disinvesting from BlackRock.

This should not be a profitable policy change.

The two trade unions supporting Ubisoft employees are STJV and Solidaires Informatique.

How is coal consumption changing in absolute term? What matter most is the absolute amount of fossiel fuel being burned, and the amount of greenhouse gases released.

Developing renewable is great. But the article focus on share and relative figures. So it’s not clear if renewable are increasing faster than coal, and emissions continue to rise. Or if coal use is actually decreasing.

Update: Sadly India keep increasing coal use according to this source. So it’s too early to celebrate.

Imports dropped to 243.6 million tonne (MT) in 2024-25 from 264.5 MT in 2023-24, even as electricity generation from coal-fired power stations rose more than 3%.

It’s good to see diamond mining being replaced by artificial diamond manufacturing, which appears to be better envitonmentally and socially.

But I wouldn’t compare diamonds to gold. Because gold is an element that can’t be manufactured (without a particule accelerator and an insane amount of energy).

Asteroid mining is still science fiction.

Insurers take the first hit, but pass those costs to homeowners

Isn’t it the whole point of insurance? Spread the cost of reconstruction over a large number of people, over some period of time.

If climate change frequently destroy a large part of homes in an area, then living there won’t be viable, with or without insurance.

Atomic distro sounds like an interesting way to avoid breakage due to admin/user mistakes, so it’s a good suggestion. But it doesn’t help much with bugs in new software releases.

So the best choice depends on what exactly caused instability in OP’s case.

Somewhat obvious tips to get a more stable experience:

• Use a distribution that favour stability over being on the bleeding edge. Like Debian stable, or another distribution that maintain LTS releases,
• Install software from the distribution’s official package repositories. Avoid third party packages and repos as much as possible. If you really need a third party repo, verify it’s compatible with your specific distro and has reputation for being well maintained,
• When you do see a problem, take time to troubleshoot and if necessary make a bug report with necessary information for developers to identify the problem, so there’s a better chance to see it fixed.
• If you use Linux in a professional settings, there is paid support available out there, in some cases this get you priority for bug fixes.

Sustainability is not typically part of a bank’s vocabulary.

But there are terms a bank can understand : systemic risk for the economy, the prospect of fossil fuel investments becoming stranded assets, negative effect on public relation and how it can be a competitive disadvantage if a bank do not attract customers who value human life.

Yes, banks should worry about all these risks. Climate change is a large systematic risk so it make sense to worry about it as well.

Meanwhile, megabanks like Wells Fargo are backsliding on their previous climate pledges and exiting from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a United Nations-backed group that encouraged members to slash their emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.

Multiple US banks and entities are backtracking their goals of lowering emissions, wich is the main solution to limit the risks of climate change.

They’re setting themselves up, and us collectively, for higher risks of flood, drought, sea rise, …

They met their goal: a ban on new licenses for oil and gas.

Yay!

Aka “privatize profits and socialize risks”
