The best tool for significantly reducing noise across social media while remaining connected is the News Feed Eradicator. LinkedIn is a particularly important tool for me, as I use this social media network a lot for work, but I can't allow myself to be distracted by it. With this little tool, I can set exactly how many minutes a day I want to spend on the feed without losing the ability to contact others directly via LinkedIn.

That's true. I usually stop when I don't receive any karma, but that wasn't the case here. I've never experienced getting constant karma after multiple posts before.
In fact, the effect you describe is very complex, so there is a whole open source project that allows you to evaluate the actual contrail climate impact for each individual flight: https://github.com/contrailcirrus/pycontrails
No, all text and images are 100% man-made. It's always astonishing how many people don't understand the crucial role of (open source) software and climate change. Just look at the massive greenwashing that has taken place in recent years with manipulated CO2 offsetting figures. If we want to trust numbers about the impact on our environment and their part of our prices, there is no way around making these numbers traceable using open source / open science methods. And LLMs are not traceable.
This is intentional, as the podcast is a collaboration between two communities: OpenSustain.tech with a focus on how to sustain the environment with open source and SustainOSS with a focus on how to sustain open source as a movement.
I use Feedblocker for all social media and have to say it is a real relief. I can still participate when I'm mentioned, but I can now focus on what I think is relevant to me instead of letting big companies decide what might be relevant to me or how best to capture my attention span. This is how I was able to finally finish my PhD.
The examples and tutorials for these libraries were an ideal introduction to me in astronomy, astrodynamics and satellite orbits. As part of my Ph.D., I was able to build a multiple orbit simulation and validation tools for smaller satellite missions thanks to Skyfield.
That's exactly why I'm also very interested in using Grist. Embedding spreadsheets into web pages has never satisfied me and has resulted in unacceptable load times.
LF Energy, the open source foundation focused on harnessing the power of collaborative software and hardware technologies to decarbonize our global economies, and Protontypes, an open community accelerating free and sustainable technology, today released “The Open Source Sustainability Ecosystem”. The report provides qualitative and quantitative insights into the landscape of open source sustainability projects, identifies those having the biggest impact, as well as gaps that stakeholders across the energy industry should look to fill.
A total of 1,339 active projects were analyzed and grouped into fields by their primary areas of focus. Projects were then analyzed based on their popularity, longevity, programming languages, licenses, number of contributors, organizational diversity, and other factors.
Unfortunately, UNEP does not address the unpleasant truth here either. The biggest destroyer of nature is intensive livestock farming, especially for meat production. Today, about 40% of the inhabitable land is used for feeding livestock. Removing subsidies in this area could very quickly bring back biodiversity, fight climate change and increase food security worldwide. Unfortunately, for many, eating meat has become like a fetish and such measures are politically almost impossible to implement. Here some more data about this: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use#half-of-the-world-s-habi...
Red Hat has discontinued support for OpenSource.com and laid off all editors. This article gives hope that community will continue elsewhere in the future.
