  • Panoramax rocks! The devs are super friendly too. It's the only truly FOSS alternative to google street view (and it's federated!).

    Mapillary is owned by Facebook and closed source while Mapilio is also closed source.

  • The road surfaces actually help a ton for apps that come up with bicycle routes as well as those on wheelchairs. However of you'd prefer less of them, you can make jt a lower priority in the settings.

  • Nice one, OP!

  • Have you ever caught a marketing or spam email sent using one of your email aliases?

    Jump

  • Yep! Only about twice in several years though. Sometimes it's the same company that started up or bough another company and gave your email without telling you.

  • Because that's how it works, right?

  • The Power of 💩

    Jump

  • That was the case for most of the time heat pumps existed which is why the claim that you can't use heat pumps in very cold climates is still common.

    However, the technology has improved significantly and there are now modern cold climate heat pumps which have eliminated the need for natural gas furnaces. Over 2/3 of households in Norway use heat pumps today.

  • I'm all for using methane as a biproduct of sewage or composting, however "natural gas" used to heat homes, generate electricity, or power cars is a misnomer. Natural gas from oil companies for these purposes are just them selling us the methane biproduct of fracking. Solar > natural gas power plants and heat pumps > natural gas heaters.

    Unfortunately, most methane used today is contributing to global warming and increasing the profitability of fracking and oil.

    It's akin to how dairy companies get whey as a biproduct when they skim milk and instead of throwing it out, they started selling it for protein powder and as a food additive to increase profits.

  • There's more people complaining about those protesting the climate than doing literally anything about it. Be the change you want to see and don't poo poo others who go about the same goal in a different way.

    Say it with me: we need a diversity of tactics.

  • Our prisons are designed for revenge and punishment not just to those going to prison, but to have a terrifying affect on others.

    So ironically, the use of 5 years prison time is the real terrorism, in the literal sense of trying to make people terrified of protesting and of putting someone in a cage for 5 years.

  • I certainly agree that we've gotten much better at safely producing and storing. However, with climate change worsening, we continue to have unprecedented natural disasters in unexpected areas which concerns me the most.

  • Can we air condition our way out of extreme heat? part 1: a primer on air conditioning

    Jump

  • This was a great, succinct article. Here are a few key points that I noticed:

    The important result here is that the efficiency of your air conditioner decreases as ∆T increases — e.g., as the outside temperature goes up.

    the work required to keep your house at a fixed temperature Tc increases with the square of the temperature difference between inside and outside temperature, ΔT².

    Let’s use the same numbers from the previous example: you want to keep your house at 75F. If climate change has increased the outside temperature from 96F to 100F, the energy your air conditioner consumes increases by (100-75)2/(96-75)2 = 252/212 — this is an increase in energy consumption of 42%!

    Averaged over an entire day, the increase will be less than this because ∆T is smaller for much of the day (e.g., at night) But the result is robust: climate change is driving exponentially increasing energy demand for cooling.

    People with financial means, who work in air-conditioned offices and live in climate-controlled homes, can handle rising temperatures by simply paying for more electricity.

    However, a significant portion of the global population lives the hot life. These people live in homes without air conditioning, work outdoors or in warehouses or kitchens with no climate control.

  • In my opinion, there are greater influences than voter turnout on climate policy. The corporate lobbying, aggressive PR, and disinformation has influenced the state more than any vote. There have historically been no candidates to even vote for that cared about global warming.

    And the oil and gas corporations themselves have influenced voters in the same way. Embedding oil into masculinity, lack of global warming discussion in the monopolized media outlets, etc.... Attempts to keep information and awareness from the average voter and make us doubt global warming and even defend oil companies.

    IMO, the American state's impulse to protect capital and monopoly is the primary reason the climate response has been so poor.
