If only the media would take some responsibility to explain these things, rather than just copy PR blurbs and quotes.

While I'm all in on complaining about #babler changing his position on the #LobauTunnel, let's not forget that the greens once approved the #StadtStrasse, directly setting this trajectory in motion.

Es ist eine Schande, dass ÖVP, SPÖ und NEOS die lebenswerte Zukunft junger Menschen für „unglaubliche Aufträge in die Bauindustrie, in die Planung, in die Services“ opfern wollen.

4 Jahre nach der Gründung von #LobauBleibt ist der Protest nötiger denn je!

Ulli Sima und Barbara Novak von der @spoewien.bsky.social haben heute die Tariferhöhungen ziemlich versemmelt!

Anstatt klimaschädliche Subventionen wie das Parkpickerl signifikant zu erhöhen, wird die Öffijahreskarte um 100€ teurer. 10qm öffentlicher Raum sind doch viel mehr wert als 13€ im Monat!

Vor genau 10 Jahren wurde die Mariahilfer Straße verkehrsberuhigt.

Trotz aller Unkenrufe damals von allen möglichen Seiten, haben die @gruenewien.bsky.social unermüdlich an der Umsetzung gearbeitet. Heute kaum mehr vorstellbar, dass dort bis zu 12.000 Autos pro Tag gefahren sind.

Many years after starting to use this, I finally wrote down how I run my #riverwm #desktop using #systemd

Mostly as a reference to myself whenever I need to make changes to it. And to fill a documentation gap on systemd unit dependencies for myself.

I sometimes get asked why my terminal has reminders of tools installed on my system, so I wrote a short blog post about why and how I did this.

jesus the latest ECB scenarios from the Network for Greening the Financial System go hard. (they are considering a disaster scenario with more GDP impact than the peak-to-trough in 2008-9, and a "diverging realities" scenario with climate risk twice the Eurocrisis)

Deliberately building addiction into an app is unethical. Addiction is the opposite of user-agency.

"Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you."

What #sleeping in an #ÖBB mini-cabin on a #NightJet #train looks like on my #AraNet4

Screenshot of the CO2 graph on an AraNet4. Indicating about 500 at 22:15, before I got on the train. Then jumping to almost 1800 to settle at about 1400 for most of the night. Peak of 2500 at 5am and another of 2000 at just before 7am. Dropping back to 460 when leaving the train at 07:15. Followed by a small bump of about 700 while I drove home in the car for a short bit.
