I might have to set up an insta account and automate some AI to scrape things I’m interested in, just so I don’t have to interact with that shit myself.

It should be easier than ever now, with AI to host your own website with an rss feed like the old days. But no, let’s advertise all our events on Zuck’s evil empire and fuck ourselves over.

Defence is a further good reason to deploy #windmills. Especially good at catching cold winds from the Eastern front. #resist

Energy experts want to build thousand wind turbines on the Finnish eastern border as part of the #DroneWall

They would provide a platform for airspace monitoring from the height of 200 meters.

I’m the least socially outgoing person there is, but they think the opposite when I’m in meetings at work in Finland 🙃 #thesilenceisdeafening

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?

Sometimes I get a massive flood of memories all of a sudden. Like someone opened a stopcock to a part of my brain. I really should carry a notebook and write them down.

We have a new CTO. He worked for the company many years ago, and says he feels like he’s coming back home. He comes with a programming background too - I like this guy already. I’m so lucky to work with so many smart educated people, when I have no formal education myself.

I’m hoping Apple get their act together with the #meta glasses alternative. I’m actually quite positive that I’ll be able to code without sitting at a desk with a keyboard within the next 2 years. This will take WFH to an entire new level. #AI

Having got lost in a remote Finnish bog with my bicycle I would concur with this

Vanadis Saves @vanadissaves.bsky.social · 7d

Bogs are rad.

Aarne Granlund @aarnegranlund.bsky.social · 7d

"Now not only scientists, but also politicians, are beginning to see the possibility of dual use of bogs to achieve two goals of the European Union – improving resilience and slowing climate change."

We have an unlimited potential for bog restoration on the Eastern Flank.
