It's late 2025 and @signalapp Desktop is still a 650MB Electron app.

Yes, you read that right, *six hundred and fifty megabytes* for a simple messaging app.
@TauriApps has existed for several years, and could (relatively trivially) be used to create the same app at 5-10% of the size.

It can be disappointing to go to a protest then look at the news coverage after. The coverage often fails to capture the joy, anger and enthusiasm of those who show up. It often fails to capture the size of the events and will focus on any "violence" that manages to happen, a broken window, or […]

And here follows a quick list of how France is buggering up #CrossBorderRail (these are just the ones that spring to mind)

Nao vamos parar até à barbárie dos fogos deixe de ser normal e a aliança entre governantes, celuloses e fósseis continue a levar-nos para o fundo do poço! Em Portugal e fora dele, vamos mobilizar-nos! Por um país com futuro, uma floresta do futuro e por um futuro! […]

REDE CIDADÃ CONTRA INCÊNDIOS ANUNCIA PROTESTOS NO FINAL DO VERÃO CONTRA CELULOSES E INDÚSTRIA FÓSSIL Perante o que já é mais um ano de devastadores incêndios florestais, a rede cidadã que em Setembro passado organizou o protesto pela Floresta do Futuro vai começar um processo de mobilização, contactando organizações nacionais e na Galiza. Para lutar pela vida das pessoas que vivem nas áreas rurais, mas não só, é necessário uma crescente mobilização popular que trave os planos catastróficas que resultam da combinação dos interesses da indústria dos fósseis e das celuloses, apoiados pelos governos ibéricos durante as últimas décadas. Na última semana ardeu uma área superior à área metropolitana de Lisboa. Dezenas de milhares de hectares são agora cinza, ultrapassando a área ardida de 2015. Centenas de estradas foram cortadas, várias centenas de pessoas obrigadas a fugir das suas casas. Os incêndios voltam a assolar Portugal. Graças ao trabalho da Proteção Civil e dos bombeiros não houve até ao momento vítimas mortais pelo fogo, mas é uma questão de tempo até as chamas voltarem a ceifar vidas. O fumo que todos respiramos estes dias acelera a nossa morte, tira anos de vida a milhares de pessoas. Nada disto é novidade. Todos os anos a situação agrava-se.

Murdering tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children: no problem.

The UK political establishment has some seriously warped morals.

Every so often you see a letter in a local paper that just pisses you off so much - "temperature are always changing" and "we have no idea about temperature" - that you feel forced to respond. And in this case, I was not alone. From the Islington Tribune […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
"It is sad to read Patrick Burke’s letter in which he takes the fatalistic view that “the climate always fluctuates”. He believes that past changes are utterly mysterious and that temperature records go back “only a few hundred years”. Nothing is further from the truth. We have excellent records of both temperature and atmospheric composition from ice cores that go back 800,000 years. The role of the atmosphere in determining planetary temperature has been known since 1827, that of carbon dioxide since the late 1850s; our understanding has improved enormously in the time since. The last few thousand years are the period in which human civilisations flourished, when natural variation in climate was extremely small - about half a degree (see attached picture). By contrast, since the end of the 19th century, temperatures have risen by about 1.5 ˚C and continue to head upwards. The glaciers Mr Burke shrugs about are the source of stable year-round drinking and irrigation water for billions of people in Europe, South and East Asia. Aside from the disruption to food supplies if rivers start running dry for part of the year (the recent behaviour of the Po, the Rhone and the Rhine in Europe being cases in point), melting ice adds to sea level rise to which London is not immune. None of us like the idea of climate change, but whether we like it or not, the climate of our youth is gone forever. It is a wise man that plans for the future. Mr Burke’s complacency is all too common.

Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves

There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable
