The video is quite long but I think you'll find it worth your time. It includes a few expert interviews and suggestions on how to personally get involved on a local level :) […]

I went to my first #BikeDemo in #vienna past Saturday. It was lots of fun and the heavy rainfall only made the experience more memorable ;)

The demo was in honour of the fourth #LobauBleibt movement anniversary and organised/attended by a number of NGOs and […]

Lots of cyclists standing on a closed road for a demonstration. Three cyclists are using a triplet bike - one of them is wearing a bright-green Global2000 vest.
The sky is filled with dark rain clouds but is brightly illuminated in the distance.

Aus dem heutigen Standard-Artikel "Wie #wien auf die #hitze reagieren kann":

"Ein Auto, das im Stadtverkehr unterwegs ist, setzt etwa 14 Kilowatt Wärmeleistung frei. Ein durchschnittlicher Baum entzieht der Umgebung etwa 0,9 Kilowatt. Damit braucht es also 16 Bäume, um die Wärmewirkung eines […]

I "celebrated" the launch of GPT-5 by donating to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Support Wikipedia, the *actual* knowledgebase which gives people's brains superabilities. It's far from perfect, but it's the best thing we've got!

Yes, I like it and it seems very well thought out and built. It is quite expensive though so I'd argue it's probably not worth it for most hobbyists (I got it as a present).
FYI: I'm a soldering beginner and can't compare my experience to other irons

My finished #diy #solderfumeextractor.
The fumes are sucked in and pushed out through the flexible tubing which I hang out of my window.
It's powered by USB-C (12V) and can handily be plugged into my @iFixit #fixhub's second USB-C output as I've integrated a […]

My DIY solder fume extractor (brown box with spinning fans and switch set to on) that is powered by the iFixit FixHub through USB-C (visible on the right). The second USB-C port on the FixHub is powering the iFixit soldering iron that's lying on a silicone mat in front of the solder fume extractor. The back of the fume extractor with the flexible tubing attached through velcros. The tubing can be detached and stored away in the fume extractor box (being held in place by more velcros on the other side). This shot also shows the USB-C plug for 12V power input. The airflow vents can be folded in on each other and held in place by more velcros making the whole fume extractor easily storable by decreasing its footprint.

As a Linux newbie I found verifying the ISO image to be the most confusing part. But I must say @linuxmint does provide excellent installation documentation so I never […]

Really, @EUCommission? It's great that you are here on Mastodon, but why not show it proudly instead of linking out only to those Big-Tech-Silos?

@_elena, me and other people at #pubconf25 thought, you should change that please.

Will you?

Der ORF-Publikumsrat soll das Publikum vertreten.
Bei der NR-Wahl kamen ÖVP+SPÖ+Neos auf knapp 57%.
Diese 3 Parteien bestimmten nun 100% der Publikumsräte, für den (mächtigeren) ORF-Stiftungsrat.
Im Stiftungsrat besetzt die Regierung künftig 77% der Mandate. #Entpolitisierung

Currently working on a DIY solder fume extractor for my new @iFixit #fixhub soldering station. As a soldering novice I'm actually quite proud of what I've done so far :)

A DIY solder fume extractor project in progress. The fume extractor is made from a box that has two holes with fans in them. Next to the upper fan is a button titled "LED" and two exposed wires (intended for an LED strip). Next to the lower fan is a flip switch titled "FAN" that is set to off.
In focus in the picture are a male and a female barrel jack connector end with the female one being completely DIYed and held together with hot glue. The barrel jack ends are now connected, the FAN-switch set to on and the fans are spinning 🥳 The inside of the DIY solder fume extractor. It shows two fans (the upper one is already connected to the side of the box), two switches from the back, and a lot of messy wiring (soldered connections are covered by heatshrinks).

Das muss ein Weckruf an die Regierung sein: Klimaschutz darf nicht aufs Abstellgleis geraten - weder bei uns, noch in der EU!

Heute vor 80 Jahren hat das NS-Regime kapituliert. Nach einem Weltkrieg mit 60 Mio Toten und dem Menschheitsverbrechen Shoa.
Warum nach den Erfahrungen des 19. und 20. Jh noch irgendwer glauben kann, Nationalismus, Rassismus und Extremismus wären eine super Idee, wird mir immer unbegreiflich sein.
