Tech certificates are peak capitalism. Corporations like Amazon and Salesforce charge you thousands of euros so that you can take a test to prove them you know what they are selling.
It's like paying your local grocery shop for a test that asks you where the carrots are.
The first #MasterChef or #TopChef plant-based season could turn out to be a major turning point for sustainable agriculture. Imagine instead of getting yet another lesson on how to cook steak, millions of people would see hundreds of different delicious vegan dishes.
@ianbetteridge It's been sad to see DHH go down so many alt-right rabbit holes lately. The sources he has used in his blog posts have been really awful (not only the likes of Jordan Peterson, but also climate change deniers).
To me it looks like after he stopped interacting on the hell site – a good decision in itself – he replaced the time there with the worst kind of "do your own research".
Nature Sustainability published 2 consistent papers recently on carbon emissions.
They show the wealthiest 10% are responsible for about 47% of emissions, where the poorest 50% of only 11%, and the top 1% of 16%.
To blame "humanity" is a gross injustice.
@kev Thank you and the team for all the hard work!
p.s. Love how the tl;dr is longer than the rest of the article. This is some serious next generation blogging! tltl;dr;dr
Not enough international attention has been given to the current fight for a new law to protect the indigenous Sámi people in #Finland.
The colonial arguments by the Centre Party hoping to maintain oppression and continued human rights violations have been sickening – not to mention all of the racist attacks against individuals Sámi.
The law needs to finally pass after decades of delays.

There are estimated 60,000 political prisoners in Egypt.
Alaa Abd El-Fattah is one of them, dying on a hunger srike.
The political elite gathered for #COP27 needs to demand the Egyptian government stops the blatant human rights violations.
Naomi Klein writes in-depth about the problem's with Egypt and COP27 here.
The climate movement must stand in #solidarity with related counter-hegemonic struggles.
@graue I'd start by asking how much of the leaf blowing should be done in the first place – not how to make wasting energy and human effort less loud.
Is it just me or is it hard for anyone else to relate to the problem that it makes too much noise to move leaves around on my backyard tennis court?
This is what's wrong with Silicon Valley.
