BREAKING: Norway Supreme Court rules North Sea oil & gas approvals invalid in historic climate case.

“This historic ruling changes Norwegian oil policy forever, and sets a precedent the world cannot ignore. Norway can no longer ignore the global damage caused when its oil & gas are burned abroad. This is a momentous victory for global climate justice.”

Hello and a good meowing everyone! Have a most wonderful day and stay safe 😸♥️

I painted this cover art for A Golden Wake: Roaring '20s Edition, announced recently by @GrundislavGames. I have vivid memories of talking to Francisco when he was developing the original, it was fun to revisit this setting and give it some bright colours. :)

Generative AI is great y'all, Steam can't handle slop submissions, Humble slop-deleted 2FA and account settings, Microsoft is down, everything is getting hacked, open source is being strangled, search is destroyed, and the remains of the world economy are dependent on one penis. Leaps and bounds.

I mean, have we ruled out incompetent hacking?

@szkodnix nie no FB rozumiemy - ale nie rozumiem tych durnych profili tam siedzących i nagle wyrażających wielkie zdziwienie.

@verge let’s not……..

Fixed a handful of little glitches (occasional spurious vectors, enemies on the spherical map having an 'international date line' like Mutants in Defender (which could actually be useful to the player, as it is in Defender, but which is actually just a bit sloppy)), and faulty collisions around the international date line (which no longer occur as it has gone away). Also things could collide repeatedly in a shower of vector sparks, which looked cool but shouldn't have been happening.

Our indoor mapping of @smk by way of #openstreetmap has now reached the ground floor! 😀

To every sysadmin who didn’t sleep last night: you’re the real heroes. 🦸

Yesterday’s Microsoft outage meant a long night for many on-call engineers.

It’s why Nextcloud is distributed by design: each organisation runs its own instance, and we don’t store your data.

Servers still fail, but your own team is in charge, and your data stays under your control.

So today: buy your IT team a coffee. They might need it. ☕

After writing thirty-something posts about the Astor House in Shanghai it dawned on me that I will have to start mapping out the various locations.

Here's the latest story: https://sturm.to/?post=520

And each post now has a map at the bottom with pins showing all their locations.

Microsoft, one of the worlds most profitable companies, after laying off 23% of their staff in the past two years and offering 27% of their remaining staff packages to leave and then naming a product Microsoft Vibing, adding product features called Vibe, declaring Copilot writes a majority of code and going all in on vibe coding:

while they E2EE your email contents, they do not encrypt headers and a lot of other metadata.

No email provider encrypts headers nor metadata but Tuta. And even Tuta does not encrypt mail addresses nor date of message sent or received - as these are necessary to deliver a mail at all.

To avoid metadata use e.g. Signal instead of e-mail.

Telling their employees to use more AI.

Telling their employees not using AI is loser thinking.

They’ve become very political, siding with the far right, actively ignoring community concerns (see the recent petition deletions) and still, while they E2EE your email contents, they do not encrypt headers and a lot of other metadata. It’s been long a concern among the funny hat communities that they are a possible honeypot as well.

“As an alternative to Gmail” is the start of the whole thing, it’s assumed they’re moving away from Gmail
