I like some concepts and design of Mbin, something to learn from, but I’d believe more in its growth potential if not written mainly in php.

Interesting observation and analysis, and illustrates the potential of more lemmy-mastodon interaction.
Indeed mdon like-federation seems weird but I presume it was setup this way for efficiency, to reduce the number of small communications? Although Lemmy has a backend in rust - more efficient than mdon’s ruby - still I wonder whether the lemmy system of federating all upvotes would scale well if the number of users grows to that of mastodon and beyond ? Could there be some intermediate compromise solution (e.g. federate batches of 100 likes)?

I didn’t discover Lemmy through search, nor did I ever use reddit - I found it from mastodon where a few people promote lemmy posts. Then gradually realised I preferred the community-focus here, compared to the individual-focus of mdon (although combining both could be good). As mdon has many more users, improving this inter-op would help to bring people here.

Indeed that’s strange, and the flat slope in 2060 seems inconsistent with declared net-zero policies of China and even India. Russia has no such policy, but still strange to assume continuation of current government concepts there until 2060. (you can see the regional breakdown in supplem Fig 1. )

Regarding the map - an annual average cost is not so meaningful - in higher latitudes solar is not enough in winter - especially where it’s mostly cloudy during the first half of winter. Wind helps the balance but not everywhere, always. Of course, the sophisticated models behind the article know all that, the issue is simplistic presentation. I note “we assume hydrogen is used for seasonal storage” - this may be rather optimistic - how many dark months can that cover?

Aucune réservation obligatoire (hors international) en Belgique, Suisse, Allemagne, Grand-Bretagne … Cette proposition est ridicule, on pousse les gens au voiture. Et la France avait si bon système de chemin de fer, avant qu’ils ont essayé copier l’aviation.

I agree. The key symbiosis between coral and microalgae depends on fundamental thermodynamic equilibria of the carbonate chemistry of seawater - which are highly sensitive to temperature and atmospheric CO2, in very predictable ways. When living in coral becomes unprofitable for the algae, they leave. My instinct, from some experience with this system, is that introducing new species won’t do better than nature, nobody can beat thermodynamics. We have to reduce the CO2.

Wonder whether the popularity of the president will follow a similar pattern as in France, trying similar idea … ?

Mais - j’essais comprendre n’étant pas français … - si les ministres auraient été remplacés par leurs suppléants, le résultat aurait été ± la même, n’est-ce pas ?

Note that Knesset has 120 seats (not obvious from the article). (also, of course, a large fraction of people between the river and the sea don’t get to vote for any of its seats)

Point de vue d’un visiteur d’un pays voisin en planifiant voyages en famille, la problème c’est que c’est si complexe, rechercher d’options différentes pour chaque région.

I see that says ‘has to be local only, not federated’ (same issue also discussed on github).
‘Local only’ suggests to me front-end, i.e. info stored by browser. In that case people who are often switching devices would have to re-organise on each one, which could be tedious.
So isn’t there something in between local and federated - i.e. saved by the instance as user-settings, but not pushed to other instances?
Maybe there could be some manual copying mechanism, so a user who organises a big set of communities could share with others. (This reminds me of mastodon ‘lists’ and various ways of organising and transferring them).

Nearly 200 upthumbs, more ?!
But the discussion explores broader and narrow variants, need to coalesce.

La droite a utilisé des accusations similaires pour démoniser Jeremy Corbyn en angleterre pour l’élection de 2019. Bien que je ne suis aucun fan de lui - qui a fait des nombreux erreurs sur d’autres sujets, quand même il connaissait bien la situation en Palestine. Ce n’est pa la vérité ou l’équilibre qui compte pour la droite - si une recette fonctionne pour gagner, ils la répètent.

“…at a rate of roughly 0.05 percent per day … would take a very long time” … but by my quick calculation 0.9995^3650 is 84% per decade, which is not long. Almost instantaneous on a geological timescale - and think how much the world changed when fungi learned how to digest lignin in wood - ending the era of coal-forming swamps.

I’m using Alexandrite, find it good

Hmm, publishing that will really help those Crimean beach hotels get customers for this summer…

This is an unprecedented situation - if a guy who’s in prison (speaking via AI) and whose party is not allowed on electoral lists can nevertheless win an election , think which other countries might also be inspired by this … ! (note - although I’m not so keen on Khan (populist), am even less keen on military rule). I suppose now it depends which way PPP and MQM will turn ?

Indeed, as I mentioned in my main comment

Some of the ‘mandates’ are far too easily implemented.

At least that one requires a ‘parliament majority’ - otoh big groups are not in that parliament at all… Actually ‘ungrowth’ in the north may just happen anyway, slowly, for demographic reasons.
Maybe this type of game could provide a structure to help people to debate factors, if could vary (packages of) assumptions… ?
As it is, might encourage some to wait for a revolution rather than engaging current options.

Well you can ‘win’ leaving current nuclear fraction as is, the old stuff keeps working without any disaster (missing factor ??).
Otoh, nuclear fusion has been tomorrow’s breakthrough for half a century …
