‘India is going to face a food crisis’: Farmers panic over fertiliser shortages amid Iran war

Implementing a tit-for-tat algorithm in a Freenet contract would be great. If you don’t serve their Iroh content, they won’t serve yours. This would create a mutually beneficial relationship, ensuring that neither party loses data during downtime.

iambrainstorming.github.io/chapters/soc... Decentralized platforms are not ad platforms; they are open-source, ad-free, and focused on quality over vanity metrics—which big tech platforms often ignore.

Better metrics should be: 1. How much time users meaningfully spend on the platform 2. Whether they discover meaningful content—or just AI-generated slop

What’s the suggestion? Enshittification? Start filling posts with AI-generated images. Likes are not a good metric. bsky.app/profile/jame...

“Driving is so hard-wired into American culture, life and institutions, that it’s hard to account for all the ways it is subsidized, preferenced or otherwise favored. But a law professor at the University of Iowa, attempted it anyway.” #UtbanTruth Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

These forms of transport should be priority most direct routes.. any fossil fuelled vehicles should be redirected round them.. Only then will things really change. THe Netherlands with bikes having priority is the way to go...

One of the biggest disinformation campaigns ever applied to cities involves the constant claims that “driving pays its way.” It’s actually MASSIVELY subsidized, while things like walking, biking, public transit & supportive housing for the unhoused actually SAVE PUBLIC MONEY. #UrbanTruth

If even the compiler is not safe, then what can we trust? For instance, in August 2023, Curve Finance, one of the largest decentralized exchanges, suffered a $62 million exploit due to a bug in the Vyper compiler, a programming language used for Ethereum smart contracts.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #UrbanTruth in @fastcompany.com

bsky.app/profile/beas... But people still favor this regime. They are asking whom they will vote for, as Congress doesn’t seem like a viable alternative to them. According to them, Congress would be more dangerous than BJP.

The regime which did not act this way for 12+ years, is starting to act now. Meaning: it senses changing tides. The regime is scared and that fear, plus the actions it takes to repress criticism and counterpoints will be the key to its downfall.

www.ft.com/content/27e0... Our food security is fragile. It depends heavily on fossil-fuel-based fertilizers. We need to transition to resilient systems: Organic & circular farming, biological nitrogen fixation, agroecology, biofertilizers, and closed-loop systems like hydroponics.

Nitrogen fertilisers such as ammonia and urea are produced from natural gas. Phosphorus depends on sulphur, a by-product of oil and gas refining used to convert phosphate rock into fertiliser. www.ft.com/content/27e0...
