sustainability

hello all!

a lil #introduction post as i’m brand new to mastodon but incredibly intrigued by what i’ve seen while exploring so far :)

i’m danny (they/them), a #nonbinary artist and #insect enthusiast who draws a lot of #nature, especially bugs and mushrooms!! i also take a lot of #photography of nature, and bother people for the identification (i’m a life long learner and knowledge is tasty)!

i’m also working on a #graphicnovel (very early stages) that has a lot to do with the #environment, connecting with community and nature and what it means to belong to a place (also being #queer naturally) :3

some of my other interests include, #gardening, #solarpunk, #sustainability, #crochet, #reading, and #diy!!

i’m looking forward to meeting people!

After months of sorting more than 50k bricks & numerous weekends of building, my son & I finished the #Lego Millennium Falcon™ (75192) last weekend.
Made of around 7.5k colorful bricks & weighing around 13kg in total. Our greatest Lego project ever.
Out of the 7.5k bricks we had 6.5k in our stocks & ordered the rest. Believing in #sustainability we reused most of the bricks we already had.

Please boost, if want to color up someone else's day! 🚀🌈

Figures like this one from Carbon Brief are what make me optimistic that our society is ALREADY on the path to being much greener.

This is the distribution of the fossil/non-fossil fuel mix for electricity for every half hour in a year in Britain, and it's absolutely clear that a HUGE shift away from fossil fuels is taking place.

Yes, there's lots more to do, but we are already making great progress. We just need more of the same.

Great interview with @Mer__edith in @WIRED from @agreenberg talking @signalapp, #surveillance, #privacy and #sustainability

"Signal is a nonprofit because a for-profit structure leads to a scenario where one of my board members goes to Davos, talks to some guy, comes back excitedly telling me we need an AI strategy for profit. Or another one of my board members comes in, gets really nervous that our revenue model, whatever it is, isn’t bringing in something that meets our goals and says, “Well, maybe we can start collecting metadata. Maybe we can reduce the focus on privacy, because of course our primary objective function, as a traditional for-profit, is revenue and growth.” And privacy in an economy powered by surveillance will necessarily hamper those."

An extremely welcome initiative from the 🇪🇺 #eu:

At #EuroPython lots of people are asking how many projects are built with @django. The answer is about 500k to 1M. And yet we only raise $250k per year to support the project, yep, sustainability in open source is hard ☺️

People there want to cut their reliance on expensive, imported diesel that’s one of the largest contributors of planet-warming emissions. @AssociatedPress talked to residents about their efforts.
