A new study of more than 45,000 water samples around the world found that about 31% of groundwater samples tested that weren’t near any obvious source of contamination had levels of PFAS chemicals considered harmful to human health. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/04/09/sustainability/pfas-forever-chemicals-water-worldwide/ #environment #sustainability #pfas #pollution #water #oceans

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."

I am the lorax I speak for the trees.
Here I post mostly work or not at all if I can help it. I can be found all over the internet elsewhere however! Consider this place my front door.
The volume of my work and my services are offered at the #free store.
What does an #anarchist business model look like? This is what an anarchist business model looks like.
I call it the free store plus, because you can plus me some money if you like. While I don't hassle, and I am a humble man, calamity ironically struck before I was prepared. The #homestead is not finished, many of the systems are only halfway completed at best. My little storefront is now my only source of income https://ko-fi.com/b_whitewind/shop
A direct link to my #botany #horticultural and work out in the #green is here. If my services aren't what brought you by

My main social is now elsewhere. My taste are rather outlandish for the crowd here, which I can respect so I've taken the party elsewhere so to speak. Find me touching grass at

While most of my work is mirrored on ko-fi, you can find a direct link to my YouTube channel here.
https://youtu.be/KN5-Y8TXKlE?si=_iVdFDa4GQ0A5sLo
Unlike my various social media accounts, the only time anything is posted to Ko-fi or my YouTube channel is when it is work related. So if that's what you're here for, that's where you'll find it.
My personal account is now https://bsky.app/profile/bishopwhitewind.bsky.social
Again, thank you for stopping by, and blessed be.

I can't say that I finished my #solarpunk #gamedesign blogpost, but I decided to finally share what I've scribbled so far:
Expect a long journey through a list of games called (or calling themselves) Solarpunk - whether video-, #BoardGame , #ttrpg , or other!
I welcome you to share your own titles, disagree and point out what I got wrong :)

A fresh #Introduction post for a fresh start here:
I’ve spent most of my tech career in open source. I’ve written some good code, but I tend to find my strengths are in developing teams and leveling-up the people on them so I currently work as a VP for small startup.
I care pationately about #sustainability and humane tech, even though I often find the definitions of both elusive.
My free time is spent reading, writing and enjoying the time I have with friends and family.

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 ☺️

In central Alaska, a small village is undergoing a clean energy transformation in order to boost savings, build resilience and provide jobs. 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. Here’s what they said:
