@EU_Commission These claims go entirely against the consensus in the field.

The projected growth in AI, blockchain, IoT will lead to a massive rise in emissions, not a reduction. And contrary to your claim, none of these technologies is essential in reducing emissions.

Quantum Computing is unlikely to be mainstream by 2050 and has currently no promise of energy efficiency. There are much more promising compute technologies. Space-based services cause emissions in the upper atmosphere which leads to additional warming of those layers, making global warming worse.

Please check with experts before posting things like this.(fwiw, I am an expert in low-carbon and sustainable computing so green & digital transition is my area)

Voor een land vol “onafhankelijke” mensen die zich door niemand de wetten laten voorschrijven en achter niemand aanlopen vind ik het toch wel opvallend hoe vaak de waanzin die we in Amerika zien hier kritiekloos, likkebaardend en kwijlend een op een wordt overgenomen. Soms waaien er goede dingen over - BLM, Me Too - maar veel vaker lijken domme, wrede trends uit Amerika hier onweerstaanbaar.

Kijk, dit dus. Die ellende waait over uit Amerika. We waren er hier toch grotendeels uit, maar blijkbaar beleeft agressief demonstreren en geladen lulkoek verkopen voor de deuren van een medische instelling een opleving. Hoe kan ik het duidelijker zeggen dan dat iedereen die niet de zwangere vrouw in kwestie of haar arts is zich er niet mee moet bemoeien?

FTR. I fully support the right of any pregnant person to make their own choice. Taking bodily autonomy away is the opposite of support and care that is often claimed by opponents of abortion. Returning to a past we had thought we had overcome is unacceptable to me.

Fact: Fact: In at least 10 US states, laws in access to abortion will be MORE restrictive than in Iran, Somalia and other countries. #justsayin https://www.ft.com/content/ebf64d7b-064c-4c8c-9825-27dfddb111e8 (possibly paywalled)

Don't listen to these fools. Violence and riots is the only thing they will listen to. people in power are not moved to change unless they themselves stand to benefit. And if benefitting looks like not storming their homes and breaking their windows, so be it.

a reminder for no particular reason that suffregerts were far more radical then we are told at school

🚨 NEW: #Facebook is collecting ultrasensitive personal #data about #abortion seekers and enabling anti-abortion organizations to use that data as a tool to target and influence people online, in violation of its own policies and promises.

Modern #protest guide in times of #SurveillanceCapitalism. First and foremost: GO. Participate in protests. #FeetOnTheStreet beats any sort of online petition (many of those platforms are full of trackers anyway). 1/n

via @/MPHProject on twitter - "To all the liberals and NGOs planning on trying to pacify and control other peoples’ responses to Roe in the streets…"

If you're gonna go to a probably-boring protest this weekend, this would be a good one to distribute.

Reminder: none of the rights you have as a person were won through peaceful means.
