Anything less than 1.5°C is defeatism and is literally the end of the world as we know it. It will literally mean mass death. I won’t settle for a 2°C target.

Not falling fast enough, not falling for 1.5°C. Don’t do PR for presidents who don’t give two shits about reaching climate goals.

Sure, so has almost every country in the world. Men are words, and words are wind.

We'll win if we mitigate global warming to.1.5°C. I don't see Biden phasing out coal and fossil gas or setting lowered targets for oil. No, as it is, we will exceed 2.0°C.

Even if 1.5°C has become impossible, and I do believe it is already, I'll still fight for it.

Wonky font. It is 79.

Yes, as a result of SciHub’s ongoing litigation in India, they voluntarily decided to stop updating their database. This is old news. You can look it up.

It’s too expensive ://

Awesome! Thank you for telling me about Scribd downloader and finding the first book.

As for the Academia.edu link, it doesn’t seem like premium will provide the PDF, that’s just premium membership. The actual PDFs are governed by individual authors. Seems that author uploaded a preview of the book perhaps to indicate that they contributed to it so it counts as a citation.

Both are on Oxford Politics Trove. Would you happen to have institutional access?

Yes, I’m aware Issues has pirated versions of earlier editions available, I have those already. I’m hoping for the latest version.

That works quite well in my country, where book piracy isn’t as policed, but that’s not an option for me because I can’t access or buy a physical copy.

Yeah, that’s a good tip, but I need the whole book. I’ve checked.

 

Heya folks, some people online told me I was doing partitions wrong, but I’ve been doing it this way for years. Since I’ve been doing it for years, I could be doing it in an outdated way, so I thought I should ask.

I have separate partitions for EFI, /, swap, and /home. Am I doing it wrong? Here’s how my partition table looks like:

  • FAT32: EFI
  • BTRFS: /
  • Swap: Swap
  • Ext4: /home

I set it up this way so that if I need to reinstall Linux, I can just overwrite / while preserving /home and just keep working after a new install with very few hiccups. Someone told me there’s no reason to use multiple partitions, but several times I have needed to reinstall the OS (Linux Mint) while preserving /home so this advice makes zero sense for me. But maybe it was just explained to me wrong and I really am doing it in an outdated way. I’d like to read what you say about this though.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This is quite a long text, but you don’t need to read the chapters in order and each chapter is on a different urban experiment. It looks at “radical municipalism” or a communities taking back power of their city and rebuilding it into what they want to make of it. The rebel cities are:

  1. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
  2. Rojava, Northern Syria
  3. Chiapas, Mexico
  4. Warsaw, Poland
  5. Bologna, Italy
  6. Jackson, Mississippi
  7. Athens, Greece
  8. New York City, New York & Warsaw, Poland
  9. Reykjavík, Iceland
  10. Rosario, Argentina
  11. Newham, UK
  12. Valparaiso, Chile
  13. Porto Alegre, Brazil; Greensboro, North Carolina
  14. Montevideo, Uruguay
  15. Communes, Venezuela
  16. Cape Town, South Africa
  17. Goma, DR Congo
  18. Jemna, Tunisia
  19. Gdansk, Poland
  20. Dakur, Senegal
  21. Mumbai, India
  22. Phan Ri Cua & Binh Thuan, Vietnam
  23. Seikatsu, Japan
  24. Catalonia, Spain
  25. Barcelona, Spain
  26. Denmark and Scotland
 

While not natural structures, their platforms have been embedded into the muddy seabed long enough to become part of the ocean environment, providing a home for creatures like mussels and barnacles, which in turn attract larger fish and sea lions that find safety and food there.

After two and a half decades of studying the rigs, Bull says it’s clear to her: “These places are extremely productive, both for commercial and recreational fisheries and for invertebrates.”

Now, as California and the US shift away from offshore drilling and toward greener energy, a debate is mounting over their future. On one side are those who argue disused rigs are an environmental blight and should be removed entirely. On the other side are people, many of them scientists, who say we should embrace these accidental oases and that removing the structures is morally wrong. In other parts of the world, oil rigs have successfully become artificial reefs, in a policy known as rigs to reefs.

 

One of the most erudite anti-work texts that describes what work is and how it takes part in social reproduction.

 

This app has an easy downloader of music and music albums from Youtube Music, so it's definitely an awesome piracy tool.
