Dear journalists,
Please stop using the "we" word as if we are all equally to blame for the climate crisis.
The corporations want us to believe that nobody cares, but that is a big lie. Most people are well aware of this crisis and do not want it. Governments are simply not doing what most people want, because the rich have much more say than the poor. It is social inequality that leads to all this.
It is the ever increasing social inequality in the world that is making the ecology fall apart, followed by societal collapse (uncontrolled degrowth).
Social ecology is based on the conviction that nearly all of our present ecological problems originate in deep-seated social problems.
-- Murray Bookchin

How do you solve the cost-of-living crisis? Decommodify essential goods and services and therefore directly reduce the cost of living.
It's not rocket science. Every government can deliver universal public services. To refuse is a policy choice.
Spain is the first to call for a EU-wide coordinated withdrawal from the ECT, which is great news. Meeting is on Friday: if you're an EU citizen, now's the time to demand your government follow Spain's lead.

The law will never make men free; it is men who have got to make the law free.

So someone says "Over 3 billion people use the Web." That may sound true, but if you look a little bit deeper, you may see that most of those people, maybe 95%, use enclosed spaces inside the web, which are closely monitored 24/7 by highly qualified teams of psychologists (and their AIs).
These enclosed spaces on the web are now called "Walled gardens."
The very nice thing about qjs is that any script you can run with it, also compiles to a executable with qjsc. And unlike luastatic, all the external modules that you import, get compiled along with it.

After 40 years of destructive neoliberal policies, we have reached the point where partial solutions have become untenable (there is not enough time left, perhaps 1 or 2 years). We need to have a debate on post-growth and following that, post-capitalism.
If you are into javascript, you should really take a look at QuickJS. It is a powertool par excellence. https://bellard.org/quickjs/
I needed to generate static html pages from markdown text and it does that in just a few milliseconds.
First get the markdown converter:
$ wget https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/marked.min.js
In your qjs script you say:
std.loadScript('./marked.min.js');
let markdowntext = ' - [dev log](http://raspberrypi:3489/Devlog)';
// and then convert to html:
print(marked.parse(markdowntext));
Unless we realize that the present market society, structured around the brutally competitive imperative of "grow or die," is a thoroughly impersonal, self-operating mechanism, we will falsely tend to blame other phenomena -- such as technology or population growth -- for growing environmental dislocations.

The idea of dominating nature has a history that is almost as old as that of hierarchy itself.
