In fact, regular tunable wavelength lasers do work with diffraction gratings. https://www.edmundoptics.com/knowledge-center/application-no...

The best tool for significantly reducing noise across social media while remaining connected is the News Feed Eradicator. LinkedIn is a particularly important tool for me, as I use this social media network a lot for work, but I can't allow myself to be distracted by it. With this little tool, I can set exactly how many minutes a day I want to spend on the feed without losing the ability to contact others directly via LinkedIn. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/news-feed-eradicato...

Maybe because the em dash is not on the keyboard of most people? It is not about the dash, but about the long em dash.

Whenever I see an em dash (—), I suspect the entire text was written by an AI.

That's true. I usually stop when I don't receive any karma, but that wasn't the case here. I've never experienced getting constant karma after multiple posts before.

In fact, the effect you describe is very complex, so there is a whole open source project that allows you to evaluate the actual contrail climate impact for each individual flight: https://github.com/contrailcirrus/pycontrails

Open Access publication on open source software used in climate and sustainability. Derived using ecosyste.ms

No, all text and images are 100% man-made. It's always astonishing how many people don't understand the crucial role of (open source) software and climate change. Just look at the massive greenwashing that has taken place in recent years with manipulated CO2 offsetting figures. If we want to trust numbers about the impact on our environment and their part of our prices, there is no way around making these numbers traceable using open source / open science methods. And LLMs are not traceable.

This is intentional, as the podcast is a collaboration between two communities: OpenSustain.tech with a focus on how to sustain the environment with open source and SustainOSS with a focus on how to sustain open source as a movement.

I use Feedblocker for all social media and have to say it is a real relief. I can still participate when I'm mentioned, but I can now focus on what I think is relevant to me instead of letting big companies decide what might be relevant to me or how best to capture my attention span. This is how I was able to finally finish my PhD.

I have never seen a better advert for open source than this scandal.

The examples and tutorials for these libraries were an ideal introduction to me in astronomy, astrodynamics and satellite orbits. As part of my Ph.D., I was able to build a multiple orbit simulation and validation tools for smaller satellite missions thanks to Skyfield.

That's exactly why I'm also very interested in using Grist. Embedding spreadsheets into web pages has never satisfied me and has resulted in unacceptable load times.

LF Energy, the open source foundation focused on harnessing the power of collaborative software and hardware technologies to decarbonize our global economies, and Protontypes, an open community accelerating free and sustainable technology, today released “The Open Source Sustainability Ecosystem”. The report provides qualitative and quantitative insights into the landscape of open source sustainability projects, identifies those having the biggest impact, as well as gaps that stakeholders across the energy industry should look to fill.

A total of 1,339 active projects were analyzed and grouped into fields by their primary areas of focus. Projects were then analyzed based on their popularity, longevity, programming languages, licenses, number of contributors, organizational diversity, and other factors.

Unfortunately, UNEP does not address the unpleasant truth here either. The biggest destroyer of nature is intensive livestock farming, especially for meat production. Today, about 40% of the inhabitable land is used for feeding livestock. Removing subsidies in this area could very quickly bring back biodiversity, fight climate change and increase food security worldwide. Unfortunately, for many, eating meat has become like a fetish and such measures are politically almost impossible to implement. Here some more data about this: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use#half-of-the-world-s-habi...

Red Hat has discontinued support for OpenSource.com and laid off all editors. This article gives hope that community will continue elsewhere in the future.

The rapid development of AI could lead to people generally being frightened away from digital products. In my own social environment, I see more and more people who used to be very enthusiastic about computers turning away to more analog entertainment and work.

Blindly developing technology only as part of the "power play" without solving real problems is no longer justifiable. AI is starting to create significantly more problems than it has actually solved, comparable to the fossil fuel industry.

This is one of those typical cases of legal departments that have run out of work and are looking for legitimacy for their own existence. Many lawyers are able to expand their own economic sphere without generating any added value for the general public.

The models behind the projects are also open source: https://py.contrails.org/

We tried something similar in the past: https://github.com/protontypes/LibreSelery

Donation were distributed entirely through the CoinBase api by sending emails to each developer in the Git history.

I wonder how you will divide the money among the developers. Giving money just to the project maintainers will not strengthen the community. Unfortunately, this is often exactly the area where support is needed to create sustainable open source in addition to fiscal support.

The best way to solve climate change with a skill set like yours is to make ESG ratings more open, transparent and scientific. Here two resources to get started in this domain. OS-Climate can definitely use your skills:

"For Sentinel products, ESA usually makes them available on their OpenHub in 6-12 hours (target timing is 3-6 hours, sometimes it takes longer, even more than one day)." Source: https://www.sentinel-hub.com/faq/how-soon-after-acquisition-...).

The question is how to measure the environmental impact of companies and their supply chains in a global and traceable way. Here there are first exciting approaches like Geospatial ESG Geospatical Finance.

Every action you take first creates emissions. Doing nothing often seems to be the safest way to reduce your own emissions. This gives you a good feeling that you are at least not part of the problem. An open source / open science strategy at least prevents greenwashing and allows to at least focus on measures that actually save emissions. However, as long as the systemic / economic problem behind climate change is not solved, someone else will simply create the emissions for you.

I can absolutely understand you. A lot of what is done in this area is unfortunately greenwashing and is meant to make you feel good. That's why open source is so important for "impact" measurements. Conclusions based on open satellite data and open source processing pipelines are very difficult to "greenwash". Let numbers based on empirical measurements and open models decide what is actually sustainable for the climate, rather than opaque marketing.
