The UK is funding experiments on effectiveness of dimming the sun with aerosols to fight #globalwarming

Another example of a rich country taking ownership of the global environment

We barely understand weather systems as it is, and struggle to reliably forecast even a matter of days in advance

We know how to combat #climatechange but will not accept that the real solution will cost rich people power and convenience. We need far simpler lives #degrowth

Does anyone know of a good privacy oriented, preferably open source, Android app which I can use to block specific numbers please? I’m using Murena on a Fairphone 5.

Getting a few spam calls recently, the last one claimed to be “from blockchain”.

The ancient dune system near where we live on the Gower Peninsula is under threat from development. Unchanged since medieval times, this environment is home to remarkable wildlife and a natural haven and open space for the population. Homes locally are being made into Airbnbs and holiday/second homes. Gower was the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the UK. No effective resistance from Swansea Council which is effectively an Urban Council with no understanding of our rural AONB.

Palestine

Privileged to attend a showing of “Censoring Palestine” at the Elysium in Swansea yesterday evening. Important to support this cause and speak out against genocide and injustice.

TESLA

I’ve been pretty irritated by seeing the TESLA name on the storage battery for my Solar Energy System. Every time I walked past the side of my house I’d wince.

I made a modification today. What do you think?

There’s a planning application for housing on part of an ancient dune system at Pennard in Gower, Wales. The first area to be designated as an AONB (Area of outstanding natural beauty). Does anyone know of a good lawyer experienced in fighting such destructive plans? This is a beautiful place where it’s common to see free roaming cattle and wild ponies.

Recently, my wife joined U3A to look for local craft courses etc. Today their magazine dropped through the letterbox. (U3A matters).

90 pages, 29 pages of travel company adverts and much of the rest was articles about travelling.

It seems most people of our age only take holidays, talk about their holidays and look for their next holiday.

Our embargo on flying does not go down well, generally.

I saw that Amazon & Google are listed in the “No Thanks” app, which spots companies supporting Israel & which I therefore boycott.

Ubuntu advertises and uses these by default so I decided that in future I would use a different distro for the laptops I refurbish & which are distributed to kids who have nothing for school.

So I tried Mint - really surprised to see how many of the tech leeches apps are included by default

It would be good to find a distro compatible with not supporting them

I’ve been given a couple of laptops which I intend to give to disadvantaged kids for schoolwork - I know a local Councillor whose remit is working to alleviate poverty locally.

I’ll likely install Ubuntu, discarding the Windows OS and previous data. This will remove the need for families to fund Windows 365 and antivirus software (I know there are some free ones)

Any suggestions on pitfalls or what I should add would be welcome.

Please boost for visibility.
