solo@slrpnk.netOPto World News@lemmy.world•Statement on the situation in Iran | IAEAEnglish1·16 days agoI also think that the Israeli attacks are related to Iran’s nuclear program but I don’t think they are related to this alleged leak. Here is a 25 min long al jazeera podcast for more on this:
solo@slrpnk.netOPto World News@lemmy.world•Statement on the situation in Iran | IAEAEnglish22·17 days agoThank you for your input. Even tho I find this to be totally faisable, from what the cradle article provides, I cannot verify much:
- fars looks like it’s an Iranian outlet I personnaly don’t know if I can trust or not, regardless of mbfc
- the informed sources are not named
- I didn’t manage to find the documents mentionned*
Apart from that at some point it mentions that Grossi said in Times of Israel that “We have seen some reports in the press. We haven’t had any official communication about this.”, but it is about Iran stealing Israeli documents.
Anyways, if you or anyone has more on this, please share.
Edit: *I mean deducted, or something

solo@slrpnk.netMto Ocean Conservation & Tidalpunk@slrpnk.net•Sharks & Rays Found Using Offshore Wind Farms As Habitat - CleanTechnica6·17 days agoI’m a bit confused because the title claims that windfarms are habitats, and in the article itself it says:
“We’re trying to understand whether these animals are actually using the wind farms as habitat, or whether they’re being displaced by them,” says Annemiek Hermans, PhD candidate at Wageningen University & Research.
solo@slrpnk.netOPto Water@slrpnk.net•Window-sized device taps the air for safe drinking water without electricityEnglish2·17 days agoGreat points you made there.
I don’t know much about the bacteria that could develop in stagnant water but it certainly sounds like something to keep an eye out in relation to how this project evolves.
And I edited the title to include the no electricity part you mentionned.

solo@slrpnk.netOPto Solarpunk BreadTube@slrpnk.net•The Myth of the Alpha Male [by Pop Culture Detective]1·27 days agoI have the impression that in order to find a satisfying debunking of the kind, maybe you should look into social darwinism and eugenics. In a way, it’s through these pseudoscientific approaches that the stereotypes reguarding colonial hierarchies were established as ‘scientific’, and created the room for relevant assumptions to take hold of future societies. I say this because I don’t believe there is something more to debunk about the ‘alpha wolf’: it doesn’t even apply to wolfs.
Of course, one could look back further for relevant patriachical non-sense.
Anyways, just a few thoughts.
solo@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Five geoengineering trials the UK is funding to combat global warming2·27 days agoI have noticed that The Conversation has articles that I consider to be great and others that I find to be the opposite. Unfortunately, for me, this one is in the later category.
In this one, mainly they talk about how the technologies will work, about money and the urgency to use this tech. The real urgency is to start phasing out fossil fuel globally. Also, they don’t talk about the unintended consequences, the too many known unknowns, and let’s keep in mind there are uncountable unknown unknowns in geoengineering.

solo@slrpnk.netto Ask Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•What do people do with their old laptops?English4·28 days agoThe following ideas are not exactly what you ask for, but maybe they are worth considering?
-
I don’t know what operating system you use, but for me old computers is how I got into linux. Linux Mint is very easy to install and to use, so it prolongs the life of perfectly good machines that are too old to be updated by proprietary software. Personally, I was doing most updates so that the laptop is as functional as possible for the longest time, and I was always doing the secuity ones. A few years back a friend gave me a 2006 laptop and it worked kind of ok with an old version of mint, it was just very slow. This one was given to another friend who didn’t have any.
-
Depending on where you live there could be a makerspace, or a relevant collective that could use them, or parts of them.
-
If they are not working anymore, you can use the parts to do crafts: jewleries, pins, fridge magnets, keychains, light fixture, wall decoration, photo frame, book holder are a few possibilities.

solo@slrpnk.netOPto Europa / Europe and the EU + EEA@lemmy.world•Four European countries call for Palestine’s admission as a full member of the UN11·1 month agoNot sure what the point is.
It’s pretty simple.
It’s because Palestine was among former Ottoman territories placed under UK administration by the League of Nations in 1922. All of these territories eventually became fully independent States, except Palestine [source: UN 1917 – 1947: British mandate].
Israel at least has a reason to wage war, even if they’ve gone wildly overboard.
It is called a Genocide
Also, UN is the one who put Israel where it is.
Yes, and Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members. So it makes sense for Palestine to have a full membership.

solo@slrpnk.netOPMto Fungi: mycelia, mushrooms & more@slrpnk.net•Urban fungi in Singapore4·1 month agoI have the impression that this article exagerates how clean the air in Sigapore currently is. I found a site that has real-time info, but I am not familliar with how this is calculated or if this info is trustworthy.
So, if anyone knows stuff about this topic, let us know!
solo@slrpnk.netto Global News@lemmy.zip•Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries3·1 month agoCoincidentaly, I also posted this article but after reading it a second time, I decided to delete it because I found it was very problematic since it says very contradictory things. If I misunderstood something, please point it out to me.
Examples of contradictions:
Over 99% of the almost 1.89m tCO2e estimated […] is attributed to Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza.
[…] 50% [of CO2e emissions] were generated by the supply and use of weapons, tanks and other ordnance by the Israeli military (IDF), the study found.
- And there is this graph claiming that most emissions by sector come from Gaza aid delivery (trucks).
solo@slrpnk.netOPto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries3·1 month agoAccording to this article, it looks like most emissions come from Israel’s IDF
Over 99% of the almost 1.89m tCO2e estimated to have been generated between the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack and the temporary ceasefire in January 2025 is attributed to Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza.

solo@slrpnk.netto Fruit & Fruit Trees@slrpnk.net•What fruit do you wish more people knew about?2·1 month agoYes, it’s Diospyros kaki! And your Diospyros blancoi, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them. I’ll ask around if we got them around here. Btw, do you find them to be delicious? For D. kaiki I can say some people don’t like them. Personally, I like them a lot when they are super ripe, otherwse tbh not so much.
Not too sure I understand what you mean. Needs a published paper first, for what?
This is about a congress. For some reason, I wouldn’t be surprised if a scientist could present early findings of their research in a scientific gathering, meaning before publishing a paper. Just to be clear, I really don’t know what are the general or specific rules in order to participate in a congress, a conference etc, so please correct me if my assumption is wrong.
solo@slrpnk.netto Fruit & Fruit Trees@slrpnk.net•What fruit do you wish more people knew about?2·1 month agoI think in english it is called persimmon.
I don’t know why, but it’s not easy to find this fruit even tho it grows localy. They really are not common, unless you know a tree!
