Why is it so difficult to understand that by cutting the fat at the top will also increase profits and that profits can be zero and a company can still grow. So get rid of shareholders, get rid of outrageous salaries, plough back all the mansions, luxury cars, jewellery, designer clothes, shoes, etc., etc. and unnecessarily lavish consumption, there would probably be a bit left over to vicarious spend on proactive climate mitigation...

I updated my BIOS yesterday, in the BIOS I had to switch shit off, CSM, SVM, or some variety of acronyms, not sure, was already several puffs in, secure boot included, and then proceeded to install Fedora. After a reboot I switched shit back on, and Gnome Software helpfully asked to install two certificate thingies, my memory was even hazier by this stage...

Moodle works just great

Buy it, kill it, make it go away...

Capitalist efficiency, my arse...

Erm, if the cost of Teams and the associated ecosystem had been spent on OSS solutions, paying programmers directly, bypassing corporate costs like managers, stockholders, fancy real-estate, glitzy functions in golden ballrooms for 'charity' and all the things the entitled corporate hegemony demand in exchange for their 'skills', instead?

But still recognize his genius...

Missing, in one case a large hole filled with fluid. My eyesight is failing me too...

Conveniently Big AI does not differentiate cognative inference and cognative reasoning. If a man, with the parts of his brain responsible for reasoning can appear to be normal, hold a job, have a family and piss in a-bucket, so then too, can AI appear to be intelligent. We have barely reached the stage of microcellular mechanical lige, we don't have all the building blocks needed for machine reasoning yet, so good luck. Thankfully I will be long dead before the singularity transends the current dissonance and judges me, but I have one foot already in the grave...

Here's the rub... Unrefined cold-pressed seed oil is the healthiest option for consumers. Some oil palm varietals such as Red Oil Palm, contain high levels of nutrients and antioxidants (beta-carotene) and tastes good. No chemicals and complicated machinery is needed to produce oil for consumption and the by-products have many beneficial uses. Bio-charred palm nut shells are great for improving soil and sequester COÂ at the same time. Yields per hectare are much higher than other seeds used for oil such as olives and grape seed. Costs are lower. Minimal irrigation, fertilisation, insecticides, fungicides or other chemical interventions are needed. Simple organic fertilisers are available including use of composted by-products and pumping and flooding of easily accessible waterway sediments. Oil palms are resistant to disease and few animals and insects use the oil palm nuts for food. Linking the ratio of cultivated land to natural habitat, establishing habitat corridors, reserving bands of natural habitat along the banks of beaches, rivers, streams, lakes and swamps, then using a small portion the income generated from palm oil production for the sustainable rewilding, remediation and biodiversity of these protected areas. These fallow areas, with proper husbandry, could also produce income from foraging, fishing, logging and tourism. Solar panel installations designed to complement and supplement the forest canopy, could open up large areas of undergrowth of the lowerstory layer, provide funds from the sale of electricity to create and maintain a highly biodiverse habitat for a huge variety of animals, including Orangutans...
