Snap is still alive? I haven’t heard name in quite a while.

I got into programming via, I kid you not, Second Life.
Wanted to animate some objects with the built-in scripting language. Turned out I was pretty good at it.
Fast forward 15 years and I’m having a decade-long career in software.
For some little config it’s fine, but it’s horrible when used when you have thousands upon thousands of lines of it. Lots of DevOps tools tend to use it like a fully-blown turing-complete programming language, and each has a different DSL of doing variables, loops etc. And that becomes an abomination.
Since this week I get some form of ad in the github diff viewer. “Copilot is available for purchase for you organization”. Horrible.
Yeah it’s a small, local ISP. I love it. They only serve a small area, but therefore they behave like a local business with real people instead of a faceless corporation.
I’m wowed.
I have 1gbps symmetrical for €17.95 in the Netherlands.
You’re not getting many answers yet regarding nitrogen.
As a preface: When it comes to climate and environmental concerns with respect to agriculture, the word “nitrogen” does usually not refer to the completely harmless atmospheric nitrogen (N2). Instead, it refers to various compounds that contain nitrogen.
Nitrogenous pollution from cattle comes in two shapes:
The first is methane (NH3). A single cow burps and farts out about 100kg of methane each year. Methane is a greenhouse gas that’s 28 times as potent as CO2. This means a single cow is responsible for as much as 2800kg equivalent in CO2 each year due to burps and farts alone. For reference, the CO2 per capita emissions globally are about 4 tons (4000kg) per year, for all sources combined. Cows, relatively speaking, therefore produce a huge amount of CO2 equivalent.
The second is all the nitrogenous compounds in their excrements. This acts as a fertilizer on soil and in the water. While that sounds good, it leads to various unwanted effects. One is that agricultural runoff causes algal blooms in water that then ends up killing a significant amount of marine life. Another is that nutrient-rich soils tend to seriously decrease plant species diversity. Many native and wild plants actually need nutrient-poor soils to thrive. Those plants will get outcompeted by a small group of fast-growing plants that do well in all the cow-poop-infested soil. These compounds also tend to travel far, via agricultural runoff or even via the air, so ecosystems far away from farms are also impacted.
France and dystopian copyright laws, name a more typical duo.
So which is the lesser evil?
So can’t we reintroduce the sulfur?
Looks like we’ve entered a completely new regime now.
Portrait rights - i.e. the right the own one’s image - is a thing in some European jurisdictions. But of course this doesn’t exist in the US.
They already do some NFT thing.
