  • Absolutely understandable. Maybe there is some easy tool around, but I see some potential problems.

    Questions such as “Is this zone habitable in 2035” or “Will this area be ocean in 2050” are extremely hard to answer with our current knowledge and available data. As you probably know, climate scientists speak of probabilities, as projections e.g.for temperature are highly uncertain, especially in the more far away future. If there is a tool answering such questions, you probably can’t trust it. Then, you will likely not get a one does it all tool, as the questions OP asked are highly specific. All in all the matter is very complex and there are no easy answer. You need some kind of motivation to gather a certain amount of background knowledge about the topic.

    I think what comes closest to what OP wants is downloading model results from largely accepted climate models such as CMIP6. They usually come in special file formats that can efficiently store geospatial time series, such as netCDF or HDF5. There are tools like Panoply where you can do some very nice visualisations. You do not need to code neither is the software very complex. QGIS and ArcGIS are overkill here, as you would not want to do spatial analysis but only visualize.

    The work you would need to do is 1) understanding what you want - there is not a single result, instead you have climate projections under several different scenarios, model assumptions, input data etc. You need to figure out what to choose. 2) Have a decent feeling of geospatial visualization techniques. Cartography is a complex field, and correctly visualizing data is pretty hard.

    I am sorry I cannot provide easy solution. WhatI can offer is helping to acquire data if you what you want and also I can give technical support on visualization software. Maybe also give you some guidelines on how to interpret a figure.




  • It’s actually a receiver, a Yamaha R-S202 D, nothing special, but I wanted to have bluetooth and radio. The speakers are Diamond 12.0, a pretty small version that fits on my desk. I have my computer and my record player connected. As I am not buying on Amazon, the speakers were pretty hard to get (in black of course lol) at a reasonable price, I think it was about 250€.


    1. My bike. I use it daily to get to work, to the super market, visiting friends. It keeps me healthy I do not need a car and I can drive wherever I want all the time. It cost me 500€.

    2. My Bodom french press. I use it daily to quickly make 2-4 cups of coffee, it tastes fantastic, provides coffee and is high quality. 35€.

    3. My Amplifier and Wharfedale speakers. I bought them 2 years ago for 500 €. All my life I had cheap active computer speakers or bluetooth boxes. Everytime I tune them up, it get’s a little warmer in my tummy.

    All 3 things are far away from high end, people spend the multiple on what I spent. Still they all make me super happy and I will watch and keep them until one of us dies.



  • You need to learn a skill that leads to a living wage. Demanding politicians to directly do that

    This is a perfect example of traditional neoliberal rhetoric, attributing success solely to individual effort and downplaying structural obstacles. It operates under the assumption that everyone has equal opportunities for success, which is simply not the case. This ideology perpetuates the existence of a low-wage sector for those who may not have had access to the same educational opportunities, such as migrants, single parents, and others facing systemic barriers. The American Dream, often touted as a symbol of success through hard work, is a myth perpetuated by neoliberalism. It is important not to buy into the narrative that one’s circumstances are solely their own fault. Statistics show that social mobility is much lower in the US compared to many European countries, which further disproves the idea that hard work alone guarantees success.





  • It’s pretty relatable. A lot of apps like to use their own folders, like my lemmy app.
    If I download files from my banking app they get saved to root (sdcard), most others save to my Download folder. Then there is DCIM where I have photos, but Telegram does not care, for Signal I have to export each file to the file system seperately.

    The worst thing though is that the files in Downloads/ are ordered A-Z by default. No idea if this is a LineageOS thing, but it drives me crazy.

    I am not sure if you are being cynical tbh. I was reacting to a comment stating it’s weird your employer plays a role in health insurance in US, my point was he does in Germany too.

    Of course our social system is totally different. The tax payer will usually cover your insurance in case you lose your job. Coverage levels are not a thing, everybody has more or less the same level which is rather high compared to other countries. However there is private insurance for high earners and state employees that do not pay into the public fund, meaning we do have a two class system which is pretty unfair.

    In Germany your employer usually needs to pay 50% of your health insurance, given you work over a certain hour per week threshold. I mean in the end it’s by convention and as employee you do not profit as a higher wage would be preferable. Historically grown, but not solely a US thing (even if not really comparable).
