What I really like about #DeltaChat / #Chatmail :
- no read receipts (optional)
- delete history/automatically delete (optional)
- save messages only on the device
- super easy setup (really! super easy!)
- no need to save credentials (but it's better to save them if you want to reinstall things often)
- easy setup for the second device. Just click on "Add second device"
- chatmail is super easy to maintain. No group admins make it even easier!
- desktop and Android app

While I am just feeding no-other-obvious-source lisp pieces of my brain to my young kitten, here is principle component analysis in common lisp using an openly available #ML package #clml from a Japanese telco changing hands 15 years ago, actively developed by a lisp lone wolf up until five years ago.

My demo is in english (#emacs #eev #eepitch) in contrast to the Japanese internals.

#TimeTravelAuthors 6/15 Character who's least likely to time travel.
#TimeTravelAuthors 6/17 Excerpt: #Justice
#wss366 #Easy 6/17 (#GhostOfTimeTrave Part 1)

That’d be me, the “Wee Lass,” from the beginning of #TimeManager.

(Call that pantsing, rambling, toot, drabble fiction, even a story? It’s EASILY the worst story on the Fedi.)

I got my wish to be in two places simultaneously, but not the way I expected. No time travel involved.

Now invested with the power of the TimeTravelAuthors prompt, I summon a time-traveling ghost. I’ll get JUSTICE (revenge) from Poe and the Time (Project) Manager.

Consider this a prologue to another terrible, pantsing, etc., fiction. If you’ve a low nonsense-tolerance, filter on #GhostOfTimeTravel. Twofer filter #NMTTW

Muahahaha, Hehaw, cough, cough, cough.

Poe awoke, clutching his head, thinking, “EASY on the cocktails next time.”

Around a bonfire pranced lizards, toads, stags, and creatures more grotesque.

“Where the hell!?”

TM answered, “A smal wicche bad us hoom, 1150.”

Poe’s bedraggled raven added, “Þis is BYFAR þe wierdeste þing þat ich evere seye.”

“You’re not making a LICK of sense,” Poe said. “Translate!”

Raven obliged. “A wee witch invited us home to 1150.” I said, “This is EASILY the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“A witches’ Sabbath!!!” Poe exclaimed.

“Nay, a fest of disgisynges,” a goat-footed man explained.

Raven translated, “Nay, a costume party.”

From a small balcony, Joseph watched color return to the dark ocean.
He skipped five algorithmic, machine-generated "classic" songs before an actual one played. He sparked his pipe, formerly Gilman's, in triumph then took a deep hit.
He was going to need it.
He never told Yael last night.
He needed to tell Yael today.
Yael came out wearing his old shirt.
Joseph chuckled as Lionel Richie sang, "#Easy like Sunday morning". After Abby, he hoped it would be.
"Yaelio? Gotta tell ya sumptin'."

Volpex Picnic Park… That was that weird park with the bear and — a chill went through her — that owl. The bear was #easy to deal with — just give him a pack of cigarettes and he'd do anything. But the owl… She could see his eyes in her imagination. A frisson of fear washed over her. (2/2) #wss366

This is horseshit.

This is FUD, presented as if by a "friend"
Like anonymous "climate activists" telling us to concentrate on carbon capture.

"‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off"
by Stephen Burgen for The Guardian [Dec 18, 2024]

theguardian.com/environment/20

Quotes:
"Balcony solar panels can save 30% on a typical household’s electricity bill and, with vertical surface area in cities larger than roof space, the appeal is clear"

"They are easy to install, and knock chunks off electricity bills. It may not be Romeo and Juliet, but Spain’s balcony scene is heating up as the country embraces what has hitherto been a mainly German love affair with DIY plug-in solar panels."

"Manufacturers say that installing a couple of 300-watt panels will give a saving of up to 30% on a typical household’s electricity bill. With an outlay of €400-800 and with no installation cost, the panels could pay for themselves within six years."

"With solar balconies, no such consent is required unless the facade is listed as of historic interest or there is a specific prohibition from the residents’ association or the local authority. Furthermore, as long as the installation does not exceed 800 watts it doesn’t require certification, which can cost from €100 to €400, depending on the area."

"“The beauty of the solar balconies is they are flexible, cheap and plug straight into the domestic network via a converter, so you don’t have to pay for the installation,” says Santiago Vernetta, CEO of Tornasol Energy, one of Spain’s main suppliers."

"Raquel Paule, director of the Madrid-based Fundación Renovables, says../\..“Balcony power is another piece in the puzzle,” she says. “They are another step towards using the built environment to generate electricity.”

"Michael Schmela, director of market intelligence at SolarPower Europe: “What’s special about balcony power is it’s so versatile and you can install it as part of the building.
“This is the next step. The technology is there but the regulations and architects have to embrace it. There are so many solutions and balcony solar is the latest trend.”

"“Cities need to become more self-sufficient by generating more,” she says. “Energy transition involves a change from cities depending on a centralised system with big companies supplying electricity to a more widely distributed, more democratic and more participative model, and this is what the energy companies are scared of.”
“Big energy companies should be pushing for renewables because they’ve played a big part in getting us into this situation,” she says. “Instead of creating obstacles they should be facilitators by giving everyone access to the grid that they control.”

"Although balcony power is only a fraction of its solar energy capacity, Germany remains far and away the European leader in solar installation. It has set a target of sourcing 80% of electricity from renewables by 2030. The EU target is 42% , which Schmela believes will be achieved."

“If 1.5 million Germans have bought solar balcony kits there must be something in it,” he [Vernetta} says."
