I just deployed a Mastodon bot that posts forecasts for the most dangerous upcoming heatwaves
You can follow it at
To determine how dangerous a heatwave is, it uses wet-bulb temperature, which is the temperature that a body can be cooled to by evaporation
Sweating works to cool you because generally the wet-bulb temperature is lower than body temperature
As wet-bulb temperature increases and approaches body temperature, people can no longer cool themselves by sweating and will die
@AnarchoNinaWrites Is this what you are referring to?
(Dulles's involvement in secret surrender negotiations with an SS leader in Italy, and Dulles's later protection of that SS leader from prosecution at Nuremberg)
@garbados When Means spoke 43 years ago the competing ideologies were capitalism and Marxism, which he lumps together as "European"
I wonder how the speech would be different today when environmentalism is also a strong political force. Would Means consider environmentalists allies, or would he also lump them with the "Europeans" because he would regard their reliance on science as "despiritualization of the universe"
(If anyone else is interested, the speech is at https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/russell-means-for-america-to-live-europe-must-die )
Walmart is unashamedly reporting that it is observing how customers' use of prescription drugs affect how much they eat, as tracked by how much food they buy on the store
The U.S. needs real #privacy laws

@ntnsndr @activitypubblueskybridge Looking at it from a Mastodon client it looks like a Frendica group is indistinguishable from a Mastodon bot that automatically boosts every post that mentions it
It would be easy to hack together an actual Mastodon bot that acts like that
The hard part would getting the conversation going
Also hard would be scaling it so anyone could create such a "boost-my-mentions bot" for arbitrary topics. Doing so, you might just end up recreating Frendica
@markhughes @blake @snarfed.org I wish it were possible to avoid servers, but I don't think it is
I think you need servers involved in at least the initial connection setup
Most people's devices are behind gateways and don't have their own globally accessible IP address, so you cannot just reach out and connect to them
And then there is the key exchange problem. How do you set up a secure channel without a server-based key exchange protocol?
