yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•World passes 30% renewable electricity milestone for the first time, decline of fossil inevitableEnglish6·1 year ago30% its [sic] in the title
Right, but I don’t see anything in the title or the article itself about 30% being “sufficient.” To the contrary, the article quotes Sarah Brown, energy think tank Ember’s European program director:
The EU is “very much on the way” to its goal of having renewable sources account for 72 per cent of power generation by 2030.
This article is a celebration of a milestone that was crossed for the first time, no mention of 30% being sufficient. You’re assigning meaning that’s not there.

yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Republican US senators sent threatening letter to ICC prosecutor over possible Netanyahu arrest warrantEnglish47·1 year agoI read the article so you don’t have to.
Excerpt:
A group of 12 Republican US senators sent a letter to International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, threatening repercussions if the court issues arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials, according a Monday report from news organization Zeteo.
The senators allege that the ICC seeks to punish “legitimate actions of self-defense,” citing Khan’s report of the “calculated cruelty” he witnessed following the October 7 attack and making clear that they find “no moral equivalence between Hamas’s terrorism and Israel’s justified response.” They claimed that the arrest warrants “would align the ICC with the largest state sponsor of terrorism.”
The signatories declared they would take any warrant issued as “not only a threat to Israel’s sovereignty but to the sovereignty of the United States.” They threaten, “Target Israel and we will target you” and that any further action will “end all American support for the ICC” and “bar [Khan] and [his] families from the United States.” It ended: “You have been warned.”
The letter, dated April 24, 2024, was signed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky as well as Senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas; Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee; Katie Boyd Britt of Alabama; Ted Budd of North California; Kevin Cramer of North Dakota; Ted Cruz of Texas; Bill Hagerty of Tennessee; Pete Ricketts of Nebraska; Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida; and Tim Scott of South Carolina.
yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.mlOPtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Why can't I see a specific post in !caps@lemmy.world from lemmy.ml when the same post is visible on other instances? [SOLVED]English1·1 year agoI hadn’t thought of that, but after a quick investigation I don’t think it has to do with language settings for a couple reasons:
- The post in question is set to English, which I have selected in my Lemmy account settings (as well as Undefined).
- I see other “English” posts in the same community and other communities.
- I also see comments from this user in other posts in the same community; the comments are set to “English.”
Any other ideas? Could this be a technical glitch of some kind?

yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Deep-sea mining: Norway approves controversial practiceEnglish14·2 years agoRagebait title.
Excerpt from the article:
Marianne Sivertsen Næss, chair of The Standing Committee on Energy and the Environment, which considered the original plan, told the BBC that the Norwegian government was taking a “precautionary approach to mineral activities”.
She said: “We do not currently have the knowledge needed to extract minerals from the seabed in the manner required. The government’s proposal to open an area for activity enables private players to explore and acquire knowledge and data from the areas in question. Opening up areas is not the same as approving extraction of seabed minerals.”

Overall, we rate The Japan News Right-Center biased based on story selection that slightly favors the right. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

- Repeat offender, check.
- History of violence, check.
- No remorse, in fact he actively wants to do it again as soon as he’s able, check.
I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs, but unless and until a qualified medical professional personally guarantees he won’t regress, it would be downright irresponsible to allow this kid to continue doing what he does.
yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Teen GTA VI hacker sentenced to life in a secure hospitalEnglish614·2 years agoPerhaps for first offenses, in cases where the defendant seems remorseful, and/or they are unlikely to regress, sure. But in this case, the defendant checks none of these boxes. This kid sounds like the archetypical shit bag that plagues gaming communities far and wide. Goodbye and good riddance.

This whole situation is one big shit sandwich. On one hand, it’s like yeah maybe next time, think twice before you poke the bear. But then again even without the October 7th attacks, we have all these radical Israelis who believe it is their biblical duty to evict all Palestinians from greater Israel. Like wtf?
