OPEN-100 is open-sourcing the engineering behind the most successful historical #nuclear energy deployments, offering the world an affordable alternative to fossil fuels. https://www.open-100.com/
"chains of glycine and hydroxy-glycine residues terminated by iron atoms, with additional oxygen and lithium atoms (...) The molecule is tipped by an iron-oxygen-iron grouping that in other terrestrial contexts has been proposed to be capable of absorbing photons and splitting water into hydroxyl and hydrogen moieties"

If you want simple crash reporting functionality for your android app consider using #tracedroid by ligi.
https://github.com/ligi/tracedroid
Crash reports are super useful, if only for being able to see the stacktraces of my own apps without connecting to a computer.
Tracedroid is super simple (~100 LOC or so), requires 2 lines of code to set it up in your app and yet it has a number of benefits over a lot of the far more complex libraries (at least for my usecases.)
When you run an android phone with an unlocked bootloader one of your main security concerns has to be physical device security.
Even while your data is encrypted, on Android your OS is not and therefore someone with physical access to your device can trivially inject malware that runs with system permissions.
Same is true for the kernel of your notebook and desktop computer when it doesn't run "secureboot" or a comparable security measure.
I've been researching / documenting devices that support verified boot with alternative operating system. Also operating systems that implement this.
Its looking like #Oneplus & Google may be the only vendors to offer support on all their devices

The conservationists organisations seem to have just as little clue as Greens either: "solar panels, biogas and geothermal energy, and are open to keeping more efficient coal power plants". Fortunately, Germany's emissions are fraction of global, otherwise we'd be doomed π€¦ββοΈ
Germany's #Energiewende getting the taste of its own medicine: land organisations fight on-shore wind farms, effectively delaying or blocking new investments. Logically, Greens should now argue wind energy "takes too long and is too expensive"... https://www.politico.eu/article/an-ill-wind-blows-for-the-onshore-power-industry/
Congratulations, #greenpeace !
"National grid operator RTE said last week it did not expect the closure of both Fessenheim units this year to impact the security of France's energy supply, despite the delay in commissioning the Flamanville EPR.
"This closure is offset by the commissioning of the combined cycle gas plant in Landivisiau"
"Whereas in the mid-1990s low and middle income households could afford a first time buyer deposit after saving for around 3 years, today it takes the same households 20 years to save for a deposit." https://evonomics.com/unproductive-rent-housing-macfarlane/
