À Miquelon, la montée des eaux menace l’avenir d’un village. Face au changement climatique, il nous faut nous adapter. Nous relocalisons le village pour protéger ses habitants et permettre aux générations futures de continuer à vivre sur leur terre. Nous adapter, sans jamais nous résigner. Nous continuerons à œuvrer pour protéger les territoires menacés, réduire nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre et limiter le réchauffement. Malgré les crises qui bouleversent le monde, le climat doit rester le combat de notre siècle. Ce message essentiel, je le réaffirmerai aux Nations unies dès demain. Po… English, from French In Miquelon, rising waters threaten the future of a village. Faced with climate change, we must adapt. We are relocating the village to protect its inhabitants and allow future generations to continue living on their land. Adapting, without ever giving up. We will continue to work to protect threatened territories, reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and limit global warming. Despite the crises shaking the world, the climate must remain the fight of our century. I will reaffirm this essential message at the United Nations tomorrow. Po...

I think it is an exaggeration to compare rock art to "books". To suppose that this rock art image has a precise message encoded in little details, as writing would have, has no factual basis that I know of. Nonetheless, ancient rock art is precious, because it Related

I turn 50 today. This is a message to my kids but I offer it to you in case any of it rings useful. I was born in Sri Lanka in 1976 in a country that, at the time, was about to enter a decades long civil war. My father was able to get stationed at the Sri Lankan High Commission in Canada for four years in the early 80s - when some of the fighting was most severe - and which from our vantage point in Canada gave us some respite from an otherwise omnipresent conflict. He came as a diplomat but then my father filed for refugee status after four years when his life was threatened by militants. We… Related

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@clayton/117175171619298911 It's OK. This feature is awesome, and one I use heavily. Every social network needs a few mutes here and there. Nobody inherently deserves anyone’s attention. If someone replies in a way that makes me think, "I'd rather not hear from this person again,” I just mute forever. No aggressive block, no report or feedback, no way for them to know. It's not meant to send a message, get revenge, or influence anyone else — just tailor my feed for me. Related

It might have worked even better as two separate books, rather than as one short book trying to do two things. But Booth's writing is soothing, and his overall message — investing is simply a bet on human innovation and progress — is a truism worth repeating. Young people, in particular, might benefit from reading it.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
