The bad news about the good news about the bad news. As always, in a time where far too many are certain of what we know about #Climate + #ExtremeWeather,, @98cee6fe is here to keep us straight

I'm looking for a good privacy focused AI assistant to help me sort through classify + organise the around 50,000 photos and videos that I have lying around on hard drives and in the cloud. I don't trust google and don't want to upload to any old website - though I also use #flickr -any good suggestions?
#AskFedi Does not have to be #FOSS, also prepared to pay for good tool that is also private!
PSA:
Its Danish #Flu + #COVID19 vaccination season again. Last year the entire family got flu except me, and it ruined our Christmas. I had the jab and #VaccinesWork.
Here is the Danish page on who, how and where to get your #FluJab and #COVIDvaccines this year.

@Luca Sironi Yes. Eventually, when I get time... I automatically post everything to masto from there anyway, and I don't really post that often I'm afraid. I need to spend some itme completely redoing it really as the formatting is also very old now, but it's not really my highest priority as I'm rather busy at work just now.
En forskningsbase i #Antarktis opdagede hullet i #ozonlaget og spiller en afgørende rolle for vores viden om #klimaforandringer. Nu bliver forskere og penge fjernet fra den ukrainske base og brugt i krigen mod russerne.

Sadly author Morten D. D. Hansen suggests that while we can probably "save the bees" (he means wild + solitary bees, not Apis mellifera), we probably can't save all Danish butterflies whose numbers have plunged 75% in 30 years; depredations of agriculture leading to fragmented habitat, nitrogen pollution wiping out heathland species and then the final death blow of the #ClimateChange fuelled drought of the terrible summer of 2018.
We fight on.

Yes, it's a long train ride, but I have commented on 2 reports, cleared a week's worth of emails and now I'm going to enjoy a delicious vegetable Bolognese with a fine beer and read my book in the @ec308df7 while speeding through northern Germany at 200km/hr.
Later I will review a paper.

@c42594b2@08442cdc i am already much less craving cheese than I was. Pizza turns out to be quite delicious without it for example. But occasionally I do miss it...
" While some level of adaptation is absolutely required — climate change is, unfortunately, here to stay — the notion that it should be our front-line response is flawed at its core. Relying on adaptation as a primary strategy is a recipe for widespread misery and conflict."
Good piece from @688df97a on the #ClimateBrink substack on #ClimateAdaptation, but appalling examples of cruelty + brazen extortion.
How does a political system get into this state though?

@08442cdc Yes I definitely think that's an element of it! 3 years ago I couldn't imagine having non-dairy milk in my tea, but now I can't stand the stuff and would much rather drink it with soya and/or oat or eve black, than have to put cow milk in...
Maybe I should try practicing with Violife?
Not a great start to this afternoon's #CrossBorderRail trip back from Utrecht to #CPH, but at least the #Bahn give us plenty of notice, I am on an earlier train to Amersfoort and hope to make the connection.
Would be nice if #DB could be slightly less melodramatic in warnings, but perhaps they need to be to get people to take them seriously... ?

@c0b8abfd@5bb3243a great post! It's a good question though what would happen today? Would people still cluster on twitter for those kind of debates? Would they even come here? I don't know. #Climatetwitter seems to still be a little bit alive there, some action on bsky and a bit here. It's fragmented and we rarely get the rich conversations going we had a few years ago (the rot had set in well before Musk for climate IMO)
Apparently someone at KU has developed a #PlantBased #Vegan cheese that really tastes like cow milk based cheese.
For me as a fairly new vegan, this is the *absolute* holy grail.
There are many #FakeCheese options out there and they are all revolting.
I make a mean cashew nut spreadable version but a proper cheese is still something I miss from my lactovegetarian days .
Wonder who I can ask for a taste test.. ?
(And if it's really good I'll be buying shares.)

The whole thread is worth reading, but the discussion below about #SeaIce datasets and #Osisaf is very interesting for those of us who run and/or use #CimateModels for the #Arctic....

I am.currently reading Morten D.D. Hansen's fantastic book (alas only available in Danish) #InsekternesBog - partly inspired by Dave Goulson's similar pæon to #Insects and it's absolutely wonderful.
And I absolutely also endorse what @5bafa990 says here...

@b9053a6d@e62899bd@Sterna Paradisaea indeed.. I think it would have been miraculous if there hadn't been any broken dikes given the storm but it sounds like mostly minor ones and they have been able to move people to safer places. But yeah, we're now getting close to forecast maximum..
what are your favourite "introduction to" posts?
I'm especially thinking of helping #ScienceMastodon here, but could be generally applicable.
It's clear that many people just dip a toe in, don't really get it and leave, would love to help them stick around a bit..
🙏 in advance

@b18e644d@e6ac5598 yeah I know. This is one of the problems.of writing "quick start" guides though. I don't want it to sound tok complicated. Because it's more important to get people up and running
@c71d8f02@78860831 the decline in temperature and precip from 1925 to 54 seems pretty clear (unless I'm misinterpreting something?), is that PDO or something else?
@291272f9 it's mostly wind driven in this event though, but yeah, it's interesting how much local variation here is in maximum heights and times..gives an idea how difficult it it to do this stuff. (don't think I'm giving anything away if I say the guy who made DMIs storm surge model can play 5 games of simultaneous chess without looking. As a party trick...😳)
The tools have changed, or rather been augmented with advanced statistical techniques (let's not call it #AI, but #MachineLearning is probably ok). At this meeting ML has been applied to everything from satellite data to climate model parameterisations and old logbook data.
