Federal agencies report that a significant majority of new power capacity being built in the US in 2026 will be clean energy. Solar alone makes up 51% of this progress--fossil gas is the only fossil fuel to make it on the chart at only 7% of new power capacity.

“Messaging platform giant Discord has switched on end-to-end encrypted voice and video messaging for every user.

The end-to-end encryption feature means that Discord users can now communicate privately without anyone else being able to listen in to their calls, not even Discord.”

(This was days after meta pulled their end to end encryption on instagram)

“Discord launched the end-to-end encrypted voice and video calling feature in 2024, and on Monday rolled out the feature to every user, no action needed.”

Me through gritted teeth: do we need to put a two by four or something behind it to keep it from rolling all the way back to the wall if that is the issue

Engineer: why would we do that?

Well idk perhaps to avoid losing our ENTIRE INVENTORY OF FROZEN GOODS?

First off, this was probably the single biggest “I do that because of my ADD!?!!?” moment I’ve had since my diagnosis, but also, could my diagnosis please stop giving me excuses for being a bad friend? I need to be held accountable.

I joke. This actually work out very well with my more introverted friends who really like that they don’t have to feel bad for going no contact for weeks at a time. They know I’m not sad about it yet happy to spend time with them when they’re ready.
