The world is running headlong towards a long-term temperature rise of 2.8C based on present government policies, the latest UN report shows, with the US standing out among developed economies with sharply higher energy-related emissions.

Under President Donald Trump’s policies, a rebound in coal generation to meet increased US power demand drove the rise, after mainly trending down over the past decade. Emissions also rose in Indonesia and China, but were lower in India and the European Union.

The UN report confirmed that there was no longer any chance of preventing global warming of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, the lower limit enshrined in the 2015 Paris accord between almost 200 countries.

But it laid out a scenario in which the so-called overshoot above this level is minimised, and potentially reversed by the end of the century.

“We climate procrastinated and accordingly we are saying this window has closed, but we can open it again,” said Inger Andersen, executive director of the UN Environment Programme. “This is the only way we can get back to a semblance of a reality that is still largely manageable.”

Returning the temperature rise to below the 1.5C level would require emission cuts of 45 per cent by 2035, the report said. This goal is three times the 11 to 15 per cent of cuts in the same timeframe that are laid out in countries’ current national climate plans.

It would also require an increase in permanent CO₂ removals through techniques that faced significant “socio-economic and technological challenges”, the report noted.

Last year, global greenhouse gas emission declined by 0.1Gt compared with 2024, the latest data show, thanks in part to a slight decrease in emissions from wildfires at that time. The change was not sustained or significant enough to say that emissions have started a long-term decline or even reached a plateau.

Emissions from burning fossil fuels rose last year roughly at the same rate as they have over the past decade.

Following the US’s decision to quit the Paris Agreement, new national climate targets submitted since last year had a “near-zero” impact on expected emissions and warming, the UN said.

The planet was on track for 2.8C of warming based on present government policies, 2.7C if countries acted on unconditional policies in their latest climate plans, or 2.6C if those plans that were conditional on financial support were put into action.

The outlook under existing government policies was unchanged from the previous UN report but the temperature rise forecast based on conditional or unconditional plans had worsened.

More promisingly, the UN noted that renewable electricity capacity and the build-out of solar panels had grown much faster than was expected at the time of the Paris Agreement.

“Every year of delay makes the way back steeper,” said UN secretary-general António Guterres. “Overshoot is not surrender, we can still keep it small.”

That’s great, now donate to the hundreds of Palestinians who have gofundme’s just to afford a fucking tent.

1. That’s not piracy
2. I would never use generative AI for any reason

I currently have Torbox and Debridio as a scraper while using Nuvio on all my devices and that setup works pretty well. Debridio is a yearly sub and pretty cheap. Torbox has a tier structure for their subs but essential is good enough for most people.

Warning however, all of the things I just mentioned are vibecoded so getting support is quite egregious. AI bros tend to get pretty insecure when you bring up the idea of Claude having made a mistake, even innocently.

And aside from getting support, the discord servers of these services are some of the worst discord has to offer. Everyone worth asking anything in the Torbox server, for instance, are incredibly immature. Not to mention the flagrant bigotry.

Just understand the kinds of people you’re gonna be talking to. A lot of them have some pretty serious god complexes, and I’m not bringing this up out of nowhere I’ve been a customer in this scene for years. But most importantly, abandon the idea of loyalty here. Sticking with one service will likely only hurt you, as enshittification consumes quickly in this scene. Good luck.

I’m not gonna sing the praises of something creating so much waste. Learn how to code, actually contribute to these things. Cry harder.

The scary implications being that any asshole with a Claude subscription can create something really cool in concept, but will more than likely end up abandoned in a few months when they inevitably give up (because this entire scheme is inherently short sighted) and all that’s left is a codebase so machine generated that likely no human would waste the monumental effort it would take to make it human readable- or logical to begin with.

“AI is a tool”- correct, it is a tool to scam people, and this certainly isn’t evidence to the contrary of that.

Not really, Bethesda games are mainly PC games so the market for console is always gonna be smaller. Their console versions are always inferior, lacking updates or even just the amount of polish compared to their PC counterparts. I played some of my favourite Bethesda games on console first and I can attest that console players have always been sort of second-class citizens in terms of priority.

I think Bethesda hands console players a shittier deal and most people just have to put up with that because even in the times we live in now a console is still cheaper in up-front costs than a PC capable of performing the same games at the same level.

It would be sad seeing someone so deep in delusion if your delusion wasn’t so hateful. Anyway, I’ll forget about you in a month or so, bye.

TL;DR: This is impressive, however for me personally seeing cool Bethesda mods is so bittersweet at this point. Like imagine the kinds of things you could do if you put that effort into somewhere more appreciated. Idk.

I certainly don’t mean to insult anyone’s efforts, I imagine Bethesda games do offer some real value for budding game developers in the form of a very accessible entrypoint into modding and I think that’s great.

But what would be even better is if this company weren’t basically entirely surviving off the coat tails of their community of unpaid laborers. The only reason why these games are so moddable is because Bethesda as a company wouldn’t survive if they weren’t. The product being given by itself is so bad and Bethesda so inept that it compelled people to learn how to fix it themselves just to deliver on what could’ve been.

Bethesda basically sells you the idea of a game, delivers about 60% of it and then asks you to make up the difference. Anyone playing Skyrim or Fallout 4 could see how good those games could’ve been even with no prior game design knowledge, it’s just an innate feeling.

Holy shit, the headline that just keeps getting worse with each new word.

Ik it’s for clicks and solely in the headline but I must be a stickler about such things; Cracking may be hacking-adjacent but those two things are different. Hacking is infiltrating, cracking is manipulating, quite different if you ask me.

Considering Denuvo maintains a policy of non-refunds if their security is beaten, the seeming consistent defeat of its DRM threatens to make the entire product useless to video game publishers and developers, opening releases new and old to fresh vectors for piracy that they had paid to prevent.

This part is fucking hilarious though, especially considering I’ve heard Denuvo is quite expensive and they only keep increasing their licensing fees.

Although I’d be remiss not to mention the fact that Denuvo’s actual purpose is indeed to stall piracy, they know they can’t prevent it. Stop pirates from cracking their DRM for the most profitable few months of the game being out and I’d say most publishers are happy (even though that doesn’t make any sense outside of the deluded mind of a shareholder). In this, in most cases, they are successful. Irdeto did recently update Denuvo once again, but I say their days are numbered.

yes, and you could’ve said that without using a slur for and ethnically stereotyping Romany people.

Establishing direct democracy and abolishing borders is the only real end game but this is antithetical to America’s existence. Ending the uniparty is a bandaid, ending America is the solution.
