Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/08/2026My concern is about shifting focus from absolute reduction to relative offset . It's a well recognized issue known as mitigation deterrence. I strongly dislike media framing carbon capture as a primary fix because it allows fossil fuel entities to justify delaying structural decarbonization 010
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Direct air capture of co2 as a means to solve global warming is a pipe dream because it's extremely energy intensive. Powering 80000 facilities would require more clean electricity that the entire world currently produces. 1110
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/08/2026A few days ago, it was announced that the largest direct air capture plant in the world, situated in Texas , will be able to capture half a million metric tons of co2 per year. Human activity generates roughly 40 billion metric tons of co2 annually. That means that 80000 such facilities are needed 5100

Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 02/08/2026So it's been a minute . As expected, the world keeps getting warmer , stranger andmore cynical . Algorithms are relentlessly pushing for the disconnect from reality straight to any form of escapism as wildfires around the world are burning ruthlessly. What a great Sunday morning! 0210
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Last days of January. The tech bros are preaching their AI prosperity gospel 24/7.Arts becoming an escape to triviallity as artists make doomscrolling their culture.A sinking feeling that fascism being a career choice is here to stay. Spreading globally like cancer. Nothing personal,nothing private. 0243
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Anyone noticed this sort of a disease that rich people get. The mild symptoms become more intense the richer they get . The more money they have, the more offended they become when someone is getting a handout dollar they don't get. I think it's contagious. 0372
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Times flies! A new year has come. We're all witnessing the rise of artificial stupidity (following the steps of our natural one). As I take a few sips of my coffee this winter morning, let us all remember that their end goal is to take our money, our data , our privacy, and pay rent for everything. 0272
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Sundays. Yet another day where everybody's feeding the plagiarism machines. 0280
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 26/09/2025One's pain is the evening's doomscrolled gossip of another. Oh, and remember that everything is pretty much for sale. 0251
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Morning everyone. This is a reminder that right-wing and fossil fuel propaganda is alive and, in fact, thriving worldwide. Raise awareness! 0233
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025In a world full of distrust , misinformation, division, we are losing an existential war due to massive media under reporting , the echo chamber effect in social media as well as all the virtue signaling back and forth between groups too blind to see the destruction of their kids' future. 0130
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 17/09/20259 years ago, the Paris agreement came into force with a goal to limit the median global temperature rise to below 2 degrees C, preferably to 1.5C It has been a total failure of political initiative, as not even 10 years later, it's obvious that we have (unofficially) crossed the 1.5C limit. 030
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025The Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment just published a study that shows how climate change affects excess mortality in Europe. The results are devastating. The study found climate change is responsible for 68% of the 24400 heat deaths this past summer across European cities 3181
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Random thought. We willingly let work take over everything that we do. And the deadliest poison for our lives are all the times we do it unwillingly. 1232
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 16/09/2025The only artists I know who use AI in any capacity with absolutely no disclosure at all, are con artists 0273
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 16/09/2025I wanna start the day with some positivity today . So here's a few shots from the Greek south , a couple of weeks ago. 2661
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 15/09/2025We are being trained to trust the invisible, all-knowing middleman. Chat GPT , Grok , Copilot , Gemini. 1141
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Exercise caution when using AI as an absolute for information validation. It's like trusting a spokesperson outside a library who can tell you anything you want,as long as it's approved by their boss. The greater the distance between you and the information,the easier it's manipulated or distorted 1301
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Elon doesn't miss a chance. I'm reading that he took part in the far right rally in London. It seems the far right rallies in Germany half a year ago weren't enough for him . He called for the dissolution of the parliament. I guess he's gonna keep popping up in far right gatherings like a superhero 4180
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025A beautiful sunny Sunday morning where Greece is producing over 80% of its power from renewable sources. Cleaner air to breathe and cheaper electricity prices for everyone! If Greece can do it , imagine what the rest of the world can. This is a reminder that fossil fuels are a dead end. 1507
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Europe is decarbonizing and heavily investing in renewable energy , while USA is actively backpedaling. Europe has stricter emissions regulations , you actually breathe cleaner air . Same goes with food additives etc . 231
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025I respectfully disagree. Both the health and educational systems of most EU Members are untouchable by the predominantly for profit American systems . Europe offers way tighter regulation on how personal data are used by data brokers. Europe has way stricter consumer protections 100
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Not that Europe doesn't have its major issues, but im quite positive America has gone completely insane. I just read that Fox News advocated killing the homeless??!! Is this a videogame? what? 8502
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 13/09/2025It's terryfing how many people in power are actually incredibly stupid. Remember, people in power amplify division to gain more money. It seems it has become a law of the universe. 2451
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/09/2025I don't know who, but apparently, someone in the EU parliament asked for a minute's silence to remember Charlie Kirk . Of course, it was denied. Good . Why the hell would EU parliament members honor in any way a right-wing influencer ? 4596
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Videoart. The capacity to experience . In the dead silence. In complete darkness. The observer . You . 0290
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/09/2025I will not attempt to hypothesize or draw any conclusions of the intentions of who shot him . But this guy didn't just have opinions. He was a talented speaker and used his smarts ,as well as every logical trick and fallacy in the book, to promote division. His playbook is very common. 110
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/09/2025What happened to this guy reminded me of these two concepts from ancient Greek myth . Hubris and nemesis. 0242
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/09/2025So , a young guy who built a career on bigotry, racism, division , anger,a man who publicly stated that certain groups of people should be stoned , that women are not owners of their bodily functions, and that collaterals are OK as long as people keep their guns , was killed by someone with a gun 3463
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Early morning thoughts. Big corporations like Google,Meta,X , Volkswagen, Apple, BMW, and Samsung often experiment with anti-consumer tactics and then claim its accidental when they weigh up the cost and negative PR. 1161
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 10/09/2025You got this amazing ability to step outside your own thoughts and observe them. Most people identify in totality with their mental chatter, but when you manage to observe your thoughts and emotions with a bit of detachment, their grip on you is reduced, and you create space for conscious choice. 0170
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Influencers and content creators are the “laugh track of the 21st century. Like an old FRIENDS episode where you hear the audience laugh and you think ,oh, this is the funny part . It seems that people only know how to experience things by watching other people experience things . 3280
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Sunday is a good day for visual experimentations using more traditional means and materials. Here's a mixed media abstract geometric composition. Sunday's Pop Art #abstract #art #mixedmedia 01053
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 08/07/2025A framed abstract photography collage. Intentional camera movement shots , blurry, long exposure shots of city lights layered into a night cityscape abstraction. #photography #collage #abstract #art #icm 1975
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 04/07/2025Still the private facetime call is not private . And it's a slippery slope. Not to mention the reputation apple's ai has of not being that great. 030
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 04/07/2025I'm doing some catching up on tech news . Just saw that Apple will begin terminating your FaceTime call if it detects nudity. So I gotta ask . How does apple now? I mean , your private video calls aren't private at all , right ? It means that Apple checks what the cellphone camera sees, right? 4493
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 04/07/2025These are some powerful reflections. The modern world of consumerism pretty much forbids people from thinking these thoughts. 120
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 04/07/2025It's a reminder that after you climb high enough into the corporate ladder, you stop pretending, and you're free to be just plain evil 1240
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 04/07/2025So I've read that Microsoft laid off 9000 employees and then a Microsoft head guy told these people to use AI to feel better. WHAT? So, thousands of people lose their jobs. This causes instant financial and mental struggle. And this piece of shit finds it appropriate to advertise/push AI this way 2350
Nik dedidis @nikdedidis.bsky.social · 04/07/2025July! Black and white nature perspectives in times when everyone's screaming at your face that the world is either black or white. But we know it isn't, don't we. 2683
