Which companies did they divest from? What are their returns for the fund?

Where do you get this? It makes sense if you provide a source for your bold statements.

Analysis like these only hurt the fediverse

Instances like lemmygrad.ml hurt the Fediverse. “Their support can extend beyond backing these authoritarian regimes, even cheering on their violent actions, as evidenced by their posts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, we observe anti-Zionist and antisemitic behaviors, which show similarities to right-wing extremism.”

Aside from some grad and bear communities which are known “cheering on violence”, there are many other comms here in Lemmy whose admins and mods support this anti-democratic stance, although with a softer approach. It is them that hurt the Fediverse as this is also a major reason imo why the Lemmy still remains a small niche product.

Note: only the ones that are doing poorly

Where do you get this? Your statement has nothing to do with the article.

Austrian company Voestalpine produces the world’s first hydrogen-based rail, setting new standards in steel production

Hydrogen-based steel production uses—ideally green—hydrogen from renewable energy sources to separate oxygen from iron ore. Unlike conventional methods, this process does not generate CO2, only water vapor as a byproduct. The hydrogen-reduced pure iron was produced in the HYFOR pilot plant, and the melt was carried out in the company’s proprietary research facility Technikum Metallurgie (TechMet), a one-of-a-kind miniature full-scale steelwork.

Addition:

You maybe interested in the Green Steel Tracker: It show which low-carbon projects have been announced in the steel industry, and aims to support decision makers in policy and industry, academia as well as civil society, by tracking public announcements of low-carbon investments in the steel industry and presenting them transparently in one place.

Regarding the number of project for green steel that are already announced, South Korea’s Posco, Luxembourg-based Arcelor Mittal, India’s Tata, Germany’s Thyssen Krupp, and Sweden’s SSAB are leading the way among the large steel conglomerates.

There is also a good overview for the global green cement market by market research group Precedence Research. It list 8 keyplayers: Mexico’s CEMEX S.A.B., Japan’s Taiheiyo Cement Corporation, the two Chinese companies Anhui Conch Cement and China National Building Material, Brazil’s Votorantim cimentos S.A., the two Indian companies UltraTech Cement Ltd. and ACC Limited., Switzerland’s LafargeHolcim, Germany’s Heidelberg Cement AG, and the Taiwan Cement Corporation.

But the researchers list a lot of very good projects from companies around the globe.

The entire EU-US ‘agreement’ is non-legal binding, not just the spending volume. This has been communicated on the Commission website right after the meeting between von der Leyen and Trump. The so-called ‘deal’ is a string of vague statements ("The United States and the European Union intend to work together to address non-tariff barriers affecting trade in food and agricultural products” - they “intend to work together”, so they agree to negotiate further).

The only point where the EU has given in was to eliminate its tariffs on U.S. industrial goods, but these tariffs for non-agricultural products have been around 1%, so that’s not really a game changer in EU-US trade.

Not sure what the average Russian thinks, but it’s certainly an attempt by the Kremlin to create a narrative that can then serve as a justification for the next invasion as others have already said in this thread.

In a weird move of late to distort reality, Belarus self-proclaimed leader Aliaksandr Lukashenko said in a recent interview that Russia did not invade Ukraine, but only “came in making a detour while returning home from exercises”.

In particular, Alexander Lukashenko presented a new version of the events of February 2022, stating that at that time a large-scale joint military exercise with Russia was held in Belarus. According to him, the manoeuvres were held in the south of the country, at Brest and Baranovichi firing ranges, after which the withdrawal of Russian troops began through Homel and southern regions of Belarus, mainly by rail. Lukashenko claims that at some point the columns turned south and entered Ukraine, travelling along the Leningrad-Odessa highway.

He specified that they were talking about the units of the Eastern Military District of the Russian Federation, which had arrived from eastern Russia. At the same time, Lukashenko, when asked why the Russian troops were moving home through Kiev, said that this should be asked to Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky. He stressed that he was not privy to the details of possible military plans […]

According to Lukashenko, he had a conversation with Putin when Russian troops were in Kiev. Putin told him that the Ukrainian military allegedly “hid in kindergartens and schools,” and therefore he would not strike those facilities. Lukashenko noted that Putin ordered the withdrawal of troops, believing promises of a quick end to the war, but the fighting continued.

Parliamentary committee labels China ‘flagrant’ perpetrator of transnational repression on UK soil

China is among the worst perpetrators of transnational repression in the United Kingdom, increasingly persecuting dissidents who have sought refuge in the country, according to the U.K. Joint Committee on Human Rights …

“The UK should be a place of sanctuary and safety, however we are concerned that there is a growth of foreign repression on UK soil that is going unchecked,” Lord David Alton, who chairs the committee, said in a statement …

The builders of Lemmy are not just critics of Western imperialism, but also of democracy, freedom of speech, human rights, and a lot of other related values. They have very questionable and derailed views. These views have been the reason why they got banned at Reddit, which was essentially the reason why they built Lemmy as we know.

As an addition, one among many details what happens in Crimea to the Indigenous Peoples of Ukraine since Russia’s invasion 2014:

The Foreign Ministry {of Ukraine] emphasized that Crimean Tatars are subjected to mass repression, including arrests, torture, politically motivated sentences, the ongoing ban on the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, restrictions on the right to use their native language, and searches in schools, mosques, and homes.

The Karaites and Krymchaks, small but unique Indigenous Peoples, are virtually disappearing from the cultural space of the occupied peninsula, the Ministry noted.

Just this week, a ‘court’ in Russian-occupied Crimea found 42-year-old Victoria Strilets and her 24-year-old daughter Oleksandr Strilets ‘guilty’ of treason in a sham trial, under Article 175 of Russia’s criminal code, and sentenced each of the women to twelve years in a medium-security prison colony, to be followed by a year of restricted liberty.

Although the ‘trial’ was held behind closed doors, Crimean Process notes its blitzkrieg nature, with this very likely pointing to pressure having been brought to bear on the two women. The ‘court hearing’ took place in the afternoon of 22 June, with the sentence passed within five hours of the next hearing, on 5 August. The human rights monitors noted that nine hours could not possibly be sufficient time to study the material concerning such grave charges.

I wouldn’t be surprised of a lot of things, but this is irrelevant. This is a clickbait headline that comes out of nothing as the article doesn’t even mention an anonymous source for this, it just supports OP’s favorite outcome and narrative.

To provide a broader picture to this headline:

Gas-fired generation accounts for 15-20% of European generation output, depending on weather conditions, while solar & wind makes up almost 30% of European supply, with a higher % contribution in many larger power markets.

In China, the gas sector lobbies heavily for the central government in Beijing to increase the number of power plants that run on gas to boost faltering demand. China’s gas demand has slowed due to weaker industrial activity, booming renewable-energy supply, and a continued reliance on coal, but analysts expect gas demand to increase in the near future if and when China’s economy finds its way back to growth.

The Chinese government has been working on increasing the share of natural gas in the energy mix due to its cleaner nature compared to coal, but there is still a significant gap between domestic production and demand, and China is still by far the world’s largest coal power. Just in June 2025, for example, The Chinese group CHN Energy has started the installation of China’s largest gas turbine in Eastern China.

I guess it is not hard to guess what role fossil fuels will play in the energy mix of Trump’s US.

Another headline accompanied by a few lines that don’t confirm the title. All the article says is that “the White House dismissed the story as speculation” and “a Kremlin spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.”

There’s not even a source mentioned for the claim. But the propaganda goes on.

… crime “fell in 2024 across every category and population group” [and] “was down in all seven categories of crime across all 10 population groups”

… both violent crime and property crime are at their lowest level since the 1960s

… [But] media coverage of crime is not proportionate to actual crime trends. Local news is predominantly filled with crime coverage, and “local stations manipulate crime and violence as a marketing strategy,” according to a report by the Sentencing Project. Studies have estimated that local news coverage “devote[s] one-third to one-fourth of their airtime to crime stories.” Local news also “concentrate[s] on uncommon but sensational incidents of violence.”

… Politicians often utilize crime as a talking point, leading the media to cover crime more frequently. A 2022 analysis by Bloomberg found that, after New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who made crime a major point of his campaign, was elected, coverage of crime in New York City increased dramatically.

The EU should ban all non-European services in its critical infrastructure, not only those from the U.S. Spain’s latest move to contract China’s Huawei for its wiretap system is unacceptable and bears an even greater risk.

A report on a similar incident reads:

… In recent weeks, other migrants have also been targeted, often following false claims spread online. Earlier this month on 1 July, an Afghan man who is seeking asylum from the Irish State was attacked in the Parnell Street area of Limerick city a day after false accusations were made about him approaching children in a video posted on social media.

Gardaí [the national police and security service of the Republic of Ireland] described the claims as “misinformation and disinformation.”

In another case last year, Nigerian architect Onyema Udeze was attacked in Dublin after being falsely accused of rape … Gardaí said the allegations were unfounded, but they again gained considerable traction online.

Mr. Udeze’s case has been reported last year, saying:

The [false and unfounded] claims about Mr Udeze were amplified and spread online fits into a trend in how racist and anti-migrant networks operate, according to Niamh McDonald of Hope and Courage Collective.

“For years we’ve seen a direct link between the disinformation that happens online and the generation of fear and increasing division of violence in our communities, whether that be directed towards people seeking asylum, people from maybe the Muslim community and also the LGBTQI community,” Ms McDonald told Prime Time.

In Ireland, the people behind circulating and amplifying such content are often a small but highly-networked minority, Ms McDonald said.

The rate earths even have a website :-)

It is noteworthy that unlike proprietary solutions, EUSP’s index will be available to other independent search engines and technology companies.

• Both organizations have historically relied on Microsoft’s Bing platform – with Ecosia switching to a mix of Google and Bing search results last year.
• Headed by Qwant CEO Olivier Abecassis, European Search Perspective aims to build digital sovereignty within Europe and ensure the continent has a strong, independent alternative to existing search technologies.
• The venture will aim to improve user search experience – delivering tailored hits and a stronger search product for Europeans.

I don’t know what the chat control has to do with this. (And that aside, it won’t come as it didn’t in the past, although I am sure they try it again after the Denmark presidency has failed. It’s a constant fight not to become like dystopian dictatorship.)

@LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net

Thank you for the reminder. I am sure you’d find a lot of independent reports on this ‘election’ they had last year.
