The problem is that if a country treats money as unlimited and without a cost then inflation will mirror that and people in that country will lose their savings, their job will not pay for their bills anymore and so on

It’s not as simple as “just spend more”…

The problem is that “both” isn’t a valid option unless a country has unlimited finances.

Otherwise you have to decide on what’s the most feasible option and then renewables win big time

I sometimes feel as if the current push for atomic is from the fossil-lobby as they are aware that it either works and they get 10-20 more years to sell oil until the reactors are built - and even if it doesn’t work out it still will slow down rollout of renewables

If you have 100 billion to spend on energy producing you have to choose if you want to go all-in with one source or split it up which would move the end of fossil fuels Back further

Not to mention having to buy the radioactive materials from dictatorships and having problems to cool down the reactors with rising temperatures and rivers running dry

I just don’t see how atomic isn’t a huge gamble that can backfire hard (and I’m not even talking about catastrophic events like Fukushima)

And still some see the US constitution as this pinnacle of democracy when it’s vastly outdated by now

Even the founding fathers anticipated a lot of reforms and for the whole thing to become obsolete quite soon but yet here we are with people worshipping them as this infallible being and weighting their words on a scale as if it’s impossible for them to be wrong

What would swapping servers achieve?

Centrists are just right wing but too embarrassed to admit to it.

So no USP any more?

SEO is wrong - it’s like an arms race where the shittiest party spending the most wins and every one else needs to play by the rules to even exist.

The world would be better off if noone did it in the first place and search engines could just do the job they intended to do.

Google totally went to shit in the last years with their first page often full of websites great at SEO but horrible in whatever you were actually looking for.

Meanwhile the little ultra-specific forum that had a thread years ago about your specific search and no money for SEO is somewhere on page 5 while websites just repeating the search phrase over and over with no answer in sight are at the top.

That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person

Every serious car manufacturer has a backup power source in case something happens (there can always be a bad storm or an accident)

The fact that one burning mast was enough to completely shut down the Tesla factory in Germany just shows how much of their success is just ignoring very realistic risks and then pointing fingers at someone else if stuff happens

Yeah - was about to do that

I think EU regulations for food and border-free movement between countries are the two most valuable EU advantages by far

One of the biggest fake-meat producers in Germany was a very big, purely meat-production company 20 years ago

Now they make more money with replacements than with their meat-production just because people kept buying it.

If enough people vote with their money it totally has an effect

Also: politicians will only implement hard measures if a big part of the population is already undoubtedly behind them.

They won’t severely limit meat unless a big part is already vegetarian - they won’t ban short range flights unless most people are choosing trains and busses over them already.

They won’t take away space from cars to bikes unless people are already taking their bike and showing the problem to everyone

Sure the whole thing about personal responsibility and the co2 footprint is intended to discourage change - but unless we start a grassroots movement including personal responsibility change won’t happen, too

At least here in Germany everyone is selling drinks (beer as well as Softdrinks) from the tap in cups with usually 1 or 2 euros as a deposit so people don’t throw them to the ground and create a hazard

Often the cups are also branded from the band so I collected a couple over the years

Which concert doesn’t sell drinks in (reusable) cups?

And for festivals I still will go with some 5L canisters full of water over a lot of cans

If Epic could actually provide a better service, they would be seeing customers and developers actually want to use their platform.

Doubt

Gog is objectively giving you more value for your money but even cdpr had to release the Gwent standalone on steam eventually because people didn’t buy it enough - once it was on steam it sold more than in a year on gog in weeks

People don’t look at the alternatives at all - unless it’s a AAA game with an exclusive deal

I get updates every other week

but I think it’s in a weird spot with not having regular English patchnotes - and afaik they also use an older rendering-engine

Vivaldi is the best!

Currently trying out Floorp as a Firefox fork for the possibility that Google’s disabling of adblockers in the manifest will make it impossible to use chromium browsers which is kind of good, too

But Vivaldi rules as long as chromium is an option!

Someone desperately wanted to make a negative headline…

So what? I don’t know the artist, her fans probably where there to hear that song, terrorists don’t deserve to keep influencing the future happiness of people with their actions…

Those are just insignificant compared to Google so noone is even trying to game them.

That’s actually one of the reasons why I use kagi but saying that they figured it out is just wrong

RIP in peace

She only threatened legal action after those memes started and when her flight movements got the attention of the right in an attempt to make her less credible of a voice speaking out against trump.

And knowing how batshit insane trump cultists can be and how she’s basically the single most hated person of his base I’m not surprised that she feared for her security.

Those records were public for years but the legal action only happened after someone created those memes and even fox news suddenly cared about plane emissions…
