China flooding the market with cheap EVs still makes the rich richer… Just different rich people in a different country.

Looks interesting, but I think a website would be better suited for this (so people can spontaneously play it without having to download anything). Please consider making one :)

I’m no expert so I don’t know what causes more damage, but the production of photovoltaic cells also is by no means environmentally friendly. People die, ecosystems get destroyed, …

And people argue that birds fly into wind generators and die, idk how much damage that is comparatively but probably the least. So from an environmental perspective, as a layman, I’d rank them wind > water > sun > non-renewables (nuclear > gas > coal).

But wind (and sun) always changes, so it’s impossible to only have wind (and sun). You need:

• Something stable that carries a large percentage (for example water in rivers or at the end of lakes (so basically at the start of a river)).

• Something flexible that can quickly be increased or decreased (for example pumped hydro storage power stations, bonus points there for also being able to use energy when there’s too much wind/sun; or non-renewables (burn more gas, get more electricity))

So even if we assume that wind and sun are better than water we still need either water or non-renewables. I’d say that’s an easy choice.

Sadly all power generation methods come at a cost. What would you suggest?

You can argue about how green it is, considering its impact on ecosystems, but how did they end at the conclusion that it’s not renewable?

In the text about Sodom and Gomorra the way I understand it God is punishing them for wanting to rape the angel or whoever it was who’s sleeping there. Not for it being a gay act when men rape a man.

It’s hard since it could theoretically also be an actual user who used that website themself.

It’s not like antisemitism prevented people from supporting the NSDAP (in many cases the opposite). Sure, when they were elected they didn’t know what to do with Jews yet, but antisemitism was one of the pillars of their philosophy (if the people are unhappy you have to take responsibility or simply point at someone and say “they are responsible, it’s their fault”) and antisemitism has existed since forever. (Of course there were not only Jews in concentration camps but they were initially made for them).

And sadly antisemitism still exists today in many areas of the world.

That’s fundamentally different from steel. We don’t really have an alternative currently. You could use something like aluminium but that’s not environmentally friendly either (in the initial production, for recycling it’s great).

Coal is required for steel, electricty-based heat would only work to lower carbon emissions (especially when recycling steel since you don’t need coal there), but you couldn’t prevent them.

I’ll assume they mean the countries that currently support Ukraine

Electric cars are the solution for individual movement, but not with lithium batteries and not with non-renewable power plants. Both of these will change at some point.

I completely understand that features come in their native language first but even such long-standing features like call screening aren’t available in any other language than English yet (also didn’t know it even worked outside the USA)

You might want to take a look at Aptera. If we’re lucky they’ll sell their first cars in 1-5 years

Many of these extra features are only available in the USA, and quite a few features only work well in English.

Anyway, my previous phone (Galaxy S8) was perfectly smooth until the very end. Of course loading times for larger programs are shorter now on my Pixel 7 but in the end it barely makes a difference (I’m not playing any ressource-heavy games). Not sure what you’re doing to get a modern Android to lag.

I agree that the extra apps aren’t necessary, but it’s good that there actually is some competition for Google and most of them can be uninstalled (or at least could be uninstalled on my S8). And they have some pretty good software, not everything is back (I really like their launcher and gallery). Bixby can also simply be disabled, and you can bind any action to the Bixby-button (Google assistant, opening an app, …).

But where Pixels actually are better is when it comes to the camera (or rather camera software), their photos currently are the best ones (by phone cameras) on the market (yes, I’m including Apple here) (of course Apple and Samsung aren’t far behind (at a much higher price), but it’s incredibly impressive what the Pixel base and A models can do at a much lower price). Their photo editing AI (or rather their chip for it) also still is better than Samsung’s.

Good quality but still overpriced. You pay for the brand name.

Mistral AI currently. They’re just a minority currently but I doubt it’ll stay that way.

Sadly both of these don’t work well when adding 3+ languages. I love typing by swiping but it worked so much better before I installed more languages.

Really hoping they’ll fix that one day.

ublock origin blocks all ads for me and in my internet searches I usually add keywords like “stackoverflow” or “reddit” or “wikipedia” or whatever else I need

Anyway your point also exists for macOS and linux
