Sure you can, why though?

Seems like the usual person / bot who used to post these garbage articles got blocked by too many people and saw their votes decrease, so they made a new account.

We haven't opened up any coal plants in the last 10 years. Only have been closing them down consistently. Go somewhere else with your populist misinformation please.

Edit: also, I've been to Chile. 20 million inhabitants (1/4 of Germany) Is hardly "tiny". And on all those endless bus rides through the Andes and vast windy places, I've maybe seen 10 wind turbines total. Similar for solar. Electric vehicles and corresponding infrastructure basically don't exist. So kindly don't shit on a country that actually conducts meaningful changes while elevating your own, which evidently does much less.

The more important meaning in this context, imo, is the first one. Unlike solar, wind, hydroelectric power etc., nuclear energy is fossil in the sense that it uses a finite resource which cannot be replenished.

vintageballs , (edited )

The reason for not reopening nuclear power plants is not "irrational fear", although that might be the reason for closing them in the first place, depending on your point of view. Reopening them is plain impossible in a realistic timeframe. Since the closure was something that had been decided many years ago, all of the plants that have been closed already are past their service limit and would have to be renovated / serviced before reactivating them, which is a lengthy process (5+ years). Additionally, some plants that were still open actually were used past their safety limits solely because Russia started a war and reduced our access to natural gas, which was meant to be a kind of intermediary (I know, far from ideal), but there is no feasible way of extending their use any further.

In any case, we are not building more fossil capacity. The only kind of power generation that is being built up is renewable. Nuclear is no renewable source, the fuel is finite. Also, I wonder: what is Chile planning to do with their spent fuel rods? They are proving to be quite the problem for us, Google "Endlager Asse" for some sobering information.

The expansion of coal mines is heavily contested here, we had lengthy and sometimes violent protests at the sites which were unfortunately quelled by police. Again, though - no coal plants were opened or even reopened. All of our coal plants have their end of life decided already and will be closed within the next few years.

I don't know your linked sources (never heard of the site) and am not in the mood for checking their correctness or comparability, so I'm not going to argue about them.

But, pretending that my country matters that much more regarding our emissions is a little dishonest. As a country, we make up less than 2% of Global emissions, with that figure shrinking rapidly (as your sources confirm, we are reducing per-capita and also total emissions year by year). I agree that saving the world from climate change depends on collective action, but kindly shit on countries that don't take said action and have a much larger impact on the planet (especially per capita), like, say, China, which has been building quite the amount of coal plants in the last few years or the US, which has insane per capita emissions and heavy opposition to any green technology.

Well this discovery is about super capacitors and not batteries.

vintageballs ,

Immich all the way. It is very similar to Google photos in terms of UI and features and is being actively developed. You can create shared albums with unlimited contributors and also share an album by its link.

I have used Nextcloud before, but the feature set (even of the memories addon, which is supposed to be better than the default photos app) is severely lacking and Nextcloud is incredibly slow compared to immich.

vintageballs ,

Yes, I've been using them extensively. AFAIK you can't change a private album to shared, but have to create it as a shared album from the beginning.

‘Exterminate the beasts’: How Israeli settlers took revenge for a murder in the West Bank ( www.bbc.com )

What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.

This account keeps spamming low quality articles by "newsline paper", seems like an ad campaign to me.

Seems AI generated.

I'm not the first person to note this:

Slightly off-topic, but what happened to the left astronaut in the picture? Looks like he hasn't slept in a month

I am not advocating for the "alternatives" (i.e. Instagram and the likes), however I think banning a Chinese PSYOP indoctrinating a whole generation with far-right ideas can only be positive for society. Hopefully the EU does something similar.

Is osmand normally terrible?

I just tried osmand. It took forever to locate me and then the map would freeze for minutes, then the blue arrow would finally jump to my location. It seems useless for real time navigation, is that normal? Google maps works fine on the phone (Android) so it's not the hardware. Is there maybe some setting I haven't found?...

vintageballs ,

Not a solution, just a suggestion: in my experience, Organic Maps is the far superior Open Street Maps navigation application on Android.

Ab die Person, die das downvoted:
Stört dich der Bot an sich? Oder die Lösung mittels removepaywall? Verbesserungs- / Änderungswünsche?

vintageballs ,

Theoretisch sucht der Bot auf Archiven, aber aktuell nur archive.org, weil .today / .is / ... früher Probleme gemacht haben. Gucke die Tage nochmal, ob das jetzt stabil ist, dann füge ich die wieder hinzu.

Just gotta block lemmygrad and about half of lemmy.ml

does anyone have "smart glasses"? are there any that are discreet and cannot be heard by others near you?

I was looking at "spy earbuds" but they just don't seem too practical, even the real expensive ones I found are still disposable batteries only and I just don't wanna drop that kind of money. I do however wear glasses and looking online I see they average about $30 for a pair of bluetooth enabled ones. My only question is, has...

I think if you want a model that outputs sound in a way that only you can hear it, your best bet will be bone conduction.

I still have the very first SSD I ever bought, a 120GB Samsung 830 that is well over 10 years old. It is the OS drive in my server and thus running 24/7. No errors yet.

Ich will nicht den Hubschraubereinsatz rechtfertigen.

Unabhängig davon jedoch: fick Menschen, die Züge besprühen, vor allem die, die Fenster übersprühen.

In meiner Heimat gab es so eine Art Ausschreibung für die Verschönerung von Stromkästen etc., da kamen sehr individuelle und größtenteils schöne Bemalungen heraus.
So einen Ansatz unterstütze ich.

Tagging und generell das Besprühen von fremdem Eigentum (und auch öffentlichem Eigentum) finde ich grundsätzlich falsch.

vintageballs ,

Die Lösung ist nicht, dass da noch mehr drüber gesprüht wird, sondern, dass es diese Art von Werbung nicht geben sollte.

I hope all the people glueing themselves to roads see this as a clear sign that it is a valid and effective form of protest and ramp up their actions.

An all-encompassing assistant will probably be a ways off. But LLM-based tools that can process visual inputs are already available to the general customer, e.g. LLava.

Mistral can be easily run on a 4090. I think you mean Mixtral.

You can relax somewhat, it's (hopefully) either meant as a joke or the poster is seriously uninformed.

Competing VR/AR is and was awesome already. No need for a massively overpriced spying device to "innovate" on a working concept.

Taiwan's new envoy to the U.S. offers assurances to Washington and Beijing ( www.latimes.com )

Taiwan’s top diplomat in Washington has a message for both the island’s Chinese adversaries and its American friends: Don’t worry that Taiwan’s new president-elect will worsen relations with Beijing and possibly draw the U.S. into a conflict....

Let's hope Winnie the Pooh and his cronies are interested in keeping the status quo too.

Off topic, but seeing Von der Leyen in such a tired (?) state gives me Star Wars Emperor vibes.

I think there was a mixup, we received all that snow in Germany for some reason
