Maglevs are overhyped. Adam Something call those GadgetBahn.

Better enforcment of GDPR and DSA may be enought to effectively ban big US tech without passing any new law.

Except the lack of government AND the massive amount of pollution and resources waste.

Wake me up when they consider joining Taler.

Disabling downvotes can avoid such drama. Some instances do.

It sounds like this ruling is based on a technicality. If so, couldn’t FTC make the same decision, this time better following letter of the law?

Another reason to avoid Google. Try Startpage, Duckduckgo or another search engine.

Google talk a lot about future renewables and nuclear energy projects, but they’re increasing energy consumption before those projects start producing energy.

So Google rely on burning lots of fossil fuel to power its fast AI developments, meaning their AI plans are increasing pollution and aggravating climate change.

Turn the carbon market into a carbon tax. There would be no made up carbon credit to sell.

It takes years to clear mines after a war, better start early.

To this day, farmers and construction workers are still stumbling upon unexploded bombs from WW2.

It’s only beginning.

This does sounds like doubling down on a bet.

I understand they have more urgent things to tackle, but would be curious to know what they consider higher priority.

Their latest release announcement seems to focus on AI a lot https://about.gitlab.com/eighteen/

Hopefully it’s done carefully, not an excuse to push all users to run an AI slop machine.

Depending on the context, this may or may not be a false dichotomy.

If considering the act of voting in an election in a country with a two party system, each with a different shade of neoliberalism, then there are two choices realistically, and picking the lesser evil is a decent moral choice.

I had forgotten about this. Hopefully the mineral deal has a provision that allows sudpending it if the USA stop supporting Ukraine, or throw Ukraine under the bus.

Any Brave alternative that works on iOS?

I’ve installed brave on some familly iOS device because that’s the best I could find at the time. But hope to find a good replacement.

Cromite use a third party repo, rather than being in the main one. And I’m hesitant to add repos for my system’s security.

Do anyone has some informations or sources on Cromite’s maintainer, whether cromite.org is safe to add to repos?

Fossil fuel are getting progressively harder to produce, since easily accessible oil and gas fields were the first to be exploited, and are (soon to be) depleted, leaving hard to reach ones. So they’re getting more expensive even without taxing them.

Renewable sources are getting progressively cheaper.

The EU is planning to enforce CBAM soon, and other may follow and tax import from country that have 0 carbon tax.

So even if they’re not motivated for dumb political reasons, they’re going to feel more and more financial pressure.

The years is 2025, and the USA is betting on early 20th century energy sources.

Guess what happens next.
