politics @lemmy.world•The US government is trying to make coal seem cute. It isn't. | Trump complained that coal needed better PR. Then “Coalie” showed up.
6·2 hours agoI grew up in a county powered by Nuclear. The weird thing is that the plant was in basically the most beautiful part of the area. Their are hiking trails and parks nearby. And the artificial lakes are a huge tourist draw. Some of the most expensive real estate is practically in the shadow of the cooling towers.
The power generation that suffers from bad publicity is not coal.

Technology@lemmy.world•Operation Sovereignty - Germany plans a breakthrough from M$English
41·15 hours agoIt makes strategic sense to decouple from American tech now that they know we’ere an unreliable ally. Microslop won’t guarantee your data won’t go through American servers and jurisdictions. It’s also resistance to Tariff wars and Greenland bullshit that pokes the US in it’s conspirator industry, Big Tech.

I don’t think the proliferation of bad press is anything other than a chronicle of the decline of Firefox.
I’ve been ride or die with Firefox since early, and I’ve never daily driven Chrome. But I’ve had to keep Chrome installed to look at the sites that don’t play with FF. Little by little, FF get’s worse, and most of the “worst” these days are features, not bugs. Though their are plenty of bugs. They certainly deserve praise for keeping faith with ublock. And I appreciate that they respect privacy more than Alphabet.
I want Mozilla to succeed. I just remember when Mozilla made the case with the quality of their software, rather than the quality of their ethics.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•What do you mean it's not $139.00 for an OS?
121·22 hours agoTo be honest: Windows has been free (for home users) for a while now. To be brutally honest: Most of the users who’ve abandoned Microslop did so with free plugged into the value proposition.

World News@lemmy.world•Israel to end Doctors Without Borders work in GazaEnglish
44·2 days agoDuring the active phase of their genocide, Israel got big mad at DWB. You may remember the reports. Doctors who had just come from places like Syria saw an unusual number of small children with single gunshot wounds to the head and torso.
So doctors with experience in war, experience treating ‘collateral damage’, were saying that you’d expect more shrapnel wounds, or for bullet wounds to be randomly distributed on the bodies of non-targeted wounded children.
Zionists denounced this reporting as antisemitic “blood libel”. Noting the long history of Jews being accused of child-murder. Which might be a good point if these accusations were not evidence based observations from reliable and respectable people. Or if IDF soldiers and Israeli colonists were not already credibly implicated in numerous war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

Ask Science@lemmy.world•How close are we to infinite power? Being able to cheaply in our everyday lives? Or are we trying anymore?English
231·2 days agoThe only thing holding back a renewable revolution is politics.
Solar cells are cheap, and once installed, harvest free energy for decades with little maintenance. Battery technology is ready for solar on the grid too. Batteries based on sodium are available now. But even the lithium batteries are fantastic. Sure, batteries mean resource extraction and everything that comes with that, but what we extract is being made into durable goods that can be used over and over for decades, then recycled. Fossil fuels are perpetual resource extraction because the product is burned and destroyed.
One day, the number one source of lithium batteries will be old lithium batteries. This is already true with lead-acid car batteries.
Technology Connections Youtube channel just released a video that is the source for my comments. Bonus, the heat-pump guy get’s ‘mad as hell’ toward the end.

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Tourists smiles in selfie with snow leopard seconds before being brutally mauledEnglish
68·2 days agoAs someone who grew up rural, it’s amazing how many people don’t recognize danger in animals. Worse still, they often think in mystical terms like “it can sense I’m a good person”, or the animal’s acceptance of you is some kind of approval. This is a trope in all kinds of media.
I once saw a tourist approach a small herd of buffalo to get a picture. Anyone who’s spent time on the same side of the fence as a bull knows this is insanity. (he was OK, but Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon buffalo will subtract a few from the census every year)
Some of the most terrifying animals aren’t even big. I knew a banty rooster known to have killed two venomous snakes and and a hawk. I’ve also seen him in hot pursuit of a grown men running for their lives. A house-cat in a panic can send you to the hospital.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Taking bets. How many days until alex pretti is completely memory holed?
32·2 days agoI don’t understand what you mean. How is one “memory holed”? Presumably this means to encourage people to forget, which is why Sandy Hook is a weird example. Not only was that one of the biggest stories of that year, it echoed through the news cycle for years through lawsuits, the Alex Jones thing being the most famous.
It’s ironic to use anything as an example of something people forgot.

The solar part is because the Sun is responsible for the heat differential.

WTF? You know Paul wrote “on women” too.
I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.






I’ve been told that Kaczynski’s manifesto is compelling and some of his ideas about the danger in technology makes more sense now than when he was captured. I’m kinda scared to read it.
