Aren't screenshots just one implementation specific variant of the possible solutions? Recall immediately made me think about a universal API that all kinds of applications write history to. That data can then be searched, or you could

Yes, you are, to the extent that "the other option" would have been better. This seems incredibly obvious. If my options are "don't bomb children" and "bomb children", there's an obvious choice and ob

Well yes, but you're completely misunderstanding how the trolley problem applies to voting, esp. in the USA. You're pretending that "Not Voting" and "Voting" are the switch options, but that's simply not t

Here in Germany, we have like 20 different parties on the ballot, with maybe 6 of those having a reasonable chance to actually get any seats. Not a SINGLE ONE perfectly represents me and my issues. I still voted, because my personal lazines

In other replies you explicitly state how rare it is that you log in to other systems. Aren't you therefore optimizing for 1% of the cases, but sabotaging the 99%?

It's super simple. Check out all the Fediverse alternatives. How many people that talk a big game actually financially support those services? 2% maybe, on the high end. Things cost money, and at a large scale, there's either capi

Without any snark, what's the reason? I'm assuming it's either made up or exagerated NIMBY nonsense, but what environmental argument could there possibly be against light commercials in residential areas?

If people are only worth 10/hr, but they need 15/hr to not die, the state has to step in to subsidize the exploitative business. Alternatively, the employees turn to crime, which is again a costly externality the company causes, o

But the "simple" system will be full of repetition and boilerplate, meaning the same bugs are scattered around the code base, and obscured by masses of boilerplate. Isn't a GC also a Magic? Or anything above assembly? While I

There's a special brand of anti-intellectualism running rampant in tech circles. They've drunk the koolaid on STEM vs. humanities and therefore glorify their willful ignorance towards all things "soft" science, like mora

If you gave the jewish resistance in Nazi Germany the same deal, would you be just as suprised if they continued to fight for total freedom?

Well, hows the "peace" in the West Bank, where there's no Hamas? Israel has proven in both the West Bank AND Gaza that they do not care whether you violently resist or you attempt to be peaceful. You WILL BE REMOVED from your

People called a genocide because if we wait for it to be bad enough to be called a genocide by even the most cynical person, too many people have died. Quite frankly, the genocide of the Jewish people in Germany also started far sooner than

These are death rates with the current saturation of plants. If we wanted to cover all of Europe, a much more densely populated area, with nuclear, the deaths (and other negative consequences) would be far greater, no?

Well, good thing that we have no reason to build these reactors as far away from population centers as possible, right? We already have enough heat for that, from industries. Distribution is the biggest factor, and in that, distance. It&#x2

Nuclear is more expensive and more geopolitically dangerous than renewables. For a short time, Germany was even leading in PV technology, it could've been our new sector we dominate in. But, as always, greedy investors and corrupt righ

You mean western sources like the USA, that suddenly starts waving it's dick around when the wrong dipshit is elected? The USA that made a nuclear deal with Iran and then scrapped it for no fucking reason?

This is just utterly and completely wrong. EVEN THE COMPANIES THEMSELVES say it would be stupid to reopen those plants. And, of course, the idea that "dependence" on Russia is bad, but replacing it with dependence on other states

You do NOT get to constantly taut the low mortality rates of nuclear AND call for less regulation at the same time. But even from a very matter of fact point of view, I'd rather have 1000 people die every year for 20 years, than have 2

How so? Why is that a nail in the renewable coffin, but not the nuclear one? Nuclear is constantly sold as a miracle base load cure, but it can't even manage that. Why isn't that instead a call for more storage, in general?
112.

Well, not really. Investing in heating homes or powering light bulbs is, outside of extremely extreme situations, always a good investment, because people will always want to do that. AI is also just super young, has apparently zero mote, r

Let's not pretend that the companies running those plants are being hindered by the government. They themselves have said turning them back on is a stupid idea.

If we had renewables everywhere, wouldn't a lot of that potentially disappear?

If you did what nuclear fans did and tried to cover most/all of the load with nuclear, you would necessarily need to build more nuclear power plants, which esp. in Europe would automatically put them closer to population. That would au

Well, no, that's more down to nuclear fans constantly using the worst possible comparisons, and creating false dichotomies. The better comparison are renewables or natural gas, not an ancient technology literally everybody (outside of

How plenty is the supply that's not in some other countries control, that might make us dependent on them, yet again, like with Germany, gas and Russia.

Alternatively, renewables have the massive advantage of being distributed and often closer to the consumer, possibly even their rooftop, or their parking space, or even on top of their shading device (big umbrellas etc.), or their agricultu

I obviously don't know about Norway, but in most developed countries, the number one reason for habitat destruction or disruption is going to be animal agriculture, or highspeed road infrastructure. While I can't prove it, it seem

The AI companies that are famously making massive profits and have found a well working way to make money, correct? They aren't just propped up by the sale of a fantasy world full of money that's always just a couple months or yea
