You mean the base load? Yes, that's a common myth. European countries have no problem with their base load, even when depending on wind and solar.

For being unreliable, it's working strangely well and stable. Far better than the fuel-based sources which fail all the time for various reasons.

Define quickly. The problems are known for 10+ years, the calling is around for even longer. Germany car-industry has been stagnating for decades, rotting through the system even today, years after all those crises have starting killing it.

At the core, there is the tradeoff between ability and security. You can give the users power and enable them doing fancy shit, or you can make it secure, stripping any meaningful ability. Usually, people prefer ability over security. The o

The insecurity is part of the benefit. Obsidian being so open, allowing easy customizing is what makes it great. They should add some more bells, whistles and guards to prevent sneaky social attacks, but they can't close Obsidian all t

VS Code is also offering significant more ability than Zed at the moment. If you want to sell RAM-usage as a phenomenal benefit, then you should compare it with similar editors, like Sublime or (Neo)Vim.
