Which is just odd to me because why are we holding one of the cleanest means of generating electricity to a higher standard than like, coal and oil? Why does solar have to have 0 footprint when everything else gets as much of a footprint as

by ryanmcbride 3mo ago
Exactly. For example, I think the lifted solar panels that have been popping up over parking lots are a perfect win-win. Cars get shade, power gets generated, it's out of the way of most day-to-day threats, and if they have to do repai

there may be solutions to it but there are just already existing places to put solar panels that don't even require coming up with solutions.

by ryanmcbride 3mo ago
I'll never understand why people latch onto these kinds of solar "solutions" in search of problems. Like that solar roadways fiasco a decade or so ago. Just normal-ass solar is already safe proven and effective. Why do we nee

God that's sad. We really can't have anything nice.

No because I believe you CAN reason a person out of a position they reasoned themselves into, but if they hold a position that they DIDN'T reason themselves into, THEY have to do the reasoning.

I always interpreted it more as saying that the person has to reason themselves out of their position. A similar saying that I think I picked up here would be, "I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you."

Everyone should do their best to take down or disable every one they see in my opinion.

I'm sorry but this is so naive

Yup. Unfortunately landlords have plenty of time to lobby against things like this while the rest of us are busy contributing to society.

I've been collecting physical music my whole life and there were times that I tried to get everything on CD, times I tried to get everything on vinyl, times I've tried to go fully digital, and the pattern I've fallen into now

This is completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but what iot blinds do you use?

It will never make sense to me why KVMs are such a hard problem to solve. It seems like something we should have a good answer for by now but we still really just don't without dropping hundreds of dollars, and even then it still feels

I don't think they're talking about learning greek or latin before english, it sounds like they're talking about putting more time into learning etymology which is incredibly useful.

If it was profitable for them to fix it they could probably fix it immediately. They don't care because it's no longer profitable for them to provide excellent service. They only care about providing a service that is just good en

I've always interpreted "Year of the Linux Desktop" as a personal journey, like Hot Girl Summer. It's not about the year that there's a watershed and suddenly everyone is rolling custom distros, it's about an i

I think about this a lot but I also kind of feel like I'll never truly be able to retire in a way that matters.

Yup. There is no authority that is going to swoop in and hold them accountable, there is no legal recourse to be had from any court currently in existence. No one is going to save us but ourselves.

I've used last.fm since the beginning and I still use it to scrobble. I hope it goes back to the more open api and the ability to more freely customize the profile pages like was possible back before last.fm 2.0 or whatever it was when

I'm used to this happening with retro collecting but not with things being actively produced

I don't want to support a company that's going to do everything they can possibly legally get away with, I want to support companies that do the right thing where they can.

Hey man, respectfully, opt-in by default is not opt-in. That's opt-out, and it's scummy. I feel like you either know that already, or should, but either way I won't be using your product anymore. Just pulled it out of the pro

More likely we simply won't learn. Or at least, the people in charge won't.

Yeah it's pretty obvious I'm generalizing the entire generation not talking about her specifically.
