I don't think most people buy balcony solar in Germany to save money. The eletricity you generate is very little, and it takes years before you even break even, and then you maybe save a couple of dozen euros a year. No, I think it&#x2

Not the person you're replying to, but I have tried Zed and I think it does too much things I don't need (like LLM integration, all that "multiplayer" stuff), and it's funded by VCs, so it will go down the road of

It makes sense to me that a big portion of government spending goes towards social welfare and healthcare – at the end, that's one of the most important things. I agree that defense was underfunded in many EU countries. But hindsight i
