  • Completely agree with you on the first part. My point is that:

    • Long term storage in a non-trivial thing to do, from a technical, social and ecological POV. However, it can be build, as shown in the linked documentary.
    • Not going nuclear has disadvantages (that IMO out number the advantages).
    • Going nuclear also has disadvantages. Thus, the view of experts on the field has a big importance of the topic. In this matter, the consensus I most commonly find in the physicists community is that nuclear is a energy source that should replace carbon/coal, but needs to be complemented with solar/wind/water/thermal, not just disregarded.

    I would like to add that I did not try to call you dumb, I’m sorry if that’s the way it ended up sounding like. The dumb part was directed to the people in charge of the decisions, not you.

    Disagree on the semantics. Physical realities are concepts as well. “Energy”, despite being an extremely useful physical measurement, is an abstract concept. “Physical realities” and “concepts” are not mutually exclusive nor antonymous words.

    In this case, the Aries/vernal point is a concept used to define coordinate systems using physical measures from Earth.




  • I’m very aware of how toxic gaming communities can be, but I don’t see how that refutes my point that Pepe is used with non-hate purposes in the gaming community. Furthermore, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if 90% of the people aren’t aware of Pepe’s relationship with far right, neo-nazis and 4-chan. I still wouldn’t call them any of these words for liking and sharing the frog with the expressive face.

    On the other hand, not wanting to deal with people that post/use Pepe in any sort of way is respectable, albeit seems like a giant social bubble to me.

    TW: slurs ahead.

    This whole thing remins me of “marica” and “maricón”, Spanish words that are used in a few contexts and meanings, the main one bieng “faggot”. Recently, tho, they have increased their popularity in the LGBTQ+ community as a self-describing word, in a “fuck you, homophobics” tone. My point is that dismissing these groups as being too far right over using “maricón” would be devoid of context and interest in others. Note as well I’m not claiming all use of “maricón” is respectable and friendly.




  • Yes.

    My last experience was around 2 months ago with a driver issue. In the forums, someone linked a solution, and a lot of comments were in the lines of “Seriously? This was already in the newsletter, why are people not reading/subscribed to it. It’s their problem then”. Funnily enough, an actually helpful comment noted that the newsletter solution had a typo that made the solution not work as expected.



  • Even then, AMD, Intel and now Apple CPU chips are suspected to be backdored. NIST has been slow to adapt a standard post-quantun E2EE algorithm, with some rumours of self-sabotage mandated by NSA (like they have already done in the past). The Tor network is extremely vulnerable to traffic correlation by big parties.

    Encryption theoretically gives you what you describe, but in reality you still need to put a lot of thrust in things like your own hardware.
