  • Nuclear is the worst possible option to fill said gaps. Nuclear reactor need to run at a mostly stable output permanently, they are slow to react to changes and can’t be switched on or off at will.

    You could use them to generate a stable base power level, but that’s the opposite of what we need. It wouldn’t change anything regarding the need of energy storage.

    The best option currently as a gap filler is gas cause it can be turned on or off in minutes when needed.

    Not keeping up with demand is a self-made problem. Multiple EU countries already have multiple days a year where they use 100% renewables.




  • Tbh, that’s pretty much the only thing Youtube did in the last few years that I can’t really complain about. I despise their business tactics, but using your VPN to get regional prices just fucks it up for everyone. In first world countries, it’s one or two hours of work. The same price in poor countries would be up to a monthly wage, that’s why it costs them less. Abusing this will only end in most companies removing regional differences and blocking VPNs completely.

    There are other methods to get the same functionality, use them instead of creating problems for others.



  • As long as even basic features like push notifications are locked behind Google services, I’d hardly count that as a win. The Google monopoly on android is even worse than the Microsoft monopoly on PCs. Microsoft has at least some good alternative with the current Linux environment, but Googles only competitor is apple with an even worse system.

    Sure there are projects like LinageOS and GraphenOS, but both are still reliant on micro G or containerised Goggle apps.


  • Vanadium is purposefully made this way. It tries to minimise profiling by making your actions noise in a big mass of users. That only works if you use the standard config without anything to discern you.

    Mull is the other extreme of this. They try to eliminate fingerprinting by reducing the amount of trackable things in your browser.

    It’s hard to say what really is the better option. You can’t completely eliminate fingerprinting, and the more you try, the more you will stick out of the masses.
