Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it’seven available commercially… So I’m not too sure about the direction we’re going.

The thing is, nuclear problems are big and scary events, but they’re rare.

Think like plane crash vs other transportation accidents: they make bigger news, but they’re actually safer than most other solutions.

Here’s the data: ourworldindata.org/…/death-rates-from-energy-prod…

It does seem that your solar example is the one thing that’s safer than nuclear sccording to this chart though, so maybe you knew!

Those are very good points.

This specific source doesn’t highlight it and I don’t have the opportunity to find something else at the moment, but when I first heard about it ( in a ted talk that I can’t remember the name of… ) they had highlighted that health complications followed similar curves. The worsts of course being burning stuff due to dumping it in the air, but that most renewables had their lot of injuries too, that their just less publicized.

Here’s my full take of nuclear/renewables

My understanding is that most power grid depending on renewables need an alternate energy source for when power demands ramp up: they need some energy sources that they can tune depending of needs, at the drop of a hat.

Hydro does that, you can let more or less water through. (I happen to live aomewhere where most of our energy is Hydro) Things like wind or solar are more complicated.

As an energy appoint source, I think nuclear is a good fit for some use cases.

One thing I find annoying is that there’s no way for me to let the company know that this behavior lost me as their customer forever unless they change their tune.

I’m fairly sure I’m the kind of person they’d market those products towards and it hurs them, but there’s no wat that I’m aware of to let them know.

If there was a way, and a significant amount of people would do so, maybe the decision makers would understand it’s stupid…

As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.

It’s a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that’s what this is.

I see that being said quite often.

Is there any actual proof of this or is it speculation?

In low density population areas, it seems to me that laying fiber would be cost prohibitive, but I’d like to be proven wrong.

Being rich doesn’t mean your life doesn’t suck, just that you don’t have money problems.

Small anecdote: I bought a new Cheverolet Bolt about two years ago.

A couple of months after I bought it there was a recall on the batteries, they had to replace all of them in the car.

They were out of stock for quite a while (I assume because of supply chain issues)

They finally replaced them a couple of months ago.

I choose to see that as a 2 years extension on my bettery life,lucky me!

I was raised by my grandparents.

My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.

'Barbie' makes history with $1 billion at the box office (www.cnn.com)

“Barbie” has answered the billion-dollar question with a resounding “yes.” Barely three weeks into its run, writer-director Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster has raked in an astounding $1.03 billion at the global box office, according to official Warner Bros. estimates. This makes Gerwig the first solo female director with a...

That’s too broad a claim for me to agree.

In this specific event, adjusting for inflation on older movies might show that there was precedent where a movie directed by a single woman was more successful than this one.

If that happen, that achievement should also be celebrated. If that didn’t happen, this movie should be even more celebrated.

Asking for more data isn’t the same thing as attacking a claim.

Maybe I’m just naive, but I like to assume good intentions.

If someone actually say something sexist, calling them out is important. But I don’t think assuming sexism first is a good thing either.

DDoS are sometimes just people thinking “because I can”, not necessarily motivated by profit.

A smallish scale service like a lemmy server ran by volunteers seems like an easy target, so it wouldn’t be surprising that being the case.
