Fuck 'em. I have my computer and that’s where I’ll stay.

Yeah well, that’s the conservative government for you. We could’ve just as easily transitioned from nuclear to renewables, which don’t have the nuclear waste problem that is still unsolved. And Germany was for a brief time leading renewable energy innovation. But when the conservative government was faced with the cost of providing the infrastructure for this up-and-coming industry branch of the future, they instead cut all funding. This directly lead to the downfall of the German renewable sector (“Altmaier-Delle”). So while you are correct, when taking into account the entire time span from 2002, that Germany increased its reliance on coal and natural gas especially, it is incorrect to say that not sticking with nuclear was the sole reason for this. Betting on renewables was absolutely feasible even back then, as the current boom of renewables aptly demonstrates. But the conservatives do what conservatives do best: Stifle the future by fearing the up-front investment cost and sticking to the old and familiar instead of betting on the new and future-proof, even when the old way of doing this has already been shown to be unsustainable.

To me, your take is completely uninformed, so allow me to enlighten you. When Russia attacked Ukraine, oil prices spiked and conservative media were trying to cause a panic that Germany hadn’t enough natural gas to get through the winter. Tangent: The natural gas levels are much lower today than they ever were 2022, but because we now have a conservative government, conservative media doesn’t care. Anyway, because the start of the Ukraine war was such a volatile time and to assuage any fears, the last government decided to give the last 3 operational nuclear power plants a 6 month extension and to bring back coal power plants as backup. And that is what they ever where. A backup. And building nuclear power takes decades and costs billions. They help neither in the short-, nor long-term.

At some point, when all their lies have been proven as such, I want to sit those people down and have them admit that they were wrong. Of course, this will never happen. As soon as their old lie collapses, they throw up a new lie to cover their tracks.

Thanks for the idea!

On the other hand, you watched a bunch of videos of X consistently,but skipped the last 3 we recommended? You’ll never see that topic again.

Now I need to find another easy-to-use streaming stick for my parents.

Stargate SG1 has a very muted romantic subplot that ultimately goes nowhere, SGA has no romantic subplot between the main characters.

That more young people are needed to contribute tax money to the retirement fund is a hoax anyways. Governments could choose to fund retirement funds through any number of ways. A wealth tax for example.

I prefer Windows giving programs time to shut down properly. You can always click on ‘shutdown anyways’ or whatever the button is called. Also what kind of programs do you run that take 45 seconds to shut down?

Step 1) Don’t use YouTube('s own client)

uMatrix once again to the rescue. It can block cookies. The only downside to uMatrix is that it dis-/allows based on su domain, so you can’t accept a log-in cookie and reject the tracking cookie, if they are served by the same subdomain.

uMatrix makes for a nice screenshot.

I use it and love it. Without it, I feel naked browsing. It shows which sites load what from where.

You can report sites that are broken on Firefox: https://webcompat.com/issues/new

Just FYI, you can export your Bitwarden database to plain text and import that with KeePassXC

You can scan without ink cartriges.

And it has not enough users. If the fediverse ever became popular enough to hold significant marketshare, we’d see similar issues. The upside to the fediverse is that you can defederate from misinformation peddlers.

Good choice, but sadly, I already know and read that one. And it’s lately falling into the will-they-wont-they trap

Oh yeah? Then name me an action manga that also has a proper romance and no will-the-wont-they bullshit.
