AlteredStateBlob,

I think Alexsander is one of the main reasons I won't ever have children.

AlteredStateBlob,

Kann man das noch Opposition nennen, wnen die ne Mehrheit für sowas haben?

AlteredStateBlob,

That's his knee, he's got his leg across the other, not his hand down his pants.

AlteredStateBlob,

30 Minuten und keine einzige Antwort dazu, wie man irgendetwas von dem was die kritisieren lösen könnte.

AlteredStateBlob,

Und nichts davon wurde in direkte Verbindung zu den Fragen gebracht. Es waren einfach nur rants. Sie hat ja nicht mal direkt gesagt, dass Atomkraft die Strompreise senken würde. Nur: Energiepreise zu hoch und Atomkraft gut. Völlig verrückt.

Mega gut fand' ich auch: Bildung in Deutschland scheiße, Anschluss verloren, Brain Drain. Bürgergeld = Fachkräftemangel... Also.... Wir bringen die schlecht ausgebildeten, aktuellen Fachrkäfte in den Beruf mit Senkung des Bürgergeldes? Weil die alle Bürgergeld beziehen oder irgendwie sowas? Und die, die abgewandert sind locken wir damit wieder an, dass wir die Sozialleistungen kürzen?

AlteredStateBlob,

Tjo. Die Hundepfeifen müssen ja auch benutzt werden.

AlteredStateBlob,

Sounds exactly like what a drunk man would do. And Russians are certainly known for being that. It all tracks.

AlteredStateBlob,

All this debate and nobody brings up that, thanks to climate change, cooling nuclear power plants will become a roll of the dice? Same as it already happened in France?

Droughts are really, really bad for nuclear power. Solar and wind don't give a shit.

Doesn't even matter much which technology is better on any other point. If you cannot run it, it's worthless. Especially at times with increased power demand for example due to AC usage spiking thanks to the same heat that just poofed your cooling solution into oblivion.

AlteredStateBlob,

I have no idea and coal sucks and is the result of intense lobbying and corrupt politicians being bought for pennies on the dollar for the last 25 years.

The point isn't the water usage of nuclear power, since most of it is evaporated and returned to the cycle, so I'd be surprised if it's worse than coal in terms of actual consumption. However you need water in large quantities and the correct temperatures to be able to use it for cooling on nuclear.

If there is no water or not enough water of sufficient temperatures, then you can't cool the plant. It's simple as that.

Droughts overall are horrible for Europe just as much as anywhere else. We're losing tons of valuable topsoil, forrests are dying contributing to the continual errosion. All this could lead to salination and eventual death of farmland. Crop yields are unpredictable. No country on this planet can exist for any prolonged period of time with droughts, unless it can import everything it can't produce itself from elsewhere.

Water usage is generally a huge issue in Germany. Farmers take out far, far more than they're allotted already and there's almost no oversight. Large cities like Frankfurt am Main are pulling in water from surrounding areas, leaving them dry. And this isn't even touching on the basically free use of water for our industries at large. It's a really bad situation.

The only point where renewables would "rely" on water beyond their construction processes is either water generated power itself or energy storage (which comes down to the same).

AlteredStateBlob,

And you feel this attitude is correct in engaging with people new to the fediverse?

Hope you're okay.

AlteredStateBlob,

I'm one of the new folk around here as well and I can fully understand that kind of feeling once it feels like the flood gates have opened and your small community ain't so small no more and people bring different vibes than what you're used to / what you enjoy.

Genuinely, I'm sorry, it sucks.

AlteredStateBlob,

They have been an issue for a long time. But COVID really gave a boost to these schools of thought and those that opposed COVID quickly found themselves on networks and pages that were and are spreading right wing and Russian propaganda. It is a huge mess and truly arrived in the middle of society. I have people at work in high positions getting ready to fight some boogyman government overreach that was supposed to happen with COVID, but didn't happen. Now it is supposed to happen as part of climate change policies... for a while I have kept the official information on what to do if you encounter a Reichsbürger by our BND at hand. It is ridiculous.

AlteredStateBlob,

If Larian simply releases an honest to god Addon to BG3 like they used to be in the early 2000s, they're going to break the internet, I think. A complete game that is good with a complete addon that is good... Kinda like Witcher 3 with Blood and Wine, etc.

AlteredStateBlob,

Yes, but those were called addons once upon a time. Before addons were user scripts or mods, etc.

At least that's what they were called in Germany.

AlteredStateBlob,

Depressingly accurate

AlteredStateBlob,

Kriegt mich immer.

AlteredStateBlob,

My brain auto-corrected the word "least" out of it and I just thought that was to be expected.

AlteredStateBlob,

All that lad is getting is a link to her onlyfans.

Do you think we will ever have affordable housing again in our lifetime?

Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?

AlteredStateBlob,

You're part of the problem here. Owning more than you rightly need and then using it for airbnb of all things.

It's not just flippers or larger companies. It's people like you en masse trying to get ahead of the next less fortunate sucker just as much.

AlteredStateBlob,

The dude has the flag of the DDR as his profile picture. German tankies are a particularly special breed of stupid, with all that the opening of the STASI archives revealed about the horrible shit going on under Sowjet rule.

AlteredStateBlob,

I like it. It is provocative

AlteredStateBlob,

My best guess is that the almost two years of can kicking this conclusion was enough for most larger investors to reposition so the bag holders are now, once again, regular people.

Only difference being that it is a large amount of Chinese citizens getting fudged, rather than US or EU citizens.

AlteredStateBlob,

They really cannot help themselves. Money corrupts all.

AlteredStateBlob,

What day 1 DLC? The Deluxe edition cosmetic stuff?

AlteredStateBlob,

Just clarifying what you meant. I thought I missed something. DLC to my mind is like... an extra race or somthing a bit more relevant than purely cosmetic stuff. Not going to argue semantics here, fair enough to call that a micro transaction and it's certainly DLC.

AlteredStateBlob,

I'm not even disagreeing with you and that quote didn't show up anywhere in this thread? But alright, you do you.

AlteredStateBlob,

Because that's literally their whole job. Their justification for testing something on hardware it wasn't intended for is that they (LTT) didn't want to spend the money on their end required to do their job properly.

It's not about the product in question. It's about their clearly inadequate processes and considerations, prioritizing profits over accuracy. Kinda terrible for a company trying to break into the whole accuracy market with their testing and data.

AlteredStateBlob,

Nah, I am not buying that. They gave an opinion based on data they collected. That is a review, even if they don't call it that.

AlteredStateBlob,

Can relate. Had to more or less force myself. But it did click around season 2 or 3 to the point where I think it's one of the very best space operas that has ever been made and most likely ever will be made.

AlteredStateBlob,

The conspiracy nut in me says that they hope it will be easier to control, especially inflation and deflation. Maybe even have an raiser time tracking people and sanctioning them as needed. Maybe they think it will be easier to clamp down on stuff like money laundering and tax evasion.

AlteredStateBlob,

So the upcoming patches will allow nsfw stuff without being logged in?

AlteredStateBlob,

I will take that as a compliment and you have made my day.

AlteredStateBlob,

If the quality of this meme is not indicative of the quality of my content, I don't know what to tell you.

AlteredStateBlob,

You were intending your comment at as a genuine insult? Would you look at that.

AlteredStateBlob,

The CEO didn't get that money from the Mozilla Foundation though, but rather Reportable compensation from related organizations (W-2/1099-MISC/1099-NEC) which can be anything like parent companies or subsidiaries, etc. https://www.mlrpc.com/articles/decipher-form-990-sections-compensation-reporting/

Not sure if that makes it better, but the other compensation looks fairly alright to me.

AlteredStateBlob,

All good. I have no idea about these taxforms, but since the compensation didn't show up on the pro-republica form analysis but is visible in the 990 form from mozilla itself, I went and tried to find out what's going on. No idea if I am right though. Don't know US taxlaws at all.

AlteredStateBlob,

I am not a fan of high compensation overall on the C-Level. What I'm worried about most with these types of companies is being destroyed from within. That's generally heralded by bringing in high cost outside consultancy firms.

I don't see that yet on their balance sheet. No idea what Mozilla Corp. does, but the Mozilla Foundation is still doing things I am aligned with.

But as with all things, constant vigilence is key. More and more it feels like there's barely anywhere left to invest time or money in. Fediverse is truly a ray of sunshine at the moment. But I wonder how long that'll last until it's been subverted by commercial interests.

AlteredStateBlob,

If Google is successful with their garbage webDRM, I feel we might actually get a sort of reset back to the early 2000s internet for those that care to get out of that corporate hell hole the "internet" has become.

And thanks to the Fediverse we might not even need something like Google ever again. But then they'll start attacking the infrastructure itself. Make it prohibitively expensive to run such instances, etc. Attack them with content that gets instances banned, etc.

No matter where one looks, it feels it's an all out war on any minor comfort or freedom left to the non-ultra-rich-ultra-connected.

So. As for Firefox. What's a good alternative? I'm very fond of the container thing they got going, but everything else can be replaced, I believe.

AlteredStateBlob,

I looked at it and have no idea where or how to start as a creator. It's a badly federated mess as far as I can tell. Hope it improved eventually.

AlteredStateBlob,

I might have no idea how it works, but I can barely ever find anything, let's say looking for crusader kings content. Either it doesn't exist (possible) or the instances are badly federated and I can't find that stuff searching on one of them.

[News] DeSantis-controlled Disney World district gets rid of all diversity, equity and inclusion programs and staffers (www.nbcnews.com)

ORLANDO, Fla. — Diversity, equity and inclusion programs were abolished Tuesday from Walt Disney World’s governing district, now controlled by appointees of Gov. Ron DeSantis, in an echo of the Florida governor’s agenda which has championed curtailing such programs in higher education and elsewhere....

AlteredStateBlob,

What a sad, sad life these people that just hate others for who they are must lead.

AlteredStateBlob,

Good thing. Liftoff would be an adfree and free alternative. But for those that loved sync, probably the only correct solution

AlteredStateBlob,

But can you vertically and horizontally align something that isn't text reliably by now?

AlteredStateBlob,

This must be one of those situations that keep you up at night even at the age of 105, the event being 50 years in the past. I am really glad my job has nowhere near that kind of responsibility.

AlteredStateBlob,

People really need to learn that you have almost infinite leverage and credit with net worth and wealth like Bezos. Man will never have to spend a cent of his own illiquid assets and will live like an emperor until he dies still.

What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre?

The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.

AlteredStateBlob,

A bit older than the Orville, Red Dwarf was the original satire of Star Trek turned into a legitimate Sci-Fi show a la Star Trek.

I enjoyed it a lot, at least the original seasons. Never watched the later ones they added thirty or so years later.

AlteredStateBlob,

Falls du es bisher mit E-Mails versucht hast, schreib' Briefe. Die meisten dieser Dinosaurier und Dinosaurier-Wrangler gehen davon aus, dass Ihre echte Wählerschaft genau so mit ihnen kommuniziert. Briefe sind in meiner Erfahrung der effektivste Weg vorallem Explodierer gestützte Politiker zu erreichen.
