In an ideal world yes, but we’ve learned nothing from the Dotcom bubble, or the 2008 housing bubble.

If there is money to be made, history will repeat itself.

Discord, at one point, was better than a lot of other app on the market, and they were one of the first where you could just create an account and join any group, for free.

It became the standard, and now we’re stuck with that shit

I have to look for datasheets quite ofen and every damn company requires you to log into their shitty login system to get them.

It’s exhausting

Bring me behind the barn and shoot me dead instead. Less wasted oxygen, more food for the fauna.

VC funding is basically gambling, trying to find the next billion dollar company. So they throw money at anything that has any semblance of traction to get in early and cash out when the time comes.

A lot of the issues you describe are directly linked to money. Yes it takes time and investments, but look at situations like the Covid where pretty much every western countries got caught with their pants down when a vaccine needed to be produced, or PPE were short.

I understand that it takes time, efforts and money to get to a point where we will have a renewable grid, but there’s always people complaining that it’s not the perfect solution, so we should continue on the status quo.

The best time to start was decades ago, the second best time to start is now.

But at this point, this is a political discussion more than a technical one.

We have the means to do it, but not the will.

And yes, our quality of life will definitely be affected, but climate change is already doing that, and the grees that is causing that.

This is trollception I guess.

It’s always funny to me that the first argument is always thinking that socialists want free money.

How many billions are we giving away to big corpos for them to do buy backs and pocket the change?

Being socialist means reusing the tax money for the benefits of the citizens, not the corpos. Trickle down economics are a sham and never worked

I agree that it takes resources, but we could finance the extraction of these resources instead of giving subsidies to fossil and fuel industry, or paying for sports stadium for that matter, or giving money to any corpos really.

And let’s not play coy here and think that the fossil industry isn’t destroying the earth.

We have the money, and the solutions right now, but the profits are in the way.

The problem is that the planet is burning right now, but we only talk in terms of profits.

Yeah the fossil fuels industry is “cheaper” because it has a shit ton of subsidies and does not include the environmental cost.

We have solutions that work right now that we could start to build and maintain while reducing/eliminating the most polluting sources of energy.

The solutions don’t have to be perfect, they have to be better. And if your only argument is money, then fuck off.

I talked to your parents and they told me to tell you to get better.

Yes but there are many solutions already to that problem.

The first one being to shutdown a few stations production when overproducing. The second one being a myriad of storage solutions that already exists and scale them.

It is an economic problem because we already have many ways to skin the cat, but it won’t produce shareholder value in the short term.

If you passively produce more energy than what you actually need, that excess energy can be stored. And even if the stored energy won’t be 100% efficient, it’s still passively produced and can offset the peak hours consumption as needed.

We have a lot of energy storage solutions l, let’s stop the fossi fuels subsidies and spend them on scaling power storage.

Yes, but we already have many solutions ti store energy. Let’s spend the fossil fuel industry subsidies on scaling these storage method instead.

This is my grandpa time, but I love Cinnamon for the less modern UI.

The new UI won’t bother me a cent, but I really disliked KDE for no apparent reason, and Cinnamon hit right what I like about a UI.

I understand that a lot of things can be customized, but I am talking about OoB experience.

People spend thousands of dollar for their furniture, but dont want to pay the extra 75$ it takes to have strong people come and bring their furniture home.

Cheating on one person is one person too much, but that is only my value system. Different people have different tolerances and values.

My partner could have slept with a thousand men, and that wouldn’t matter as long as there was no cheating and no abuse in these interactions.

I guess that I am trying to say that I agree with you in too many worda

Yes, but it is not acceptable in today’s capitalism. Only the growth of growth matters.

If the line does not go up enough, the company is failing.

There is no point of starting the chart to 0 since it doesn’t give any information other than the share price, which is already communicated by the Y axis anyways.

Might be that the CEO and upper management are dumb fucks running the company to the ground.

No more innovation, just microtransactions in shitty games, and the same old rehashed concepts.
