Basically, when the right-wing CDU started the phase-out it was a good thing, when the Greens phased out the last 3, it became a bad thing.

That’s literally all this discussion is about. Anyone who’s actually taken a look at the data knows that phasing it out was the right move and that there’s no point in bringing it back. There’s a reason the share of nuclear keeps going down in the EU. Germany is also not the only country that doesn’t use nuclear anymore.

Here are the sources for anyone interested:

If the real estate market is doing good, that just means that housing is getting more expensive and investors get a lot of profit out of it. China did something (tbh I don’t know what exactly they did) to make housing prices go down again. That means that investors lost money and the real estate market wasn’t doing well. It was on purpose because the point was to make housing cheaper, which is a good thing, but if you only see housing as something to make profits from, then this means that that market isn’t doing good.

You could also wait a few weeks or months and then put the latest version of the distro you’d prefer on your USB stick and just boot from it to see if your issues have been fixed

Do you happen to moderate any discord servers by chance?

I just turned 20 last week (I just remembered it was actually 2 weeks ago but this kinda illustrates my point) and the days and weeks leading up to my birthday went by just as fast as every other day because birthdays just aren’t that special anymore (I now have money to just buy myself the stuff I want, after all). As a kid, it felt like an eternity waiting for my birthday. I woke up everday counting how often I’ll have to sleep/go to school until my birthday finally comes. Now I look at my phone and I’m like “Oh, my birthday’s tomorrow already. Totally forgot about it.”

How do you opt-in to that?

I would also imagine that relationships between a cis and a trans person are often like that, unfortunately

You’re doing more than the vast majority of people, so this isn’t supposed to be an attack but isn’t it kinda selfish to still eat cheese when you, from what it seems like, understand why it’s wrong? Anyway, actual cheese can already be made vegan but, at least in the EU, the company just isn’t allowed to sell it because they’re still waiting for approval but other companies like Rewe are also starting to invest in it, so hopefully it won’t take long until it can be sold. I think they’re starting to sell it outside the EU tho.

Kinda weird that they’re calling the “collapsing real-estate sector” an economic challenge when that’s completely on purpose

Idk about public trackers but you can just upload them on private trackers. If you’re not on any private trackers, I am.

At least Germany has already agreed to give more military aid to Ukraine

I did the power measurement using a power meter. We also use natural gas for heating and don’t have any AC.

I don’t think that’s your PC. I actually measured how much power my PC and my monitors consumed in a week and used that to calculate how much that would be for the year and compared to the total used energy for that year. My PC setup was only a small fraction of the yearly usage. The vast majority of your energy is gonna be consumed by things like fridges, ovens, heating, water pumps, etc.

Pretty sure they’re talking about making a distro, not forking the Linux kernel. I don’t see any reason why they would need to fork it anyway.

I use a refurbished 10tb HDD for my server too and it works just fine

I don’t use glide typing, so I didn’t even notice that 😅

But text prediction and glide typing are being rewritten from the ground up currently, so it’ll be there eventually

The rules in the EU are also made for the rich. The difference is just that the EU has at least some left votes in there, so it’s not as bad.

I use Florisboard Beta with the FloriStyle theme (It’s a Gboard theme). The only thing I really miss with it is text predictions but they’re still working on that and it’s not that big of a deal.

Rufus has that option, I’ve used it myself to update to Win11 because I didn’t have a motherboard with TPM at the time.
Also wanna mention, the reason I updated was mostly because I thought Win10 was kinda ugly and I think Win11 was a huge update in that regard and also because of security reasons, since Win10 won’t receive any more updates in the near future. At the end of the day, I can count on one hand how often I boot Windows in a year (I almost exclusively use Linux), so I don’t really care about all the Win11 bullshit anyway.

We’re not gonna be able to combat climate change under capitalism anyway. The number one thing we need to do is to produce less but that goes directly against what capitalism needs to function. Not to mention that governments are bribed by companies to make laws in their favour.

But hey, what’s the point of saving our planet anyway if we can’t maximize profits anymore?
