Because the Republicans played the populist game better. This is not the first or last time people will willingly vote their own downfall into power.

The same reason you like eating caramelised onions, but not onion skins.

System based exclusives meaning you might not be able to play a game you want to in the future, expensive subscriptiona needed to play online, push to digital DRM controlled games… it’s almost like consoles killed themselves?

I think it’s more nuanced than that as the technologies needs time to mature and the supply chains need time to establish. The price of renewables, especially solar and wind, has plummeted faster than anyone ever expected, so arguably it’s cheaper (economically) now.

There’s also the saying “the best time to buy a house is always 50 years ago, the second best time is now”. I don’t see much benefit in regretting yesterday’s decisions.

Little to none so far. This might change in the future, but not that quickly.

The additional renewable capacity added year on year is not enough to cover the additional electrical load, which originates mainly from 2 things: transport/infrastructure (including EVs, data centres, AI) & environmental loads (more heatwaves in populated cities, where people then need to cool).

As far as I understood, 2024 was a substantial year for the environmental side of the equation, otherwise additional renewables installations would have been able to cover just about all the additional power load.

I use this primarily, it’s more than enough for basic tracking and UI is good. A little unpolished at times, but I am yet to find anything on F-Droid which is better.

Thanks for the response! Is it limited to encoding services then, so if I’m only dealing with streaming common media file types (e.g. MKV, MP4) is it still a problem? I’m not dealing with a ridiculous amount of media, so I could outsource the encoding process alone if needed…

I’m specifically looking into this at the moment as I have been gifted a pi 5.

Most websites say avoid trying to host jellyfin on a pi 5 (codec and hardware issues are frequently noted). Do you have experience that shows these are non-issues?

Oh… :(

This is not correct. Bluetooth is a radio frequency communication tool. RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and does, in fact, "move’ at the speed of light.

I never stated any positive or negative association in my comment

*noses

Cocaine has also ruined many lives. Both are horrible and some people cannot control their consumption.

I was reading a story recently about an Italian plumber’s brother doing big things with less equipment.

No, it’s worse than that. Putin attended a wedding (in 2018, 5 months post Crimea annexation) of the then foreign minister [link].

They dissolved their government in 2019 after the then leader of the FPÖ told a journalist pretending to be a relative of an oligarch, that she could ensure positive coverage in exchange for government contracts. This might not be a direct link to a foreign enemy, but the corruption runs deep. [Link]

A senior quasi-secret service officer was discovered by the British to have been a spy for at least 7 years before he was apprehended. He was (cheaply) selling state secrets and providing information to the Russians… [link.]

You’ve got to love them 🇦🇹

Austria too!

Says it in the article:

The discovery of the missing data from the budget airline’s Boeing 737-800 jet’s crucial final minutes was surprising and suggests all power, including backup, may have been cut, which is rare.

And this is why it is too cheap to call these people idiots. They know exactly how to get the image they need and spin it to their advantage. AND they move faster than their lies.

I’m going to assume this comment is satire and not engage further than this.

I’m lost in the air travel debate and it sucks. Ignoring the strike and pilots specific concerns, IMHO:

• Emissions of flights are horrendous and will be viewed as barbaric in 30+ years. It needs to stop.
• Denying those of a lower income the opportunity to partake in air travel is also horrendous, and should not be the main mechanism to disrupt the industry.
• There are, in many cases, no alternatives to air travel, so it cannot be abolished.

Smarter regulation is needed, but the finite details will likely never suit a majority of people.
