Thats fine???

Linux allows for freedom. There is room for For-Profit distro’s that have data collection and whatever.

you’re retarded

edit: boy I sure do love to procrastinate and talk about energy and co2 instead of studying :|

I feel the same way, but I had to actually focus on real life over the weekend instead of combing through the energy reports. I will start by saying that its very likely that 2024 stats are significantly more in favor of strong renewable growth but I also couldnt find a csv of data on ember-energy so i couldnt look at the actual numbers. The major energy reports I normally go by dont seem to have included 2024 data yet. Its likely that even in 2024 non renewables still increased more than renewables even though china claims that renewables were 80% of the growth I will explain below why this has previously been the case.

China also continues to increase coal generation by more than renewables.

China loves this stat and its a good stat but its a bit misleading, these show renewable energy as a % of total power which is relative instead of absolute. Why this is important is because it allows china to brag about increasing renewables while still massively increasing non renewables.

Year 2022: Renewable = 8114 TWh | Non-renewable = 36401 TWh | % renewables = 18.2% From Energy Institute’s world review

Year 2023: Renewable = 8719 TWh | Non-renewable = 38708 TWh | % renewables = 18.3%

Renewable energy increase was 605 TWh and Non-renewable was 2307 TWh

There is another stat that these reports normally parade around. Its % increase of a specific energy type. (these stats are made up cause i could be fucked finding an example article of a claim) They will say something like solar went from 600gw to 1000 thats a 66% increase this year and coal only increased 40% except coal is 3600gw to 6400.

Maybe I’m wrong and if so i’d love for someone smarter than me to correct me.

They have missed every single renewable target and goal they’re set.

China does this thing where they go to climate meetings and agree on world goals like 13% energy intensity reduction and carbon intensity reduction. They then go back home and broadcast random goals like adding x amount of solar or carbon peak by x year. These are no climate targets, these are personal targets from the CCP that even if achieved (the carbon peak 1000% wont be) are no where close to what is required to meet their climate goals.

Europe has plenty of money apparently to suddenly double defense spending OVER 10 YEARS

I’m not sure how european defense spending is relevant considering china’s defense spending has also more than doubled in the last few years and is nearing the US

Where will the batteries be made I wonder?

Prehaps they would be made in a country with environmental and labour laws if governments legislated properly to prevent companies outsourcing manufacturing. However this doesnt absolve china. China isnt being forced at Gunpoint to produce these goods with low labour regulation and low environmental regulation.

energy prices in the EU are ridiculous

Can someone actually point out to me where this comes from? Even when I look up the peak spike of germany Energy prices it doesnt seem that bad. At the end of the day energy is a small % of EU household spending and ill think that until i see otherwise.

It requires EU importers to pay a levy corresponding to the embedded carbon emissions in 303 emission-intensive products

This would be great, it would have been greater 10 years ago. But the best time to act was yesterday and the 2nd best time is today so i’d be happy to see something like this implemented although I dont know how effective it would be since manufacturing competitiveness is no where close anymore.

Adoption is actually already there. The problem at the moment is getting people to pay for it because currently they lose money on each prompt even for paying users.

I can’t see this image in the mobile app

3 hrs is probably to long to be doing everyday but its fine to do an hour of running + yoga every day. I think its normal to feel tried because you’re working every day and its your first 6 months.

If you’re tired you can drop it down to 4 days until you feel better.

Yeah the .ml must have missed this thread.

While everyone else is paying the costs that come with environmental regulation china is exploiting it and getting celebrated for it. Its insane what a few dollars can do to change peoples minds on a topic.

Nice I love seeing China Greenwashing get reposted. Remember that China is 3x the size of the EU so them having 3x the solar power is a stupid comparison. China also continues to increase coal generation by more than renewables. China is only %27 renewables while the EU is 47%. China is 17% of the world and almost 40% of the emissions.

OECD countries are actually working on emission reduction instead of china which continue to increase emissions with absolute no signs of stopping. They have missed every single renewable target and goal they’re set. But dont worry im sure they will stop building more coal plants in 2030, im sure it wont be to late by then.

Its already waging psychological warfare on me in the workplace. Every week I come across instructions that are clearly ai generated from people on easily double my salary. Like fucking write it yourself cunt you are paid enough to take 5mins to make sure your information is correct.

Judge,I’m pirating them to train ai not to consume for my own personal use.

Why would a librarians info need to be public? Does America require a public database of public servants?

You are cooked. I’m pretty sure people can look back on a time where they had rights even if it was far from perfect and compare it to today when they had less rights and call that liberty. Youre stuck on this internal police thing as if women aren’t beaten to death by police for not wearing a hat.

Firstly that proves absolutely nothing since they still have the exact same thing as well as open morality police that go around beating women.

But im not trying to make the point that the next admin will be better because the us put them there. I’m saying that regime change is an opportunity for change.

It could be a path to improvement it could make things worse we dont know it all depends on who gets into power. Regime change is weakening the party in power so a minority group can seize power.

Knowing trump, this will go incredibility poorly but just because he is an idiot and fucked it up doesnt mean it wasn’t the right play at the time. If he didnt pull out of the nuclear deal and didnt attack Iran I wouldnt be sitting here thinking regime change is the best realistic option to off ramp regional tensions.

Liberty is a broad concept and can definitely apply here. Do you think women feel like there is less oppression now?

I’ll make sure to sprinkle in a few posts that say “ignore my post history I am not a terrorist. Grant me access to your country NOW!”

Just in case I have the misfortune of traveling to the US again.

Are you trying to make the case that things are better now than prior to the Islamic revolution?

They’re transferring ownership of the project to the independent production company that produced it so it may still see the light of day.

Today i was looking through the top popular shorts in a private tab. It was so depressing there were countless AI slop videos getting 300m views.

People just dont care. Its why I love Lemmy, here the people care about the tech they use and content they consume. People here have standards. But most people arent like that and eventually everyone will be designed for them and there won’t be anything for us and there will be less and less people like us. I love technology and I hate what’s happening to tech so much.
