  • I didn't say density is the paramount parameter. Also, once you optimize one drawback, it generally gets less important.

    I just wanted to put the image into context, and show that it isn't a big step backwards, just sideways perhaps. Or in other words, a sigle wind farm isn't relevant, the sum is

  • It's about density. Renewables Are great, but not on terms of value add per square foot. The coal under the wind mill is worth orders of magnitude more than the windmill.

    And, it's not as bad as it sounds. In general, the number of windmills keeps increasing.

  • I'm absolutely not surprised.

  • Them and chemicals in general.

  • That actually makes a difference to me.

    I think civil rights for minorities are super important.

    I find marriage much less important. It's essentially just a symbol. (Or is it about the tax benefits and legal protections in case of death? That's substantial)

  • Well, legal rights depend on the law. So when arguing about the law it's silly to refer to legal rights. It's like conservatives who want to keep pot banned because it's illegal.

    What do you think about a triangular marriage with three people?

  • I'm pro gay marriage, and merely attempted to reconstruct the opposing logic, and apparently failed halfway through.

    Now, whats homophobic about this? The fact that in general to people of the same sex won't reproduce? That seems about as outrageous as the thought that obesity is a medical condition.

  • I disagree with the article. It appears to make two points, both don't convice me.

    The first one is about a political donation made by the founder 15 years ago to the tune of 1000 USD. It was against gay marriage. While I somewhat support gay marriage, I find it totally acceptable to be opposed to it. It depends on what marriage means, and people don't agree on that. For some people it just means a strong bond, stronger than a normal relationship. With this definition, gay marriage isn't an issue.

    But to other people marriage is an envelope that's supposed to foster reproduction and family building. With this definition gay marriage isn't exactly straightforward. Neither should it be for people with fertility problems and women over 50 in general. Are convervatives also against that? I guess they should. Whatever. I started off thinking I could defend the stance, now i don't think i did. Either way, ditch a browser over this nonsense?

    And if Tim Berners Lee spews some BS, will you stop using the Internet? Or if your country elects a stupid president, will you boycott the country and leave temporatily?

    The other issue is what Brave does with ads. While I agree it is imperfect, I think in general the approach is among the better ones around.

  • But competition. If there's another app that pays out 80%, it will have more drivers and be cheaper.

  • I guess his ex wife will need to fund methane capture programs now to tidy up his mess

  • I never expected ride hailing apps to save money. Where from? Taxis were never a high margin business with some superfluous middleman.

    Could there be some decentralized ride hailing platform?

  • The money isn't gone, it's just changed hands

  • Do you mean phone batteries? Cause they are often cycled at least once a day. If you drive your ev for 500km a day, yes, don't expect it to last five years. But I would think an ICE car would handle that either.

  • Current batteries can do 1000- 3000 cycles before the capacity drops below 80%.

    With ranges of several hundred km this gives us hundreds of thousands km of lifetime mileage, if not a million.

    Most ICE cars don't get that far either.

  • Just set your expectations right, and chat it's are great. They aren't intelligent. They're pretty dumb. But they can say stuff about a huge variety of domains

  • Feature request: an option to aggregate all comments of crossposted posts. It would save manually going through each crosspost

  • No, i actually meant to be constructive. Nevermind

    I just wanted to point out that we have choice. Though it seems redundant, because everyone who end up on Lemmy should know that

  • Well, then go to a nice community, perhaps even a different instance.
