  • Already mentioned this in a subcomment. Your graph is about CO² specifically. The oeko institut talks about emissions from lifestock, which is mostly methane and a very significant and potent overall contribution to global warming.

  • Yes, and Germany will probably not be too dissimilar. The difference in magnitude here comes from just looking at directly emitted CO² vs all greenhouse gase emissolns in general. If you add all those up, methane emissions particularly, the picture becomes a very different one. This is also what the oeko institur is talking about their post (emissions from lifestock), so it makes sense to care about that.

  • I don't update daily, but rather every once in a while

    Sounds like Slowroll could be for you then. Even if TW is updated infrequently, it's still a roll of the die whether that specific snapshot you will be updating to will be one of the rare ones that have some issues. In theory at least, Slowroll should fix that by trying to handpick some select promising snapshots. Whether that works out as intended in practice will remain to be seen of course, as backporting some security fixes ca of course also introduce potential instabilities.

  • Video Transcoder on F-Droid allows you to convert and cut videos at least, but it hasn't seen an update in ages and the cutting process isn't 100% precise, so you might end up with +- a second of what you intended.

  • The NED has been funding some NGOs for decades, so these groups, which prior to the sunflower movement mostly didn't even exist and didn't have an organizational structure to direct funds to in the first place surely were funded by them as well. Some absolutely impeccable and waterproof logic there.

  • The DPP wasn't even a very instrumental actor in the sunflower movement. It was largely student led and of those people that participated in it that went into politics, most went to different smaller parties. I lived in the country during the time that happened and to claim that foreign interference played any meaningful role is just absurd on its face. Maybe don't try patronizing entire populaces from afar as if they somehow weren't able to make their own decisions and come to their own conclusions.

  • Well they basically tried that already. They tried to strike up a trade agreement with the then ruling conservative power that would give China significant economic and thus political influence. But the Taiwanese people were smart enough to see through that. There was a popular uprising, the legislative building got occupied by student protestors, the agreement was retracted and the then president lost the next election in a landslide.

  • Also you really don't need to reiterate a very obvious typo. Ideally the goal here should be to have some form of dialogue that works towards the goal of understanding each other better and increasing knowledge, not ridiculing each other. It's pretty poor form imo.

  • Well not compared to the current situation, but that it would possibly be an increase compared to the most civilian sparing scenario. Obviously the situation should be deescalated to the maximum amount possible, but I don't think it's a realistic scenario to assume that if the current main aggressor (Israel) were to cease military action completely, no more civilian lives would be lost.

  • Innocent human lives. (Which the Jsraeli government is of course also carelessly discarding. But that's why I think Sanders' position is the most reasonable. We should definitely demand Israel greatly reduce the military force it's exerting, but a total ceasefire might not be entirely realistic)

  • The reason those predator species got killed to near extinction is probably a bit more broad and ugly than just concern for lifestock.

    But you're correct of course that the main reason for the current overpopulation of many non-invasive species is a lack of predators and they should be reintroduced. But that's also not a thing that can happen from one day to the next, so even in the most optimistic scenarios some degree of human wildlife management still has a purpose.
