Another issue is that they're civilians. You could bomb their facilities but bombing civilians, especially when they're your own citizens, is a pretty bad look.

Yeah, kinda wondering why the cartels want her in office. Maybe she's less good than she appears.

Also wondering why anyone would want to lead Mexico given that angering the cartels will get you cartel'd...

I hope for your sake that they govern well. I've heard that your new prime minister is an independent. Do you think that will help temper the far right coalition?

The lemy.nl instance. But I've just read that it might just be a bunch of bots, so :(

Oh, maybe this is what I'm seeing. :/

It seems like a lot are on lemy.nl.

As for Canada, we're having a lot of problems. Unaffordable housing, food inflation, so on and so forth. Doesn't seem like things will get better for a while, either. How goes it over there?

No, I just mean so much of it is in Dutch, on a .nl instance, or both.

How's it compare to alacritty?

What's the Android emu you're using?

And yet for a plethora of regions it's the only viable alternative to fossil fuels for reliable electricity.

I wouldn't call it worse than renewables. It's a sidegrade from coal burning. Where I'm from, solar is non-viable 6 months of the year. Wind is theoretically viable year-round but in reality it's less than that due to cold snaps and the intermittent nature of wind. And there's no way that wind power alone could provide enough power even when running at 100%. There are no viable rivers here for hydro either. Geothermal is nigh impossible here as well. So without a reliable back-up power source, everyone here would be experiencing brown outs on a fully renewable system. Many wouldn't receive power at all due to a significant rural population and the challenges inherent to it (and forcing people into cities is not a viable option). So the only options are fossil fuels and nuclear. Given that we're killing everything with the former, I would much prefer we give the latter a go.

Aside from flattening a city, what exactly would you do with nuclear technology? How do you think we could capture the energy from fission without boiling water?

Look, friend: as much as I like nuclear energy and decentralization of the powder grid, per home reactors could never, ever work. For the simple reason that the majority of us filthy apes are complete idiots. Furthermore, nuclear works currently because it has oversight by educated, trained professionals in a setting where oversight can be effective. Even if you had some sort of travelling nuclear engineer that would check up on your garage reactor, if anything ever went wrong with it then the response time would be too long to adequately deal with the situation.

The only way a distributed network of reactors could work is if it either had massive overhead or if literally everyone had training on the maintenance of a nuclear reactor. And this isn't even mentioning the possibility of adverse weather events potentially damaging the reactor or how the waste would be dealt with.

Yet another nail in the coffin of rule of law.

DDG is basically a (supposedly) privacy-conscious front-end for Bing. Searxng is an aggregator. Kagi is the only one of those three that uses its own index. I think there's one other that does but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

It's like the difference between being given a grocery list from your mum and trying to remember what your mum usually sends you to the store for.
