They are worse on the environment then gasoline cars due to the rare earth materials needed to make a EV and it is harsher on the environment when it comes to dispose a EV once they reach end of life.

And all a EV car does is demand energy from a power plant which are either using coal or natural gas for the most part. The only "green" efficient power plant option out there is nuclear but no one wants to go nuclear.

If your concered about the climate and want to take that into account when getting a new vehicle. I always tell people to buy a used vehicle since it already exists and by driving a used car, your keeping it from being in a land fill and you save money buying used. Or the other best option is to get a bike or use public transportation.

And I do not see any difference with battery powered planes. I see more planes crashing due to using a new technology. Planes have come a long way and only gotten safer with years of engineering but by changing the power source to a battery over gasoline, unexpexted problems will like arise. Essentially do not fix what is not broken.

They showed us this kind of stuff back when I was in school. It is worse now how they put so much fear in the youth. This has not happened and never will happen.

There is LBRY/odysee and there is a small community for LBRY and odysee on lemmy.

Powering a plane with a battery sounds like a bad idea. Almost worst than EVs.

+1 for filen.

I am a Linux master race user. I don't use Windows.

Money printer go brrrrrrrrrrrr

Thanks for only banning the communities and not the entire instance as a whole. That is a much healthier approach to deferation.

Eventually I can see discord discontinuing their web client to push you users into installing their spyware.

Cash and other physical payment methods (Gold, silver, Goldbacks) are important. Same goes with email instead of phone numbers since email can essentially be free while phone numbers cost money to be registered and email is easily accessible on a computer and does not require a phone.

Yes, Most if not all power grids in Canada cannot handle adding mass adoption of EV charging on top of the grid.

The only solution to this is nuclear power plants, more coal power plants or more natural gas power plants.

And EVs are not the answer. Manufacturing a EV is worse for the planet then manufacturing a regular car and driving it for years. If you wish to be green, just buy any used gas car and you will be making a difference or get a bike.

Most people do not know that Telegrams E2EE is disabled by default and if I remember is not high end compared to what its alternatives offer.

It is good for privacy as long you do not install Google Play Services and also do not download any apps that is bad for your privacy. However GrapheneOS is a better option which additional security benefits.

Yes but hosting a "free speech instance" in a country without freedom of speech protections will be harder to run due to the lack free speech rights. I advise running such an instance in the US for this reason.

The users on the instance that are not US citizens have to in theory follow their local laws. Kinda like how a Russian or Chinese internet user needs to be cautious when using American social media.

Its volunteer work, not slave labour. If you work for a company developing OSS, just like any other job you can quit anytime.

If your going to run a free speech instance, I advise running the server in the US and using a server provider that is free speech friendly. It will also not hurt to use a domain registrar that is pro free speech. By running the server in the US, you got first amendment protection

Newpipe has been good for years.

I wish more VPN apps had this feature built in.

I never liked twitter and I hope elon either kills twitter or turns it into a large nostr relay.

Renaming it to X makes zero sense. Twitter is a good name, the blue bird is a good logo, it brand is well established. Reminds me how Elon nakes his kid to some symbol or something.
