There are still many fish to fry with the catholic church, but having them on the good side gives me hope that we can still beat this.

I just love the EU. Not perfect of course, but this kind of stuff is great.

Fuck politico - actually time to block all links.

You’re yelling at me, I don’t represent the German government nor did I ever vote for anyone involved. Quite the contrary. I don’t like nuclear for reasons already outlined, you can look up the number yourself to disprove your feelings.

Got it.

It’s their main marketing thing.

But they have just become another reselling platform for dropshippers, selling the same plastic garbage you find for cents on AliExpress. Tolerated because selling it simulates growth. Their main competitor, as communicated internally, is Amazon. Those who pushed for cleaning up the site to focus on re-use were sacked.

Doesn’t mean you can still find good stuff there, but local classifieds are still the better choice.

Oh no, I didn’t realise you pay more for energy now. Of course then let’s build more nuclear power plants because they’re famously cheap to build, operate and maintain. You sound like all my favorite Germans suddenly outraged by war(crimes) because gas prices went up.

Electricity prices regularly go into the negative on windy/sunny days. It’s not me ripping you off with your energy bill. So instead of repeating populist rhetoric, I suggest you start yelling at your own government. We need to stop importing overpriced LNG and oil and continue to focus on renewables (for Sweden probably geothermal and hydro). Don’t worry, I’ll be doing the same here. Europe can figure this out together if we only start yelling at the right people.

It’s worth a try. We can’t afford any such accumulation of wealth and the power and influence that comes with it. Assets can go into the public hand, I don’t mind if that is managed by democratically elected representatives that are not corrupted like the majority in government now.

Yes it is, I would just like to encourage the frog to jump out rather than reduce the flame.

It’s time to cut billionaires and corrupt politicians in half.

But yes, the USD is loosing power and the strategy of printing more to cover their debt while the world is selling off their stockpile will quickly make inflation go brrrrrrrrr. So much winning

Not sure who you’re yelling at, your communication style is unnecessarily confrontational. I am rarely aligned with what the German government does, nor was I involved in any of the decision making. But I do believe that nuclear has no long term future, especially if we need to import uranium from abroad, specifically Russia.

Well maintained plants might be safe, but we see how every summer several need to be throttled down because cooling water is running out. Noone has figured out where we put the waste, in classic human fashion we bury it in the ground and hope someone will figure it out before that becomes its own disaster.

I don’t claim Germany has green energy, yet it made some significant progress in the past decade. Despite most governments repeatedly making the worst possible decisions. Like crippling the solar industry in the east or handing our tax money over to big oil and gas. Admittedly having to import most of our solar panels from China isn’t great either, but I prefer a once of purchase over a subscription.

ebay is slightly better, but in the end just another publicly traded company that treats their employees like shit.

Looking forward to the lineup running graphene

Fuck nuclear… it accounted for 6% of the energy mix (-ish… taking this number from memory) and we still don’t know what to do with the waste. Also it creates further dependence on acquiring uranium from Russia. So no, that did not make as big of an impact as many think.

I found that most mfa apps are not as proprietary as companies want to make you belief. My previous corp job wanted a specific one but copying the secret code into proton pass worked just fine.

Bro, nur noch ein Sondervermögen bitte. Für die Infrastruktur, bro. Bitte.

How so? They have differences under the hood, but so far I’ve used them the same way I would any VPN

Thanks for sharing, I don’t think this is much more. Corporate Dems are an issue and I wish I was in the timeline where Bernie became president. Saying Republicans are better (in 2025) is either extremely naive or insane. Either way, it does not give me the faith I would like to stay with Proton long term. Posting official stuff, pulling it back, now claiming neutrality… confidence is eroded enough.

I have the Duo plan until mid next year and see it as my inbetween from iCloud to self hosting most of my services. Currently trialing Mullvad for the VPN and it can keep up with Proton easily.

Happy to help with German. I used to get the LoseIt premium for free but haven’t used it in many years. I just assume it’s a privacy nightmare so haven’t bothered opening it. But I like the concept, just tracking helped me improve my diet and health.

And afaik that was it. It has been blown out of proportion many times since by people forming opinions based on headlines. If there was anythung else I’d like to know too though
