Would You Rather Give Up Meat Or Flying For The Environment?
  • I live in Germany, where high speed trains are the norm and traveling by train is pretty common. It's still much more expensive than flying. But at least it's getting faster and faster, to a point where it beats traveling by car or even plane. Munich to Berlin (600 km) in less than four hours, nothing can beat that.

  • Would You Rather Give Up Meat Or Flying For The Environment?
  • For me, both price and time are very compelling reasons to fly, unfortunately.

    The state of the environment is an even more compelling reason for me not to. But for many people it's not. That's why the price of flying must be raised enough, and alternatives like traveling by train must be made more attractive. So that there is enough reason not to fly for everyone.

  • Red Hat-proposed Fedora opt-out Telemetry is opposed by 74%. Red Hat is deeply involved despite naysayers.
  • If that is your stance, then there is literally zero privacy anymore. Zilch.

    If I'm walking down the street and somebody marks that one person walked down the street, does that invade my privacy?

    In that case, how does the concept of privacy even matter anymore? There is none, and there never will be.

  • Netflix kills Basic plan, making its cheapest ad-free tier $15.49
  • Even though many people suggest that, I don't believe you can compare any off-the-shelf streaming service with a self-hosted Plex.

    You have to find and download content to your Plex. You don't get recommendations. You don't get a built-in interface on your smart TV. You have to deal with network configuration, VPN, private trackers, seeding ratios etc.

    How on earth is that comparable to pressing the Netflix button on your TV and selecting a recommended show? Even my boomer parents managed to do this on their own.

  • NYT: Let them swim -- opinion peace about restoring rivers in cities with the example of the Isar

    MUNICH — The mesmerizing scene along the banks of Munich’s lime-green Isar River on a recent summer afternoon made me, an out-of-towner, quiver with envy. Clusters of students, off-duty office workers, families and nude sunbathers were sprawled out on blankets with bottled beer and light meals. Every so often, a swimmer or tuber passed by, carried by the swift current.

    In 2000, before the climate crisis accelerated, turning summers into slogs punctuated by a slew of heat records, the city of Munich undertook a sweeping restoration of the Isar, which flows north from the Alps through downtown and into the Danube. The 11-year, $38 million endeavor involved purifying the Isar’s waters, expanding its floodplains and modifying its banks to accommodate the torrential spring snowmelt.
