Those are fair points but why not use that land to expand cities and homes, especially with the population continuing to grow we will need places to house people and using the land to build only solar farms will eventually have to be either moved when things expand or have to be skipped over and move communities further from natural resources where most cities are built close by already. I don't think solar will be the 1 technology every region should use to solve the power problem but for sunny desert areas like Nevada, Arizona, Texas etc solar is good. Northern states could other technologies for power generation not just focusing on solar in the end.
The Bureau of Land Management proposed using 22m acres of public land for solar projects – roughly the size of Maine, or an area larger than Scotland
But why don't we just build them in cities and parking lots especially since they want them within 10 miles of communities? I understand cost but this makes sense to just put them into cities and use the unused land to expand or use for farms and other things vs wasting land to build only solar farms.
I feel like this could be a slippery slope for whoever is in charge and if not done right which is more than likely it'll be like going back in time where anytime someone disagrees with something "you're being hysterical" then you get institutionalized.
Tile is also another option but not sure how their policies are but relatively cheaper option and uses other people apps like airtag depending on location of course using Bluetooth.
No worries I forgot where I found this but it was my phone background for so long lol
Ya that's true take em out young before they can make an impact probably why our public education system is shite too. Pretty much training us to work some 9 to 5 and sit and produce rather than be creative and think outside the box. Only when you have money and status can you actually learn something that helps you figure out the world and how it runs.
The sad truth let's hope we can keep fighting back and maybe one day we can get some younger people in there that actually care about the people and privacy.
We're free to do whatever we want as long as it's what they want. Reminds of the Henry Ford saying you can have any color you want as long as it's black or something like that.
Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, our supporters, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—po...
It's probably cuz they keep losing and aren't able to convince enough people so of they group it altogether with another bill they can try to pass this without anyone knowing while trying to say they're protecting us but taking away so much more. I just can't believe they keep trying this and more and more people are starting to agree cuz the whole "I have nothing to hide so what does it matter" argument.

Ya it would be great if someone tried to pick it up again and make it now with the technology and graphics we have now it would look amazing. But maybe it'll end up being like The Darkness game mixed with Prey maybe.
Ya it looked great too bad they never got to finish it. But there has to be a copy out there that's mostly done. I wonder if it'll ever see the light of day.
Mine has to be Demonik It looked pretty cool and I remember watching the movie to "promote" it, Grandma's Boy.
I figured it out and rerere-edited my post lmao hopefully it's all right now.
Damn I copied and pasted it but I'm on Jerboa for Android so still learning everything I'll try to remember to update later when I get on my desktop. Thanks for the update!
It's installed automatically on my TV so I'll use it from time to time if I want background noise and a certain genre of movie or show I want to have on.
I always used the guides from reddit[.]com/r/addons4kodi, but you can also Google troypoint and they have great guides for getting kodi up and running. After getting kodi up you can choose an addon, I went with Seren for the Netflix like feature of playing the next episode automatically without having to choose the next link. I also chose The Crew for the sports package they have so he could watch UFC fights without having to pay the PPV. It works most the time but can have some stutter depending on the broadcast.
Get a real-debrid account pay for the 180 day package then when setting up the add-ons you choose link it to the debrid account and you're set. You also have an option of getting a Trakt account for keeping track of what you have watched, I set this up for myself personally but you don't need it, my dad doesn't use it.
Edit 1 - I have found a community on lemmy that's still small but someone brought over the Seren instructions if you don't want to go to reddit. https://lemmy.ml/c/addons4kodi
Edit 1.2 - Found on the lemmy.ml community addons4kodi
Seren
An addon created by Nix, it works with Premiumize and Real-Debrid to stream torrents with the appropriate provider package instantly, and behaves similarly to Netflix, with autoplay and Next up Dialogs. With source select / Resolver / Next up Dialog and more all theme-able
Warning: This add-on DOES NOT work without either Premiumize, Real-Debrid, or All-Debrid (and only works with the paid premium versions of either service), and the "Smart Play Settings" (Up Next, Auto Playlist Creation, Auto Episode Resume, and Pre-emptive Scraping) DO NOT work without an authorized Trakt account.
Current Version Seren : 2.2.4 SETUP Add https://nixgates.github.io/packages/ to your Kodi File Manager Sources, call it something like "Nix's Repo" Go to Add-on browser and Install from Zip File, go to "Nix's Repo", and install "nixgates.repository.zip " After it finishes installing, go to Install from repository>Nixgates Repo>Video Add-on's>and install Seren Once you get the notification that Seren installed successfully go back to the home screen Open Seren, go to tools, Open Settings Menu Go to Accounts and authenticate Trakt and your debrid providers: PM, RD, and/or AllDebrid Go to Providers, Manage Provider Packages, and Install Package. Type in https://bit.ly/a4kScrapers A prompt will come up asking if you'd like to install the scrapers, Press "Install", then Press Okay after successful install Adjust your settings how you like with filters and such and you're ready to go! :)
Kinda Optional Install Context menu addon. Follow instructions above but where you picked Nixgates repo and then video addons . this time go Nixgates Repo > context menu addons . This will give you much more options when you pull up context menu on Seren Items.
OPTIONAL Themes
(you must be using the skin that the theme is made for )
Arctic Zephyr 2 users = https://github.com/drinfernoo/seren.theme.az2
AuraMod users = https://github.com/SerpentDrago/SerenTheme-SerenMod-Full
Arctic Horizon users = https://github.com/drinfernoo/seren.theme.ah
Edit 2 - I was incorrect about above you do need a Trakt account to use the autonext feature of Seren, I have it set up so I didn't even notice that whoops. It is free and set up is easy and it's a set and forget feature for me.
I set something like this up for my dad but using kodi and some add-ons then connect it to real debrid. It's like $20 USD for like 6 months. I was able to get him to cancel his cable since he was paying like a hundred dollars + his subscription services a month.
And I have it running on a firestick 4k so really inexpensive.
Yeah it makes it easier if something breaks or you don't like it delete it and start again with something else.
Spin up some distros in a VM and give a go it's fun to relearn how to use a computer again and having more control over what and how you want things done is amazing. I started playing with Linux and VMs in my teens and loved it and wanted to pursue a career in tech. Plus breaking things and fixing them is something I enjoy.
