In Spain we are starting to get negative prices every weekend for electricity thanks to renewables. France is not even close to those prices with their bet for nuclear.

Don't get me wrong, I love nuclear power. And I'm not a big fan ok what thousands of windmills made to our landscapes. But efficiency wise renewable is unbeatable nowadays.

I just think:

how many living species have been on earth? Millions probably

How many of those species are intelligent? 1

How long have this intelligent species been around? Nothing at a cosmic timescale.

How many of this intelligent species have become "interstellar"? 0

I don't think those numbers can be extrapolate, even to the observable universe, to ensure that there are any species capable of interestellar travel around. Living species and even intelligent ones? Maybe. But a long lasting inteligent and interestellar species? We are not an example of that, so we have 0 examples to extrapolate. Only our wishful thinking that humanity will last longer and keep progressing, but that is just a hope, not real yet.

One does not simply walk into mordor, you piece of shit.

Thanks! I was looking for the instructions on how to start a pandemic.

To understand nazis religion it is important to understand religion in germany.

Back in the day, and today is similar in former west Germany, Germany had a fairly even split between catholicism and protestantism.

So the nazi party taking a strong religious dogma either way would had been very harmful towards their objectives, as half the population could refuse to follow a catholic/protestant movement. That's why their leader and the party didn't really seemed to take a strong religious stance. But at the end they were linked to the conservative values that are associated with religion. And his allies, Spain and Italy. Both formed fascist dictatorships very linked with the Catholic church, being their countries homogeneous in that aspect. In fact Spanish dictatorship is often refered as national-catholicism, and Mussolini had full support from the Vatican and the Pope.

At the end fascism, in whichever form and name it takes, tend to link with conservative values that are usually also linked with religion. The nazi party being just an exception due Germany particular religion situation.

I suppose it would be a very boring movie if all actors were just asleep the whole time.

I do miss being younger and happier.

I do self host several AI applications for myself on a low end device and I think for most lowend even mid devices local AI is unfeasible. Nowadays is too much resource heavy and times are too long without high end devices.

For my computer generating a description of a picture (one of the firefox new features) could easily take up to 5-10 minutes with the cpu at 100%. That's just not viable for doing while browsing.

Anyway I would love for firefox to open source the server side of this. So in case someone have s computer powerful enough they could do it locally if they want to.

Could anyone give a brief sum up of what are these games about?

I know is a famous series and I think is a fantasy rpg but I don't know much more about them or why are the so well regarded.

My favourite videogame "oddworld" got a remake and I despise it with all my heart.

Since them no remake for me. I'll just keep enjoying the originals.

Libraries where good for before the XXI century. Nowadays the amount of content they had is pretty small. Most libraries don't really has anything but the more famous books.

There's no stopping climate change in capitalism.

And nothing was done in the way of ending capitalism. Asking "pretty please stop using oil we will paint things" to a capitalist government is ridiculous. The only way to end emissions is being us the ones who control the industry.

So, from my point of view was a useless, possibly counter productive, action.

We live in a system that actively prevents humans to get more knowledge, go figure.

Hot take: Sports are not that important, and it's not the end of the world if someone in the other team is "physically better" than you.

Sports should be just played for fun and for making exercise, not as a profession. And the whole sports industry should be taken down all together. Make all sports amateur and just for the fun of it and suddenly it really doesn't mather who is on your team or in the other team.

I'm not a US citizen.

Anyway I would not start doing that kind of reasoning. I know it's with good intentions. But it gives space to those who want to say that some group of people are bad just because a collateral reason.

What if statistics would say that inmigrants do more crime? What if someone make a logical reason justifying that moving for one place to another makes you a bad person?

I prefer not entering into that arguments. Each person should be judged by it's actions, and not by which racial, national or any other not related group they belong.

Also, I refuse to be called "worse" just because I did not emigrated, just saying.

Being inmigrant does not make you neither good or bad.

You can be inmigrant and a good person, and you also can be inmigrant and a bad person.

Being inmigrant just means that you moved from one country to another. Anything else about your person, good or bad, shall be judged by your other actions.

No everything has to be for profit in this life.

I've no contract with them, I've not made any purchases. They post something online for anyone to see.

They are completely free of locking their content behind a paywall, there are plenty of platforms for that.

But I want to make my first statement clear: no every single thing any human being does has to be done just for the sole purpose of getting an economical profit. That would be the death of humanity.

I still remember 90s internet when we had tons of websites with lots of content that was just there because the creators were fans of such content, no further intentions. Barely any ads or monetization whatsoever. The 'shark' mentality is killing internet.

I'm glad they came out as what they already were.

It was clear that they did not feel as a non-profit foundation for many years now.

I've been way more than a decade (closer to two decades) uninterruptedly using Firefox. I've never used chrome as a my main browser, ever.

But still, I'll be naive if I didn't recognize that this kind of shit will affect me even if it's just indirectly.

Next year they'll surely will be forcing many webs only working in "manifest V3 compliant browsers". I'm sure of that.

Way into my thirties, I'm still dreaming about school many nights.
