The laws of physics mean that no matter what we do with carbon capture it is never going to be cheaper and less energy to emit it and then capture it again. This is a foolish endeavour the focus should be on the green transition with Wind, Solar and Storage combined with ensuring infrastructure is there for Electric Vehicle transition. This is the sort of investment the fossil fuel wants governments to make that will have no impact and allow them to continue to emit.
Probably the only way they will get taxation money out of the tech giants given all the shady things they do to transfer the profits out of countries to evade taxes. VAT at least is a lot more obvious and harder to avoid although I don’t put it past them to start doing even shadier things.
Ultimately Google is going to do this to every customer in the end, its systems for detecting problems are buggy and you don’t get to speak to a human to fix the problem so a simple automated error becomes fatal. Its going to happen at some point and its a lot easier to migrate when it all still works than afterwards when it doesn’t.
Looks lovely. If it drives as well as Assetto Corsa and adds some of the modern physics features (which looks like with the puddles and night time) and it doesn’t loose any features it will be pretty popular. I am still hoping they will expand the features a bit especially on multiplayer game play and scheduled ranked servers.
Universities have been running Linux since the very early versions. Slackware was pretty common back in the 90s and 2000s and universities had labs full of them not least because there weren’t really laptops so they had to have enough machines for all the students. Universities have been heavily involved in the development of unix from its inception and a lot of the tools were initially written by university professors.
It got a lot of controversial press before its release and I can’t really recall hearing what the movie is about or it being any good.
I see a lot of confusion and misinformation in the comments about what Just Stop Oils demands are. Their website makes it very plain and you can read through the details yourself. The press has massively misrepresented the groups demands and goals so its best to read it for yourself. https://juststopoil.org/
These are the 3 demands they have.
✅ Demand 1: No New Oil and Gas Licences – WON!
🔥 Demand 2: Just Stop Oil by 2030.
🧡 We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
- Demand 1 they only just won when the UK government changed to Labour who have committed the first item, so all their previous actions were with the goal of not expanding yet further the use of fossil fuels.
- Demand 2 is to phase the use of fossil fuels out by 2030. The UK has a net zero goal of 2035 so this would bring that goal earlier but many other countries have a 2030 target in the EU.
- Demand 3 is all about trying to get a world wide treaty signed to stop the use of oil to try and meet the Paris agreement to keep within 1.5C.
There is no immediate demand to stop or anything so extreme, they are largely what the UK has already agreed to do but is failing to achieve.
Peaceful protests have not worked, disruptive protests have been widely villified and the protestors jailed for very long sentences. If you are facing 2-3 years for holding up a banner or throwing some paint seems like criminal damage of a fossil fuel facility isn’t likely to net more years. As many have said in the past governments ignore peaceful protests at their peril, because once its clear that doesn’t work they become not peaceful.
