Die Tafel alleine braucht doch bestimmt schon mehr als 1000W…

I like the idea of protecting children from algorithms that make you addicted and lead to doom-scrolling. But you don’t to that by restricting the individual, but by restricting the corporations.

I hate this. What if I wanna cover my face to evade facial detection? That’s illegal now?

There’s actually a pretty good reason why they don’t do that. Media attention. Most acts of activism are ignored. Only extreme things make it into the media (sadly). Anything short of blowing up the pipeline won’t get them media attention. How do I know that? “Letzte Generation”, a German activist group did shut down a pipeline, but nobody bothered to report about it.

What I’m hearing is that people have an inert desire for privacy, EVEN if they don’t have anything to hide (what are you hiding in the toilet?) I don’t see why that wouldn’t extend into the digital realm…

I look forward to a future where the elites stop playing monopoly against each other. Who cares if we’re competitive?

That’s why open source rules

I often hear people saying “But where does the electricity for the EV come from? Driving an EV is not better than driving a diesel.”

They have to realize that the thiny ICE in your car is optimised for weight, and has an efficiency of 30-35%. So about ⅔ of the fossil fuel is turned into heat and blown out of the exhaust. Compare that to the turbine in a coal or gas plant, which can archive up to 90% efficiency.

And don’t forget that an EV is an investment, which will likely still be on the road in 20 years time. The electricity mix at the moment is still rather fossil fuel heavy, but this will change completely within the next 10 years.

Edit: not 90% but 40% efficiency. See comments below

I hate how they cut off the graph…

Everytime someone says they don’t have anything to hide I ask them what the pin of their phone is and to give me their phone. Suddenly that’s something different…
