A lot of people will be happy not to have windows update asking to restart the computer anymore.

I see that as a great opportunity for journalism.

On the other hand the artillery mounted on trucks seems to be quite effective.

Stuff like the Caesar can park, fire 6 shells and leave in less than 3 minutes.

Also, having nuclear in a 100% low carbon grid is great to stabilize the grid.

A French study showed that having around 13% of nuclear in the grid reduce the solar and battery capacity needed by a factor of two compared to no nuclear.

Burning wood is extremely important for reaching 100% renewable.

It’s one of the only pilotable renewables energy. Even with a lot of battery there is still long period with very little sun and wind that will require to fire up a thermal power station.

Wood is a very good candidate for that.

200 years with current technology.

With breeders reactors such as superphenix built in the 90s you can multiply this amount by almost a 100.

After a millennia if we still rely on the same technology and we start to worry about the supply we can start seawater extraction of uranium. Seawater extraction is not considered economically viable right now but it as the potential of bringing the supply nuclear reactors for another few billions years.

So from a practical point of view it could be considered as renewable or close to it.

Isn’t it what particle accelerator are doing already? From my understanding the CERN is colliding particles and some of the energy from tge collision is turned new particles.

I’ve lost some of my sanity reading this !

Except if it’s Maple syrup, in this case the cup is probably a Canadian cup. One Canadian cup is 0.96076 US cup.

Imperial is great !

A lot of french cities are limited to 30km/h. It reduces the number of fatal accident, promote alternative mobilities and some studies showed that it actually increase the average car speed.

Lowering the maximum speed reduces the amount of traffic so in fine even if the maximum speed is reduced the travel time by car is reduced too.

If we play “I would rather”, I would rather have a nuclear waste facility than a copper, lithium or cobalt mine in my garden.

The transition to renewables energy will requires A LOT of mining and mines are awful for the environment.

At least with nuclear waste we can try to contain it, mining waste is just left in the open and pollute the land and water with heavy metals.

We don’t talk much about the environmental impact of mining because it mostly impact low income country and there is no clean mining, so the only way to reduce the impact of mining is to reduce our consumption, but no one wants to hear about that. Globally we prefer pretending that we can transform our consumption to be sustainable

The only clean energy is the one that we don’t use, after that there is just a list of less worse alternatives, nuclear, solar and wind are on the “less worse” category but they still have a terrible impact on the environment.

No trust in servers Persistent security even in case of a compromised server

From Olvid website

They are advertising the fact that the security does not depend on the server.

I don’t know what is worth.

Also it’s developed by a French company, I think this is the main argument for the French government, they want to have options that does not rely on US companies.

Tailscale is amazing, I work with a small company and we were battling with our IT contractor to have a VPN running for remote work.

After a while of things not working as it should I just set up tailscaled because I was using it with my home server and it just works.

We are now on a paid plan and everyone else is using it when working remotely.

Internet can make people smarter, if they actually want to get smarter.

Yes, this particular ratio allows the fact that you can fold a A3 paper in two and get two A4 sheet

NixOS too. I really like having a “fresh” install every time I restart.

No you don’t understand, you watch the ads while the AI is watching the video for you.

I feel like having to replace charging cords is an Apple issue specifically.

I’m horrified by the amount of time my wife had to replace her Mac charger because the cord was breaking.

I don’t think I ever had to replace the cord on any of my laptop, replacing the charger because the cord is breaking has never been a consideration before.

A friend in high school gave me an Ubuntu live CD and told me I should try it.

This is the case in France. Minimum wage is automatically adjusted to inflation every year.
