The far-left are not the cause of the nuclear close down, nor are they unilaterally holding the government hostage in this area.

The centre-left party made the agreement with the power companies in 2019 when they were not yet in coalition, for economic reasons.

The far-left, now in the coalition, does consider nuclear a red line. It is unknown what the cost of crossing it would be. But I believe it's irrelevant, because if the centre-left party would be governing alone, they wouldn't walk back the agreement now. No matter price of oil, the investment in nuclear has a too large price-tag, and would take way to long to reap any benefits. If any - given the current progression on renewables.


Will we never learn to stop. Building. On. Platforms.

Not. Until. Federated. Services. Don't. Suck.

I prefer car analogies

Yes what's happening is totally normal, everybody does it all the time.


Because we can't foster good humans, the latter is inevitable.


What do you mean by "we"?


Humanity.


Should we allow kids to get cigarettes? Cocaine? Should all parents "just" be better parents and problem solved?


You can run rust on kindles, so you don't need a separate webserver. You can fetch stuff and render the image directly on the kindle. Second hand kindles can be very cheap.

However, I would now go for some ~100€ e-ink that is built for hacking.


They have only filter out the morons, though.


Most likely they don't want to. It's ridiculous that you would need to give your phone number for some chat program.


Is it? In a world full of LLMs and limited privacy preserving verification methods?

Unless we come up with a global, double blind cryptographic government ID system, this is the reality of the internet.


It doesn't really solve spam in a meaningful way in practice.


Yes it does


I still see a constant barrage of spam messages, direct or group.


> people who have to create "wealth"

most people don't "create wealth". They're forced to serve up half of their awake time to someone that is "wealthy", most likely through inheritance.


Most people do create wealth. That is exactly how those wealthy people become wealthy - by having someone create wealth for them, and then appropriating most of it.


Let's be clear: the appropriation mostly consists of leveraging existing (inherited) wealth and other social privileges.


Leveraging ownership of capital, more specifically.

But lest we forget, all this wealth is still protected by people with guns. These days, those people normally work for the state rather than directly for the wealthy, but the latter can also leverage their wealth to steer politics such that the state does violence on their behalf to protect their property as needed.


And now they're forced to serve up some of their awake time to artists


What fraction of that time goes to subsidizing the exponentially wealthier? We could just tax the hell out of the rich and and make better lives for the vast majority of us, while wealth hoarders still get to “win” at the game of life.


That's whataboutism.

>We could just tax the hell out of the rich

Then they leave your country...however if someone could make it international....
