The problem is that we are talking too little about actually quantifying this. You make pretty bold statements that sound good, but that contain not much we can use to guide policy decisions. And that matters.
How much will we suffer? For how long? How much will the climate impacts cost, how much adaptation measures, how much will avoidance cost? In terms of money, human lives and living conditions. Who is impacted? We have to put numbers if we want to find an optimum solution.
but also much more vulnerable. I guess they know what they’re doing and do the best with what they have
why not make them submersible with just a snorkel and antenna sticking out
Yes, technically it’s not really about the planet or the environment, or society. It is about finding a solution of an optimum between money spent and living conditions for the majority of people. I actually think we should start talking about it more from that angle.
We could go to almost zero emissions tomorrow but it would wreak absolute havoc and billions of people would die. We could go full zero carbon emissions in our energy grid, but it would cost an absolute shitton, which means the living conditions go down. More realistic is a mix of investments between avoidance and adaptation. And I don’t think there is any realistic chance without nuclear energy.
They turned them into combustion cars.
genau, besser wäre Atomkraftwerke immer Volllast laufen zu lassen und dann wenn zu viel Strom im Netz ist Wasserstoff zu produzieren. Hat auch den Vorteil, dass man einen Teil der Aktivierungsenergie über Abwärme abdecken kann. Wesentlich sinnvoller als Gaskraftwerke zu bauen die die meiste Zeit still stehen.
Ideologiegetriebener Wahnsinn
was a joke, but I’d be impressed if a bot could give such a good description
“The Day Reddit Died” (Sung to the tune of American Pie):
Once upon a cyber-age, I still can vibe With how Reddit used to make me feel alive. Dropping my content, catching people’s gaze, Maybe even making their day less of a maze.
Then came u/spez, making me shudder, With each update, worse than the other. Dreadful news hitting like a bolt, API calls suddenly worth a gold vault.
Third-party apps couldn’t bear this mess, Every step closer to distress. Did I tear up, I can’t recall, When I read about Apollo and RIF’s fall? But something hit me, like a landslide, The day that Reddit died.
Chorus: “Hey there, u/spez guy, Thought you’d be Reddit’s MVP, But we know that’s a sky-high lie. Just a plain Joe with stars in his eyes, Saying ‘Soon, I’ll be the big prize guy!’”
Did you overhaul the subreddit’s code, So only John Oliver’s pics rode? And NSFW content became the play, With OnlyFans girls leading the way?
Remember the mod strike that caused a quake, Threats of being expelled, no give, all take. Admins kicked out the mod crew, In their place, a monkey zoo.
That was the day Reddit died.
Chorus: “Hey there, u/spez guy, Thought you’d be Reddit’s MVP, But we know that’s a sky-high lie. Just a plain Joe with stars in his eyes, Saying ‘Soon, I’ll be the big prize guy!’”
Then June 30th dropped like a bad meme, Despite the Reddit community’s scream. Third-party apps posted their farewell, Users all around began to rebel.
The day that Reddit died.
And as they bailed from Reddit’s sinking ship, They were singing: “Hey there, u/spez, you sly guy, Thought you’d be Reddit’s MVP, But we know that’s a sky-high lie. Just a plain Joe with stars in his eyes, Dreaming ‘One day, I’ll be the big prize guy.’”
should have just asked ChatGPT to do it
if a reddit user is called redditor, what’s a lemmy user called?
just make public universities cheaper, private sector will feel the competition and lower prices.
Check out dev container in VSCode. Even better with Codespaces from Github. You can define the entire environment in code, including extensions, settings, and startup scripts along with a Docker container. Then it’s just one button click and 5 min wait until it’s built and running. Once you have built it you can start it up and suspend it in seconds, toss it out when you don’t need it, or spin up multiple at once and work on multiple branches simultaneously.
Because it costs money. It’s not just “jobs”, it’s actual time and effort that we can’t spend on other things, which ultimately increases prices and means fewer people can afford things. And while in the West that means maybe cutting back a little, in other regions it can mean a life in poverty and premature death.
