Your estimation goes way off because you still believe lithium ion to be the only viable solution. By now Sodium-Ion batteries are already installed even in EVs and can be produced without any critical resource like lithium.

And then of course there are all the other storage solution. Like I said, there even are storage solutions like concrete balls. Successfully tested in 2016, here an article from 2013.

By now it wouldn't be wise to stifle this enormous emerging market of various technologies by using expensive, problematic technology (not just because the biggest producer of fuel rods is Russia).

I think you underestimate how much storage power is currently being build and how many different technologies are available. In Germany alone there currently are 61 projects planed and in the approval phase boasting a combined 180 Gigawatts of potential power until 2030. Those of them that are meant to be build at old nuclear power plants (the grid connection is already available there) are expected to deliver 25% of the necessary storage capacity. In addition all electric vehicles that are assumed to be on the road until 2030 add another potential 100GW of power.

Of course these numbers are theoretical as not every EV will be connected to a bidirectional charger and surely some projects will fail or delay, however given the massive development in this sector and new, innovative tech (not just batteries but f.e. a concrete ball placed 800m below sea level, expected to store energy extremely well at 5.8ct / kilowatt) there's very much reason for optimism here.

It's also a funny sidenote that France, a country with a strong nuclear strategy, frequently buys power from Germany because it's so much cheaper.

I don't get you US americans with your political stuff, your terminology seems to be all over the place. Today democrats are libertarian, next day it's the republicans. This is literally authoritarianism at play by definition, their liberties are taken away. And where does the evil left come from, that state seems to be run by Republicans, i.e. extreme rightwing.

I mean, ever since your election the whole world knows your politics is broken beyond repair, but this is still bloody confusing to read.

The Element Matrix client in a nutshell.

Rofl, go touch some grass. Both US and China are shit and full of propaganda, China just doesn't allow anyone to cover the negative stuff or even talk about it, not even in private chats. To think one would be inherently better than the other these days is just cringe. Not to mention this meme.

Only five missing dependencies, ten configuration mistakes and three compiler errors to go.

It's a US "non-profit". One that demands 19$ per article which they merely provide as aggregator, they don't own shit.

Utterly absurd.

A third one is being worked on silently (Linux Mobile), however that will most likely only be a niche choice for those who already ain't being caught and locked into Silicon Valleys "products". Due to its very nature there is no VC money involved and therefore no big fanfare planed, even when finished.

It's still very much a dev platform right now, even though the Pinephone is freely purchasable.

And with "AI" this will only get worse. How much disk space will "Recall" snatch for their keylogger again, about 32gb?

This. I wholeheartedly concur that corporate "social" media is fucking shit up like hell, however as long as people are socially stuck there they will be around, as as long as that is the case people who need to make a living will have to roll out stuff and communicate with people there.

In fact this is specifically the kind of tool a friend and me looked for but couldn't find as FOSS until now, although we'd definitely need support for the Mastodon API / Lemmy.

One may argue which platforms to choose (depending on what you want to show people or who you want to reach). But completely abandoning garbage platforms ain't possible right now, especially for small businesses who need to be seen somewhere.

Celebrating selfishness and deception is just that, no matter how warped the perception of a theoretical majority of people might be. Perpetuating such nonsense will only cause more harm in the future. It's not a sign of good behaviour or even mental health to be well adapted to a broken system.

So yeah, not "smart". Disgusting.
