  • The fossil industry, which earns 1 billion dollars a day since the 1970s, won’t go down without a fight. They are very powerful, able to start wars and overthrow governments. These fossil destroyers know they are dying, but they will fight back to make money as long as possible. The best we can do is drain their business model by going renewable, and fast. Nuclear is not an option anymore, they know that as well, it’s already way too expensive. But they use it anyway to buy some time. Making more money while we are debating instead of building renewables and batteries like our lives depend on it.
    I already imagine Henry Ford after building his first cars. People would laugh at him: “And how do we fuel these?! You want to pave every road and build a web of gas stations all over or country? You are insane!”


  • Again: This is just the beginning! We’re like five years into an energy revolution and you are drumming against it because you’re “not convinced”, rooting for stuff we already discarded because it’s uncontrollable and will poison our planet for centuries. Get out of the way, boomer!

    Germany has over 400 MW of solar-plus-storage projects under development, with notable installations like a 100 MW/200 MWh battery system in Bavaria. This is way more than even the green minister of economic affairs set as a goal for 2045. California leads globally with 6,600 MW of battery storage already operational and an additional 1,900 MW expected by year-end, totaling 8,500 MW. By 2045, California aims to expand its capacity to 52,000 MW. Australia is also scaling rapidly, with around 9 GW of utility-scale battery projects underway or completed. Soon EV batteries get to feed energy back into the grid, we’re becoming one huge decentralized batterie mosaic. It’s gonna be beautiful!




  • Another problem arises when you’re generation 63.688 after today and still have to keep maintaining deadly waste from nations that don’t exist anymore, because they produced “cheap” and “clean” energy for a couple of decades.
    Come on, Jesus died like 2000 years ago, this stuff will haunt us for centuries. Arguing in favor of nuclear energy is just selfish and shortsighted.



  • Foobar! I tweaked it for years to be as simple yet powerful as possible. It counted plays, the date when songs were added and last played, which is lost now. It had a beautiful waveform-view I miss every day. And it converted and renamed files exactly as I told it to. I found some workarounds, but nothing comes close. Rhythmbox is good but misses the waveform view. Other applications are beautiful but offer too much bells and whistles, I like it simple. Feel free to recommend stuff!


  • I was a windows fanboy for more than 20 years. Going back every couple of months feels strange. Windows has changed, feels intrusive and uncandid to me. Linux is still new and sometimes a little strange to me, I miss my perfectly customized music player but apart from that, it’s so much fun to use. I can’t ever go back. Looking at Windows-user struggling makes me unconformable because i know they will never experienced how using a free OS feels like. They are so used to smartphones and computers shoving stuff down their throats instead of being the best tool you can come up with.





  • I dual boot for two years, because I need a special software for work every couple of months. I mounted my old windows drive in Linux and soft linked it from my Linux home directory. So if I go to home > documents I see my new documents, plus there is a “documents archive” folder, that takes me to my windows drive with it’s older documents. I added these soft links to my music, pictures as well. This works great.
    I never experienced any problems with windows destroying my boot options. I’m not an expert, but managed to setup GRUP to instantly boot Linux (Mint). If I want windows, I need to push the boot menu key (F11) and actively select it. Otherwise I don’t even notice it’s even there.







  • 10+ years vegan here. You should not feed plants to a carnivore. Maybe in the future, but not today. I attended a PETA workshop about a healthy plant-based diet a couple years ago and everybody agreed on that. I met a lot of different vegans and not once have I heard this opinion.

    Keep your goddamn morals out of other’s lives. Especially an animal that has no say in the matter.

    You are on to something here.
