Don’t forget the mayor was a republican. Free media is more important than republicans saving face.

Lemmy seems to be the old nerdy internet of the 90s, prior to the enshittification

Did anyone expect then to be impartial or a reliable source of health information?

Afaik NZ has already implemented such a rule.

Huh. I gave it a try, and while drunk, i just went on and on, but overall it just smelled so bad that it never became a habit. I guess i’m lucky

It seems that when a dictator’s interests differ from his countries interests, the entire country becomes foreign to him

Isn’t cheap land good for anything that involves land use?

We have the north sea, quite windy and shallow enough to build tall wind Mills.

Currently the power rating is up to 10 MW and the blades are over 100m (300ft) long.

I agree

I didn’t say density is the paramount parameter. Also, once you optimize one drawback, it generally gets less important.

I just wanted to put the image into context, and show that it isn’t a big step backwards, just sideways perhaps. Or in other words, a sigle wind farm isn’t relevant, the sum is

It’s about density. Renewables Are great, but not on terms of value add per square foot. The coal under the wind mill is worth orders of magnitude more than the windmill.

And, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In general, the number of windmills keeps increasing.

I’m absolutely not surprised.

Them and chemicals in general.

That actually makes a difference to me.

I think civil rights for minorities are super important.

I find marriage much less important. It’s essentially just a symbol. (Or is it about the tax benefits and legal protections in case of death? That’s substantial)

Well, legal rights depend on the law. So when arguing about the law it’s silly to refer to legal rights. It’s like conservatives who want to keep pot banned because it’s illegal.

What do you think about a triangular marriage with three people?

I’m pro gay marriage, and merely attempted to reconstruct the opposing logic, and apparently failed halfway through.

Now, whats homophobic about this? The fact that in general to people of the same sex won’t reproduce? That seems about as outrageous as the thought that obesity is a medical condition.

I disagree with the article. It appears to make two points, both don’t convice me.

The first one is about a political donation made by the founder 15 years ago to the tune of 1000 USD. It was against gay marriage. While I somewhat support gay marriage, I find it totally acceptable to be opposed to it. It depends on what marriage means, and people don’t agree on that. For some people it just means a strong bond, stronger than a normal relationship. With this definition, gay marriage isn’t an issue.

But to other people marriage is an envelope that’s supposed to foster reproduction and family building. With this definition gay marriage isn’t exactly straightforward. Neither should it be for people with fertility problems and women over 50 in general. Are convervatives also against that? I guess they should. Whatever. I started off thinking I could defend the stance, now i don’t think i did. Either way, ditch a browser over this nonsense?

And if Tim Berners Lee spews some BS, will you stop using the Internet? Or if your country elects a stupid president, will you boycott the country and leave temporatily?

The other issue is what Brave does with ads. While I agree it is imperfect, I think in general the approach is among the better ones around.

Feature request: an option to aggregate all comments of crossposted posts. It would save manually going through each crosspost

His statement isn’t really about the severity of the issue, he just says that people are prone to give up

suburbs take up less place than i expected

Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Operating nodes is expensive, offers no reward, and comes with a serious legal risk.

This won’t stop the NSA from operating a few. I assume that a significant portion of Tor nodes is run by intelligence agencies. If they control all nodes used for a connection(i believe three are used), they can probably piece together what connections a user is having.
