it’s guaranteed to be irreversible in 20 minutes

How is that a good thing? I want to be able to chargeback if I don’t get what I ordered.

Those reactors were ancient and, even without the nuclear power phaseout, they would’ve needed to be replaced. And contrary to popular belief, they were replaced with renewables, not fossil fuels. The choice was build wind turbines and solar panels and upgrade the grid or spend the same amount of money on building nuclear reactors that still rely on imported fuel that needs to be mined in some third world country in an extremely environmentally destructive way and that, regardless of design, produce nuclear waste.

Yes, the constant Muscovite sabre-rattling is why NATO countries are starting to take their militaries seriously again.

A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).

To be fair, the hardware is excellent. Overpriced as hell, especially considering that you can’t upgrade it yourself and the prices Apple charges for RAM and storage are ridiculous, but you can’t really argue with the quality. The locked-down, inflexible software and basically forcing you buy into the whole ecosystem if you want your devices to work together is the issue.

No. But if your actions aid a fascist takeover you are either a fascist or a useful idiot.

It did. Boring bounty hunting that sends you to the same five dungeons on repeat, but bounty hunting nonetheless.

Pretty sure Creation Club downloads are just normal plugin files, no cracks should be needed to load them you just need the files from somewhere.

The 70+ age group was the one the AfD performed worst in. It’s young people voting fascist here in Germany, the old folks vote CDU because that’s what they’ve always done.

Legality and morality aren’t necessarily the same.

They probably prefer consumers running pirated Windows over consumers running Linux. As long as most people are more familiar/comfortable with using Windows than Linux, the more likely companies are to not even look at alternatives.

Looks like you have a much more optimistic view of humans than I do. Because I don’t think that “it’s necessary” would be enough motivation for most people to do things that they fundamentally dislike doing without having an immediately tangible benefit.

We do, but it requires a good deal of manual labour. Which isn’t something people will just do for fun. Even someone who enjoys sowing isn’t going to want to spend all day in a factory making t-shirts, for example.

Star Trek has replicators.

Oh, for sure. I just think it’s funny.

Ironically, .ml seems to be blocked in China.

Oh, cool. That one flew completely under my radar. I’ll have to check it out when I have time.

Are there mobile apps yet? Because if no that’s one huge advantage Lemmy still has over Kbin/Mbin, and it’s why I switched to Lemmy when Artemis started having issues (it went down completely since) instead of going back to Kbin.

No, I think I’ll blame the voters who don’t at least try to minimize the amount of harm done. I’ll blame the Democrats for running a shit campaign too, but there’s more than enough blame to go around for everyone to get their fair share of it.

(And yes, the people who I’ll blame the most are the Republican voters, but it’s a lost cause trying to reach them.)

I’m not even sure how I’m supposed to respond to that lack of empathy here. You might be fine with the consequences of your actions here, but most of the people who will suffer because of you and people like you are decidedly not going to be fine with it.
