The part is what drives me mad. Podcasts and audiobooks are not that hard to do properly. You could very easily separate them into distinct apps or at least a special tab that acts like a proper player. Instead audiobooks are basically albums.

There's a shuffle button.

On an audiobook.

Spotify actually doesn't make that much profit, if any.

But the record labels are major shareholders and definitely influence the pricing structure. Spotify is essentially a marketing frontend for the record industry.

Ich hätte es ja gut gefunden, wenn man das erst nachträglich öffentlich gemacht hätte. Der Ukraine einfach mal die Möglichkeit geben, die Russen komplett aus dem Nichts heraus massiv in Russland anzugreifen und sich danach hinstellen und sagen "achja, das hatten wir denen schon letzten Monat erlaubt. Alles cool."

2.4 is the tipping point. Mark my words.

Any day now, it's gonna be the year of the Linux handheld.

That "outdated" programming language still runs large parts of the world economy and administration. Cobol will survive humanity, it's like a cockroach.

Is it efficient land use, though?

Keep in mind, we have to be able to feed 10 billion people. Homesteads like this are of course better than just plain grass, but compared to a farm, the output per area is probably really low. So there's still land being "wasted".

Again, that's not what obfuscation means.

Also, what exactly is the difference between cat and journalctl? You can't read a text file without a program either.

Of course, raw text files are more common, but what you're drawing up here is a mixture of old man yells at cloud and tin foil hat territory.

The alternative to nuclear isn't coal....

And if you seriously think regulations are the problem, you're denser than the lead shielding you want to get rid of.

So literally every program on your machine is obfuscated. Linux kernel? Obfuscated. Wayland? Obfuscated. And even VIM: obfuscated.

You're creating problems where there are none.

Are you really sure, you're using "obfuscation" right? Because that implies that someone intentionally makes something harder to read to hide something. That's not the case here. Nothing is hidden, it's all there, the formats are well defined and easy to read.

You can't really bork your system, since you can't always roll back and since the entire system is declared in one file (tree) that should work flawlessly.

In case of servers: the entire config is in one place. That can make maintenance much easier. At least for Homeservers. If you're deploying a fleet, puppet or ansible might be the better tools.

"Base load" is not that much. Off shore wind is almost always blowing, and all the other renewables can be stored via batteries or hydrogen (or tanks, in case of biogas). Yes, that's a whole lot of stuff, but the technology exists, can be produced on large scale and (most importantly) doesn't cause any path dependencies.

Nuclear is extremely expensive, as the article highlighted. And to be cost effective, power has to be produced more or less constantly. Having a nuclear power plant just for the few hours at night when wind and sun don't work is insane - and insanely expensive.
