You know the reason why most of the recent megafauna went extinct? (Mammoths, big birds, giant sloth, saber toothed cat, ...)

In this case I would. Its from the Snowden leaks and from the government for the government, never intended for our public eyes.

Also if you don't fully trust tor, just add another layer (e.g. VPN). If the government dissuades you from secure open infrastructure and gets you to use closed ones, they have won because companies can always be forced to comply. Algorithms on the other hand, can't.

I don't have a second screen right now, but here is my desktop with the 3 default task widgets. Only icons on top, switcher to the right, text and icons on the bottom. All in their own panels. Of course any panel could just be moved onto a second monitor. I remember this is possible since KDE 4 and stable since early KDE 5.

KDE's strength is its incredibly customizability. In the past this also lead to instability for unorthodox configurations, but the last few years it has also been very stable for me.

You can easily do that on plasma. Just add a panel and add the widget you prefer (only icons, or icons and window titles)

No Idea where you get that I support lignite use. As I said, renewables should be the choice.

And no, there is no excuse "We had to replace the reactors with coal!".

By current prices building renewable energy which generates X per year costs about as much as importing/mining fossil raw materials to produce X for 5 years. If you factor in storage you get 10 years. Thats very short time for amortization. Fasten than a nuclear plant can even be built. And this does not even include all the costs fossil fuels produce otherwise (upkeep of plants, environmental impact, ...)

It was also a double standard, as import of French electricity from nuclear power was still imported.

In 2022 Germany exported 15.3 TWh to France.
Of course there have been days where imports were made, as the power flow varies widely depending on a huge number of circumstances, but all in all the often repeated claim that Germany relies on nuclear power from France is plain wrong. Correct is that France was very reliant on other countries to get trough the hot summer due to their plants failing.

The effects of the energy crisis were also noticeable for uranium oxide which also reached its 11 year peak during the crisis. More than doubling in price.

What didn't increase its cost during the crisis? Renewables. As @Aufgehtsabgehts@feddit.org said investing in those would have reduced the effects of the crisis noticeably. An example for this is Denmark. Also note that cooling reactors becomes more difficult/expensive with climate change. See energy prices in France in the summer.

Also in Ukraine you can right now see another disadvantage of atomic plants: They are huge strategic targets.

Just going by your listed requirements: N900 with Maemo Leste.

Of couse its Hardware is to limited for todays tasks (Web)

[–] macros@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Had that on one of mine too (my main one I used for many years). Yes thats very bad, nearly unfixable and you can only use it with a second phone which provides a hotspot.

But in case you want to get rid of it it would be great if you sent it to the team for development purposes (You can reach them on their mailing list https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/maemo-leste) or even I would be happy if you send it to me, so that I have spare parts and maybe I will dare to try to fix the modem.

(Some people had success with stripping all temperature sensitive parts and plastics from the mainboard and baking the mainboard in the oven)

In case you want to to keep it, believe me, I fully understand :) Maybe one day you will get the urge to fiddle with it again.

Still have it?You can try maemo Leste on it. https://maemo-leste.github.io/

Far from usable as daily phone, but they are making good progress despite their small team. Dillo works as Browser for sites without js, SMS works well, calls are possible, Bluetooth is missing but everything else pretty much works.

Of course the 256MB RAM pose a heavy limit for todays apps. You have to choose ones which use it sparingly. E.g. mupdf, gnumeric instead of libreoffice and so on.

But its awesome for mobile ssh and, little games like SNES ones. I am starting to use it as second phone.

Gibt auch andere, die Clevo Barebones gehen auch meist super. Besonders natürlich die von Tuxedo und System76 aufgegriffenen. Und bei Lenovo vor allem die Thinkpad Reihe.

Dachte ich hol mir ein günstiges Ideapad (14APH8) und bin auf der sicheren Seite. Das macht Probleme, auch unter Windows. Mal aus dem Standby nicht aufgewacht. Manchmal hängt er einfach komplett, selbst SysRQ geht nicht mehr, mal spinnt der Grafiktreiber wegen der ungewöhnlichen Kombi mit dem Display, die NPU im PC wurde von Lenovo erst nach einem Jahr freigeschaltet und es sammelt Dellen wie kein PC zuvor, einer der USB-C Ports hat einen Wackelkontakt nach 2 Monaten Schreibtisch gehabt. Hatte ich bisher nur mal mit einem USB-A bei meinem Clevo nach 9 Jahren auf Wanderschaft durch Uni, 2 Arbeitsplätze und einigem mehr. Der Zweite USB-C zeigt erste Schwächen, dann kann ich ihn nicht mehr laden. Laden geht eh nur mit 65W Netzteil, alles weniger lehnt er ab. Gut, hat nur ein kleiner Teil mit Linux zu tun, aber ich hab nie einem PC so wenig getraut.

Das nächste mal wirds wieder ein Clevo.

This is the same effect which makes piracy beneficiary for developers. The EU financed a big study on it, expected to confirm claims that i causes high losses for creators. After they got unwanted results they shelved it silently. The Pirate Party then brought it to light.

Free advertising is always good and many people who have a no hassle option to own the game and to reward the creator will do so.

Hi,

die Piraten sind diesmal nur in drei Bundesländern wählbar wegen der hohen Hürde der 2000 Unterschriften in der kurzen Zeit, doch unsere AG Energiepolitik ist fleißig und hat die Wahlprogramme aller Parteien mit Balken in den Umfragen analysiert. Eigentlich damit die Mitglieder informiert wählen können, aber ich dachte mir, das könnte hier auch einige interessieren.

Teilnehmen könnt ihr ab 21 Uhr über den Big Blue Button Link: https://bbb.piratensommer.de/b/gui-j2e-jh1-sbw

Das Ganze ist nicht nur ein Vortrag, sondern ihr könnt Fragen stellen oder Themenvorschläge für die AG bringen. Es wird natürlich auch aufgezeichnet, den Link ergänze ich dann hier. Falls ihr anonym bleiben wollt, stellt eure Fragen einfach nach dem offiziellen Ende.

Kommentare gerne vorher schon, dann trage ich sie weiter an die Arbeitsgruppe. (Bin selbst kein Mitglied der AG, aber der Piraten)

Schreibt gerne auch, ob ich solche Veranstaltungen öfter mal hier weitertragen soll. (ca eine pro Monat)
