To whom/what did they give that money to? Bill Gates gives billions to a foundation he owns that then expeirments with drugs on Africans, triws to block out the sun with metal particles in the atmosphere, and gets countries hooked on Microsoft with free licenses instead of using open source.

The USA was the moral leader the world. But I watched CNN as a kid so…

I don’t think all social media should be based in one country because that creates a risk of political censorship.

China installed 181 GW of solar power capacity from January to October 2024. It’s installing about 200 GW of solar every year. In about 20 years we will have so much renewable energy and renewable storage mechanisms that oil will no longer be a reason for wars. In 100 years from now generative AI might exist and humans will be on Mars. Everything I do that’s constructive for the world, that isn’t exploitative, keeps these positive developments progressing however slowly so that future generations of humanity will not know our suffering.

What’s with the identity politics man? Does what he says makes sense or not? Don’t tell me you won’t listen to rich white people when they make sense because they’re rich and white.

I like how they say their own research is Russian propaganda now.

Couldn’t come soon enough.

True

Yes we know Zelensky is an unelected dictator. You don’t need to project.

The sanctions applied by the west have been the best thing that could have happened to the Russian economy in decades. Their import substitution policy accelerated and even after the war they will now have competitive industries that wouldn’t have been considered economically viable had Russia continued to buy cheaper goods from the west. I sometimes think the continuation of the war is collusion by the US and Russia to keep both of their economies doing great at the expense of Europe, who are too busy with their hubris to realise they’re getting screwed here.

Right. The UK it will be a challenge for sure. Any western democracy that’s stuck due to the nature of its governance system indeed. BRICS countries OTOH are some of the fastest installers of solar. Maybe we’re looking at a mean regression for the west.

You may not be aware, but most governments now require storage to be added as part of solar projects.

I can set up 20 GW of solar panels to match the capacity of a 4 GW nuclear power plant. And I can set up 20 GW of PV in a year. China installs about 30 GW of solar capacity in a quarter.

It takes about 8-10 years to build a nuclear power plant. In 8 years, I could have installed the equivalent of 8 nuclear power plants using Solar PV that it would take me to build one nuclear power plant.

Zionists really captured that platform.

You should look at JTX Board. It’s associated with DAVx5 and they do the vjournal and vtodo standards. They have a list of services that support it. https://jtx.techbee.at/sync-with-davx5

Sounds like you might have ADHD. Anyway, don’t give up. I found mindfulness practice 15 mins a day helped me a lot.

I think part of your problem is you’re comparing yourself to others that are different to you. It’s like thinking you’re lesser because you’re not a tall basketball player, when you’re not meant to be a basketball player. IMO if you can hold a steady job to pay yhe bills that’s probably the first thing. Then a good way to get off the drugs is to focus on exercise and eating healthy. If you can keep that up for a year theoretically you should feel a lot better about yourself. Maybe get into reading books as well. Even the most trashy of books.

This will take another 7 or 8 years to come to fruition.

Just curious because Distrowatch can be easily gamed; does anyone know how this might affect the linux consumer market? I’m using Mint and see no reason to switch to this. I used to nerd out about different distros but aside from the enterprise distros or Debian or Arch preferences I don’t see why people are using smaller distros anymore. Hobbyist i guess?

Go search palestine or ukraine on google news and tell me if you see unbiased news 😉
