The problem is that if a country treats money as unlimited and without a cost then inflation will mirror that and people in that country will lose their savings, their job will not pay for their bills anymore and so on

It’s not as simple as “just spend more”…

The problem is that “both” isn’t a valid option unless a country has unlimited finances.

Otherwise you have to decide on what’s the most feasible option and then renewables win big time

I sometimes feel as if the current push for atomic is from the fossil-lobby as they are aware that it either works and they get 10-20 more years to sell oil until the reactors are built - and even if it doesn’t work out it still will slow down rollout of renewables

If you have 100 billion to spend on energy producing you have to choose if you want to go all-in with one source or split it up which would move the end of fossil fuels Back further

Not to mention having to buy the radioactive materials from dictatorships and having problems to cool down the reactors with rising temperatures and rivers running dry

I just don’t see how atomic isn’t a huge gamble that can backfire hard (and I’m not even talking about catastrophic events like Fukushima)

So no USP any more?

I get updates every other week

but I think it’s in a weird spot with not having regular English patchnotes - and afaik they also use an older rendering-engine

Vivaldi is the best!

Currently trying out Floorp as a Firefox fork for the possibility that Google’s disabling of adblockers in the manifest will make it impossible to use chromium browsers which is kind of good, too

But Vivaldi rules as long as chromium is an option!

Those are just insignificant compared to Google so noone is even trying to game them.

That’s actually one of the reasons why I use kagi but saying that they figured it out is just wrong

RIP in peace

Also they are probably not repairable at all.

Part of the high cost is ensuring that you support the phone not just software wise but also with spare parts for some time and those ultra cheap phones usually do neither

Perhaps interested in the people working there and wanting to create their own email service from the ground up?

Running AI doesn’t - training an AI is where the real power hungry stuff happens

TBF if it wasn’t without a popup it would be insanely easy to install malware without the user knowing

You even get that popup on windows when installing something.

The only thing I see a problem with is that something like fdroid can’t be installed from the play store

For gecko the best alternative to old opera and Vivaldi I found so far is floorp

I’m kind of sad they didn’t choose gecko for Vivaldi.

Currently trying out Floorp after maining Vivaldi for years in preparation for the worst

It’s not about security through obscurity but “if a measurement becomes a goal then it ceases to be a good measurement” - so keeping the measurements hidden in order to make it harder for them to become a goal is a decent way to go on about it.

How would you measure “without ads”? That would just be the same cat and mouse game that adblockers have to deal with for decades.

I’m not sure it’s possible to find a good completely open source solution that’s not either giving bad results by down rating good results for the wrong reasons or that’s open to misuse by SEO.

That might work if it’s a small project where noone cares about fixing the results but if something like that becomes mainstream it’s going to happen

The problem is that it’s just incredibly expensive to keep scanning and indexing the web over and over in a way that makes it possible to search within seconds.

And the problem with search engines is that you can’t make the algorithm completely open source since that would make it too easy to manipulate the results with SEO which is exactly what’s destroying google

How are you supposed to self-host a web crawler and indexer without getting a giant server bill?

Having this service at least slightly centralised makes sense ressource-wise - but assuming crawling and indexing is free is just foolish. I’d choose something like kagi but I guess many people will rather cheap out and go for the next free service not realising that that company has to make money another way to make up for the high cost of running a search engine

Probably meaning ads for real products and travels etc.
