federalreverse,

I didn’t realize the Microsoft font was named after the painter rather than just being named “beer town” (which seemed rather ill-fitting anyway).

federalreverse,

The word “robust” is working overtime in this article, that’s for sure.

Besides that, I’d argue this article is a nothingburger: Both the minister of defense and the chancellor are SPD (who view more military involvement as bringing more risk). Meanwhile, the FDP-led ministry of finance wants almost every ministry to save money, and are already asking the ministry of exterior and the ministry of developmental aid to cut spending next year. Lindner won’t outright force military spending cuts but he certainly won’t allow increases either. Budget hawkishness trumps military hawkishness in FDP.

The Greens have almost no say in all of this, they hold the ministry of the exterior, which is not really a position of power.

Overall, Germany is going to be as uninvolved and fiscally “prudent” as NATO partners will allow, no matter the thoughts of representatives without real influence (i.e. everyone interviewed for this article).

I mean just looking at the amount of concrete in that picture, I get pessimistic. When will this particular site have dug itself out of the carbon “hole” created by its construction?

As for trees: That is really, really hard to measure and even harder to know in advance. Some factors appear to be:

  • different tree species store different amounts of carbon
  • tree plantation or actual forest?
  • prior use of the site (e.g. meadows do store carbon too)
  • development over time (most trees need to grow a couple years before they start storing significant amounts of carbon)
  • failure of sites due to being planted in a bad way (e.g. a lot of Chinese Green Wall sites and quick-buck billion tree projects seem to be affected by this)
federalreverse,

The article doesn’t really do a great job of answering the titular question. So … Is the answer “mostly because of policy failure”? Because that is what opening two coal plants in 2024 sounds like to me.

I’m also a little confused how they managed to jump from “renewables are making power cheaper in Japan” in one paragraph to “this is hampered by G7 liking fossil gas” in the next paragraph. (I do share their worry about G7 nations investing in fossil gas too much. My home country Germany has just introduced a gas peaker plant strategy and appears to be over-investing in LNG terminals.)

Afaiu it, he added a second package with (quote) “all the crap” later, after the storm.

And no, it wasn’t just the favicons feature that was removed (which like … is that really such a big privacy issue that you need to remove it from the binary?). Support for Yubikey was removed as well — which is not a privacy issue. The reasoning mentioned by the Debian maintainer is that all of these features might turn out to be security issues in the long run. Thus, in his view, a password manager application must do nothing but provide access to the database within the app.

I find it an interesting example of diverging upstream, maintainer, and user interests in any case.

federalreverse,

Yes, these are off-by-default features.

federalreverse,

You have a point to some degree, yet I still think it is defensible to make this post. He majorly altered software

  • downstream
  • against user expectations
  • for somewhat spurious reasons
  • seemingly quite ad-hoc

He then went on to defend that decision in a less-than-graceful way before announcing there will be a second, new package.

But, to make it clear: I certainly don’t approve of hate directed toward him and I don’t have a personal issue with him.

federalreverse,

Why bother with bribes if he’d do it for free anyway?

federalreverse,

Iirc, German passports are overall the most versatile in terms of allowing international travel.

federalreverse,

The contrast, the flowing scarf, the photorealism! Amazing.

federalreverse,

Das ist eine Lobbygruppe mit sehr viel Geld. Aber kriegen die was auf die Reihe oder werden die eigentlich bloß ausgelacht?

Das letzte von denen, woran ich mich vage erinnern kann, war eine Aktion, bei der FFF nachgeäfft wurde. Das sah so aus und wurde überall verlacht:

There is no Wirtschaft B

Ich hab vor kurzem in meinem kleinen Hamburger Vorort einen Sticker von der oben genannten Gruppierung gefunden obwohl hier ansonsten nur sehr wenig rechter Kram zu sehen ist. Bisher hatte ich von denen noch nie etwas gehört und hab auch im Netz nicht großartig was gefunden außer dass die wohl in Bremen vor einigen Jahren mal...

Die Polizei entfernt rechtsradikale Sticker für dich?! Neid.

(Ich hatte übrigens mal die Idee, eine Gruppe c/stickerid zu starten, genau für solche Fragen. Hochwähli, falls ihr das für eine gute Idee haltet.)

More and faster: Electricity from clean sources reaches 30% of global total (apnews.com)

Scientists say emissions from burning fuels like coal must ramp steeply down to protect Earth’s climate, yet there was an increase in electricity made from burning fossil fuels. China, India, Vietnam and Mexico were responsible for nearly all of the rise....

federalreverse,

So you’ve got basically all the figures to plot exponential growth but you assume linearity?

federalreverse,

Das ist leider auch nicht archiviert.

federalreverse,

If Big Gravity didn’t illegally hold down the truth, your book would fly off the shelves (literally).

Mit dem ersten Satz hast du Recht. Trotzdem runtergewählt wegen der Kraftausdrücke im zweiten Satz. Lass dir das eine Lehre /s ein.

federalreverse, (edited )

Weißt du, ich hab hier die Auswahl zwischen doof und unnötig sexualisiert:

Öfter mal wieder (an-)stoßen. Nachtleben in {Stadt} fördern. (FDP)

und Hetze:

Corona-Unrecht: Handschellen müssen klicken. (Freie Sachsen)

Sei froh, dass es bei dir die SPD ist.

federalreverse,

Oh weia, Clemens Gleich. Investigiert bitte auf keinen Fall, was der auf Heise sonst so publiziert. Mein Puls ist schon auf mindestens 205, wenn ich die Autorenzeile sehe.
