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)

It weighs more and definitely could use a lot less space on the road and costume less fuel if it didn’t grow to this size but stayed small and with less weight

Surely that’s work worthy of an IG Nobel prize?

I just wanted to make clear that if someone were to read this with malicious intentions to discredit this as not doing much for the climate at all that it’s not as easy as just looking at this simplified pie-chart

Kind of oversimplified when railways and public transport is grouped under infrastructure when it could as well be in the climate protection category

So no USP any more?

Yeah they are not part of the very expensive luxury lineup for sure - but their point of sale is pretty similar imho

Boss, LV, Gucci - all those “Luxus” brands tbh.

Their only selling factor is that they are too expensive for really poor people to buy.

Their quality is medium at best

Yeah - but the situation there is literally the same as with all the other launchers besides GOG

For some reason steam just has a huge fanclub that doesn’t accept any kind of criticism

Interesting that it’s not the steam logo used for that meme…

SEO is wrong - it’s like an arms race where the shittiest party spending the most wins and every one else needs to play by the rules to even exist.

The world would be better off if noone did it in the first place and search engines could just do the job they intended to do.

Google totally went to shit in the last years with their first page often full of websites great at SEO but horrible in whatever you were actually looking for.

Meanwhile the little ultra-specific forum that had a thread years ago about your specific search and no money for SEO is somewhere on page 5 while websites just repeating the search phrase over and over with no answer in sight are at the top.

That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person

Cheaper in the long run perhaps - but how expensive is it to build?

Atomic energy is only “cheap” since the cost for the power plants is heavily paid for by tax money. For the cost of one power station you could cover a huge amount of land with solar panels.

The non visual novel parts (the investigations) are by far the weakest point imho. I always was extremely happy to be back in court

Buying a new replacement totally is upgrading though.

That’s why it’s so rare to find phones with easily changeable batteries as most phones are like new if you just replace that.

The same happens on Reddit with RES - I think redgifs is blocking sites from embedding it

If Epic could actually provide a better service, they would be seeing customers and developers actually want to use their platform.

Doubt

Gog is objectively giving you more value for your money but even cdpr had to release the Gwent standalone on steam eventually because people didn’t buy it enough - once it was on steam it sold more than in a year on gog in weeks

People don’t look at the alternatives at all - unless it’s a AAA game with an exclusive deal

Steam is just perfect at keeping the gamers behind them as they are only assholes behind doors to the Devs on their platform.

30% is an absurd cut for a store that has such a monopoly that if you don’t release there your game is pretty much cancelled even if you release at your own store without DRM and with additional goodies (Looking at GOG and The Witcher - they released the Gwent standalone like a year later on steam because it didn’t sell at all on GOG and then it apparently outsold the GOG version without a week)

People are just too lazy and Steam is keeping them happy enough to not bother looking another way.

Epic isn’t a good guy in any case but the exclusive deals on AAA Games they do is probably the only way to get someone to buy the game there instead of Steam

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!
