This is informative on the differences between the ActivityPub any AT protocols: https://youtu.be/-R9CWq5CBlk?si=BzW7c5U0WXH8VxrO

The intro explains some history and things which ppl here probably already know, but overall I find it provides a pretty good analysis of the current social media landscape, and these two protocols in particular.

Amen, exactly.

While the US does have a lot of soft power in influencing nations, they certainly aren’t making the rules for other countries and puppeting them.

This is a very rosy eyed statement. The “soft” power is the visible part, just the tip of the iceberg.

Agreeing about Firefox, Linux and Twitter. Like, seriously agreeing, without sarcasm.

This should be a big story. Very very big.

I came here to type that, so I’ll just upvote yours instead. Such a versatile device, the Steam Deck!

Hopefully you are right.

Kali Linux introduced a script to reskin the DE to look as closely as possible like Windows a few years ago.

Thanks, great list!

I’m sorry to hear people having issues with FF. I remember the instability spell it had way back (6, 7 years ago?) but I’ve had zero issues with it on Mac, Linux and Android.

We should. Yes please.

I agree, that’s what I’m saying. I used “this” ambiguously, I just realized. I edited “this” to “this comment”, and added another clarifying sentence before the quote.

Here’s an excerpt from the older article which isn’t paywalled, that I linked in my comment (before the edit):

"Constructed more than 20 years ago, the turbines at the small Keyenberg wind park are less powerful than modern equivalents, with each producing about 1MW of energy per hour at a wind speed of 15 metres per second, roughly a sixth of the output of a more efficient state of the art turbine.

Since windfarms in Germany are no longer eligible for subsidies after 20 years in operation, the park would probably have been “repowered” with new technology or wound down even if it were not for the nearby mine.

Nonetheless, North-Rhine Westphalia’s ministry for economic and energy affairs on Monday urged RWE to abort its plans to dismantle the windfarm.

“In the current situation, all potential for the use of renewable energy should be exhausted as much as possible and existing turbines should be in operation for as long as possible,” a spokesperson said."

The title, paired with an expensive paywall and the fact that the quote below is the only part visible for free would certainly suggest that this comment is true.

Here’s the un-paywalled article intro:

"German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia.

One wind turbine has already been dismantled, with a further seven scheduled for removal to excavate an additional 15m to 20m tonnes of so-called ‘brown’ coal, the most polluting energy source."

I think this article from last year is relevant to this story: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/26/german-windfarm-coalmine-keyenberg-turbines-climate

Lemmy just point out that this comment is underrated.

Wow, it looked like a screen grab from a text based adventure game or something 😂

Is this picture from a game? Looks like something I might like to play.

Here’s a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.

There is also the B Corp designation (short for Public Benefit Corporation) which allows a company to balance its responsibility towards the share holders with some other benefit it aims to provide where the share holders aren’t the (only) beneficiaries.
