Proferring it as ToS violation is actually quite concerning for anyone using the same google account for their primary email and as a youtube account'

Wow, this is awful. Huge cudos to y'all for holding on through this. It's obviously a deliberate attack on the fediverse by malicious actors.

20% of my infuriation came from this terribly (I repeat, terribly) written title.

Yeah, that's the real "internet explorer of messaging services". Absolutely sucks to use it (doesn't even.deliver messages to me half the time), but 90% insist on it for chat groupa and such.

aaand a whole new me!

I'm a pirate at heart, yarr ;)

Oh no but you might use a stick to draw a copyrighted work in the sand!

The criticism is extraordinarily simple and justified.

Which is better, Renewables and Nuclear or Renewables and Fossil Fuels?

Germany could have had an almost entirely fossil free grid by now, but instead they chose renewables & fossil fuels.

In my opinion, no. Most Menslib communities I've seen (including the one mentioned here) are primarily focused on a different topic from what Ask Men focuses on (feminism and a feminist outlook on men's issues). Even if not particularly active at the moment, Ask Men provides it's own, important niche for discussions and perspectives that should not be overlooked.

and this is a short intro to why a (60%/40%) split between renewables and nuclear may be the most accessible fossil free solution, and why the value of adding more variable renewables to a grid falls sharply the closer you get to 100%.

Also, the last article you posted is paywalled.

20% is huge on cheaper (i.e not horribly expensive) EV 's when you'll already be on the edge of your range for daily use. Luckily though, most people don't live in northern latitudes.

100% this. I'm glad it's working for them. Rubbish bins have been disappearing here in Sweden too, and not just on nature trails. Unfortunately, many new residents don't have the same strict attitude against littering. Now I see plastic and paper bags flying across the fields in the wind and plenty of other litter around in the streets. It's strange how much these things can change in just a few years.

Firefox, been using it on my PC as long as I've had one. Been forced to use Chrome, I.E & Edge on work computers and don't fancy them particularly.

It's incredibly common for most decently paying jobs where I live, and has been becoming more common even as the gov:t has pushed for public transit (and reliability of trains has declined). The potential costs of an employee being potentially 30+ minutes late due to transit issues are just too great.

The unfortunate reality is that the arbitrary "rights holders" have leveraged their held rights to gain a lot of money, unlike the maintainers of lemmy.world, which don't have a bunch of cash lying around.

In this day and age, money can create allegations to drown someone in lawyers, and just defending against such allegations, regardless of their validity, can be prohibitively expensive.

You act as if it is actually feasible or reasonable to choose not to uae these services, when it, in fact, would be a severe handicap in day-to-day life

11$/month is 132$/yr. That's a significant anount ofmoney - about the same as my car insurance, broadband or phone bill. Putting a bunch of good music in a playlist and letting it roll is nice enough, especially with a 3rd party app to mute ads automatically. Besides, I don't feel sorry for Spotify. The reason they're hemorrhaging money isn't a lack of profitability, but due to the massive royalties going to record companies.

Energy or electricity? Those are two very different things.

I myself mainly just rinse my face daily with soap & water after trimming the beard. Used to use a lotion too, but it's been an unfortunate casualty of budgetary constraints. Besides, few shops around where I live have relevant products geared towards men, so I was just grabbing something generic (not that I go looking particularly often).

Looks kinda cute, I like it
