What does RISC-V do that ARM does not with staying revenant post silicon? (Also, chill bro, Organic and Light computing are still in their infancy and we won’t be there for a while)

Controversial opinion here, please read everything before formulating an opinion :p

That’s a very complicated way of saying “almost never,” because under the current social-economic system, people need money to survive, and most people, in the US at least, have a savings balance of something very close to zero. Even if everyone in the US quit their jobs today and starved on the streets, I heard there are many skilled workers in China who are currently unemployed. If all the laborers in Europe walked out tomorrow, I heard there are many starving African children who would labor 25 hours a day for a bite to eat. For a general strike to be even considered, UBI must be implemented globally, which we are not even close to doing.

I fully agree. In cities and places with a grid, fossil fuels will absolutely dominate, while rural grids/independent homeowners could use solar. However, I do think the cost of acquiring such panels could be prohibitively expensive for some rural homeowners.

Its a broader problem. Memmy shows this error even with normal text. For me personally, it is very common and occurs far more frequently than it actually working.

Since this isn’t a GIF, I suppose this has something to do with eye movement, since it stabilizes when I zoom in on my phone or really focus on the center image.

I guess the glory of Japanese BBC facts are forever locked away from me.

Edit: Memmy reposted this comment 4 times and then promptly crashed. This proves my theory that Memmy is sentient and does not approve of criticism of any kind.

I did not read any of your linked articles, but the answer is yes, fossil fuels most certainly would have dominated the 20th century because they are:

• Cheap
• Stable, you don’t have to depend on the sun shining
• Nobody really cared about climate change back then, they were estimating a few centuries and humans… aren’t that forward thinking

Edit: I was beaten by another commentator lol

If you want to get away from just Google, you can try iCloud or whatever Microsoft calls their Mail product now. If you want to get away with big tech run products, I recommend Proton. Of course you can always go full tinfoil hat and host your own email server with your own domain, but that will set you back at least 7 bucks a year, even if you for the cheapest register (Cloudflare, they don’t add their own fees at all, so you can’t really go lower).

Yeah, it is, tech wise.

But here’s the thing: Mastodon is not a viable alternative for most people right now because it’s missing the “normies”. Most people don’t even know what FOSS stands for and probably think it’s an STD, nuclear missile, or some form of coronavirus. Most of them are perfectly happy being on Twitter/Reddit/TikTok/FaceBook/Instagram. Without the masses, Mastodon cannot be a Twitter (or X, whatever you call it) replacement.
