Dell's current lineup is not to expensive (≈400) and runs Linux well

funny how that 'tiny' percentage of your energy mix is now forcing germany to reopen coal power plants, but by all means, continue to fuck the planet up even more in pursuit of your absurd anti-nuclear ideology.

We have to wait and see for eIDAS, let's hope with the changes to eIDAS dead, we'll have at least a few years of the Commission not proposing some dumb surveillance shit

except an apartment costs money and so there are barriers to entry, lemmy accounts are free.

The only good analogy is "if you want to be friends with us, stop being friends with assholes".

The latest text has not yet been released, but when it is you will see a separation between Identification and Encryption. It is also clearly stated that browsers are allowed to do whatever they want regarding recognition of CAs for encryption. tl;dr the status quo for encryption (linking a domain to a server) does not change, browsers will only be forced to recognise identity (linking a organisation to a server). This will force a re-engineering of QWACs/EV certs in general in favour of something like ntqwacs.

So jarring that you couldn't just... Press no?

Just a heads up: new wording has killed this.

Parliament's position on the proposed law will now be against chat control, but the fight is not over: next we have to negotiate with member states. It's vital we keep the pressure on governments to end this madness.

It did, but we are also fighting against eIDAS. I'm told last night's deal supposedly solves the problem, but I'm waiting for the text myself. (I worked on eIDAS in Parliament, my committee (Legal Affairs) recommended the complete deletion of Art45.

Yes and we absolutely should, but Germany is going to have to build a shit ton more storage and generation capacity to make that work. Also different storage technologies have different discharge rates, while traditional batteries can provide instant, short lasting and much needed frequency regulation, heat-based batteries take time to respond but can operate for prolonged periods. This is also a really complex balance to reach.

Again, not saying there isn't space for renewables: my ideal grid is 40% nuclear 60% renewable.

but I'm not certain we can grow storage and production with the rate of increase in demand by purely using renewables. Especially given the future need for air conditioning, and green hydrogen production for industrial processes like steelmaking.

We're in the midst of a climate crisis, and my only and primary goal is to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. The statistics show clearly that Germany's phase out of nuclear had done the opposite. The wrong decision was made: these plants should have at least been maintained, and, in my opinion, moderately expanded. The EU should have developed an EU-wide nuclear fuel reprocessing and storage programme, and we could be much closer to climate neutrality and relative energy independence today.

No it isn't. If you want to hear them feel free to create an account on an instance that doesn't block them, that is how the fediverse and the real world works.

They are only isolated from those who don't want to hear them.

If it is any reassurance, not even the EU trusts the EU to control internet security: Parliament voted this down in its position, but member states are trying to bring it back. MEPs are fighting to ensure control remains with browsers.
