He is chancellor? Could have fooled me by his inaction on a myriad of topics.

It’s worth noting that the high cost and long lead times are mostly just a US thing, many nations can go from inception to fully complete in three to five years.

I was curious about this claim and checked out the IAEA website and just checked random cointries and found several reactors that have been under construction for way longer.

I have never heard of a power plant or new reactor of an existing plant being build in that time frame. Do you have examples?

Kristersson has made expanding nuclear power generation a key goal for his right-wing government, after closure of several reactors forced the country to rely more on less predictable renewable energy.

Yes, who knows if we will have any wind or sunshine at all in 2035?

It's much less predictable than the ever changing political landscape in your country or in the few countries that can deliver the necessary nuclear material.

And let's be clear, nuclear projects have taken much longer than planned in several countries. These are just a few little problems, not to speak of long term disposal.

But "the wind and the sun" can't be counted on.

Discovered beets a few weeks ago. Tagging, organizing, converting, ... You can specify all of it in a config file and just add a new album and it handles everything for you

I can understand the funds for Ukraine 100%. They are fighting a giant aggressor that has superior numbers.

But doesn't Israel have a pretty huge and well equipped army considering their population? Especially compared to Hamas that is a guerrilla force.

Also the fighting is limited to a area that is fenced in by them, Egypt and the Mediterranean. What kind of new military equipment worth 14 billion would be needed?

It's also ironic to support a conflict with 14 billion and on the other side plan 9 billion for humanitarian aid to combat the misery needed because of it.

The current coalition is sadly very weak when it comes to shaping the conversation. The far right, the CxU and FDP have convinced the population immigration is the biggest problem we have, while it could be handled with better organisation.

Immigration will not go away, rather increase to climate factors. We need to build up structures to handle it better.

I switched from Proton to Tutanota for two main reasons.

  1. I didn't want to put all my eggs into one basket, just like you. With Tutanota I get email and calendar in one package. For VPN and online storage I use independent solutions (Mullvad, local solution via syncthing). Related to this, I don't like paying for a bundle of programs when I only really want to use a subset.

  2. Proton isn't following through all the way. They keep adding services (password manager and captchas recently), but they don't provide the same experience across all devices. I'm on linux and their drive doesn't offer a client that syncs my folder with essential documents. I have to manual upload. That's a dealbreaker for me.

Sadly I can't get voice prompts working with Organic Maps on GrapheneOS. Will stick with OsmAnd+ for now

That's curious. I am pretty sure it was available on Android 12 for me. Maybe someone can confirm? Screenshot_20230922-164302

In newer Android versions you don't have to give an app blanket access. You can specify certain folders (scopes, I think). You could create a share folder for WhatsApp with pictures you actually want to share

I enjoy the Orville quite a bit, but think they focus too much in Isaac. Bordus was featured heavily as well, but to a lesser extend. I would like to see them shift their focus.

I watched TNG pretty recently for the first time and enjoyed, but didn't love it. It aged pretty well, but still aged.
