> contributing factor in the Spain

Not really, the full report refuted this. Issue in Spain was much more nuanced. Mostly related to lax voltage controls and outdated and slow control mechanisms at the grid, high voltage net.

It cannot do PGP, by design, just for a very obvious fault. It won't let you use your own domain and web storage. Sorry, no contest.

I've been using it to close to 20 years with multiple accounts and it was rock-solid. I wouldn't extrapolate from anecdata, in either direction.

But we should not spread FUD. If you can link to the bug I'd be interested, otherwise it doesn't add much value to claim this.

I think they are just hating on Mozilla out of pure principles, but without any alternative.

I really like Thunderbird, it's the only truly cross-platform mail app, with K9 also now on Android.

Works perfect, I even migrated my Windows install to Linux just by copying the data folder, absolutely seamless.

Not sure why people are hating on it so much here. Point to an alternative with the same features?

Hah. Anyone with some tokens to burn can compose a report on the data?

Sure, because there are quite a lot of natural Uranium sources on EU soil. Care to name them?

Yes, that's what I thought, but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Can you please source and explain your claims? They don't match my understanding.

For example:

> Levelised Cost of Energy is the highest, in the entire developed world, in the UK, which has enough wind and solar installed to entirely meet needs today.

Do you mean cost per country (not levelized?)? Even then, UK energy is not the most expensive.

> Ethanol is produced from corn not for energy purposes, but for food security

Source? First time I read this, might make sense. Although I don't see how this corn should be unaffected by crop failure if all other corn harvests failed.

I swear to god, these uniform AI-driven low effort article intros really get to me: Not X, but Y!

Word. After more Words. With. Full stops.

Have some pride, at least use a prompt to get rid of this generic lack of style.

You have presented a good case from the physics textbook for calculating the radiator size.

However, what do you reckon the energy balance is for launching the 1 GW datacenter components into space and assembling it?

That's not my experience at all. The majority of games, especially on Steam, work out of the box.

I would advise the opposite: Don't get an old box. Take your new box, take a new hard disk, and just install Bazzite (and pretend you don't know anything about Linux, just stick with the defaults).

You are mistaken if you think it is about transgression. Old forums had no algo feeds to manipulate the content you saw and steer you. This is the issue, not so much the content itself.

It helps overly subsidize renewables and prevents price drops arriving directly at the consumer's bill.
