Everybody had ICQ. You probably are too young to remember, but ICQ was as commonly used as Instagram today.

Poor Elon put in so much effort into his Nazi Salute, he'd be pretty upset about you downplaying his best attempt, if he could read what you wrote here about him.

Isn't it easier to just .. start loving it instead?

I don't know which bubble you're in, but since Elon took over, Twitter became absolutely unusable.

The decline happened with bots flooding the platform, with the "creator reward" program rewarding meaningless engagement bait, and with people who I respect in the Tech bubble leaving the platform, which led to an even faster decline.

That was just not the case before the takeover; back then, you would enjoy scrolling through it, engage in authentic conversations, and learn a thing or two.

You didn't read your own article. They're debating to end feed-in tariffs for solar panel electricity.

Germany does not have set electricity prices like France does with the EDF.

The Greens were not in Office when the nuclear exit was decided 2011.

The Greens actually prolonged their life time during Covid, after RWE, EON and EnBW argued that it does not make sense economically to let them run longer.

No insurer wanted to insure nuclear, and no energy company wanted to keep losing money on nuclear.

Since nuclear is the most expensive form of energy generation, it makes sense to switch it off first.

Funny how Vue Vapor 3.6 beta and Ripple 0.3 show the exact same performance (1.0) as Octane, but their bars are a tiny bit longer so the Octane team can pretend to have a justification to put their implementation on top.

Classic statistics dark pattern.

Only if "the aggregate revenue of the Licensee and its affiliates exceeds 20 million US dollars (or the equivalent in other currencies) in total over any consecutive 12 months"

For all practical uses of the word, that's exactly what we mean by "catch up".

Whether they get there by distillation, or by pirating all content themselves just like the US labs, doesn't matter for the topic at hand.

Good spaghetti has 15% protein, 15g per 100g.

Even the lowest quality one has 12g/100g.
