So you’ll have no issue with isreal once the war is over and bibi steps down?

I know but there is a ton of sentiment that bleeds over and I think there was no way lander would win in the current landscape.

So? A ton of Jewish people supported Mamdani that doesnt change my point.

Progressives dont “only hate the administration” and I think its completely disingenuous to even pretend thats the case.

Progressive hate Jews rn

I think hes ok but I also think it was a layup victory for him. There was no way he would lose. The other candidates were awful and the only other progressive one was Jewish.

you’re retarded

edit: boy I sure do love to procrastinate and talk about energy and co2 instead of studying :|

I feel the same way, but I had to actually focus on real life over the weekend instead of combing through the energy reports. I will start by saying that its very likely that 2024 stats are significantly more in favor of strong renewable growth but I also couldnt find a csv of data on ember-energy so i couldnt look at the actual numbers. The major energy reports I normally go by dont seem to have included 2024 data yet. Its likely that even in 2024 non renewables still increased more than renewables even though china claims that renewables were 80% of the growth I will explain below why this has previously been the case.

China also continues to increase coal generation by more than renewables.

China loves this stat and its a good stat but its a bit misleading, these show renewable energy as a % of total power which is relative instead of absolute. Why this is important is because it allows china to brag about increasing renewables while still massively increasing non renewables.

Year 2022: Renewable = 8114 TWh | Non-renewable = 36401 TWh | % renewables = 18.2% From Energy Institute’s world review

Year 2023: Renewable = 8719 TWh | Non-renewable = 38708 TWh | % renewables = 18.3%

Renewable energy increase was 605 TWh and Non-renewable was 2307 TWh

There is another stat that these reports normally parade around. Its % increase of a specific energy type. (these stats are made up cause i could be fucked finding an example article of a claim) They will say something like solar went from 600gw to 1000 thats a 66% increase this year and coal only increased 40% except coal is 3600gw to 6400.

Maybe I’m wrong and if so i’d love for someone smarter than me to correct me.

They have missed every single renewable target and goal they’re set.

China does this thing where they go to climate meetings and agree on world goals like 13% energy intensity reduction and carbon intensity reduction. They then go back home and broadcast random goals like adding x amount of solar or carbon peak by x year. These are no climate targets, these are personal targets from the CCP that even if achieved (the carbon peak 1000% wont be) are no where close to what is required to meet their climate goals.

Europe has plenty of money apparently to suddenly double defense spending OVER 10 YEARS

I’m not sure how european defense spending is relevant considering china’s defense spending has also more than doubled in the last few years and is nearing the US

Where will the batteries be made I wonder?

Prehaps they would be made in a country with environmental and labour laws if governments legislated properly to prevent companies outsourcing manufacturing. However this doesnt absolve china. China isnt being forced at Gunpoint to produce these goods with low labour regulation and low environmental regulation.

energy prices in the EU are ridiculous

Can someone actually point out to me where this comes from? Even when I look up the peak spike of germany Energy prices it doesnt seem that bad. At the end of the day energy is a small % of EU household spending and ill think that until i see otherwise.

It requires EU importers to pay a levy corresponding to the embedded carbon emissions in 303 emission-intensive products

This would be great, it would have been greater 10 years ago. But the best time to act was yesterday and the 2nd best time is today so i’d be happy to see something like this implemented although I dont know how effective it would be since manufacturing competitiveness is no where close anymore.

He should blame himself. He’s such an shit politician.

Adoption is actually already there. The problem at the moment is getting people to pay for it because currently they lose money on each prompt even for paying users.

Yeah the .ml must have missed this thread.

While everyone else is paying the costs that come with environmental regulation china is exploiting it and getting celebrated for it. Its insane what a few dollars can do to change peoples minds on a topic.

Nice I love seeing China Greenwashing get reposted. Remember that China is 3x the size of the EU so them having 3x the solar power is a stupid comparison. China also continues to increase coal generation by more than renewables. China is only %27 renewables while the EU is 47%. China is 17% of the world and almost 40% of the emissions.

OECD countries are actually working on emission reduction instead of china which continue to increase emissions with absolute no signs of stopping. They have missed every single renewable target and goal they’re set. But dont worry im sure they will stop building more coal plants in 2030, im sure it wont be to late by then.

Its already waging psychological warfare on me in the workplace. Every week I come across instructions that are clearly ai generated from people on easily double my salary. Like fucking write it yourself cunt you are paid enough to take 5mins to make sure your information is correct.

Judge,I’m pirating them to train ai not to consume for my own personal use.

Wow thats am amazing resource

Why would a librarians info need to be public? Does America require a public database of public servants?

Without the resources from the outside they would probably crackdown on dissent until the population hit tipping point. Outside influence helps people hit the tipping point earlier and turns the balance a little bit more in their favour. Rebel groups are fighting against legit armies they need equipment to even stand a chance.

North Korea has China and russia and there is a ton of tension and close calls. War has popped off before and the US helped and things went well, Korea is doing alright.

Iran has russia and China, there really are very few counties without any support.

Today i was looking through the top popular shorts in a private tab. It was so depressing there were countless AI slop videos getting 300m views.

People just dont care. Its why I love Lemmy, here the people care about the tech they use and content they consume. People here have standards. But most people arent like that and eventually everyone will be designed for them and there won’t be anything for us and there will be less and less people like us. I love technology and I hate what’s happening to tech so much.

I dont like ray traced lighting, it doesnt feel right and isnt worth the performance cost. I do like raytracing for sound. Scenes look better when they’re handcrafted.

Upscaling sucks. It looks so bad. But the tech is really cool and it allows people to run games at higher fps (only if they have a card with a ton of ai cores).
