  • Not sure who you’re yelling at, your communication style is unnecessarily confrontational. I am rarely aligned with what the German government does, nor was I involved in any of the decision making. But I do believe that nuclear has no long term future, especially if we need to import uranium from abroad, specifically Russia.

    Well maintained plants might be safe, but we see how every summer several need to be throttled down because cooling water is running out. Noone has figured out where we put the waste, in classic human fashion we bury it in the ground and hope someone will figure it out before that becomes its own disaster.

    I don’t claim Germany has green energy, yet it made some significant progress in the past decade. Despite most governments repeatedly making the worst possible decisions. Like crippling the solar industry in the east or handing our tax money over to big oil and gas. Admittedly having to import most of our solar panels from China isn’t great either, but I prefer a once of purchase over a subscription.







  • Oh I’ve been on a similar journey, after a year long break I’m back in the education space and things have only gotten worse.

    I voiced concern about professors using LLMs to create presentations. The sloppy images with nonsense text are one thing, but it’s hallucinating on actual content. Since I’m learning, I can’t be certain if something on this topic is true or an hallucination. My criticism was understood as me just not being tech savvy enough for AI.

    I’ll probably drop the course and get my money back, I could get a chatgpt subscription for a lot less…

    I’ve beefed up my legal insurance because I believe the only way to hammer some sense into people and businesses is to sue when their agentic ai makes mistakes. Currently nobody seems accountable for the output and that has to change.



  • Good, I love that this is gaining more and more traction. I’ve been boycotting it for a few years now l and truly miss the event.

    It used to be a great force of European unity but now has just turned sour and is promoting the opposite. You could unite over the trashy music, the hate for it, the love for it or just the general vibe. There is something there for everyone.

    I’m not at all opposed to worldwide participation (e.g. Australia, or when Celine was there for France) but genocidal warmongers can not be welcomed at an event that is supposed to promote peace and unity.

    There remains hope for 2027


  • I love Graphene, because I seriously care about privacy. Everything works well but I also wasn’t a fan of having to find Google hardware. Second hand worked and next year I will consider the Motorola that will run Graphene.

    Since you insist on Meta and Google Apps, you seem less concerned with hard privacy, so a Fairphone with e/OS could be a great choice. e/OS is nice too, I tried it for a while but found some laps in it’s privacy settings and I did not want to leak any location info to google.

    If you don’t like it, you can revert to stock android, no problem.


  • I volunteer in the community and strike up the political conversations there. Most people prefer to believe a pretty lie over the truth. At least the 60+ folks I get in touch with.

    My voice is there, but I am competing against most news outlets and centrist/right politicians spinning their anti-immigrant and pro-war rhetoric. If headlines are put in print, people believe them.

    I’m not able to teach people to critically think or question the truth and intent of what the political majority tells them. Sadly, I’ve tried and am at a loss and tired. If you have ideas how to do this, please share.
