I am not sure which is worst. The ones that don’t care at all or the ones that outright lie about caring. :(

We need to stop pretending plastics are recyclable. Even the ones that technically can be are not financially viable to do and we are only able to do so to a small fraction of what is produced.

And let’s not forget about the other two vastly more important Rs - reduce and reuse. Recycle was meant to be the last ditch attempt, not the first port of call.

Basically yes:

In the forseeable future, renewable e-methanol will be substantially more expensive than conventional oil-based shipping fuels like marine diesel or LSFO.

But lets not forget the lobbying against any sort of regulation on it like forcing a quota on renewable fuel sources.

Even lobbying organizations from the shipping industry appeared positive towards such a quota. In a statement by the European Community Shipowners’ Associations, they write that they support the EU Parliament’s proposal for a 2030 quota in principle but want similar requirements for fuel suppliers.

they support it in principle… what the hell does that mean? They like the idea of it but cannot actually support it? Or just they want to sound like they support it when really they don’t. Either way the proposals were watered down and delayed:

If any of these proposals had been passed, the fate of FlagshipONE might have been different. However, the EU eventually agreed to much weaker requirements. A quota of 2 percent RFNBOs would only start in 2034, and even that comes with some caveats. Under the final FuelEU Maritime regulation, shipping companies would not have any requirement to purchase relatively expensive e-fuels for another decade and can likely fulfill the modest emission reduction requirements while still primarily relying on fossil fuels.

Went hungry is a bit of an understatement… I went hungry yesterday because I forgot to eat lunch. The other term they use later on ‘facing chronic undernourishment’ describes the problem a lot better.

Yup, and loads of people driving to the store will pollute more then one truck delivering to those same people.

If only cities were walkable and had good public transport, then deliveries would be worst.

Ideally yes. All core files would be handled by nixos. Except I doubt that is how crowedstrike would work on nixos if it existed on nixos.

Crowedstrikes downloads and manages it own definition file that gets updated multiple times per day. It is this file that was malformed causing the driver to break. This needs to be updated regularly, more then other packages and so would very likely not be something managed by nix package manager but more treated as application data and outside the scope of the nix package manager.

This is how updates to steam and discord are handled in nixos. Only the core updater is packaged and the rest of the application is self managed. So there is a precedence for this behaviour on nixos (although these won’t break your system if a bad update happens as the files are in your user dir).

That assums the file is not stored on a writable section of the filesystem and treated as application data and thus wouldn’t survive a rollback. Which it likey would.

Nixos still let’s discord and steam download their core files independently of the configuration. These get stored in the users home dir but are effectively not part of the immutable promise. I believe that the crowdstrike problem was caused by a file updated in a similar manor. So would have been an issue on any distro. That is one big problem with a driver relying on files outside the package managers control. At least with steam and discord they cannot take your whole system down.

Your battery drains more the more you activity use the device. Shocking…

If it is your phone just uninstall those apps, then you cannot use them. If the devices main point is those apps like gaming on the switch what do you expect? I think the only real problem here is the switch’s lack of customizability so you have no trade off between game quality and battery life like you can on something like the steam deck.
