But storage is getting cheaper and cheaper as we move further into renewables. The storage problem is not unfixable, it’s being solved just like the gas station and road paving problem was solved during the automobile revolution. The beginning of something is always messy, problems and mistakes happen. But we are a clever species and we are working on it. Fuck these men who want to keep burning our planet, I won’t be discouraged.

The fossil industry, which earns 1 billion dollars a day since the 1970s, won’t go down without a fight. They are very powerful, able to start wars and overthrow governments. These fossil destroyers know they are dying, but they will fight back to keep the money flowing in. The best we can do is drain their business model by going renewable as fast as we can. Nuclear is not an option anymore, they know that as well, it’s already way too expensive. But they use it anyway to buy some time. Making more money while we are debating it.

This one was, obviously. I wrote Oh no! and posted it. I obviously wasn’t trying to sell this as my opinion, calm down!

I’ll post this here again. This is just the beginning, we’re like five years into a every revolution and you are drumming against it because you’re not convinced. Get out of the way, boomer!
Germany has over 400 MW of solar-plus-storage projects under development, with notable installations like a 100 MW/200 MWh battery system in Bavaria. California leads globally with 6,600 MW of battery storage already operational and an additional 1,900 MW expected by year-end, totaling 8,500 MW. By 2045, California aims to expand its capacity to 52,000 MW. Australia is also scaling rapidly, with around 9 GW of utility-scale battery projects underway or completed.

Then tell me about it instead of downvoting! I’d love a custom rom for my car and was obviously not happy about the AI answer.

Yeah I obviously did, because I wanted to know the answer and share it with you. Why would that be a bad thing?

Oh no:
It is theoretically possible to replace the operating system of an electric car with an open-source or custom alternative, similar to flashing a custom ROM on Android smartphones. However, in practice, this comes with significant challenges. Here’s an overview:
Theoretical Feasibility
-
Hardware Compatibility:
- Electric vehicles rely on specific hardware components (e.g., control units, sensors, actuators) that are tightly integrated with the operating system.
- A custom operating system would need to understand and control this hardware. However, the underlying hardware specifications (APIs, protocols) are often proprietary and not publicly available.
-
Software Architecture:
- Modern electric cars use highly complex software architectures that include real-time operating systems, safety-critical systems, and user-facing interfaces.
- A replacement OS would need to handle safety-critical functions (like braking and steering) as well as infotainment features.
-
Open-Source Efforts:
- There are initiatives like Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), which aim to create open-source software for vehicles. However, these are typically designed for automakers and not readily available for end-user modification.
Practical Challenges
-
Safety Risks:
- Operating safety-critical functions such as braking, propulsion, and battery management requires certified software.
- Modifying the software introduces safety risks, which can have serious consequences, especially on public roads.
-
Legal Barriers:
- Many countries mandate that vehicles operate only with approved software to ensure compliance with safety and emissions regulations.
- Modifying the vehicle’s software could result in the loss of roadworthiness certification.
-
Technical Restrictions:
- Manufacturers often use encryption and digital signatures to protect access to the vehicle’s software.
- Replacing the operating system would require bypassing these security measures, which could be legally and technically problematic.
-
Lack of Community Support:
- Unlike smartphones or PCs, there is currently no large-scale community actively developing user-friendly open-source operating systems for electric vehicles.
Examples from Practice
- Some enthusiasts and hackers have managed to modify software on vehicles like Tesla cars to add custom features or access internal data. However, these projects remain experimental and risky.
- Initiatives like Comma.ai focus on creating aftermarket autonomy systems, demonstrating the challenges of modifying or replacing existing systems.
Conclusion
Replacing the operating system of an electric car is theoretically possible but practically extremely difficult due to legal, technical, and safety-critical constraints. While it could be an exciting project for hobbyists and developers, any modifications would likely render the vehicle unfit for legal road use in most jurisdictions.

Another problem arises when your generation 63.688 after today and still have to keep maintaining deadly waste from nations that don’t exist anymore, because they produced “cheap” and “clean” every for a couple of decades.
Come on, Jesus died like 2000 years ago, this stuff will haunt us for centuries. Arguing in favor of nuclear energy is just selfish and shortsighted. - Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 5 weeks ago:

Vegan Bullshit Bingo #6: Food is everbody’s personal choice
How can something that others literally gave their lives for be a personal choice? Food nowadays is globally produced and distributed and affects - like most of our decisions - many more parties and beings, such as animals and our entire ecosystem. The taste of of music you have is a personal choice. The freedom to choose what we consume though, should not limit the freedom of others. Be it through animal exploitation, destruction of ecosystems, inhumane working conditions in the animal industry, zoonoses and pandemics, multidrug resistant pathogens, waste of resources and further consequences, that lead others to suffer.but I can’t stand the vegans that try to put others down for eating meat
Nature is kill or be killed and has been since the dawn of time. Everything eats everything else.

Veganism is like a religion
That sounds like an attempt at discrediting Veganism as unreasonable and irrational, just to not seriously deal with it. As Veganism is based on facts, logic and common sense, it is the exact opposite of a religion. Consuming animal products though, mostly means blindly following irrational traditions and ignoring the facts or refusing them by reasoning: “That’s how we’ve always done it”. That sounds more like a religion to me…
- Comment on Honey 1 month ago:
“Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.”

From the Vegan Bullshit Bingo:
#30 How do you spot a vegan?
HAHA Donald, that’s hilarious! Mostly by what you also recognize human rights, women’s and all other activists by: They talk about the grievances they have discovered and want to fix. By the way: Often vegans can also be recognized by the fact that they peacefully eat their soy schnitzel at the barbecue until someone, driven by their own bad conscience, has to make a comment about it and is suddenly angry at vegans for some reason after they have calmly and kindly explained their motivations upon request.#54 Vegans think they are better than everyone While it feels good to know that you have questioned traditions and made your own informed decisions in line with values that reject violence rather than promote it, you should not get on a high horse, because almost all vegans were once not vegan and everyone can take this step. However, completely refusing to address the issue is a difficult stance to take. By the way: Just because a vegan once told you an uncomfortable truth, they were not being mean to you. And even if you didn’t like a vegan once, that doesn’t question the whole point of veganism or justify continuing to exploit animals.
