It’s what creates a lively community, though. As long as you’re not being a dick, it’s alright.

it would have been better to have it in the screenshot is all.
I was not in a position to do image editing at that moment to properly align context and bot comment. It was literally just screengrab and Ctrl+V.

I linked the source in addition to the screenshot. I gave all the context.

It’s not paywalled. The bot just didn’t detect the text content properly.

I got this idea from reading (and linking) a recent 2024 source that you clearly didn’t read or ran through a translator. Your 2022 source is outdated.

replacing them with coal
That’s not what agora-energiewende.de/…/ein-jahr-kernkraftausstie… is saying. Lignite (“Braunkohle”) -29TWh, hard coal (“Steinkohle”) -26TWh. A big factor of dealing with the evolved situation are much fewer energy exports (-23TWh).
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
I’m not defending coal energy. It’s a repeated and factually wrong claim from nuclear power proponents that trace radiation that is more concentrated in ash is somehow on par or even worse than nuclear waste or catastrophes. Just because that claim is wrong doesn’t automatically result in coal ash being fine and dandy.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
He’s back to promote nuclear energy and insult everyone who disagrees!
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
factoids
Factoids are wrong to begin with, just like claims that coal ash is significantly radioactive.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 2 weeks ago:
France comes begging across the border for coal and gas electricity in hot summers when their reactors have to lower output because river water for cooling is too hot. Then they pat themselves on the back because the CO2 is not generated within their borders.

Drilling deep holes is a great concept for geothermal energy. One might even forego the nuclear reactor part then and just do geothermal.

Ah, fusion reactors. Ready to market in 10 years since 1950.

They often put it in the mine it came from.
Good luck trying to convince Uranium mining countries to take it back.

- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
In some far future, sure. But at the moment Linux barely makes up 2% of the users
Fun fact: Whenever a console maker launches a new console, ahead of launch the user base is 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%. And yet no one of them would even think about not incentivizing game development for the upcoming platform.
and that number is not going to rise if developers started developing natively for Linux.
Based on which argument? Games on occasion break on updates. Players get banned for using Proton. That’s negative publicity.
There is currenttly negative incentive for developers to develop natively for Linux, I can’t find the article but there was a developer who ported their game to Linux and while Linux was barely a speck of their playerbase the Linux users made up the majority of support tickets.
Doesn’t change the fact that native games lead to a better experience for consumers (which I already outlined).
Valve would need insane incentives to get developers to develop for Linux. Or they could take fraction of that effort and make Proton better.
Start by offering a proper SDK that plugs into Visual Studio. You’re acting as if incentivizing would cost insane amounts of money, based on no fact at all.
Quite frankly I’m not sure why I even need to explain this
You barely explained anything. I explained why emulated Windows games lead to worse user experience. You refuted nothing of that.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
So you understand that it is way more beneficial for Valve to support proton than native Linux, and then say that Valve should incentivize native builds?
Proton should be the focus for older, existing games and native games should be the focus for new games. Not really that hard to understand.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
I think you’re missing the point. It’s not about OS backwards compatibility, it’s user library backwards compatibility.
I never proposed to ax Proton, so I’m not the one here missing any points.
It’s also why they don’t need to incentivize native builds, because they already solved that problem on their own with Proton. Why put effort into having developers develop native builds when you could just put that effort into Proton and essentially get the same result (and extra benefits) without hoping the developers do something they didn’t want to do in the first place?
I explained several times already that game updates breaking Proton compatibility is a real thing that would not have happened with native games.
Game developers develop for dedicated platforms other than Windows all the time. They’re called game consoles. Native games don’t just mysteriously break on updates or suddenly ban players because the game developer out of the blue decided that Proton is cheating. First launch of games doesn’t annoy with those stupid Microsoft runtime installer scripts, etc. Proper native games could be optimized the way console games are instead of relying on multiple levels of Windows compatibility layers (the newest BS Proton has to deal with is gamepad compatibility for launchers via a special input wrapper) – they are just a smoother experience all around.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
I see you don’t know about Steam Linux Runtimes which are backwards and forwards compatible. 1.0 (“scout”) is based on Ubuntu 12.04, so already 12 years of binary compatibility.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
Valve could start by releasing a Steam Deck SDK for Visual Studio that exposes an “Export to Steam Deck” option when targets the latest release of Steam Linux Runtime.
Currently they offer Docker containers which is good but could be improved.
Back when Steam Machines were a thing and Valve tried to only push Linux native games, game developers got placements on Steam Store’s landing page banner in return.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
And then they release an update for their game and it breaks on Proton. Happens every now and then. A proper native build would not have that problem.
- Comment on nuclear fear-mongering is a ploy by Big oil 2 weeks ago:
OP calling you a “dipshit” and others “fucking shills” is clear evidence OP knows he/she is losing the argument and gets emotional about it.
What’s funny is that nuclear apologists sweep other renewables like geothermal under the rug and only proclaim that wind and solar depend on the elements. Wind and solar do but others like geothermal don’t. Hydropower is also less dependent on flukes of nature.
Also France needs to lower their nuclear energy output in summer because the cooling water from rivers gets too hot.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
Chicken egg problem is exactly why incentivizing (which is not the same as mandating) would make sense.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
Too bad Valve is not incentivizing native Linux ports.

I presume Piped videos would likewise be blocked too?
It depends which proxy piped.video happens to use at the moment. It’s a dice throw as far as I can see… I successfully watched the video this morning but neither yesterday nor right now the video is loading for me.
