- Comment on Britain's state-owned energy company will not be allowed to use solar panels linked to Chinese slave labour, under changes to government plans 1 week ago:
We have OxfordPV, though I believe they manufacture the panels in Germany. I’m sure there are reasons for this but cheap manpower won’t be one.
- Comment on Full Circle 3 weeks ago:
The problem we’re addressing is that the prefixes are made redundant by the syntax of to and from. ‘immigrating to europe’ ‘emmigrating from europe’. Dropping the prefix in this context doesn’t change the meaning: ‘migrating to europe’ ‘migrating from europe’.
- Comment on Full Circle 3 weeks ago:
From wiktionary: Verb migrate (third-person singular simple present migrates, present participle migrating, simple past and past participle migrated)
(intransitive) To change habitations across a border; to move from one country or political region to another. To escape persecution, they migrated to a neutral country.
This is already common usage and I don’t see the need for any prefixes to the word. The Etymonline definition is giving the definition of the root, not the current english word.

- Comment on Skyrim teaches a Lemmy user about fascist propaganda 3 months ago:
The fact both sides of the civil war can be argued for is a great thing: it means that you can choose different justifications for your character to join either side instead of there just being a ‘good’ option. You’re forced to pick the ‘best option available’ depending on what your character would think; this is an RPG after all.

Removing the Thalmor would make Skyrim a much less nuanced game, it’s better off for not having easy moral choices.

Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077, the Resident Evil games. Even Frostpunk sold well enough to expect a sequel to do better.

Sometimes the sun doesn’t shine, sometimes the wind doesn’t blow. Renewables are great and cheap, but they aren’t a complete solution without grid level storage that doesn’t really exist yet.
