Everybody had ICQ. You probably are too young to remember, but ICQ was as commonly used as Instagram today.

Poor Elon put in so much effort into his Nazi Salute, he'd be pretty upset about you downplaying his best attempt, if he could read what you wrote here about him.

I don't know which bubble you're in, but since Elon took over, Twitter became absolutely unusable.

The decline happened with bots flooding the platform, with the "creator reward" program rewarding meaningless engagement bait, and with people who I respect in the Tech bubble leaving the platform, which led to an even faster decline.

That was just not the case before the takeover; back then, you would enjoy scrolling through it, engage in authentic conversations, and learn a thing or two.

You didn't read your own article. They're debating to end feed-in tariffs for solar panel electricity.

Germany does not have set electricity prices like France does with the EDF.

The Greens were not in Office when the nuclear exit was decided 2011.

The Greens actually prolonged their life time during Covid, after RWE, EON and EnBW argued that it does not make sense economically to let them run longer.

No insurer wanted to insure nuclear, and no energy company wanted to keep losing money on nuclear.

Since nuclear is the most expensive form of energy generation, it makes sense to switch it off first.

Re:Octane – React's programming model, compiled on Monday August 03, 2026 @05:17AM (#49153234)
Funny how Vue Vapor 3.6 beta and Ripple 0.3 show the exact same performance (1.0) as Octane, but their bars are a tiny bit longer so the Octane team can pretend to have a justification to put their implementation on top.

Classic statistics dark pattern.

Only if "the aggregate revenue of the Licensee and its affiliates exceeds 20 million US dollars (or the equivalent in other currencies) in total over any consecutive 12 months"
For all practical uses of the word, that's exactly what we mean by "catch up".

Whether they get there by distillation, or by pirating all content themselves just like the US labs, doesn't matter for the topic at hand.

> Each of the hundreds of varieties of wheat cultivated in the United States falls under one of six classes depending on its planting time, harvest, hardiness, color and shape. The protein content of these wheat varieties ranges from 10 to 15 percent; durum wheat is the second highest. One hundred grams of durum wheat has 13.68 grams of protein; soft red winter wheat has 10.35 grams; soft white wheat contains 10.69 grams; hard white wheat has 11.31 grams; and 100 grams of hard red winter wheat has 12.61. The highest protein content occurs in hard red spring wheat, which contains 15.4 grams of protein per 100 grams.

Good spaghetti has 15% protein, 15g per 100g.

Even the lowest quality one has 12g/100g.

Because it means that they think I'm stupid.

They think it's not worth investing human attention to write it, so why am I expected to invest my attention to read it?

If it's written as SEO spam, why link it here?

If it's written to be read by humans, do they think we're stupid?

You can select Copilot as provider in OpenCode.

Copilot is used a safe liability layer for enterprises, not as an actual harness.

At $OURCORP we are only allowed to use models available in Copilot. No problem to use them in OpenCode.

Since this is under the "Next Steps" section, it's pretty clear to me that the €200M fine is a fixed one-time fine that was issued now, but further, repeated fines ("periodic") will be issued if the hazard is not removed.

I'm not amused. Are you amused?

> They created a new society on the land.

I see my message didn't quite get through.

You're almost there however. Think one step further: What stops the next "immigrants" from renaming your cute "society" that you currently have there, and declare a proper, civilized society, with a proper culture for once?

As a European, I also support this. Natives should not have to compete with all these new people for housing. Real Americans really need to begin advocating for themselves. For their material interests.

Come back where you belong.

> immigration should be slow enough that they can be thoroughly assimilated before they change American culture

I support your idea. Would you agree that all immigrants that arrived in America after, let's say, 1493, have to leave America and apply for citizenship?

If you don't agree, can you propose another immigration year after which you'd have to leave America again? Would you agree on 1783?

If it isn't, it absolutely should be.

The penalty cannot be high enough.
