Renewable energy does not provide reliable constant power and storage has significant externalities. This is why, when you cut nuclear, you just get more coal, oil, gas, and wood pellets. npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…uptt That's correct, you haven't heard me say that. I don't want Mastodon to become an echo chamber. npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…uptt You're looking at a tidal wave of criticism crashing into you and calling it an echo chamber. The echo chamber is when you are never exposed to exactly that. In an echo chamber, you don't realize you're in one; the only viewpoints you're hearing are your own. npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…uptt I don't think you're going to be persuaded away from this view. However, the reply guys exposing you to a paradigm different from your own, holding you to expectations you're unfamiliar with, are exactly what makes it not an echo chamber. If nobody ever bothered you or came into your notifs to disagree with you, you'd be in an echo chamber. Which it seems is what you're used to. npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…uptt Respectfully, Mastodon is less of an echo chamber than any social media on earth presently. That's exactly why people bounce off of it. There is absolutely nothing built into the system to shepherd you into a "good" experience. It's just humans. Love 'em or leave 'em, but if you stay it's on you to curate your experience. A lotta people don't like that, and that's OK. All Mastodon users ever asked for was the option to exist in a space they owned. Not for Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter to all shut down and everyone to be on Mastodon. npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…awd8 I love text adventures/interactive fiction! npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…rkgj Part of this is because our society abjectly despises artists. Even putting aside the chilling effect of discrimination and bigotry, our bourgeois elite openly brags about how uncultured they are. npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…yz28 The crypto wallet checker in this compromise really underlines the fact that there's so much overlap between LLM boosters and crypto boosters. It's all the same marks. They just found something easier to sell to people. npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…rkgj those were used for tournaments not war npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…rkgj OH that makes way more sense, it being GoT explains the horrifically drab gray filter over it all too. still it's a terrible representation of brutal medieval combat IMHO, I much preferred The Last Duel even with its idiosyncrasies. I did see that the fight I presume this comes from includes some techniques from actual manuals but yeah I'd never show this to a Hollywood exec and be like "this is what it should look like!" npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…rkgj this is nonsense with no bearing in actual medieval warfare though, surely you don't really want this? npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…rkgj that's not how plague spread, it was carried by their fleas. so I suppose the caption is accurate npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…rkgj I'm well aware that the symbol predates Hitler but Hitler predates the drawing. I doubt he will comment on the reference since I asked him at the time when he posted it and received no response, just his fans dogpiling me about it, none of whom I'm sure have any ulterior motives for liking pictures of swastikas! npub1kaj5jgy2jvnqf86rusv0hdzll4s6vh5s3x607r5vd5m0asvkj4usmgg92n Tael @nprofile…rkgj isnt this the dude who drew women wearing dresses covered in swastikas?
