  • Bitcoin lightning is absolutely hilarious. Your solution to Bitcoins problems is - not using Bitcoin. Wow, galaxy brain move.

    The energy cost to maintain the base chain is <1% of global energy use, mostly from renewables

    Yeah, that’s bullshit. First of all, 1% of energy use for a network that serves a few million transactions per day is really bad. A single 1kW node in Visa’s datacenter churns through that in an hour.

    Second, it’s not renewables. It’s everything they can get for cheap. And that’s often enough coal, gas, oil. Also, they’re driving up power demand as a whole, which means fossil energy is actually needed longer.




  • That’s the point.

    In Germany there was a battle between left and right back then. The economy boomed in the 20s and faltered in the 30s. Capitalists saw the threat of socialism looming just behind Poland and so they supported fascism.

    The Nazis funneled billions into large businesses. It was unsustainable and morally multi-level wrong, but they skimmed a lot of profits from these agreements. They got rich, while the economy started to collapse - even before the war.

    Even after the war, most of them got away. They kept much of their wealth.



  • That is absolute nonsense. SUSE mostly serves large enterprise customers.

    And where do you think the people deciding what to buy get their information? Mind share is important.

    I’m pretty sure SUSE is bigger than Canonical.

    That’s actually surprising to me, but I’d argue that Suse offers more products, it seems like Rancher, Longhorn, etc. have no canonical equivalent.





  • Aber auch das schafft die Schule nicht.

    Ich bin jetzt studierter Informatiker, aber hätte ich nur durch die Schule Kontakt zu Informatik gehabt, hätte ich das nie gemacht, weil es einfach grausam war.

    Die Schule bereitet einen auf exakt eines vor: Abitur. Das war’s.

    Kritisches Denken, Verstehen (nicht nur nachplappern) von Wissenschaft, Geschichte, Sprache, überhaupt von Zusammenhängen findet nicht statt. Begeisterung für irgendwas wecken ist nicht relevant und auch nicht gewünscht. Du sollst die Klappe halten und auskotzen, was dir vorgesetzt wird.

    Mach dir mal den Spass und guck nach, was zB in der 9. Klasse in Chemie dran war und frag deine ehemaligen Klassenkameraden was dazu. Sowas wie “wie funktioniert eine Batterie?” Oder “Was unterscheidet Diesel und Benzin?”. Das hattet ihr mit Sicherheit in der Schule und es ist relevant für das echte Leben. Aber erinnert sich da noch jemand dran?
