Don't bother mate. All these people commenting are American radicals. Lemmy has received a massive influx of them after Reddit increased its moderation standards. I wish there was a social media platform made just for Europeans so I wouldn't have to listen to Americans constantly.

As a Romanian myself I could tell them about the horrendous living conditions my relatives had to go through during communism, but it won't matter. They'll still chant their nonsense like some drugged priests.

Communism is horrible. It didn't work, it doesn't work and it will never work.

Go on you losers. Downvote me all you want.

I will cut off my left testicle and eat it for breakfast if Judy can name one ingredient in the MMR vaccine.

Water.

My name is Judy.

This… might just be the craziest thing I’ve read since the election

We so far have:

1. Trump turning the White House in a Tesla dealership
2. Trump putting tarrifs on penguins, but not on Russia
3. US warplans leaked because someone doesn't know how to use his phone
4. The US becoming a crypto bro.
5. The US looking to invade Canada, Mexico, Panama, and Greenland while also looking to extort the rest of the fucking planet.
6. The US stealing the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico.

Just to name a few. We are only 4 months into his term people. I'd say Elon humping everything that moves is just a regular tuesday.

My god, I just checked that site. The whole thing is a zoo. Millions of years of evolution went into this species only to go down the toilet there.

I don't think there's a financial reason for this. I think he's willing to lose money on his AI in the short time by doing this just so he can score some points with Trump since the EU is soon going to strike his company with even more fines for breaking EU law. He probably wants Trump to stop this from happening and this kind of stuff tickles the pickle of that dingus.

Wait, you think Putin has credibility when speaking on climate change?

I never said that. I said that to the general public he may appear as more credible based on his behavior when adressing the issue compared to Greta which would undermine environmental efforts. This is what I'm concerned about.

I can't imagine a world where you're calling that "petulant". At 16 years old she had more poise and gravitas than many of the world leaders she was speaking to. You say she hasn't done anything. I beg to differ. Further, if what she has done is nothing, it raises the obvious question: what have you done to avert climate catastrophe?

Ok, usually I welcome debates, but I can see that you were very angry when you wrote this so I think it's better that we stop here. Before finishing off, I would like to clarify one more time that I'm not a climate change denier. I just don't like the way Greta and others like her operate since it's my belief that their aggressiveness undermines the movement and increases the risk of turning people into reactionaries. That's my opinion. I'm entitled to it just as much as you're entitled to your own.

Here's a useful chart comparing all the popular cloud and email providers - https://eylenburg.github.io/cloud_comparison.htm

I use Tuta and I'm very satisfied with it. It offers end-to-end encryption, the client is open source and it's user friendly. The most common complaint you'll hear from people about it is that it doesn't offer IMAP. Personally I don't mind it that much. It really depends on what you're looking for.

Greta Thunberg is 22 years old right now, and was "screaming" and "blaming people" when she was 11 years old.

Expecting an 11 year old to provide answers that none of the established world has is silly.

Fully agreed.

She saw the world she was going to inherit and forced conversation to work toward solutions

I disagree. I saw her speak and the reactions to some of her speeches. Her inflamatory and derogatory speeches did nothing more than help opponents of the energy transition. To give you an example, when asked about it during an interview Putin jumped at the opportunity to discredit the energy transition. While the public saw Greta behaving like a petulant child during the speech, they then saw Putin speaking calmy, asking real questions like "How are poor nations going to transition when they need cheap fossils to sustain themselves?". They then take this bit and plaster it on every social media site. People see it and are inclined to take Putin's side since he appears more knowledgeable and in control of himself. And just like that he gets a boost in his reputation.

This is why I don't like activists like her and the author of this article. They do more harm than good by expressing themselves in such a violent manner.

"listen to the experts who have been screaming at you for 50 years."

That would be fine provided that it's done correctly and civilized. Which is my point. Raising awarness is fine.Throwing insults loudly left and right to raise awareness is not. It only makes you seem delusional and sheds a bad light on your cause. This allows climate change deniers to take advantage of that to further their agenda.

We fully transition to clean energy like nuclear and build more power plants to allow us to store our online stuff.

The author of this article is not a serious person. He's in the same bucket as Greta Thunberg. They just like to scream and blame people instead of providing practical solutions. It's frankly tiring to hear them despite their honorable intentions.

It also includes the people that deleted their Twitter accounts following the acquisition. I'm one of those people and I'm especially annoyed because I only used that blasted app only to register to some giveaways when I was in middle school. I have since discontinued that email account, but still.
