Americans always like to point out how much nuclear power china has. Meanwhile they have the biggest growth of solar installation worldwide too.

The Chinese have figured out that installing shit that gives you energy for free is pretty good.

@Humpleupagus @Sergio4ever @rubberducky @dictatordave who needs to get pushed onto more convenient ways of long distance travel??

I bought a car.
And still what am I going to do if I need to this week get to an airport far away. I'm not going to drive there and pay some asshole to park a car there for a week and have it vandalised. Why do that when I can get on a train here and just ride the train directly to the airport.
It's cheaper AND more chill

@ThatCrazyDude @Flick @Eiregoat having fuses in the plug is not for human protection. its just the effect you get when designing your appliances with tiny shit cables, for a ringcircuit fused with 32A.

@histoire3 no no that’s fucking garbage

@maid that second use case is kinda shit. Understandable for dev speed but overall crap.

But hey. That’s why systemd exists. So instead of having to ship a bloated app that includes everything. Software developers can just rely on any of the 69 individual binaries systemd has.
Like networking stuff and user data and device management.

All the stuff developers needed to ship one super bloated blob in the past because every distro did it differently.

Finally a government worse than the EU???
Woooo! The human experience is great.

@maid what actual reasons do you use against systemd though?
It’s winning due to its merit of the idea behind systemd and an overall mostly okay execution of it.
Which is better than can normally be asked for. Having a hundred of vastly different and worse solutions for each distro pre systemd.

@maid understandable but you are also an idiot. Unix philosophy is not a good design paradigm for 2026. Running ai generated apps or apps that regularly get injected with some malware virus shit, without sandboxing and permissions system is pretty shitty.
It also helps with lazy or mediocre devs unable to ship things that work with several versions of dependencies. Everything needs that one specific chrome and one specific nodejs version to run or whatever it is.

@maid yea because you definitely look at the source code of every package you install and determine if it has had any ai assistance or vibecoding done to it. I’m sure.

@maid better being master race than a fucking retard.

Although I am for just calmly and normally responding to bullshit from shitposter world
