Leave me alone. And for gods sake, don’t ban me!
Ok. Valid argument.
But while Germany quit nuclear power, the rest reinforced their standpoint.
Thousands of scientists from different countries all agreed upon nuclear power to be a reasonable source of energy. Even a Japan is still going forward with nuclear power. It is only Germany, which made an emotional choice, Merkel wanted to please the masses. And here we are now. Burning coal, as if we were thrown back into the industrial time, forced to use primitive methods to produce energy.
Yes nuclear power plants are very expensive. But the energy density is phenomenal.
Energetic armortisation is far quicker on a nuclear plant than on solar panels.
And the argument of subsidies is usually a fake one, since governments also pour millions into renewable energies.
Broken down to lifetime cost to the cost of comparable technologies, nuclear is still on the same level as solar and wind.
Since I am from Germany, and German sources might not be ideal to share, let me explain it this way: People are not stupid. They will never choose the financially unwise option, if the other one would seriously be the better one.
Let it run 5 months and the money is back in.
You are missing the point. People will return there to partake. r/place was immensely popular.
Most people expected a 5 year wait. So for most people this becomes a refreshing surprise. And for the duration of the event, many people on Lemmy will return to Reddit. They will partake in organising pixelart and thereby getting pulled back into Reddit communities.
( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°) It looks like torture.
Some sick idea of a deranged kid. It has the same feeling as tying cans to a cats tail, as seen in some movie I cannot remember. Imagine someone tying helium balloons on a mice and letting it go. …
Anyway …
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ I like it!
We will see the outcome. No need to further discuss.
Alright. That’s a Standpoint I can respect.
I guess the future will show.
Exactly. And now the question is, if the contract was broken or not. To my knowledge Musk didn’t fire twitters legal team. So letting some employees go, should have been looked I to by said legal team.
Yes. That’s a good thing. We will see who’s right and who’s wrong.
Oh no, I get called a bootlicker and oh no, downwards pointing arrows are clicked on my comments by people without knowledge about economics.
I feel like walking into a group of Scientologists, trying to explain them Quantum Mechanics.
And that’s just not correct. Twitter is still running. It has still grown in username in the last months. Their business model expanded to a subscription model.
And all this talk about servers and api is just crap talk of unhappy people that do not know how a company is made profitable. It’s the same kind of people that are angry about Reddit and believe Reddit to go bankrupt. What a joke.
Hold on. A company is not always bound to pay all those things. It’s always a legal question. And while the media makes a big deal out of it, the severance and bonuses claims are still just lawsuit claims.
And to my knowledge, many of those claims are still questionable.
I am not supporting criminal actions. If severance is owed, than it must be payed.
But that doesn’t mean that musk cannot juristically look into it. Not everyone is entitled to severance.
To be honest, it comes all naturally.
BUT that doesn’t mean that I am wrong in this instance.
A smaller team as a reasonable thing doesn’t mean that I think it’s reasonable to not pay employees that are owed.
But a company is not owed to employ someone.
I typed for 10 minutes. Can’t double the time wasted for an ideological debate. I better waste that time watching memes.
Oh man. I just answered you to every point and then the Memmy app crashed. And my comment in the making was gone.
I am not willing to repeat everything in a foreign language.
We will not agree anyway.
The world will continue to spin around. And platforms will come and go over the years.
Good and bad is a matter of taste. And who are we to degrade another’s taste as bad…
A comparison is best suited for this discussion.
Back a few years ago, PayPal started big. It was new, it became big.
And now there are new competitors like Klarna.
And yes, this new competition might have cost PayPal a few costumers. But it was not the end of PayPal, as many have predicted.
And same goes for twitter. There is no meantionable decrease in user numbers.
Only the number of ported instagram accounts to threads was discussed as the big change.
No big Migration means that most still runs smoothly. No press article can change that.
And that trump didn’t come back is probably as simple as to why he became a candidate for presidency. His ego was hurt. And he thinks of himself as a man of principles. And maybe he created an echo chamber of his supporters.
You are repeating yourself.
This is a German source that incorporates many studies and presents their results. Some agree with my statement, some with yours. But fact is, that the financial difference is very small.

Page 23 for example suggests my statement.
On page 32 you can see the development that suggests that you are right.
But considering the costs for the expansion of the energy grid, battery storage systems, and the rising production costs of everything, I believe Nuclear to be the cheaper option and the far more reliable one.
