But… you have choice. Nobody needs to go to taylor Swifts concerts. Nobody needs to see the next Marvel movie. It’s a business.

As long as people only spend money on things that are worth more to them than said money, everyone is fine. If people can’t control their purchases, it isn’t the industry’s fault.

I’m fortunate to not enjoy popular culture in the first place.

And a lifestyle that doesn’t require cars seems incomprehensible to them.

It seems that when a dictator’s interests differ from his countries interests, the entire country becomes foreign to him

Isn’t cheap land good for anything that involves land use?

We have the north sea, quite windy and shallow enough to build tall wind Mills.

Currently the power rating is up to 10 MW and the blades are over 100m (300ft) long.

I agree

I didn’t say density is the paramount parameter. Also, once you optimize one drawback, it generally gets less important.

I just wanted to put the image into context, and show that it isn’t a big step backwards, just sideways perhaps. Or in other words, a sigle wind farm isn’t relevant, the sum is

It’s about density. Renewables Are great, but not on terms of value add per square foot. The coal under the wind mill is worth orders of magnitude more than the windmill.

And, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In general, the number of windmills keeps increasing.

I’m absolutely not surprised.

Them and chemicals in general.

Feature request: an option to aggregate all comments of crossposted posts. It would save manually going through each crosspost

No, i actually meant to be constructive. Nevermind

I just wanted to point out that we have choice. Though it seems redundant, because everyone who end up on Lemmy should know that

Well, then go to a nice community, perhaps even a different instance.

That decline is slower than I expected. It shows that more people stay than not

federation with other previously unfederated instances full of comments. just a guess.

i don’t want to be THAT guy, but the companies that operate these planes have done silly things like this in the past, because we will talk about it, and someone will then book it for his birthday

I do understand. But is lemmy so different from reddit? In each case the content is done by the users anyway, and subreddits come and go all of the time. One could argue that Facebooks aquisition of WhatsApp is the same kind of change, as switching out the reddit backend of Sync with a lemmy backend.

I wish they had just updated the old App.

can you enlighten me?

It’s a service, why should you pay once? It’s like water and electricity, ongoing cost needs to be balanced by ongoing revenue. Especially when the utility is also ongoing.

If you prefer paying once, get some dividend ETFs and use the dividends to pay for the service. Yes, it’s expensive, but you can also sell the etf again when you stop using the service.
